Previously, we invalidated stored message metadata in
_notmuch_message_add_term and _notmuch_message_remove_term, but not in
_notmuch_message_gen_terms. This doesn't currently result in any bugs
because of our limited uses of _notmuch_message_gen_terms, but it may
could cause trouble in the future.
As noted in devel/STYLE, every private library function should start
with _notmuch. This patch corrects function naming that did not adhere
to this style in lib/notmuch-private.h. In particular, the old function
names that now begin with _notmuch are
notmuch_sha1_of_file
notmuch_sha1_of_string
notmuch_message_file_close
notmuch_message_file_get_header
notmuch_message_file_open
notmuch_message_get_author

notmuch_database_close may fail in Xapian ->flush() or ->close(), so
report the status. Similarly for notmuch_database_destroy which calls
close.
This is required for notmuch insert to report error status if message
indexing failed.
This adds a 100 termpos gap between all phrases indexed by
_notmuch_message_gen_terms. This fixes a bug where terms from the end
of one header and the beginning of another header could match together
in a single phrase and a separate bug where term positions of
un-prefixed terms overlapped.
This fix only affects newly indexed messages. Messages that are
already indexed won't benefit from this fix without re-indexing, but
the fix won't make things any worse for existing messages.
Previously, we indexed the name and address parts of from/to headers
with two calls to _notmuch_message_gen_terms. In general, this
indicates that these parts are separate phrases. However, because of
an implementation quirk, the two calls to _notmuch_message_gen_terms
generated adjacent term positions for the prefixed terms, which
happens to be the right thing to do in this case, but the wrong thing
to do for all other calls. Furthermore, _notmuch_message_gen_terms
produced potentially overlapping term positions for the un-prefixed
copies of the terms, which is simply wrong.
This change indexes both the name and address in a single call to
_notmuch_message_gen_terms, indicating that they should be part of a
single phrase. This masks the problem with the un-prefixed terms
(fixing the two known-broken tests) and puts us in a position to fix
the unintentionally phrases generated by other calls to
_notmuch_message_gen_terms.
This is effectively a revert of

lib: drop support for single-message mbox files
The intention was to drop support for indexing new single-message mbox
files (and whether that was a good idea in the first place is
arguable). However this inadvertently broke support for reading
headers from previously indexed single-message mbox files, which is
far worse.
Distinguishing between the two cases would require more code than
simply bringing back support for single-message mbox files.
The notmuch library includes a full blown message header parser. Yet
the same message headers are parsed by gmime during indexing. Switch
to gmime parsing completely.
These are the main changes:
* Gmime stops header parsing at the first invalid header, and presumes
the message body starts from there. The current parser is quite
liberal in accepting broken headers. The change means we will be
much pickier about accepting invalid messages.
* The current parser converts tabs used in header folding to
spaces. Gmime preserve the tabs. Due to a broken python library used
in mailman, there are plenty of mailing lists that produce headers
with tabs in header folding, and we'll see plenty of tabs. (This
change has been mitigated in preparatory patches.)
* For pure header parsing, the current parser is likely faster than
gmime, which parses the whole message rather than just the
headers. Since we parse the message and its headers using gmime for
indexing anyway, this avoids and extra header parsing round when
adding new messages. In case of duplicate messages, we'll end up
parsing the full message although just headers would be
sufficient. All in all this should still speed up 'notmuch new'.
* Calls to notmuch_message_get_header() may be slightly slower than
previously for headers that are not indexed in the database, due to
parsing of the whole message. Within the notmuch code base, notmuch
reply is the only such user.
We've supported mbox files containing a single message for historical
reasons, but the support has been deprecated, with a warning message
while indexing, since Notmuch 0.15. Finally drop the support, and
consider all mbox files non-email.
In xapian terms, convert folder: prefix from probabilistic to boolean
prefix, matching the paths, relative from the maildir root, of the
message files, ignoring the maildir new and cur leaf directories.
folder:foo matches all message files in foo, foo/new, and foo/cur.
folder:foo/new does *not* match message files in foo/new.
folder:"" matches all message files in the top level maildir and its
new and cur subdirectories.
This change constitutes a database change: bump the database version
and add database upgrade support for folder: terms. The upgrade also
adds path: terms.
Finally, fix the folder search test for literal folder: search, as
some of the folder: matching capabilities are lost in the
probabilistic to boolean prefix change.
The path: prefix is a literal boolean prefix matching the paths,
relative from the maildir root, of the message files.
path:foo matches all message files in foo (but not in foo/new or
foo/cur).
path:foo/new matches all message files in foo/new.
path:"" matches all message files in the top level maildir.
path:foo/** matches all message files in foo and recursively in all
subdirectories of foo.
path:** matches all message files recursively, i.e. all messages.
Clarify that using the directory after destroying the corresponding
database is not permitted.
This is implicit in the description of notmuch_database_destroy, but
it doesn't hurt to be explicit, and we do express similar "ownership"
relationships at other places in the docs.
Currently if a Xapian exception happens in notmuch_message_get_header,
the exception is not caught leading to crash. In
notmuch_message_get_date the exception is caught, but an internal error
is raised, again leading to crash.
This patch fixes the error handling by making both functions catch the
Xapian exceptions, print an error and return NULL or 0.
The 'notmuch->exception_reported' is also set, as is done elsewhere,
even if I don't really get the idea of that field.

