When manually managing memory, you're dealing with basically
the same constructs that you would have in C/C++. I mean,
you're even using the exact same functions when you're dealing
with malloc and free. So, ultimately, something is going to
have to free each of those nodes individually, just like it
would in C/C++, but it could be managed by destructors if RAII
or reference counting is being used, just like you would in C++.

Thanks. I'd rather prematurely optimize out the gc then have to
go back and get it to work. It's not hard to write non-gc code,
it's been done for ages. But having some compiler help makes
things nice. It seems there is more of a phobia of writing non-gc
code than the phobia of the gc.
