reindex: drop notmuch_param_t, use notmuch_indexopts_t instead There are at least three places in notmuch that can trigger an indexing action: * notmuch new * notmuch insert * notmuch reindex I have plans to add some indexing options (e.g. indexing the cleartext of encrypted parts, external filters, automated property injection) that should properly be available in all places where indexing happens. I also want those indexing options to be exposed by (and constrained by) the libnotmuch C API. This isn't yet an API break because we've never made a release with notmuch_param_t. These indexing options are relevant in the listed places (and in the libnotmuch analogues), but they aren't relevant in the other kinds of functionality that notmuch offers (e.g. dump/restore, tagging, search, show, reply). So i think a generic "param" object isn't well-suited for this case. In particular: * a param object sounds like it could contain parameters for some other (non-indexing) operation. This sounds confusing -- why would i pass non-indexing parameters to a function that only does indexing? * bremner suggests online a generic param object would actually be passed as a list of param objects, argv-style. In this case (at least in the obvious argv implementation), the params might be some sort of generic string. This introduces a problem where the API of the library doesn't grow as new options are added, which means that when code outside the library tries to use a feature, it first has to test for it, and have code to handle it not being available. The indexopts approach proposed here instead makes it clear at compile time and at dynamic link time that there is an explicit dependency on that feature, which allows automated tools to keep track of what's needed and keeps the actual code simple. My proposal adds the notmuch_indexopts_t as an opaque struct, so that we can extend the list of options without causing ABI breakage. The cost of this proposal appears to be that the "boilerplate" API increases a little bit, with a generic constructor and destructor function for the indexopts struct. More patches will follow that make use of this indexopts approach.

* Create a new, empty notmuch database located at 'path'.
*
* The path should be a top-level directory to a collection of

* store its data.
*
* After a successful call to notmuch_database_create, the returned

database: add n_d_index_file (deprecates n_d_add_message) We need a way to pass parameters to the indexing functionality on the first index, not just on reindexing. The obvious place is in notmuch_database_add_message. But since modifying the argument list would break both API and ABI, we needed a new name. I considered notmuch_database_add_message_with_params(), but the functionality we're talking about doesn't always add a message. It tries to index a specific file, possibly adding a message, but possibly doing other things, like adding terms to an existing message, or failing to deal with message objects entirely (e.g. because the file didn't contain a message). So i chose the function name notmuch_database_index_file. I confess i'm a little concerned about confusing future notmuch developers with the new name, since we already have a private _notmuch_message_index_file function, and the two do rather different things. But i think the added clarity for people linking against the future libnotmuch and the capacity for using index parameters makes this a worthwhile tradeoff. (that said, if anyone has another name that they strongly prefer, i'd be happy to go with it) This changeset also adjusts the tests so that we test whether the new, preferred function returns bad values (since the deprecated function just calls the new one). We can keep the deprecated n_d_add_message function around as long as we like, but at the next place where we're forced to break API or ABI we can probably choose to drop the name relatively safely. NOTE: there is probably more cleanup to do in the ruby and go bindings to complete the deprecation directly. I don't know those languages well enough to attempt a fix; i don't know how to test them; and i don't know the culture around those languages about API additions or deprecations.

I also want those indexing options to be exposed by (and constrained by) the libnotmuch C API. This isn't yet an API break because we've never made a release with notmuch_param_t. These indexing options are relevant in the listed places (and in the libnotmuch analogues), but they aren't relevant in the other kinds of functionality that notmuch offers (e.g. dump/restore, tagging, search, show, reply). So i think a generic "param" object isn't well-suited for this case. In particular: * a param object sounds like it could contain parameters for some other (non-indexing) operation. This sounds confusing -- why would i pass non-indexing parameters to a function that only does indexing? * bremner suggests online a generic param object would actually be passed as a list of param objects, argv-style. In this case (at least in the obvious argv implementation), the params might be some sort of generic string. This introduces a problem where the API of the library doesn't grow as new options are added, which means that when code outside the library tries to use a feature, it first has to test for it, and have code to handle it not being available. The indexopts approach proposed here instead makes it clear at compile time and at dynamic link time that there is an explicit dependency on that feature, which allows automated tools to keep track of what's needed and keeps the actual code simple. My proposal adds the notmuch_indexopts_t as an opaque struct, so that we can extend the list of options without causing ABI breakage. The cost of this proposal appears to be that the "boilerplate" API increases a little bit, with a generic constructor and destructor function for the indexopts struct. More patches will follow that make use of this indexopts approach.

