We want to reuse the scanner definition with a different table. This
is mainly code movement, and making the state table part of the filter
struct/class.
Commit d5523ead90 ("Mark some structures in the library interface
with visibility=default attribute.") fixed some mixed visibility
issues with structs. With the symbol default visibility reversed, this
is no longer a problem.
The dynamic generation of the linker version script for libnotmuch
exports has grown rather complicated.
Reverse the visibility control by hiding symbols by default using
-fvisibility=hidden, and explicitly exporting symbols in notmuch.h
using #pragma GCC visibility. (We could also use __attribute__
((visibility ("default"))) for each exported function, but the pragma
is more convenient.)
The above is not quite enough alone, as it would "leak" a number of
weak symbols from Xapian and C++ standard library. Combine it with a
small static version script that filters out everything except the
notmuch_* symbols that we explicitly exposed, and the C++ RTTI
typeinfo symbols for exception handling.
Finally, as the symbol hiding test can no longer look at the generated
symbol table, switch the test to parse the functions from notmuch.h.
Commits 9db2145272 ("lib/gen-version-script.h: add getline and
getdelim to notmuch.sym if needed") and 3242e29e57 ("build: add
canonicalize_file_name to symbols exported from libnotmuch.so")
started exporting compat functions from libnotmuch so that the cli
could use them. But we shouldn't export such functions from the
library. They are not part of our ABI. Instead, the cli should include
its own copies of the compat functions.
From a UI perspective this looks similar to what was already provided
for from, subject, and mid, but the implementation is quite
different. It uses the database's list of terms to construct a term
based query equivalent to the passed regular expression.
The index(3) function has been deprecated in POSIX since 2001 and
removed in 2008, and most code in notmuch already calls strchr(3).
This fixes a compilation error on Android whose libc does not have
index(3).
The non-field processor behaviour is is convert the corresponding
queries into a search for the unprefixed terms. This yields pretty
surprising results so I decided to generate a query that would match
the terms (i.e. none with that prefix) generated for an empty header.
The argument is that if the string passed to the field processor has
no spaces, then the added quotes won't have any benefit except for
disabling wildcards. But disabling wildcards doesn't seem very useful
in the normal Xapian query parser, since they're stripped before
generating terms anyway. It does mean that the query 'from:"foo*"' will
not be precisely equivalent to 'from:foo' as it is for the non
field-processor version.
This function was deprecated in notmuch 0.21. We re-use the name for
a status returning version, and deprecate the _st name. One or two
remaining uses of the (removed) non-status returning version fixed at
the same time
This function was deprecated in notmuch 0.21. We finally remove the
deprecated API, and rename the status returning version to the simpler
name. The status returning is kept as a deprecated alias.
Apparently some systems (MacOS?) have a system library called libutil
and the name conflict causes problems. Since this library is quite
notmuch specific, rename it to something less generic.
The object where pointer to `data` was received was deleted before
it was used in _notmuch_string_list_append().
Relevant Coverity messages follow:
3: extract
Assigning: data = std::__cxx11::string(message->doc.()).c_str(),
which extracts wrapped state from temporary of type std::__cxx11::string.
4: dtor_free
The internal representation of temporary of type std::__cxx11::string
is freed by its destructor.
5: use after free:
Wrapper object use after free (WRAPPER_ESCAPE)
Using internal representation of destroyed object local data.
For reasons not completely understood at this time, gmime (as of
2.6.22) is returning a date before 1900 on bad date input. Since this
confuses some other software, we clamp such dates to 0,
i.e. 1970-01-01.
Remove incorrect skipping to first match from init(), and add explicit
skip_to() and check() methods to work around xapian-core bug (the
check() method will also improve speed when filtering by one of
these).
We filter added exclude at add time, rather than modifying the query by
count search. As noted in the comments, there are several ignored
conditions here.
The main goal is to prepare the way for non-destructive (or at least
less destructive) exclude tag handling. It does this by having a
pre-parsed query available for further processing. This also allows us
to provide slightly more precise error messages.

mid: is the url scheme suggested by URL 2392. We also plan to
introduce more flexible searches for mid: than are possible with
id: (in order not to break assumptions about the special behaviour of
id:, e.g. identifying at most one message).
the idea is that you can run
% notmuch search subject:/<your-favourite-regexp>/
% notmuch search from:/<your-favourite-regexp>/
or
% notmuch search subject:"your usual phrase search"
% notmuch search from:"usual phrase search"
This feature is only available with recent Xapian, specifically
support for field processors is needed.
It should work with bindings, since it extends the query parser.
This is easy to extend for other value slots, but currently the only
value slots are date, message_id, from, subject, and last_mod. Date is
already searchable; message_id is left for a followup commit.
