I do know ARC is also a garbage collector, but is there an agreed name for the other GC's? There is a significant difference and performance implications with ARC vs. the other ones, that's what I meant.
You mean being the worse implementation of any GC algorithm, unless it makes use of tracing GC like optimizations, e.g. hazard pointers with deferred collection? Maybe.
Naturally there are agreed names for other GC's, that is what widely acknowledged books in CS like "The Garbage Collection Handbook" [0], or papers like "A unified theory of garbage collection" [1] go about describing.
