This reverses the logic of StandaloneMessage to instead create a
OwnedMessage. Only the Thread class allows retrieving messages more
then once so it can explicitly create such messages.
The added test fails with SIGABRT without the fix for the message
re-use in threads being present.
Any messages retrieved from a query - either directly via
search_messages() or indirectly via thread objects - are owned by that
query. Retrieving the same message (i.e. corresponding to the same
message ID / database object) several times will always yield the same
C object.
The caller is allowed to destroy message objects owned by a query before
the query itself - which can save memory for long-lived queries.
However, that message must then never be retrieved again from that
query.
The python-notmuch2 bindings will currently destroy every message object
in Message._destroy(), which will lead to an invalid free if the same
message is then retrieved again. E.g. the following python program leads
to libtalloc abort()ing:
import notmuch2
db = notmuch2.Database(mode = notmuch2.Database.MODE.READ_ONLY)
t = next(db.threads('*'))
msgs = list(zip(t.toplevel(), t.toplevel()))
msgs = list(zip(t.toplevel(), t.toplevel()))
Fix this issue by creating a subclass of Message, which is used for
"standalone" message which have to be freed by the caller. Message class
is then used only for messages descended from a query, which do not need
to be freed by the caller.
Even though we use collections.abc.Set which implements all these
methods under their operator names, the actual named variations of
these methods are shockingly missing. So let's add them manually.
crypto.gpg_path was only used when we built against gmime versions
before 3.0. Since we now depend on gmime 3.0.3 or later, it is
meaningless.
The removal of the field from the _notmuch_config struct would be an
ABI change if that struct were externally exposed, but it is not, so
it's safe to unilaterally remove it.

Another fix to the docstrings, this time for the English part of the
docstrings, not the Python class name. No functional changes here.

I was supposed to amend the original patch that added this function,
but somehow I botched that. The original version runs, so make an
extra commit for the tidying.
This moves away from the deprecated notmuch_database_add_message API
and instead uses the notmuch_database_index_file API. This means
instroducing a class to manage the index options and bumping the
library version requirement to 5.1.
This add the notmuch version and absolute path of the binary used
in the pytest header. This is nice when running the tests
interactively as you get confirmation you're testing the version you
thought you were testing.
This introduces CFFI-based Python3-only bindings.
The bindings aim at:
- Better performance on pypy
- Easier to use Python-C interface
- More "pythonic"
- The API should not allow invalid operations
- Use native object protocol where possible
- Memory safety; whatever you do from python, it should not coredump.
