I may have missed the joke but C++ doesn't have built in garbage collector. Even recent versions of the standard merely allow it but don't specify it is required.

People have written garbage collectors for C++, but just about no one used the standard library support that was in the standard.

More like garbage dispenser.

Pro C++ coders don't use delete, they call abort()

Did you forget the /s or is this the tactic where you intentionally post wrong statements in order to get people to correct you so that you learn something?

A garbage collector is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what's the problem?