With some combination of clang and talloc, not using the return value
of talloc_steal() produces a warning. Ignore it, as talloc_steal() has
no failure modes per documentation.
This version of the library introduces LIBNOTMUCH_CHECK_VERSION and
the *_VERSION macros. Bumping the version number is also necessary to
make the comment on LIBNOTMUCH_CHECK_VERSION no longer a lie.
This makes it clear that these macros refer to the *library* version,
and not to the notmuch application-level release. Since there are no
consumers of these macros yet, this is now or never.
We have two distinct "library version" numbers: the soname version and
the version macros. We need both for different reasons: the version
macros enable easy compile-time version detection (and conditional
compilation), while the soname version enables runtime version
detection (which includes the version checking done by things like the
Python bindings).
However, currently, these two version numbers are different, which is
unnecessary and can lead to confusion (especially in things like
Debian, which include the soname version in the package name). This
patch makes them the same by bumping the version macros up to agree
with the soname version.
(We should probably keep the version number in just one place so they
can't get out of sync, but that can be done in another patch.)
Unfortunately old versions of GCC and clang do not provide byte order
macros, so we re-invent them.
If UTIL_BYTE_ORDER is not defined or defined to 0, we fall back to
macros supported by recent versions of GCC and clang
Previously PLATFORM_BYTE_ORDER and IS_LITTLE_ENDIAN were not defined,
so the little endian code was always compiled in.
This will have the effect that the "SHA1s" on big endian architectures
will change (i.e. become actual sha1s). So someone re-indexing their
database could conceivable lose tags on messages without a message-id
header.
In case previous notmuch compact has been interrupted there is old
work-in-progress database compact directory partially filled. Remove
it just before starting to fill the directory with new files.
It is less error prone and window of failure opportunity is smaller
if the old (backup) database is always renamed (instead of sometimes
rmtree'd) before new (compacted) database is put into its place.
Finally rmtree() old database in case old database backup is not kept.
catch Xapian::Error in compact code in lib/database.cc to be consistent
with other code in addition to not making software crash on uncaught
other Xapian error.
There have been some plans for making build incompatible changes to
the library API. This is inconvenient, but it is much more so without
a way to easily conditional build against multiple versions of
notmuch.
The macro has been lifted from glib.
The extra path component added by the lib is a magic value that the
caller just has to know. This is demonstrated by the current code,
which indeed has "xapian.old" both sides of the interface. Use the
backup path provided by the lib caller verbatim, without adding
anything to it.
The queries don't really work after a database is closed, and we would
like them to be freed if the database is destroyed.

notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags() unconditionally moves messages from
maildir directory "new/" to maildir directory "cur/", which makes messages lose
their "new" status in the MUA. However some users want to keep this "new"
status after, for instance, an auto-tagging of new messages.
However, as Austin mentioned and according to the maildir specification,
messages living in "new/" are not allowed to have flags, even if mutt allows it
to happen. For this reason, this patch prevents moving messages from "new/" to
"cur/", only if no flags have to be changed. It's hopefully enough to satisfy
mutt (and maybe other MUAs showing the "new" status) users checking the "new"
status.

lib: Add support for automatically excluding tags from queries
changed visibility of struct _notmuch_string_list for the same reason, and
commit 1a53f9f116
Author: Mark Walters <markwalters1009@gmail.com>
Date: Thu Mar 1 22:30:38 2012 +0000
lib: Add the exclude flag to notmuch_query_search_threads
split the struct _notmuch_string_list and its typedef
notmuch_string_list_t as a way to make a forward declaration for
_notmuch_thread_create().
The subtle difference was that the struct definition now had 'visible'
in it, while the typedef didn't, and it was within the #pragma GCC
visibility push(hidden) block. This went unnoticed, as the then common
versions of clang didn't care about this.
A later change in clang (I did not dig into when this change was
introduced) caused the following error:
CXX -O2 lib/database.o
In file included from lib/database.cc:21:
In file included from ./lib/database-private.h:33:

^
./lib/notmuch-private.h:52:13: note: previous attribute is here
^
1 error generated.
make: *** [lib/database.o] Error 1
This is slightly misleading due to the reference to the #pragma. The
real culprit is the typedef within the #pragma.
We could just add 'visible' to the typedef, or move the typedef
outside of the #pragma, and be done with it, but juggle the
declarations a bit to accommodate moving the typedef back with the
struct, and keep the visibility attribute in one place.
The problem was originally reported by Simonas Kazlauskas
<s@kazlauskas.me> in id:20130418102507.GA23688@godbox but I was only
able to reproduce and investigate now that I upgraded clang.
notmuch_message_get_header started returning some headers straight
from the database in 567bcbc, but this comment explicitly claimed all
headers were read from the message file.
Add NOTMUCH_EXCLUDE_FLAG to notmuch_exclude_t so that it can
cover all four values of search --exclude in the cli.
Previously the way to avoid any message being marked excluded was to
pass in an empty list of excluded tags: since we now have an explicit
option we might as well honour it.
The enum is in a slightly strange order as the existing FALSE/TRUE
options correspond to the new
NOTMUCH_EXCLUDE_FLAG/NOTMUCH_EXCLUDE_TRUE options so this means we do
not need to bump the version number.
Indeed, an example of this is that the cli count and show still use
FALSE/TRUE and still work.
Presently, the code which finds the parent of a message as it is being
added to the database assumes that the first Message-ID-like substring
of the In-Reply-To header is the parent Message ID. Some mail clients,
however, put stuff other than the Message-ID of the parent in the
In-Reply-To header, such as the email address of the sender of the
parent. This can fool notmuch.
The updated algorithm prefers the last Message ID in the References
header. The References header lists messages oldest-first, so the last
Message ID is the parent (RFC2822, p. 24). The References header is
also less likely to be in a non-standard
syntax (http://cr.yp.to/immhf/thread.html,
http://www.jwz.org/doc/threading.html). In case the References header
is not to be found, fall back to the old behavior.

Austin.