notmuch_indexopts_t *indexopts,
database: add n_d_index_file (deprecates n_d_add_message) We need a way to pass parameters to the indexing functionality on the first index, not just on reindexing. The obvious place is in notmuch_database_add_message. But since modifying the argument list would break both API and ABI, we needed a new name. I considered notmuch_database_add_message_with_params(), but the functionality we're talking about doesn't always add a message. It tries to index a specific file, possibly adding a message, but possibly doing other things, like adding terms to an existing message, or failing to deal with message objects entirely (e.g. because the file didn't contain a message). So i chose the function name notmuch_database_index_file. I confess i'm a little concerned about confusing future notmuch developers with the new name, since we already have a private _notmuch_message_index_file function, and the two do rather different things. But i think the added clarity for people linking against the future libnotmuch and the capacity for using index parameters makes this a worthwhile tradeoff. (that said, if anyone has another name that they strongly prefer, i'd be happy to go with it) This changeset also adjusts the tests so that we test whether the new, preferred function returns bad values (since the deprecated function just calls the new one). We can keep the deprecated n_d_add_message function around as long as we like, but at the next place where we're forced to break API or ABI we can probably choose to drop the name relatively safely. NOTE: there is probably more cleanup to do in the ruby and go bindings to complete the deprecation directly. I don't know those languages well enough to attempt a fix; i don't know how to test them; and i don't know the culture around those languages about API additions or deprecations.

The obvious place is in notmuch_database_add_message. But since modifying the argument list would break both API and ABI, we needed a new name. I considered notmuch_database_add_message_with_params(), but the functionality we're talking about doesn't always add a message. It tries to index a specific file, possibly adding a message, but possibly doing other things, like adding terms to an existing message, or failing to deal with message objects entirely (e.g. because the file didn't contain a message). So i chose the function name notmuch_database_index_file. I confess i'm a little concerned about confusing future notmuch developers with the new name, since we already have a private _notmuch_message_index_file function, and the two do rather different things. But i think the added clarity for people linking against the future libnotmuch and the capacity for using index parameters makes this a worthwhile tradeoff. (that said, if anyone has another name that they strongly prefer, i'd be happy to go with it) This changeset also adjusts the tests so that we test whether the new, preferred function returns bad values (since the deprecated function just calls the new one). We can keep the deprecated n_d_add_message function around as long as we like, but at the next place where we're forced to break API or ABI we can probably choose to drop the name relatively safely. NOTE: there is probably more cleanup to do in the ruby and go bindings to complete the deprecation directly. I don't know those languages well enough to attempt a fix; i don't know how to test them; and i don't know the culture around those languages about API additions or deprecations.

