It sometimes is. In that case we don't use GC.

Don't get me wrong - there are issues with current GC enforcement
and it is a major problem for real-time applications, there are
lot of threads with debates on topic (with me acting on
against-the-GC side). But it is a very small subset of
applications most programmers will never even write once in their
life, for everything else existing tools are pretty good.

I really think it is more of C++ architectural habit that itches
you right now :)