Notmuch automatically re-orders names of the format "Last, First" to
"First Last" when the associated email address is
First.Last@example.com. But, if a name is of the format "Last,First"
then notmuch will format the name as "irst Last". Handle any number of
spaces after the comma, including none.
Previously, getting the list of all messages in a thread required
recursively traversing the thread's message hierarchy, which was both
difficult and resulted in messages being out of order. This adds a
public function to retrieve an iterator over all of the messages in a
thread in oldest-first order.
Previously, thread.cc built up a list of all messages, then
proceeded to tear it apart to transform it into a list of
top-level messages. Now we simply build a new list of top-level
messages.
This simplifies the interface to _notmuch_message_add_reply,
eliminates the pointer acrobatics from
_resolve_thread_relationships, and will enable us to do things
with the list of all messages in the following patches.
Previously, there were various opportunities for memory leaks in the
error-handling paths of this function. Use a local talloc context and
some reparenting to make eliminate these leaks, while keeping the
control flow simple.
Using char instead of int allows for simpler definitions of the
DOCIDSET macros so the code is easier to understand and consistent with
respect to memory-usage. Estimated reduction of memory-usage for
bitmap about 8 times.
Apparently as of GMime 2.4, you don't need to call
internet_address_list_destroy anymore, but you still need to call
g_object_unref (from the GMime Changelog).
On the medium performance corpus, valgrind shows "possibly lost"
leakage in "notmuch new" dropping from 7M to 300k.
The message->headers hash table values get data returned by
g_mime_utils_header_decode_text ().
The pointer returned by g_mime_utils_header_decode_text is from the
following line in rfc2047_decode_tokens
return g_string_free (decoded, FALSE);
The docs for g_string_free say
Frees the memory allocated for the GString. If free_segment is TRUE
it also frees the character data. If it's FALSE, the caller gains
ownership of the buffer and must free it after use with g_free().
The remaining frees and allocations referencing to message->headers hash
values have been changed to use g_free and g_malloc functions.
This combines and completes the changes started by David Bremner.
Previously, we would treat multi-message mboxes as one giant email,
which, besides the obvious incorrect indexing, often led to
out-of-memory errors for archival mboxes. Now we explicitly reject
multi-message mboxes. For historical reasons, we retain support for
single-message mboxes, but official deprecate this behavior.
Add a custom value range processor to enable date and time searches of
the form date:since..until, where "since" and "until" are expressions
understood by the previously added date/time parser, to restrict the
results to messages within a particular time range (based on the Date:
header).
If "since" or "until" describes date/time at an accuracy of days or
less, the values are rounded according to the accuracy, towards past
for "since" and towards future for "until". For example,
date:november..yesterday would match from the beginning of November
until the end of yesterday. Expressions such as date:today..today
means since the beginning of today until the end of today.
Open-ended ranges are supported (since Xapian 1.2.1), i.e. you can
specify date:..until or date:since.. to not limit the start or end
date, respectively.
CAVEATS:
Xapian does not support spaces in range expressions. You can replace
the spaces with '_', or (in most cases) '-', or (in some cases) leave
the spaces out altogether.
Entering date:expr without ".." (for example date:yesterday) will not
work as you might expect. You can achieve the expected result by
duplicating the expr both sides of ".." (for example
date:yesterday..yesterday).
Open-ended ranges won't work with pre-1.2.1 Xapian, but they don't
produce an error either.

