This disallows adding empty tags, since nothing but confusion follows
in their wake, and disallows adding tags that begin with "-" because
they are also confusing, the tag "-" is impossible to remove using the
CLI, and because the syntax for removing such tags conflicts with long
argument syntax.
This does not place any restrictions on what tags can be removed, as
that would make it difficult for people who have the misfortune of
already having malformed tags to remove these tags.
It has been a long-standing issue that notmuch_database_open doesn't
return any indication of why it failed. This patch changes its
prototype to return a notmuch_status_t and set an out-argument to the
database itself, like other functions that return both a status and an
object.
In the interest of atomicity, this also updates every use in the CLI
so that notmuch still compiles. Since this patch does not update the
bindings, the Python bindings test fails.
To simplify code, keep all tagging operations in a single array
instead of separate add and remove arrays. Apply tag changes in the
order specified on the command line, instead of first removing and
then adding the tags.
This results in a minor functional change: If a tag is both added and
removed, the last specified operation is now used. Previously the tag
was always added. Change the relevant test to reflect the new
behaviour.

This ignores the results of the two writes in sigint handlers even
harder than before.
While my libc lacks the declarations that trigger these warnings, this
can be tested by adding the following to notmuch.h:
__attribute__((warn_unused_result))
ssize_t write(int fd, const void *buf, size_t count);
This optimizes the user's tagging query to exclude messages that won't
be affected by the tagging operation, saving computation and IO for
redundant tagging operations.
For example,
notmuch tag +notmuch to:notmuch@notmuchmail.org
will now use the query
( to:notmuch@notmuchmail.org ) and (not tag:"notmuch")
In the past, we've often suggested that people do this exact
transformation by hand for slow tagging operations. This makes that
unnecessary.
previously we deleted the subcommand name from argv before passing to
the subcommand. In this version, the deletion is done in the actual
subcommands. Although this causes some duplication of code, it allows
us to be more flexible about how we parse command line arguments in
the subcommand, including possibly using off-the-shelf routines like
getopt_long that expect the name of the command in argv[0].
gcc (at least as of version 4.6.0) is kind enough to point these out to us,
(when given -Wunused-but-set-variable explicitly or implicitly via -Wunused
or -Wall).
One of these cases was a legitimately unused variable. Two were simply
variables (named ignored) we were assigning only to squelch a warning about
unused function return values. I don't seem to be getting those warnings
even without setting the ignored variable. And the gcc docs. say that the
correct way to squelch that warning is with a cast to (void) anyway.
Instead of having an API for setting a library-wide flag for
synchronization (notmuch_database_set_maildir_sync) we instead
implement maildir synchronization with two new library functions:
notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags
and notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags
These functions are nicely documented here, (though the implementation
does not quite match the documentation yet---as plainly evidenced by
the current results of the test suite).
Since the name of the configuration parameter here is:
maildir.synchronize_flags
the convention is that the functions to get and set this parameter
should match it in name. Hence:
notmuch_config_get_maildir_synchronize_flags
etc. (as opposed to notmuch_config_get_maildir_sync).
This adds group [maildir] and key 'synchronize_flags' to the
configuration file. Its value enables (true) or diables (false) the
synchronization between notmuch tags and maildir flags. By default,
the synchronization is disabled.
It's not neccessary to sort the results before we apply tags. Xapian
contributor Olly Betts says that savings might be bigger with a cold
file cache and (as unsorted implies really sorted by document id) a better
cache locality when applying tags to messages.

We rename 'has_more' to 'valid' so that it can function whether
iterating in a forward or reverse direction. We also rename
'advance' to 'move_to_next' to setup parallel naming with
the proposed functions 'move_to_first', 'move_to_last', and
'move_to_previous'.
Glibc (at least) provides the warn_unused_result attribute on write,
(if optimizing and _FORTIFY_SOURCE is defined). So we explicitly
ignore the return value in our signal handler, where we couldn't do
anything anyway.
Compile with:
make CFLAGS="-O -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE"
before this commit to see the warning.
We only rarely need to actually open the database for writing, but we
always create a Xapian::WritableDatabase. This has the effect of
preventing searches and like whilst updating the index.

In particular, notmuch tag -inbox "" tended to take a long time to
run, happened if you hit 'a' on a blank line in the search view and
probably didn't have the desired effect.

By installing a signal handler for SIGINT we can ensure that no work
that is already complete will be lost if the user interrupts a
"notmuch new" run with Control-C.
The library interface now allows the caller to do incremental searches,
(such as one page of results at a time). Next we'll just need to hook
this up to "notmuch search" and the emacs interface.
All of the following commands:
notmuch dump
notmuch reply
notmuch restore
notmuch search
notmuch show
notmuch tag
were calling notmuch_database_open with an argument of NULL. This was
a legitimate call until the recent addition of configuration, after
which it is expected that all commands will lookup the correct path in
the configuration file. So fix all these commands to do that.
Also, while touching all of these commands, we fix them to use the
talloc context that is passed in rather than creating a local talloc
context. We also switch from using goto for return values, to doing
direct returns as soon as an error is detected, (which can be leak
free thanks to talloc).
Now that the client sources are alone here in their own directory,
(with all the library sources down inside the lib directory), we can
break the client up into multiple files without mixing the files up.
The hope is that these smaller files will be easier to manage and
maintain.
