The fancier smarter way, like defragmentation when needed, will be more inefficient in C++ than with Java JIT. Java JIT can use real pointers in its JIT'ed code, but C++ with a "fancy" memory management should have all pointers then indirect (or do code morphing). When GC in JVM notices there is fragmentation or the ratio of pagefaults has increased, it can re-arrange the objects and re-JIT the affected hotspots.