This was originally written by Austin Clements, and ported to Xapian
field processors (from Austin's custom query parser) by yours truly.
The retries are hardcoded to a small number, and error handling aborts
than propagating errors from notmuch_database_reopen. These are both
somewhat justified by the assumption that most things that can go
wrong in Xapian::Database::reopen are rare and fatal. Here's the brief
discussion with Xapian upstream:
24-02-2017 08:12:57 < bremner> any intuition about how likely
Xapian::Database::reopen is to fail? I'm catching a
DatabaseModifiedError somewhere where handling any further errors is
tricky, and wondering about treating a failed reopen as as "the
impossible happened, stopping"
24-02-2017 16:22:34 < olly> bremner: there should not be much scope for
failure - stuff like out of memory or disk errors, which are probably a
good enough excuse to stop
The two g_hash_table functions (insert, add) have different behaviour
with respect to existing keys. g_hash_table_insert frees the new key,
while g_hash_table_add (which is really g_hash_table_replace in
disguise) frees the existing key. With this change 'ref' is live until
the end of the function (assuming single-threaded access to
'hash'). We can't guarantee it will continue to be live in the
future (i.e. there may be a future key duplication) so we copy it with
the allocation context passed to parse_references (in practice this is
the notmuch_message_t object whose parents we are finding).
Thanks to Tomi for the simpler approach to the problem based on
reading the fine glib manual.
Replace multiple tables with some flags in a single table. This makes
the code in notmuch_database_open_verbose a bit shorter, and it should
also make it easier to add other options to fields, e.g. regexp
searching.

We already depend on glib both directly and indirectly (via gmime). We
might as well make use of its facilities. Drop the embedded libsha1
and use glib for sha1 digests.
The todo comment got separated from the status it's related to at
commit 3f32fd8a1c ("Add missing comment for
NOTMUCH_STATUS_READONLY_DATABASE."). Later, commit b65ca8e0ba ("lib:
modify notmuch.h for automatic document generation") moved it, but to
the wrong place. Fix the location.
It seems that no-one tried to compile without Xapian compact support
since March of 2015, since that's when I introduced a syntax error in
that branch of the ifdef.
Given the choice of maintaining this underused branch of code, or
bumping the Xapian dependency to a version from 2011, it seems
reasonable to do the latter.
This should not change the SONAME, and therefore won't change the
dynamic linking behaviour, but it may help some users debug missing
symbols in case their libnotmuch is too old.
This is needed so that when the map is modified during traversal, and
thus unlinked by the database code, the map is not disposed of until the
iterator is done with it.
We want to be able to query the properties directly, like:
notmuch count property:foo=bar
which should return a count of messages where the property with key
"foo" has value equal to "bar".
I believe the current one is misleading, because in my experiments
Xapian did not add : when prefix and term were both upper case. Indeed,
it's hard to see how it could, because prefixes are added at a layer
above Xapian in our code. See _notmuch_message_add_term for an example.
Also try to explain why this is a good idea. As far as I can ascertain,
this is more of an issue for a system trying to work with an unknown set
of prefixes. Since notmuch has a fixed set of prefixes, and we can
hopefully be trusted not to add XGOLD and XGOLDEN as prefixes, it is
harder for problems to arise.
_notmuch_database_log clears the log buffer each time. Rather than
introducing more complicated semantics about for this function, provide
a second function that does not clear the buffer. This is mainly a
convenience function for callers constructing complex or multi-line log
messages.
The changes to query.cc are to make sure that the common code path of
the new function is tested.
This support will be present only if the appropriate version of xapian
is available _and_ the user did not disable the feature when
building. So there really needs to be some way for the user to check.
Xapian 1.3 has introduced the DB_RETRY_LOCK flag (Xapian bug
275). Detect it in configure and optionally use it. With this flag
commands that need the write lock will wait for their turn instead of
aborting when it's not immediately available.
Amended by db: allow disabling in configure
Fix bug reported in id:20160606124522.g2y2eazhhrwjsa4h@flatcap.org
Although the C99 standard 6.10 is a little non-obvious on this point,
the docs for e.g. gcc are unambiguous. And indeed in practice with the
extra space, this code fails
#include <stdio.h>
#define foo (x) (x+1)
int main(int argc, char **argv){
printf("%d\n",foo(1));
}
Many of the external links found in the notmuch source can be resolved
using https instead of http. This changeset addresses as many as i
could find, without touching the e-mail corpus or expected outputs
found in tests.
