Previously body: was a compulsory field in a message. The new
--body=false option causes notmuch show to omit this field so update
schemata to reflect this.
This option allows the caller to suppress the output of the bodies of
the messages. Currently this is only implemented for format=json.
This is used by notmuch-pick.el (although not needed) because it gives
a speed-up of at least a factor of a two (and in some cases a speed up
of more than a factor of 8); moreover it reduces the memory usage in
emacs hugely.
This patch switches from the current ad-hoc printer to the structured
formatters in sprinter.h, sprinter-text.c and sprinter-json.c.
The JSON tests are changed slightly in order to make them PASS for the
new structured output formatter.
The text tests pass without adaptation.
Using the new structured printer support in sprinter.h, implement
sprinter_json_create, which returns a new JSON structured output
formatter. The formatter prints output similar to the existing JSON, but
with differences in whitespace (mostly newlines, --output=summary prints
the entire message summary on one line, not split across multiple lines).
Also implement a "structured" formatter for plain text that prints
prefixed strings, to be used with notmuch-search.c plain text output.
This patch adds a new struct type sprinter_t, which is used for
structured formatting, e.g. JSON or S-Expressions. The structure printer
is heavily based on code from Austin Clements
(id:87d34hsdx8.fsf@awakening.csail.mit.edu).
It includes the following functions:
/* Start a new map/dictionary structure. This should be followed by
* a sequence of alternating calls to map_key and one of the
* value-printing functions until the map is ended by end.
*/
void (*begin_map) (struct sprinter *);
/* Start a new list/array structure.
*/
void (*begin_list) (struct sprinter *);
/* End the last opened list or map structure.
*/
void (*end) (struct sprinter *);
/* Print one string/integer/boolean/null element (possibly inside a
* list or map, followed or preceded by separators).
* For string, the char * must be UTF-8 encoded.
*/
void (*string) (struct sprinter *, const char *);
void (*integer) (struct sprinter *, int);
void (*boolean) (struct sprinter *, notmuch_bool_t);
void (*null) (struct sprinter *);
/* Print the key of a map's key/value pair. The char * must be UTF-8
* encoded.
*/
void (*map_key) (struct sprinter *, const char *);
/* Insert a separator (usually extra whitespace) for improved
* readability without affecting the abstract syntax of the
* structure being printed.
* For JSON, this could simply be a line break.
*/
void (*separator) (struct sprinter *);
/* Set the current string prefix. This only affects the text
* printer, which will print this string, followed by a colon,
* before any string. For other printers, this does nothing.
*/
void (*set_prefix) (struct sprinter *, const char *);
To support the plain text format properly, the following additional
function must also be implemented:
/* Set the current string prefix. This only affects the text
* printer, which will print this string, followed by a colon,
* before any string. For other printers, this does nothing.
*/
void (*set_prefix) (struct sprinter *, const char *);
The structure also contains a flag that should be set to FALSE in all
custom printers and to TRUE in the plain text formatter.
/* True if this is the special-cased plain text printer.
*/
notmuch_bool_t is_text_printer;
The printer can (and should) use internal state to insert delimiters
and syntax at the correct places.
Example:
format->begin_map(format);
format->map_key(format, "foo");
format->begin_list(format);
format->integer(format, 1);
format->integer(format, 2);
format->integer(format, 3);
format->end(format);
format->map_key(format, "bar");
format->begin_map(format);
format->map_key(format, "baaz");
format->string(format, "hello world");
format->end(format);
format->end(format);
would output JSON as follows:
{"foo": [1, 2, 3], "bar": { "baaz": "hello world"}}
At this point, the only remaining functions that don't support
multi-line search result formats are the thread navigation functions.
This patch fixes that by rewriting them in terms of
notmuch-search-result-{beginning,end}.
This changes the behavior of notmuch-search-previous-thread slightly
so that if point isn't at the beginning of a result, it first moves
point to the beginning of the result.
Previously we ignored any notmuch-search-result-format customizations
for tag formatting because we needed to be able to parse back in the
result line and update the tags in place. We no longer do either of
these things, so we can allow customization of this format.
(Coincidentally, previously we still allowed too much customization of
the tags format, since moving it earlier on the line or removing it
from the line would interfere with the tagging mechanism. There is
now no problem with doing such things.)
