I didn't know about Unreal C++ using a GC, but the others have extremely little use. So little, that C++/CLR (at the time) had a bug for at least 2 years where doing something like initializing a CLR List (CLR, not std::) with an initializer list (I have forgotten the exact syntax, but it is similar to `auto lst = new List<int>{a, b}`) would allocate millions of elements on the heap (if I remember correctly, it would create a List of size 0xC0FFEE, or maybe it was 0xDEADBEEF - either way, obvious debug code, then set list[0]=a and list[1]=b).