Previously, notmuch new only synchronized maildir flags to tags for
files with a maildir "info" part. Since messages in new/ don't have
an info part, notmuch would ignore them for flag-to-tag
synchronization.
This patch makes notmuch consider messages in new/ to be legitimate
maildir messages that simply have no maildir flags set. The most
visible effect of this is that such messages now automatically get the
unread tag.
Previously, we synchronized flags to tags for any message that looked
like it had maildir flags in its file name, regardless of whether it
was in a maildir-like directory structure. This was asymmetric with
tag-to-flag synchronization, which only applied to messages in
directories named new/ and cur/ (introduced by 95dd5fe5).
This change makes our interpretation stricter and addresses this
asymmetry by only synchronizing flags to tags for messages in
directories named new/ or cur/. It also prepares us to treat messages
in new/ as maildir messages, even though they lack maildir flags.
This way notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags can call it. It makes
more sense for this to be just above all of the maildir
synchronization code rather than mixed in the middle.
Previously, if passed a filename with a directory that did not exist
in the database, _notmuch_message_remove_filename would needlessly
create that directory document. Fix it so that doesn't happen.
Previously, _notmuch_database_filename_to_direntry would abort with an
internal error when called on a read-only database. Now that creating
the directory document is optional,
notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename can disable directory
document creation (as it should) and, as a result, not abort on
read-only databases.
Using the new support from _notmuch_directory_create, this makes
notmuch_database_get_directory a read-only operation that simply
returns the directory object if it exists or NULL otherwise. This
also means that notmuch_database_get_directory can work on read-only
databases.
This change breaks the directory mtime workaround in notmuch-new.c by
fixing the exact issue it was working around. This permits mtime
update races to prevent scans of changed directories, which
non-deterministically breaks a few tests. The next patch fixes this.
Now _notmuch_database_filename_to_direntry takes a flags argument and
can indicate if the necessary directory documents do not exist.
Again, callers have been updated, but retain their original behavior.
Now _notmuch_database_find_directory_id takes a flags argument, which
it passes through to _notmuch_directory_create and can indicate if the
directory does not exist. Again, callers have been updated, but
retain their original behavior.
Previously this function would create directory documents if they
didn't exist. As a result, it could only be used on writable
databases. This adds an argument to make creation optional and to
make this function work on read-only databases. We use a flag
argument to avoid a bare boolean and to permit future expansion.
Both callers have been updated, but currently retain the old behavior.
We'll take advantage of the new argument in the following patches.
Previously, notmuch_database_get_directory had no way to indicate how
it had failed. This changes its prototype to return a status code and
set an out-argument to the retrieved directory, like similar functions
in the library API. This does *not* change its currently broken
behavior of creating directory objects when they don't exist, but it
does document it and paves the way for fixing this. Also, it can now
check for a read-only database and return
NOTMUCH_STATUS_READ_ONLY_DATABASE instead of crashing.
In the interest of atomicity, this also updates calls from the CLI so
that notmuch still compiles.
We've changed the APIs of notmuch_database_open,
notmuch_database_create, and notmuch_database_close.
Amended by db: also bump string in bindings/python/notmuch/globals.py
This is the notmuch_database_create equivalent of the previous change.
In this case, there were places where errors were not being propagated
correctly in notmuch_database_create or in calls to it. These have
been fixed, using the new status value.
It has been a long-standing issue that notmuch_database_open doesn't
return any indication of why it failed. This patch changes its
prototype to return a notmuch_status_t and set an out-argument to the
database itself, like other functions that return both a status and an
object.
In the interest of atomicity, this also updates every use in the CLI
so that notmuch still compiles. Since this patch does not update the
bindings, the Python bindings test fails.
Formerly notmuch_database_close closed the xapian database and
destroyed the talloc structure associated with the notmuch database
object. Split notmuch_database_close into notmuch_database_close and
notmuch_database_destroy.
This makes it possible for long running programs to close the xapian
database and thus release the lock associated with it without
destroying the data structures obtained from it.
This also makes the api more consistent since every other data
structure has a destructor function.

Implicit typecast from 'void *' to 'T *' is okay in C, but not in

function for this to maintain type safety, and redefine talloc_steal

The template must be outside the extern "C" block (NOTMUCH_BEGIN_DECLS

Add the NOTMUCH_MESSAGE_FLAG_EXCLUDED flag to

a Xapian query for speed reasons.
Note notmuch_thread_get_matched_messages now returns the number of
non-excluded matching messages. This API is not totally desirable but
fixing it means breaking binary compatibility so we delay that.
Add a flag NOTMUCH_MESSAGE_FLAG_EXCLUDED which is set by
notmuch_query_search_messages for excluded messages. Also add an

Previously, we manually "free"d various pointers in
notmuch_database_open. Use a local talloc context instead to simplify
cleanup and eliminate various NULL pointer initializations and
conditionals.
In the error-handling paths of notmuch_database_open, we call
notmuch_database_close, which "delete"s several objects referenced by
the notmuch_database_t object. However, some of these pointers may be
uninitialized, resulting in undefined behavior. Hence, allocate the
notmuch_database_t with talloc_zero to make sure these pointers are
NULL so that "delete"ing them is harmless.
This is useful for tags like "deleted" and "spam" that people
generally want to exclude from query results. These exclusions will
be overridden if a tag is explicitly mentioned in a query.

