The struct used to store the types (rb_data_type_t) contains a "data"
field where we can store whatever we want. I use that field to store a
pointer to the corresponding destroy function. For example
notmuch_rb_database_type contains a pointer to notmuch_database_destroy.
I cast that pointer as a notmuch_status_t (func*)(void *) and call
that function passing the internal object (e.g. notmuch_database_t).
Using the rb_data_type_t data we can call the correct notmuch destroy
function.
Therefore this:
ret = ((notmuch_status_t (*)(void *)) type->data) (nm_object);
Is effectively the same as this:
ret = notmuch_database_destroy (database);
The advantage of doing it this way is that much less code is necesary
since each rb_data_type_t has the corresponding destroy function stored
in it.

This makes the code more maintainable and will help in further patches.
No functional changes.

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.
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.
It has never existed in Ruby (maybe JRuby). Fortunately the symbols are
loaded lazily, so nobody would notice unless they try
'query::count_messages'.

According to the common Ruby function naming convention, potentially
dangerous functions or functions which operate on the object itself are
suffixed with an exclamation mark. Both of these are true for object
destroying functions.
The following modules are affected:
- Notmuch::Directory
- Notmuch::FileNames
- Notmuch::Query
- Notmuch::Threads
- Notmuch::Thread
- Notmuch::Messages
- Notmuch::Message
- Notmuch::Tags
Let the user destroy objects that she wants explicitly.
It's not possible to specify the order objects are garbage collected.
