Well, of course portable C++ code won't assume that you have a

But portable D code will, so it really _is_ an advantage of the

My point was that it's perfectly possible to write C++ code
which uses a GC, not that it was normal or easy.
No, the point is that it would only with a particular C++
compiler.
It's not "C++" code if a C++ compiler can't run it correctly.
That would make it "a vendor-specific language similar to C++"
code.