Cleaned the following whitespace in lib/* files:
lib/index.cc: 1 line: trailing whitespace
lib/database.cc 5 lines: 8 spaces at the beginning of line
lib/notmuch-private.h: 4 lines: 8 spaces at the beginning of line
lib/message.cc: 1 line: trailing whitespace
lib/sha1.c: 1 line: empty lines at the end of file
lib/query.cc: 2 lines: 8 spaces at the beginning of line
lib/gen-version-script.sh: 1 line: trailing whitespace
It's already kindof gross that this is hardcoded in two different
places. We will also need these later in field processors calling back
into the query parser.
Since xapian provides the ability to restrict the iterator to a given
prefix, we expose this ability to the user. Otherwise we mimic the other
iterator interfances in notmuch (e.g. tags.c).
This is a thin wrapper around the Xapian metadata API. The job of this
layer is to keep the config key value pairs from colliding with other
metadata by transparently prefixing the keys, along with the usual glue
to provide a C interface.
The split of _get_config into two functions is to allow returning of the
return value with different memory ownership semantics.
To fully complete the ghost-on-removal-when-shared-thread-exists
proposal, we need to clear all ghost messages when the last active
message is removed from a thread.
Amended by db: Remove the last test of T530, as it no longer makes sense
if we are garbage collecting ghost messages.
There is no need to add a ghost message upon deletion if there are no
other active messages in the thread.
Also, if the message being deleted was a ghost already, we can just go
ahead and delete it.
Publicly we are only exposing the non-ghost documents (of "type"
"mail"). But internally we might want to inspect the ghost messages
as well.
This changeset adds two new private interfaces to queries to recover
information about alternate document types.
implement ghost-on-removal, the solution to T590-thread-breakage.sh
that just adds a ghost message after removing each message.
It leaks information about whether we've ever seen a given message id,
but it's a fairly simple implementation.
Note that _resolve_message_id_to_thread_id already introduces new
message_ids to the database, so i think just searching for a given
message ID may introduce the same metadata leakage.
The code to skip multiple slashes in _notmuch_database_split_path()
skips back one character too much. This is compensated by a +1 in the
length parameter to the strndup() call. Mostly this works fine, but if
the path is to a file under a top level directory with one character
long name, the directory part is mistaken to be part of the file name
(slash == path in code). The returned directory name will be the empty
string and the basename will be the full path, breaking the indexing
logic in notmuch new.
Fix the multiple slash skipping to keep the slash variable pointing at
the last slash, and adjust strndup() accordingly.

database: Store the parent ID for each directory document.
just a little over two months after the initial commit in the Notmuch
code history, making this the longest living bug in Notmuch to date.
Some compilers (older than gcc 4.5 and clang 2.9) do support
__attribute__ ((deprecated)) but not
__attribute__ ((deprecated("message"))).
Check if clang version is at least 3.0, or gcc version
is at least 4.5 to define NOTMUCH_DEPRECATED as the
latter variant above. Otherwise define NOTMUCH_DEPRECATED
as the former variant above.
For a bit simpler implementation clang 2.9 is not included
to use the newer variant. It is just one release, and the
older one works fine. Clang 3.0 was released around 2011-11
and gcc 5.1 2015-04-22 (therefore newer macro for gcc 4.5+)
We can't (but currently do) allow upgrades within transactions because
upgrades need their own transactions. We don't want to re-use the
current transaction because bailing out of an upgrade would mean loosing
all previous changes (because our "atomic" transactions don't commit
before hand). This gives us two options:
1. Fail at the beginning of upgrade (tell the user to end the
transaction, upgrade, and start over).
2. Don't allow the user to start the transaction.
I went with the latter because:
1. There is no reason to call `begin_atomic` unless you intend to to
write to the database and anyone intending to write to the database
should upgrade it first.
2. This means that nothing inside an atomic transaction can ever fail
with NOTMUCH_STATUS_UPGRADE_REQUIRED.
Per RFC 2183, the values for Content-Disposition values are not
case-sensitive. While at it, use the gmime function for getting at the
disposition string instead of referencing the field directly.
This fixes "attachment" tagging and filename term generation for
attachments while indexing.
Although I think it's a pretty bad idea to continue using the old API,
this allows both a more gentle transition for clients of the library,
and allows us to break one monolithic change into a series
It doesn't seem likely we can support simple date:<expr> expanding to
date:<expr>..<expr> any time soon. (This can be done with a future
version of Xapian, or with a custom query query parser.) In the mean
time, provide shorthand date:<expr>..! to mean the same. This is
useful, as the expansion takes place before interpetation, and we can
use, for example, date:yesterday..! to match from beginning of
yesterday to end of yesterday.
Idea from Mark Walters <markwalters1009@gmail.com>.
These functions are all just accessors, and it's pretty clear they don't
modify the query struct. This also fixes one warning I created when I
introduced status.c.
