We want to be able to query the properties directly, like:
notmuch count property:foo=bar
which should return a count of messages where the property with key
"foo" has value equal to "bar".
I believe the current one is misleading, because in my experiments
Xapian did not add : when prefix and term were both upper case. Indeed,
it's hard to see how it could, because prefixes are added at a layer
above Xapian in our code. See _notmuch_message_add_term for an example.
Also try to explain why this is a good idea. As far as I can ascertain,
this is more of an issue for a system trying to work with an unknown set
of prefixes. Since notmuch has a fixed set of prefixes, and we can
hopefully be trusted not to add XGOLD and XGOLDEN as prefixes, it is
harder for problems to arise.
_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.
This support will be present only if the appropriate version of xapian
is available _and_ the user did not disable the feature when
building. So there really needs to be some way for the user to check.
Xapian 1.3 has introduced the DB_RETRY_LOCK flag (Xapian bug
275). Detect it in configure and optionally use it. With this flag
commands that need the write lock will wait for their turn instead of
aborting when it's not immediately available.
Amended by db: allow disabling in configure

Although the C99 standard 6.10 is a little non-obvious on this point,
the docs for e.g. gcc are unambiguous. And indeed in practice with the
extra space, this code fails
#include <stdio.h>
#define foo (x) (x+1)
int main(int argc, char **argv){
printf("%d\n",foo(1));
}
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/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.
Since xapian provides the ability to restrict the iterator to a given
prefix, we expose this ability to the user. Otherwise we mimic the other
iterator interfances in notmuch (e.g. tags.c).
This is a thin wrapper around the Xapian metadata API. The job of this
layer is to keep the config key value pairs from colliding with other
metadata by transparently prefixing the keys, along with the usual glue
to provide a C interface.
The split of _get_config into two functions is to allow returning of the
return value with different memory ownership semantics.
To fully complete the ghost-on-removal-when-shared-thread-exists
proposal, we need to clear all ghost messages when the last active
message is removed from a thread.
Amended by db: Remove the last test of T530, as it no longer makes sense
if we are garbage collecting ghost messages.
There is no need to add a ghost message upon deletion if there are no
other active messages in the thread.
Also, if the message being deleted was a ghost already, we can just go
ahead and delete it.
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.
implement ghost-on-removal, the solution to T590-thread-breakage.sh
that just adds a ghost message after removing each message.
It leaks information about whether we've ever seen a given message id,
but it's a fairly simple implementation.
Note that _resolve_message_id_to_thread_id already introduces new
message_ids to the database, so i think just searching for a given
message ID may introduce the same metadata leakage.
The code to skip multiple slashes in _notmuch_database_split_path()
skips back one character too much. This is compensated by a +1 in the
length parameter to the strndup() call. Mostly this works fine, but if
the path is to a file under a top level directory with one character
long name, the directory part is mistaken to be part of the file name
(slash == path in code). The returned directory name will be the empty
string and the basename will be the full path, breaking the indexing
logic in notmuch new.
Fix the multiple slash skipping to keep the slash variable pointing at
the last slash, and adjust strndup() accordingly.

database: Store the parent ID for each directory document.
just a little over two months after the initial commit in the Notmuch
code history, making this the longest living bug in Notmuch to date.
Some compilers (older than gcc 4.5 and clang 2.9) do support
__attribute__ ((deprecated)) but not
__attribute__ ((deprecated("message"))).
Check if clang version is at least 3.0, or gcc version
is at least 4.5 to define NOTMUCH_DEPRECATED as the
latter variant above. Otherwise define NOTMUCH_DEPRECATED
as the former variant above.
For a bit simpler implementation clang 2.9 is not included
to use the newer variant. It is just one release, and the
older one works fine. Clang 3.0 was released around 2011-11
and gcc 5.1 2015-04-22 (therefore newer macro for gcc 4.5+)
We can't (but currently do) allow upgrades within transactions because
upgrades need their own transactions. We don't want to re-use the
current transaction because bailing out of an upgrade would mean loosing
all previous changes (because our "atomic" transactions don't commit
before hand). This gives us two options:
1. Fail at the beginning of upgrade (tell the user to end the
transaction, upgrade, and start over).
2. Don't allow the user to start the transaction.
I went with the latter because:
1. There is no reason to call `begin_atomic` unless you intend to to
write to the database and anyone intending to write to the database
should upgrade it first.
2. This means that nothing inside an atomic transaction can ever fail
with NOTMUCH_STATUS_UPGRADE_REQUIRED.
Per RFC 2183, the values for Content-Disposition values are not
case-sensitive. While at it, use the gmime function for getting at the
disposition string instead of referencing the field directly.
This fixes "attachment" tagging and filename term generation for
attachments while indexing.
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
It doesn't seem likely we can support simple date:<expr> expanding to
date:<expr>..<expr> any time soon. (This can be done with a future
version of Xapian, or with a custom query query parser.) In the mean
time, provide shorthand date:<expr>..! to mean the same. This is
useful, as the expansion takes place before interpetation, and we can
use, for example, date:yesterday..! to match from beginning of
yesterday to end of yesterday.
Idea from Mark Walters <markwalters1009@gmail.com>.
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 exposes the committed database revision to library users along
with a UUID that can be used to detect when revision numbers are no
longer comparable (e.g., because the database has been replaced).
