C++ Garbage Collector Support

Garbage collector support (removed in C++23) Defined in header <memory> declare_reachable (C++11) (removed in C++23) declares that an object can not be recycled (function) undeclare_reachable (C++11) (removed in C++23) declares that an object can be recycled (function) declare_no_pointers (C++11) (removed in C++23) declares that a memory area does not contain traceable pointers (function) undeclare_no_pointers (C++11) (removed in C++23) cancels the effect of std::declare_no_pointers (function) pointer_safety (C++11) (removed in C++23) lists pointer safety models (enum) get_pointer_safety (C++11) (removed in C++23) returns the current pointer safety model (function)

A documentation screenshot about C++ garbage collector support, with every listed feature marked as removed in C++23, appears above a man lying defeated in the snow. The joke is that the entire garbage collector support has effectively been buried or killed by the language update, making this a reaction meme for deprecated or removed programming features.