Since the result object contains everything that the other text
properties recorded, we can remove the other text properties and
simply look in the plist of the appropriate result object.
This simplifies the traversal of regions of results and eliminates the
need for save-excursions (which tend to get in the way of maintaining
point when we make changes to the buffer). It also fixes some strange
corner cases in the old line-based code where results that bordered
the region but were not included in it could be affected by region
commands. Coincidentally, this also essentially enables multi-line
search result formats; the only remaining non-multi-line-capable
functions are notmuch-search-{next,previous}-thread, which are only
used for interactive navigation.
Now that we keep the full thread result object, we can refresh a
result after any changes by simply deleting and reconstructing the
result line from scratch.
A convenient side-effect of this wholesale replacement is that search
now re-applies notmuch-search-line-faces when tags change.
Previously, tag-based search result highlighting was done by creating
an overlay over each search result. However, overlays have annoying
front- and rear-advancement semantics that make it difficult to
manipulate text at their boundaries, which the next patch will do.
They also have performance problems (creating an overlay is linear in
the number of overlays between point and the new overlay, making
highlighting a search buffer quadratic in the number of results).
Text properties have neither problem. However, text properties make
it more difficult to apply multiple faces since, unlike with overlays,
a given character can only have a single 'face text property. Hence,
we introduce a utility function that combines faces into any existing
'face text properties.
Using this utility function, it's straightforward to apply all of the
appropriate tag faces in notmuch-search-color-line.
notmuch-message-mark-replied used "apply" to change message tags
according to notmuch-message-replied-tags after sending a reply. This
works if the latter is a single-element list. But with the recently
changed format of tag changes, it breaks for multiple-element lists.
Use "funcall" to properly pass the list of tag changes as a single
argument.
The JSON format eliminates the complex escaping issues that have
plagued the text search format. This uses the incremental JSON parser
so that, like the text parser, it can output search results
incrementally.
This slows down the parser by about ~4X, but puts us in a good
position to optimize either by improving the JSON parser (evidence
suggests this can reduce the overhead to ~40% over the text format) or
by switching to S-expressions (evidence suggests this will more than
double performance over the text parser). [1]
This also fixes the incremental search parsing test.
This has one minor side-effect on search result formatting.
Previously, the date field was always padded to a fixed width of 12
characters because of how the text parser's regexp was written. The
JSON format doesn't do this. We could pad it out in Emacs before
formatting it, but, since all of the other fields are variable width,
we instead fix notmuch-search-result-format to take the variable-width
field and pad it out. For users who have customized this variable,
we'll mention in the NEWS how to fix this slight format change.

This parser is designed to read streaming JSON whose structure is
known to the caller. Like a typical JSON parsing interface, it
provides a function to read a complete JSON value from the input.
However, it extends this with an additional function that
requires the next value in the input to be a compound value and
descends into it, allowing its elements to be read one at a time
or further descended into. Both functions can return 'retry to
indicate that not enough input is available.
The parser supports efficient partial parsing, so there's no need to
frame the input for correctness or performance.
The bulk of the parsing is still done by Emacs' json.el, so any
improvements or optimizations to that will benefit the incremental
parser as well.
Currently only descending into JSON lists is supported because that's
all we need, but support for descending into JSON objects can be added
in the future.
This advises the search process filter to make it process one
character at a time in order to test the pessimal case for incremental
search output parsing.
The text parser fails this test because it gets tricked into thinking
a parenthetical remark in a subject is the tag list.
Rather than passing lots of arguments and then further passing those
to `notmuch-search-insert-field', pass a plist containing all of the
search result information. This plist is compatible with the JSON
format search results.
This is a simpler place to do this, since we can avoid any point
motion and hence any save-excursions in
`notmuch-search-process-filter', which in turn lets us put all of the
search-target logic outside of any save-excursions.
`notmuch-search-show-{result,error}' are now responsible for their own
point motion.
`notmuch-search-process-filter' could use some reindentation after
this, but we're about to rewrite it entirely, so we won't bother.
This removes the last bit of direct output from the parsing function.
With the parser now responsible solely for parsing, we can swap it out
for another parser.
