It depends what you mean by that, arrays and about all other data 
structures rely on GC. Also entire Phobos require GC.

D without any libraries does not rely on GC but then you have 
removed many useful features of the language. The situation is 
similar with C++ but there the library only depends on 
malloc/free without any extra memory penalty and tracing penalty.
