All of them, assuming you have a pointer to an object (since you can
cast it however you like, unfortunately. We've discussed this before).

If you just have a regular object passed by value, the fields accessible
are those in TYPE_FIELDS of the type of the object, and those fields
reachable through types in the TYPE_BINFOS (i don't remember whether we
represent access control in binfos)
