Er, C++ _compilers_ that support (conservative?) GC's do exist.

But you can't write standard C++ code and expect it to 
garbage-collect itself, you need external help that's not 
guaranteed by the standard.

D, on the other hand, has a GC built into the language itself; 
it's not an implementation detail.
