Yes, and their own strings etc, but they are usually out if date 
in their API design or just making up their own style... C++ is 
just not a good eco system for high level programming. For that 
purpose D with GC is obviously more accessible. C++ is good for 
low level programming, but one needs a well thought out model 
before coding. It is not a good language for prototyping and 
playing with ideas.
