With this function, and the recently added support for
notmuch_message_get_thread_ids, we now recode the find_thread_ids
function to work just the way we expect a user of the public
notmuch API to work. Not too bad really.
Along with all of the notmuch_thread_ids_t iterator functions.
Using a consistent idiom seems better here rather than returning
a comma-separated string and forcing the user to parse it.
None of these are strictly necessary, (everything was leak-free
without them), but notmuch_message_destroy can actually be useful
for when one query has many message results, but only one is needed
to be live at a time.
The destroy functions for results and tags are fairly gratuitous, as
there's unlikely to be any benefit from calling them. But they're all
easy to add, (all of these functions are just wrappers for talloc_free),
and we do so for consistency and completeness.
This is a fairly big milestone for notmuch. It's our first command
to do anything besides building the index, so it proves we can
actually read valid results out from the index.
It also puts in place almost all of the API and infrastructure we
will need to allow searching of the database.
Finally, with this change we are now using talloc inside of notmuch
which is truly a delight to use. And now that I figured out how
to use C++ objects with talloc allocation, (it requires grotty
parts of C++ such as "placement new" and "explicit destructors"),
we are valgrind-clean for "notmuch dump", (as in "no leaks are
possible").
