Depends on what you mean.  It is perfectly possible to write a
garbage collection system in portable ANSI C.  It will of course
only handle memory that has been properly registered with the
garbage collector, not any plain memory just received from
malloc().  For an example of such a system, look at the Lisp
interpreter in GNU Emacs.  Or why not the C-Python interpreter,
which features garbage collection since version 2.0?
