Yes, I understand that, I wasn't talking about the C interface.

I assume you haven't tried to compile your suggested code, because
1) your destructor function doesn't match the ggc_destructor_t signature.
2) you can't call placement delete like that
3) the placement delete in <new> is a no-op

You probably want something like this:

extern "C" void my_destructor_for_class_C (void* p)
{ static_cast<C*>(p)->~C(); }