reindex: drop notmuch_param_t, use notmuch_indexopts_t instead There are at least three places in notmuch that can trigger an indexing action: * notmuch new * notmuch insert * notmuch reindex I have plans to add some indexing options (e.g. indexing the cleartext of encrypted parts, external filters, automated property injection) that should properly be available in all places where indexing happens. I also want those indexing options to be exposed by (and constrained by) the libnotmuch C API. This isn't yet an API break because we've never made a release with notmuch_param_t. These indexing options are relevant in the listed places (and in the libnotmuch analogues), but they aren't relevant in the other kinds of functionality that notmuch offers (e.g. dump/restore, tagging, search, show, reply). So i think a generic "param" object isn't well-suited for this case. In particular: * a param object sounds like it could contain parameters for some other (non-indexing) operation. This sounds confusing -- why would i pass non-indexing parameters to a function that only does indexing? * bremner suggests online a generic param object would actually be passed as a list of param objects, argv-style. In this case (at least in the obvious argv implementation), the params might be some sort of generic string. This introduces a problem where the API of the library doesn't grow as new options are added, which means that when code outside the library tries to use a feature, it first has to test for it, and have code to handle it not being available. The indexopts approach proposed here instead makes it clear at compile time and at dynamic link time that there is an explicit dependency on that feature, which allows automated tools to keep track of what's needed and keeps the actual code simple. My proposal adds the notmuch_indexopts_t as an opaque struct, so that we can extend the list of options without causing ABI breakage. The cost of this proposal appears to be that the "boilerplate" API increases a little bit, with a generic constructor and destructor function for the indexopts struct. More patches will follow that make use of this indexopts approach.

*
* The intention is for the caller to use the mtime to allow efficient
* identification of new messages to be added to the database. The
* recommended usage is as follows:
*
* o Read the mtime of a directory from the filesystem
*
database: add n_d_index_file (deprecates n_d_add_message) We need a way to pass parameters to the indexing functionality on the first index, not just on reindexing. The obvious place is in notmuch_database_add_message. But since modifying the argument list would break both API and ABI, we needed a new name. I considered notmuch_database_add_message_with_params(), but the functionality we're talking about doesn't always add a message. It tries to index a specific file, possibly adding a message, but possibly doing other things, like adding terms to an existing message, or failing to deal with message objects entirely (e.g. because the file didn't contain a message). So i chose the function name notmuch_database_index_file. I confess i'm a little concerned about confusing future notmuch developers with the new name, since we already have a private _notmuch_message_index_file function, and the two do rather different things. But i think the added clarity for people linking against the future libnotmuch and the capacity for using index parameters makes this a worthwhile tradeoff. (that said, if anyone has another name that they strongly prefer, i'd be happy to go with it) This changeset also adjusts the tests so that we test whether the new, preferred function returns bad values (since the deprecated function just calls the new one). We can keep the deprecated n_d_add_message function around as long as we like, but at the next place where we're forced to break API or ABI we can probably choose to drop the name relatively safely. NOTE: there is probably more cleanup to do in the ruby and go bindings to complete the deprecation directly. I don't know those languages well enough to attempt a fix; i don't know how to test them; and i don't know the culture around those languages about API additions or deprecations.

I also want those indexing options to be exposed by (and constrained by) the libnotmuch C API. This isn't yet an API break because we've never made a release with notmuch_param_t. These indexing options are relevant in the listed places (and in the libnotmuch analogues), but they aren't relevant in the other kinds of functionality that notmuch offers (e.g. dump/restore, tagging, search, show, reply). So i think a generic "param" object isn't well-suited for this case. In particular: * a param object sounds like it could contain parameters for some other (non-indexing) operation. This sounds confusing -- why would i pass non-indexing parameters to a function that only does indexing? * bremner suggests online a generic param object would actually be passed as a list of param objects, argv-style. In this case (at least in the obvious argv implementation), the params might be some sort of generic string. This introduces a problem where the API of the library doesn't grow as new options are added, which means that when code outside the library tries to use a feature, it first has to test for it, and have code to handle it not being available. The indexopts approach proposed here instead makes it clear at compile time and at dynamic link time that there is an explicit dependency on that feature, which allows automated tools to keep track of what's needed and keeps the actual code simple. My proposal adds the notmuch_indexopts_t as an opaque struct, so that we can extend the list of options without causing ABI breakage. The cost of this proposal appears to be that the "boilerplate" API increases a little bit, with a generic constructor and destructor function for the indexopts struct. More patches will follow that make use of this indexopts approach.
