I did. You wanted acknowledgement that there are problems for which GC is best solution in C++. I explained why it is never best and likely never anything beyond "barely acceptable".

Do you understand that the linked article, and the talk referenced in the article describe a way to implement garbage collection as a solution to (memory management for) data structures with cycles?

Do you think that this problem is not equivalent to "how do I allow my dog to make a 'press this button for fart sound' app?"?

Do you have a better solution to reclaiming data structures with cyclic pointers?

Pool allocation, and delete the whole thing at the end.

Of course, sometimes (most times ?) you can't do this, and you really need a GC.

There is a reason why TAOCP spends a whole chapter on GC IIRC...
