It is confusing to use two different names (sexp vs sexpr) when
compared with the command line option --query=sexp and (furthermore)
singular vs plural when compared with the man page title.
The missing docstring causes a blank in the notmuch-help display
[1]. Since the function is a simple wrapper for notmuch-tree, it seems
fair to forward the reader there for more detailed information.

This is a bit different than n_d_{open,create}_with_config, since
there are several non-zero status codes where we do want to return a
non-NULL database structure.
This code previously relied on _finish_open to free the notmuch struct
on errors (except for the case of database == NULL, which was a
potential double free). When we removed those frees from _finish_open,
we introduced a (small) memory leak.
In this commit, fix the memory leak, and harmonize the on-error
behaviour with n_d_open_with_config.
During refactoring for 0.32, the code that set notmuch=NULL on various
errors was moved into _finish_open. This meant that the the code which
relied on that to set *database to NULL on error was no longer
correct. It also introduced a potential double free, since the notmuch
struct was deallocated inside _finish_open (via n_d_destroy).
In this commit we revert to "allocator frees", and leave any cleanup
to the caller of _finish_open. This allows us to get back the
behaviour of setting *database to NULL with a small change. Other
callers of _finish_open will need free notmuch on errors.
The documentation claims that the database will be set to NULL in this
case, but it is currently not happening. Based on a reproducer [1]
from Austin Ray.

This document contains meaningful markup in the terms, which makeinfo
complains about. Replace the use of definition lists with regular
paragraphs containing quote blocks. This is accomplished by splitting
the "term" from the definition with a blank line.
Sphinx-doc already formats the terms appropriately for a given
backend (bold in html and man). `makeinfo` complains noisily about
formatting inside a @item if we add our own explicit formatting.
This change may change the formatting in the info output. On the other
hand, the existing use of quotes for bold is not that great anyway.
In some places blank lines were removed to preserve the logical
structure of a definition list.
This reduces the amount of global state. Furthermore, index options
can be set (in principle) in several ways, not just in the one
function for processing indexing command line options.
There are some enum typedefs with the enum name:
typedef enum _name_t { ... } name_t;
We don't need or use the enum names _name_t for anything, and not all
of the enum typedefs have them. We have the typedefs specifically to
use the typedef name.
Use the anonymous enum in the typedefs:
typedef enum { ... } name_t;

Remove the comment markers from the placeholder NOTMUCH_DEPRECATED(),
added in commit e5f3c3ed50 ("lib: add stub for

In order to make it easier to keep the whitespace consistent in the
configure script, use the same style defined in devel/STYLE for
C/C++.
Specifically, a line should begin with zero or more tabs followed
by fewer than eight spaces.
Presumably this will be no more difficult for people editing configure
than for people editing the C and C++ code.
'check-notmuch-commit' is an updated version of a script I have been
using (although not always as consistently as I should) before sending
patches to the list.
Although it requires a bit more tooling, encouraging people to use
check-notmuch-commit might reduce the number of round trips to the
list for style nitpicks.
As discussed at [1] we have received reports that the implicit check
using cffi.FFI().verify() is not reliable in all environments. Since
we already use pkg-config, and the python dev package should include a
.pc file [2], add an extra check using pkg-config. On at least
Debian, we have to know which version of python dev files with are
looking for, so calculate that first.
