In practice this probably does not make a difference or we would
have heard about it many times, but better be safe than sorry.
Process sentinels are called not only when the process has finished
but also on other state changes.
When running "notmuch" we use its full path but when displaying the
command to the user we show just its name for readability reasons.
Avoid passing around both representations because it is very easy
to get the name from the path.
Notmuch itself uses the involved functions just for "notmuch" but
there might be extensions that use them for other executable so we
forgo other potential simplifications.
The buffer of the error process is accessible using `process-buffer'.
We still have to store the error-buffer in the non-error process
because for that process `process-buffer' obviously returns its own
buffer.
We no longer support Emacs releases before version 25.1.
Also adjust the sentinels which only had to deal with
an error file when using an older Emacs release was used.
These functions are used as action/notify functions. That dictates
the appropriate function signatures but even though these functions
are not used for anything else they use incompatible signatures,
forcing the callers to use lambda expressions to deal with these
incompatibilities.
Fix that by adjusting the function signatures to the needs of the
only intended callers.
Two of these functions were defined as commands but because the
interactive form did not return the mandatory arguments, we know
that nobody (successfully) used these as commands.
In one case we move the location of a y-or-n-p prompt.
Whenever setting background color, set also corresponding
foreground color. Don't expect default foreground color to
be #000 (or something close); user may have changed it.
This reverts commit f9fbd1ee3b.
Emacs provides a mechanism for avoiding wiping out buffer-local
variables: marking them as "permanent local", which essentially
means "don't wip out the local value when enabling major-mode".
(put 'the-variable 'permanent-local t)
See (info "(elisp)Creating Buffer-Local").
Whether refreshing the buffer contents should involve re-enable the
mode is a different question, which should not be decided based on
the fact that we want keep the value of some random variable, not
least because some other (e.g. cache) variables are likely expected
to be wiped.
These were originally committed by git-debrebase. Unfortunately git
debrebase does not seem to like the notmuch git workflow, so giving up
on it for now.
readelf on (at least) ppc64le sometimes generates some extension to
the Ndx name inside '[]'. Remove this output to allow our simple
column based parsing to work.
A typo in Database._create_query lost the exclude_tag names during the
string to utf-8 conversion.
Amended by DB: fixed patch format and updated commit message.
database.cc is uncomfortably large, and some of the static data
structures do not need to be shared as much as they are.
This is a somewhat small piece to factor out, but it will turn out to
be helpful to further refactoring.
It turns out that using nm -P isn't as portable as hoped. In
particular with some ELF ABIs (e.g. ppc64 ELFv1), the desired symbols
end up in the data section instead of text.
The test is currently only functional on ELF based architectures, so I
think it's legit to depend on readelf instead of nm.
The switch to readelf has the advantage that we can explicitely ask
for all of the symbols with global visibility, rather than grepping
for notmuch. That seems a more robust approach since it will catch any
strangely named global symbols.
Under a sufficiently high level of parallelism [1] there seems to be a
a race condition that allows sphinx-build to start running before the
docstrings are extracted. This change moves the docstring stamp from
the phony targets sphinx-html and sphinx-info to the file targets that
they depend on. I'm not sure why this makes things better, but I am
fairly confident it does not make things worse, and experimentally it
seems to eliminate the race condition.

One should never bind unnamed commands in keymaps because doing that
makes it needlessly hard for users to change these bindings.
Replace such anonymous bindings with named commands that are generated
using macros and some boilerplate. Using macros is better than using a
simple loop because that makes it possible for `find-function' to find
the definitions. Eat your boilerplate--it forms character.
Admittedly this approach is quite ugly and it might be better to teach
the original commands to support different buffers directly instead of
requiring wrapper commands to do just that.
Never-the-less as a short-term solution this is better than what we
had before.
Inline a simplified version of `notmuch-documentation-first-line'
into its only caller. The new code snippet differs from the
removed function in that it returns nil instead of the empty string
for symbols that have no function documentation. That value is
ultimately used as an argument to `concat', which treats nil like
the empty string. So we can do the logical thing without changing
the behavior.
Since [1: f8bdba37] no key is bound to this command and it is
redundant because the behavior of `push-command' is identical
when called as a command.

We could just have switched to using `cl-remove-if-not' instead,
but the two uses of the *remove-if-not function are pretty strange
to begin with so we refactor to not use any such function at all.
