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.
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.

_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.
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.
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.
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
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.
This is not supposed to change any functionality from an end user
point of view. Note that it will eliminate some output to stderr. The
query debugging output is left as is; it doesn't really fit with the
current primitive logging model. The remaining "bad" fprintf will need
an internal API change.
The default is actually exact if no checkatleast parameter is
specified. This change makes that explicit, mainly for documentation,
but also to be safe in the unlikely event of a change of default.

This at least allows distinguishing between out of memory and Xapian
exceptions. Adding finer grained status codes would allow different
Xapian exceptions to be preserved.
Adding wrappers allows people to transition gradually to the new API,
at the cost of bloating the library API a bit.
The queries don't really work after a database is closed, and we would
like them to be freed if the database is destroyed.

Add NOTMUCH_EXCLUDE_FLAG to notmuch_exclude_t so that it can
cover all four values of search --exclude in the cli.
Previously the way to avoid any message being marked excluded was to
pass in an empty list of excluded tags: since we now have an explicit
option we might as well honour it.
The enum is in a slightly strange order as the existing FALSE/TRUE
options correspond to the new
NOTMUCH_EXCLUDE_FLAG/NOTMUCH_EXCLUDE_TRUE options so this means we do
not need to bump the version number.
Indeed, an example of this is that the cli count and show still use
FALSE/TRUE and still work.
Using char instead of int allows for simpler definitions of the
DOCIDSET macros so the code is easier to understand and consistent with
respect to memory-usage. Estimated reduction of memory-usage for
bitmap about 8 times.
When the exclude tags contain a tag that does not occur anywhere in
the Xapian database the exclusion fails. We modify the way the query
is constructed to `work around' this. (In fact the new code is cleaner
anyway.)
It also seems to fix another exclusion failure bug reported by
jrollins but we have not yet worked out why it helps in that case.
Allow query debugging to be enabled at run-time by setting the
NOTMUCH_DEBUG_QUERY environment variable to a non-empty string.
Previously, enabling query debugging required recompiling, but parsed
queries are often useful for tracking down bugs in situations where
recompiling is inconvenient.
Add the NOTMUCH_MESSAGE_FLAG_EXCLUDED flag to
notmuch_query_search_threads. Implemented by inspecting the tags
directly in _notmuch_thread_create/_thread_add_message rather than as
a Xapian query for speed reasons.
Note notmuch_thread_get_matched_messages now returns the number of
non-excluded matching messages. This API is not totally desirable but
fixing it means breaking binary compatibility so we delay that.
Add a flag NOTMUCH_MESSAGE_FLAG_EXCLUDED which is set by
notmuch_query_search_messages for excluded messages. Also add an
option omit_excluded_messages to the search that we do not want the
excludes at all.
This exclude flag will be added to notmuch_query_search threads in the
next patch.
This is useful for tags like "deleted" and "spam" that people
generally want to exclude from query results. These exclusions will
be overridden if a tag is explicitly mentioned in a query.
Add function notmuch_query_count_threads() to get the number of threads
matching a search. This is done by performing a search and figuring out the
number of unique thread IDs in the matching messages, a significantly
heavier operation than notmuch_query_count_messages().

As of gcc 4.6, there are new warnings from -Wattributes along the lines of:
warning: ‘_notmuch_messages’ declared with greater visibility
than the type of its field ‘_notmuch_messages::iterator’
[-Wattributes]
To squelch these, we decorate all such containing structs with
__attribute__((visibility("default"))). We take care to let only the
C++ compiler see this, (since the C compiler would otherwise warn
about ignored visibility attributes on types).
Don't require the caller of _notmuch_doc_id_set_init to pass in a
correct bound; instead compute it from the array. This simplifies the
caller and makes this interface easier to use correctly.
Remove the repeated "sizeof (doc_ids->bitmap[0])" that bothered cworth
by instead defining macros to compute the word and bit offset of a
given bit in the doc ID set bitmap.
This reduces thread search's 1+2t Xapian queries (where t is the
number of matched threads) to 1+t queries and constructs exactly one
notmuch_message_t for each message instead of 2 to 3.
notmuch_query_search_threads eagerly fetches the docids of all
messages matching the user query instead of lazily constructing
message objects and fetching thread ID's from term lists.
_notmuch_thread_create takes a seed docid and the set of all matched
docids and uses a single Xapian query to expand this docid to its
containing thread, using the matched docid set to determine which
messages in the thread match the user query instead of using a second
Xapian query.
This reduces the amount of time required to load my inbox from 4.523
seconds to 3.025 seconds (1.5X faster).
Previously, if the underlying search_messages hit an exception and returned
NULL, this function would ignore that and return a non-NULL, (but empty)
threads object. Fix this to properly propagate the error.
Previously, we always sorted the returned results by some string value,
(newest-to-oldest by default), however in some cases (as when applying
tags to a search result) we are not interested in any special order.
This introduces a NOTMUCH_SORT_UNSORTED value that does just that. It is
not used at the moment anywhere in the code.

At the moment all threads are named based on the name of the first message
in the thread. However, this can cause problems if people either start
new threads by replying-all (as unfortunately, many out there do) or
change the subject of their mails to reflect a shift in a thread on a
list.
This patch names threads based on (a) matches for the query, and (b) the
search order. If the search order is oldest-first (as in the default
inbox) it chooses the oldest matching message as the subject. If the
search order is newest-first it chooses the newest one.
Reply prefixes ("Re: ", "Aw: ", "Sv: ", "Vs: ") are ignored
(case-insensitively) so a Re: won't change the subject.
Note that this adds a "sort" argument to _notmuch_thread_create and
_thread_add_matched_message, so that when constructing the thread we can
be aware of the sort order.

This seems like a generally useful thing to support, (but the previous
support through an empty string was not convenient for some users,
(such as the command-line client).
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'.
All notmuch searches currently sort by value (either date or message
ID) so it's just wasted effort for Xapian to compute relevance values
for each result. We now explicitly tell Xapian that we're uninterested
in the relevance values.
If Xapian threw an exception on notmuch_query_count_messages the count
variable could be used uninitialized. Initialize count to solve the
problem.

Xapian provides an interator-based interface to all search results.
So it was natural to make notmuch_messages_t be iterator-based as
well. Which we did originally.
But we ran into a problem when we added two APIs, (_get_replies and
_get_toplevel_messages), that want to return a messages iterator
that's *not* based on a Xapian search result. My original compromise
was to use notmuch_message_list_t as the basis for all returned
messages iterators in the public interface.
This had the problem of introducing extra latency at the beginning
of a search for messages, (the call would block while iterating over
all results from Xapian, converting to a message list).
In this commit, we remove that initial conversion and instead provide
two alternate implementations of notmuch_messages_t (one on top of a
Xapian iterator and one on top of a message list).
With this change, I tested a "notmuch search" returning *many* results
as previously taking about 7 seconds before results started appearing,
and now taking only 2 seconds.
Previously, notmuch_query_search_threads would do all the work, so the
caller would block until all results were processed. Now, we do the
work as we go, as the caller iterates with notmuch_threads_next. This
means that once results start coming back from "notmuch search" they
just keep continually streaming.
There's still some initial blocking before the first results appear
because the notmuch_messages_t object has the same bug (for now).
This was a poor workaround around the fact that the existing
notmuch_threads_t object is implemented poorly. It's got a fine
iterartor-based interface, but the implementation does all of the
work up-front in _create rather than doing the work incrementally
while iterating.
So to start fixing this, first get rid of all the hacks we had working
around this. This drops the --first and --max-threads options from the
search command, (but hopefully nobody was using them
anyway---notmuch.el certainly wasn't).
