>Summary: XQ: Garbage Collector

Initial Comment:
Until now I still wasn't aware that some time ago the Boehm garbage collection 
library was removed from the pf sources.

I'd like to have it back :) Perhaps a new version will work with MonetDB.

The reason for my request is that most queries that are bigger than 2 pages of 
XQuery run out of memory during algebraic optimization. (Every rewrite 
introduces new nodes, new properties, etc.)

An alternative I could live (at least for the time being) is to extend the 
pf_allocator struct to store also a marker. Each PFmalloc invocation could then 
have an additional optional marker argument and a corresponding call of 
PFfree(marker) would free all memory that was marked during malloc with this 
marker value.

I however prefer the first variant (adding a real garbage collection library) 
as this is certainly less error-prone.
