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).
This adds a new document value that stores the revision of the last
modification to message metadata, where the revision number increases
monotonically with each database commit.
An alternative would be to store the wall-clock time of the last
modification of each message. In principle this is simpler and has
the advantage that any process can determine the current timestamp
without support from libnotmuch. However, even assuming a computer's
clock never goes backward and ignoring clock skew in networked
environments, this has a fatal flaw. Xapian uses (optimistic)
snapshot isolation, which means reads can be concurrent with writes.
Given this, consider the following time line with a write and two read
transactions:
write |-X-A--------------|
read 1 |---B---|
read 2 |---|
The write transaction modifies message X and records the wall-clock
time of the modification at A. The writer hangs around for a while
and later commits its change. Read 1 is concurrent with the write, so
it doesn't see the change to X. It does some query and records the
wall-clock time of its results at B. Transaction read 2 later starts
after the write commits and queries for changes since wall-clock time
B (say the reads are performing an incremental backup). Even though
read 1 could not see the change to X, read 2 is told (correctly) that
X has not changed since B, the time of the last read. In fact, X
changed before wall-clock time A, but the change was not visible until
*after* wall-clock time B, so read 2 misses the change to X.
This is tricky to solve in full-blown snapshot isolation, but because
Xapian serializes writes, we can use a simple, monotonically
increasing database revision number. Furthermore, maintaining this
revision number requires no more IO than a wall-clock time solution
because Xapian already maintains statistics on the upper (and lower)
bound of each value stream.
- Make lib/notmuch.h the canonical location for the library versioning
information.
- Since the release-check should never fail now, remove it to reduce
complexity.
- Make the version numbers in notmuch.h consistent with the (now
deleted) ones in lib/Makefile.local
The CLI (and bindings) code should really be updated to use the new
status-code-returning versions. Here are some warnings to prod us (and
other clients) to do so.
Previously, we updated the database copy of a message on every call to
_notmuch_message_sync, even if nothing had changed. In particular,
this always happens on a thaw, so a freeze/thaw pair with no
modifications between still caused a database update.
We only modify message documents in a handful of places, so keep track
of whether the document has been modified and only sync it when
necessary. This will be particularly important when we add message
revision tracking.
It turns out that on certain systems like FreeBSD, c++filt is not
installed by default. It's basically OK if we fail the build in that
case, but what's really not OK is for the build to continue and
generate bad binaries.
There are many places in the notmuch code where the path is assumed to be absolute. If someone (TM) wants a project, one could remove these assumptions. In the mean time, prevent users from shooting themselves in the foot.
Update test suite mark tests for this error as no longer broken, and
also convert some tests that used relative paths for nonexistent
directories.
The difference with FILE_ERROR is that this is for things that are
wrong with the path before looking at the disk.
Add some 3 tests; two broken as a reminder to actually use this new
code.
You may wonder why _notmuch_message_file_open_ctx has two parameters.
This is because we need sometime to use a ctx which is a
notmuch_message_t. While we could get the database from this, there is
no easy way in C to tell type we are getting.
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 compatibility wrapper ensures that clients calling
notmuch_database_open will receive consistent output for now.
The changes to notmuch-{new,search} and test/symbol-test are just to
make the test suite pass.
The use of IGNORE_RESULT is justified by two things. 1) I don't know
what else to do. 2) asprintf guarantees the output string is NULL if
an error occurs, so at least we are not passing garbage back.
