This function prints diagnostic information in the event of an
error. However, one of the callers has an optional :stdin-string
keyword argument. This causes the error printing routine to error
itself.
Rather than reach notmuch-check-exit-status about the possible keyword
arguments (currently only one but could be more in the future) this
commit just tells notmuch-check-exit-status how to print non-string arguments.
With this GNU Make construct one shell invocation can be skipped
and code looks shorter (narrower). This would now match to .git
being other file type than regular file or directory (or symlink
to those), but that is not a use case anyone should expect users
to do.
This commit makes two changes. The first allows the user to override
an external completion method with the internal notmuch address based
completion for an individual buffer.
Secondly, if the user has company-mode enabled then it sets up company
mode (based on internal completion) but disables the automatic timeout
completion -- the user can still activate it in when desired with
standard company commands such as company-complete.
This commit lets the user customize the address completion. It makes
two changes.
The first change controls whether to build the address completion list
based on messages you have sent or you have received (the latter is
much faster).
The second change add a possible filter query to limit the messages
used -- for example, setting this to date:1y.. would limit the
address completions to addresses used in the last year. This speeds up
the address harvest and may also make the search less cluttered as old
addresses may well no longer be valid.
This signals two things, an intent to be more liberal about accepting
patches, and an intent to stop distributing the bindings if maintenance
doesn't pick up.
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.
gdb sometimes writes warnings to stdout, which we don't need/want, and
for some reason --batch-silent isn't enough to hide. So in this commit
we write them to a log file, which is probably better for debugging
anyway. To see an illustrative test failure before this change, run
% make
% touch notmuch-count.c
% cd test && ./T060-count.sh

The User-Agent: header can be fun and interesting, but it also leaks
quite a bit of information about the user and their software stack.
This represents a potential security risk (attackers can target the
particular stack) and also an anonymity risk (a user trying to
preserve their anonymity by sending mail from a non-associated account
might reveal quite a lot of information if their choice of mail user
agent is exposed).
This change also avoids hiding the User-Agent header by default, so
that people who decide they want to send it will at least see it (and
can edit it if they want to) before sending.
It makes sense to have safer defaults.
Add option to explicitly disable API man page build even if doxygen
binary is available. --without-docs also implies not building API
manpage.
This change intended to add more distinctness into build system and
allow user not to build unwanted man pages.
Previously notmuch-wash made the width of the text (approximately) the
window-width minus the depth in thread. This is correct for the
default indentation of 1 per message depth, but is incorrect for any
other setting of notmuch-show-indent-messages-width.
As notmuch-show-indent-messages-width is customisable, and notmuch-tree
sets it to zero to avoid indenting messages in the message pane, this
bug can show up in real use.
Two of the tests had to be updated: when
notmuch-show-indent-messages-width is 0, then the new (correct) word
wrapping happens later, when notmuch-show-indent-messages-width is 4,
then the new word wrapping happens sooner.
_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.

The two new faces (notmuch-search-flagged-face and
notmuch-search-unread-face) make it easier to find the relevant face by
customizing notmuch-faces. I plan to do the same to the other alists of
faces found elsewhere.
Recently it was suggested on the list that we add a contributor to
AUTHORS. This file has been unmodified for 7 years, and is somewhat out
of date. It would potentially make sense to automagically update this
file during the release process using the output from git shortlog. This
file helps clean up some inconsistencies in author data in the history.
Note: this patch drops -w from the shebang line, but we still have
"use warnings" in the script, which is superior anyhow.
Thanks Andreas Tolfsen for the suggestion.

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));
}
This has been wrong since bbbdf0478e, but the race condition was not
previously been (often?) triggered in the tests. With the DB_RETRY_LOCK
patches, it manifests itself as a deadlock.
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

A few simple things that applies well to test/notmuch-test.sh
- Shell does pathname expansion also without doing `echo ...` in subshell.
- Redirections >/dev/null 2>/dev/null hide (improbable but) potential
serious errors; adding -f to rm instead.
- Inter-file capitalization consistency in comments.
- Unnecesary space removal.
Previously if a marking read tag change (i.e., removing the unread
tag) failed for some reason, such as a locked database, then no more
mark read tag changes would be attempted in that buffer.
This handles the error more gracefully. There is not much we can do
yet about dealing with the error itself, and marking read is probably
not important enough to warrant keeping a queue of pending changes or
anything.
However this commit changes it so that
- we do try and make future mark read tag changes.
- we display the tag state correctly: i.e. we don't display the tag as
deleted (no strike through)
- and since we know the tag change failed we can try to mark this
message read in the future. Indeed, since the code uses the
post-command hook we will try again on the next keypress (unless the
user has left the message).
We indicate to the user that these mark read tag changes may have
failed in the header-line.
The trick of having a common header file doesn't work to share between
test scripts, so make an include file in the test directory.
The use of #include <notmuch-test.h> looks slightly pretentious, but
the include file is not actually in the current (temporary) directory.
Place PYTHONPATH to the environment when python is executed in a way
that current shell environment is not affected. This also allows adding
the old value of PYTHONPATH to the end of the new value (otherwise it
would have been appended again and again when test_python is called).
At the same time, use -B option to avoid writing .pyc files to
bindings/python/* (which are not cleared out by distclean).
Drop the (unused) prefix code which preserved the original stdout of the
python program and opened sys.stdout to OUTPUT. In place of that there
is now note how (debug) information can be printed to original stdout.
Previously LD_LIBRARY_PATH was exported (and environment changed)
in the middle of test case execution, when a function setting it
was called.
Previously the old contents of LD_LIBRARY_PATH was lost (if any)
when it was re-set and exported. In some systems the old contents of
LD_LIBRARY_PATH was needed to e.g. locate suitable gmime library.
Escaping $PWD makes this work in directories like 'foo"bar'...
Cd'ing always makes the working directory to be consistent whether
--body option was used or not (when using emacsclient, but cd'ing
when using emacs does not cause any harm).
Note that documentation of `insert-file` expects programs to
call `insert-file-contents` instead. In our simple case
`insert-file` works better as it does some good checks that we'd
have to implement ourselves. Look lisp/files.el in emacs sources
for more information.
