I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's pretty evident from the
fundamental design of the GC that allowing existing pure C/C++ code to
run unchanged was a top priority, and indeed they have almost
completely succeeded at this.
(And I only say "almost" because I can only assume there's a corner
case out there somewhere with CoreFoundation-using code, since CF
objects are also garbage collected, but I am not actually aware of
any.)
