Can a C++ class determine whether it's on the stack or heap?

Question

I have

class Foo {
....
}

Is there a way for Foo to be able to separate out:

function blah() {
  Foo foo; // on the stack

A way for MFC classes:

.H

class CTestNEW : public CObject
{
public:
    bool m_bHasToBeDeleted;
    __declspec(thread) static void* m_lastAllocated;
public:
#ifdef _DEBUG
    static void* operator new(size_t size, LPCSTR file, int line) { return internalNew(size, file, line); }
    static void operator delete(void* pData, LPCSTR file, int line) { internalDelete(pData, file, line); }
#else
    static void* operator new(size_t size) { return internalNew(size); }
    static void operator delete(void* pData) { internalDelete(pData); }
#endif
public:
    CTestNEW();
public:
#ifdef _DEBUG
    static void* internalNew(size_t size, LPCSTR file, int line)
    {
        CTestNEW* ret = (CTestNEW*)::operator new(size, file, line);
        m_lastAllocated = ret;
        return ret;
    }

    static void internalDelete(void* pData, LPCSTR file, int line)
    {
        ::operator delete(pData, file, line);
    }
#else
    static void* internalNew(size_t size)
    {
        CTestNEW* ret = (CTestNEW*)::operator new(size);
        return ret;
    }

    static void internalDelete(void* pData)
    {
        ::operator delete(pData);
    }
#endif
};

.CPP

#include "stdafx.h"
.
.
.
#ifdef _DEBUG
#define new DEBUG_NEW
#endif

void* CTestNEW::m_lastAllocated = NULL;
CTestNEW::CTestNEW()
{
    m_bHasToBeDeleted = (this == m_lastAllocated);
    m_lastAllocated = NULL;
}
