Why garbage collection when RAII is available?

Question

I hear talks of C++14 introducing a garbage collector in the C++ standard library itself. What is the rationale behind this feature? Isn\'t this the reason that RAII exists in

Answer 1

There isn't, because there isn't one. The only features C++ ever had for GC were introduced in C++11 and they're just marking memory, there's no collector required. Nor will there be in C++14.

There is no way in hell a collector could pass Committee, is my opinion.
