Since Xapian does not preserve quotes when passing the subquery to a
field processor, we have to make a guess as to what the user
intended. Here the added assumption is that a string surrounded by
parens is not intended to be a phrase.
This changes makes the sexp query parser consistent with the infix one
in ignoring trailing '/'. Here we do a bit better and ignore any
number of trailing '/'.
This resolves an old bug reported by David Edmondson in 2014. The fix
is only needed for the "boolean" case, as probabilistic / phrase
searching already ignores punctuation.
This fix is only for the infix (xapian provided) query parser.

The default argument processing overlaps somewhat with what is already
done in _notmuch_date_strings_to_query, but we can give more specific
error messages for the s-expression context.
The extra generality of _sexp_parse_range will be useful when we
implement additional range prefixes (at least 'lastmod' is needed).
Commit [0] left the stemmer object accessible, but did not add
de-allocation code to notmuch_database_destroy. This commit corrects
that oversight.
Leak originally reported by Austin Ray [1].

In [1] Austin Ray reported some memory leaks in
notmuch_database_open. One of those leaks is caused by jumping to the
next key without freeing val. This change avoids that leak.

If we know the configuration is split, but there is no mail root
defined, this indicates a (lack of) configuration error. Currently
this can only arise in XDG configurations.
The extra talloc struct "local" was left over from before the notmuch
struct was allocated earlier. Having the notmuch struct available in
this function will allow more flexibility to track the configuration
variations (e.g. split vs. non-split).
It makes perfect sense for users to want to pre-create .notmuch,
e.g. to install hooks, so we should handle the case of a .notmuch
directory without an actual xapian database more gracefully.
Unlike the previous g_key_file_get_value, this version processes
escape codes for whitespace and \. The remaining two broken tests from
the last commit are because "notmuch config get" treats every value as
a list, and thus the previously introduces stripping of leading
whitespace applies.
If the user passed a path, and we opened it, then we consider that
definitive definition of "database.path". This makes libnotmuch
respond more gracefully to certain erroneous combinations of
NOTMUCH_CONFIG settings and config file contents.
It is confusing to use two different names (sexp vs sexpr) when
compared with the command line option --query=sexp and (furthermore)
singular vs plural when compared with the man page title.
This is a bit different than n_d_{open,create}_with_config, since
there are several non-zero status codes where we do want to return a
non-NULL database structure.
This code previously relied on _finish_open to free the notmuch struct
on errors (except for the case of database == NULL, which was a
potential double free). When we removed those frees from _finish_open,
we introduced a (small) memory leak.
In this commit, fix the memory leak, and harmonize the on-error
behaviour with n_d_open_with_config.
During refactoring for 0.32, the code that set notmuch=NULL on various
errors was moved into _finish_open. This meant that the the code which
relied on that to set *database to NULL on error was no longer
correct. It also introduced a potential double free, since the notmuch
struct was deallocated inside _finish_open (via n_d_destroy).
In this commit we revert to "allocator frees", and leave any cleanup
to the caller of _finish_open. This allows us to get back the
behaviour of setting *database to NULL with a small change. Other
callers of _finish_open will need free notmuch on errors.
There are some enum typedefs with the enum name:
typedef enum _name_t { ... } name_t;
We don't need or use the enum names _name_t for anything, and not all
of the enum typedefs have them. We have the typedefs specifically to
use the typedef name.
Use the anonymous enum in the typedefs:
typedef enum { ... } name_t;
Remove the comment markers from the placeholder NOTMUCH_DEPRECATED(),
added in commit e5f3c3ed50 ("lib: add stub for
notmuch_database_open_with_config").
As discussed in the thread starting at [1], the fully qualified domain
name is a bit tricky to get reproducibly, might reveal information
people prefer to keep private, and somewhat unlikely to provide
reliable mail routing.
The new approach of $current_username@localhost is better for the
first two considerations, and probably at least as good as a test mail
address.

Macros implement lazy evaluation and lexical scope. The former is
needed to make certain natural constructs work sensibly (e.g. (tag
,param)) but the latter is mainly future-proofing in case the DSL is
is extended to allow local bindings.
For technical background, see chapters 6 and 17 of [1] (or some other
intermediate programming languages textbook).

It turns out there is not really much code in query-fp.cc useful for
supporting the new syntax. The code we could potentially factor out
amounts to calling notmuch_database_get_config; both the key
construction and the parsing of the results are specific to the query
syntax involved.
This provides functionality analogous to query: in the Xapian
QueryParser based parser. Perhaps counterintuitively, the saved
queries currently have to be in the original query syntax (i.e. not
s-expressions).
One subtle aspect is the replacement of _find_prefix with
_notmuch_database_prefix, which understands user headers. Otherwise
the code mainly consists of creating a fake prefix record (since the
user prefixes are not in the prefix table) and error handling.
This is necessary so that programs can take infix syntax queries from
a user and use the sexp query syntax to construct e.g. a refinement of
that query.
It will be convenient not to have to construct a notmuch query object
when parsing subqueries, so the commit rewrites the query
expansion (currently only used for thread:{} queries) using only
Xapian. As a bonus it seems about 15% faster in initial experiments.
When dealing with recursive queries (i.e. thread:{foo}) it turns out
to be useful just to deal with the underlying Xapian objects, and not
wrap them in notmuch objects.
The previous code had the somewhat bizarre effect that the (notmuch
specific) query string was "*" (interpreted as MatchAll) and the
allegedly parsed xapian_query was "MatchNothing".
This commit also reduces code duplication.
At least to the degree that the Xapian QueryParser based parser
also supports them. Support short alias 'rx' as it seems to make more
complex queries nicer to read.
