This will allow transitioning individual subcommands to the new
configuration framework. Eventually when they are all converted we can
remove the notmuch_config_t * argument.
For now, live with the parameter shadowing in some some subcommands;
it will go away when they are converted.
This means dropping GMimeCryptoContext and notmuch_config arguments.
All the argument changes are to internal functions, so this is not an
API or ABI break.
We also get to drop the #define for g_mime_3_unused.

Since message is owned by messages, it was held for the entire run of
the program. This in turn means that the Xapian::Document objects are
not freed, and thus one ends up with (effectively) a copy of one's
entire mailstore in memory when running
notmuch reindex '*'
Thanks to Olly Betts for the patient help debugging, and the
suggestion of a fix.
Correct URLs that have crept into the notmuch codebase with http://
when https:// is possible.
As part of this conversion, this changeset also indicates the current
preferred upstream URLs for both gmime and sup. the new URLs are
https-enabled, the old ones are not.
This also fixes T310-emacs.sh, thanks to Bremner for catching it.
Enable override of the index.try_decrypt setting on a per-run basis
when invoking "notmuch reindex". This allows the possibility of (for
example) an emacs keybinding that adds the cleartext of the currently
shown decrypted message to the index, making it searchable in the
future.
It also enables one-time indexing of all messages matching some query,
like so:
notmuch reindex tag:encrypted and\
not property:index.decryption=success and\
from:alice@example.org
We also update the documentation and tab completion, and add a few
more tests.
Several changes at once, just to not have to change the same lines
several times over:
- Use designated initializers to initialize opt desc arrays.
- Only initialize the needed fields.
- Remove arg_id (short options) as unused.
- Replace opt_type and output_var with several type safe output
variables, where the output variable being non-NULL determines the
type. Introduce checks to ensure only one is set. The downside is
some waste of const space per argument; this could be saved by
retaining opt_type and using a union, but that's still pretty
verbose.
- Fix some variables due to the type safety. Mostly a good thing, but
leads to some enums being changed to ints. This is pedantically
correct, but somewhat annoying. We could also cast, but that defeats
the purpose a bit.
- Terminate the opt desc arrays using {}.
The output variable type safety and the ability to add new fields for
just some output types or arguments are the big wins. For example, if
we wanted to add a variable to set when the argument is present, we
could do so for just the arguments that need it.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I think this looks nice when
defining the arguments, and reduces some of the verbosity we have
there.
There are at least three places in notmuch that can trigger an
indexing action:
* notmuch new
* notmuch insert
* notmuch reindex
I have plans to add some indexing options (e.g. indexing the cleartext
of encrypted parts, external filters, automated property injection)
that should properly be available in all places where indexing
happens.
I also want those indexing options to be exposed by (and constrained
by) the libnotmuch C API.
This isn't yet an API break because we've never made a release with
notmuch_param_t.
These indexing options are relevant in the listed places (and in the
libnotmuch analogues), but they aren't relevant in the other kinds of
functionality that notmuch offers (e.g. dump/restore, tagging, search,
show, reply).
So i think a generic "param" object isn't well-suited for this case.
In particular:
* a param object sounds like it could contain parameters for some
other (non-indexing) operation. This sounds confusing -- why would
i pass non-indexing parameters to a function that only does
indexing?
* bremner suggests online a generic param object would actually be
passed as a list of param objects, argv-style. In this case (at
least in the obvious argv implementation), the params might be some
sort of generic string. This introduces a problem where the API of
the library doesn't grow as new options are added, which means that
when code outside the library tries to use a feature, it first has
to test for it, and have code to handle it not being available.
The indexopts approach proposed here instead makes it clear at
compile time and at dynamic link time that there is an explicit
dependency on that feature, which allows automated tools to keep
track of what's needed and keeps the actual code simple.
My proposal adds the notmuch_indexopts_t as an opaque struct, so that
we can extend the list of options without causing ABI breakage.
The cost of this proposal appears to be that the "boilerplate" API
increases a little bit, with a generic constructor and destructor
function for the indexopts struct.
More patches will follow that make use of this indexopts approach.