Previously, much of the display of search lines was done in the same
function that parsed the CLI's output. Now the parsing function only
parses, and notmuch-search-show-result fully inserts the search result
in the search buffer.
The initial nmbug-status was pretty consistent in it's whitespacing
but a few lines had some leftover slips. Those are now "corrected".
Also, most of the code used ' as quoting char. As in Python one can
use ' and " interchangeably some code used " instead of '. However
the usage of those were inconsistent. Now all quotes that python
parses are ':s (only quoted content uses ":s).
No functional changes.
In reformatting the line 111 accidentally indented to one indentation
level too much (happens easily when interactively indenting python
code using emacs). The line now has 4 spacess less indentation, thus
restoring it to the block level it belongs.
This is (almost) the same script as has been used for
http://nmbug.tethera.net/status for a while now. The only change is
that the configuration is not hardcoded anymore. By default the config
is fetched from a special branch in the nmbug repo that contains only
config info. The idea is that push access to this branch can be
restricted a bit more than the tags, since it will change the
appearence of the web pages.
The NAME section in manpages generally doesn't start with capital
letter (unless the word is 'proper noun') and doesn't end with
period. Notmuch manual pages now matches that "format".
There didn't seem to be these basic tests for --format=text,
as there are for --format=json. These are just the tests from
the `json' script, with adjusted expected outputs.
In id:"87sjdm12d1.fsf@awakening.csail.mit.edu" Austin pointed out that
devel/schemata needs a slight correction with the new
--entire-thread=false option. This is that correction.
This introduces a variable to control after how many characters a line
is wrapped by notmuch-wash-wrap-long-lines (still wrapping at the
window width if it is lower).
Previously the elide messages code got the entire-thread from
notmuch-show.c and then threw away all non-matching messages. This
version calls notmuch-show.c without the --entire-thread flag so
it never receives the non-matching messages in the first place.
This makes it substantially faster.
The --entire-thread option in notmuch-show.c defaults to true when
format=json. Previously there was no way to turn this off. This patch
makes it respect --entire-thread=false.
To do this the patch moves the --entire-thread option to be a keyword
option using the new command line parsing to allow the existing
--entire-thread to keep working.
All formats except Json can output empty messages for non
entire-thread, but in Json format we output "null" to keep the other
elements (e.g. the replies to the omitted message) in the correct
place.
This changes the parsing for "keyword" options so that if the option
is specified with no argument the argument is parsed as if it were
passed an empty string. This make it easier to add options to existing
boolean arguments (the existing --option can default to TRUE).
Some C compilers are stricter when it comes to (tentative) definition
of a variable -- in those compilers introducing variable without 'extern'
keyword always allocates new 'storage' to the variable and linking all
these modules fails due to duplicate symbols.

Previously, the timestamp at the beginning of the FCC unique maildir
name was derived incorrectly, thanks to an integer overflow. This
changes the derivation of timestamp to use a float, and so will get
the number correct at least until 2038. (It is still formatted with
"%d" so it will show up as an integer.) Should we need to change it in
the next 26 years to take the unix millenium into account, it will be
invisible to users.
This change is mostly a question of consistency, since the unique name
is arbitrary anyway. But since most people use timestamps, and that was
the original intention here as well, we might as well.

Previously, notmuch new only synchronized maildir flags to tags for
files with a maildir "info" part. Since messages in new/ don't have
an info part, notmuch would ignore them for flag-to-tag
synchronization.
This patch makes notmuch consider messages in new/ to be legitimate
maildir messages that simply have no maildir flags set. The most
visible effect of this is that such messages now automatically get the
unread tag.
Previously, we synchronized flags to tags for any message that looked
like it had maildir flags in its file name, regardless of whether it
was in a maildir-like directory structure. This was asymmetric with
tag-to-flag synchronization, which only applied to messages in
directories named new/ and cur/ (introduced by 95dd5fe5).
This change makes our interpretation stricter and addresses this
asymmetry by only synchronizing flags to tags for messages in
directories named new/ or cur/. It also prepares us to treat messages
in new/ as maildir messages, even though they lack maildir flags.
This way notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags can call it. It makes
more sense for this to be just above all of the maildir
synchronization code rather than mixed in the middle.