sometimes gmime tries to access a NULL pointer, e.g. g_mime_iconv_open()
tries to access iconv_cache that is NULL if g_mime_init() is not called.
This causes notmuch to segfault when calling gmime functions.
Calling g_mime_init() initializes iconv_cache and others variables needed
by gmime, making sure they are initialized when notmuch calls gmime
functions.
Test marked fix by db.
It appears to be an oversight that encrypted parts were indexed
previously. The terms generated from encrypted parts are meaningless
and do nothing but add bloat to the database. It is not worth
indexing the encrypted content, just as it's not worth indexing the
signatures in signed parts.
Commit 567bcbc2 introduced two new values for each message (content of the
"From" and "Subject" headers), but the comments about the database schema had
not been updated accordingly.
For some reason, on my machine, the link is picking up
/usr/lib/libutil.so instead of util/libutil.a. This causes there to be
undefined symbols in libnotmuch, making it unuseable. This patch causes
the link to fail instead.
Add function notmuch_query_count_threads() to get the number of threads
matching a search. This is done by performing a search and figuring out the
number of unique thread IDs in the matching messages, a significantly
heavier operation than notmuch_query_count_messages().

This is a rebase and cleanup of Istvan Marko's patch from
id:m3pqnj2j7a.fsf@zsu.kismala.com
Search retrieves these headers for every message in the search
results. Previously, this required opening and parsing every message
file. Storing them directly in the database significantly reduces IO
and computation, speeding up search by between 50% and 10X.
Taking full advantage of this requires a database rebuild, but it will
fall back to the old behavior for messages that do not have headers
stored in the database.
Apparently the method was renamed in Xapian 1.1.0 but the old method
name will stay around for a while. It seems better to stick with the
old name to make notmuch compile with older versions of Xapian, at
least for now.
We keep the lib/xutil.c version. As a consequence, also factor out
_internal_error and associated macros. It might be overkill to make a
new file error_util.c for this, but _internal_error does not really
belong in database.cc.
Based on discussions with amdragon, tschwinge, and others on IRC, I concluded that
1) symbol versioning was probably overkill for libnotmuch
2) It was also probably GNU ld specific
3) Most importantly, nobody could tell me on short notice how exactly it works.
So since the change to the notmuch_database_find_message breaks the
previous ABI, we need to bump the SONAME.
Previously, the functions notmuch_database_find_message() and
notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename() functions did not properly
report error condition to the library user.
For more information, read the thread on the notmuch mailing list
starting with my mail "id:871uv2unfd.fsf@gmail.com"
Make these functions accept a pointer to 'notmuch_message_t' as argument
and return notmuch_status_t which may be used to check for any error
condition.
restore: Modify for the new notmuch_database_find_message()
new: Modify for the new notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename()
State up front that these functions may add a filename to an existing
message or remove only a filename (and not the message), respectively.
Previously, this key information was buried in return value
documentation or in "notes", which made it seem secondary to these
functions' semantics.
Adding a message may involve changes to multiple database documents,
and thus needs to be done in a transaction. This makes add_message
(and, I think, the whole library) atomicity-safe: library callers only
needs to use atomic sections if they needs atomicity across multiple
library calls.
notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename is mostly stolen from
notmuch_database_remove_message, so this patch also vastly simplfies
the latter using the former.
This API is also useful in its own right and will be used in a later
patch for eager maildir flag synchronization.
Previously, notmuch_database_remove_message would remove the message
file name, sync the change to the message document, re-find the
message document, and then delete it if there were no more file names.
An interruption after sync'ing would result in a file-name-less,
permanently un-removable zombie message that would produce errors and
odd results in searches. We could wrap this in an atomic section, but
it's much simpler to eliminate the round-about approach and just
delete the message document instead of sync'ing it if we removed the
last filename.
notmuch_database_t now keeps a nesting count and we only start a
transaction or commit for the outermost atomic section.
Introduces a new error, NOTMUCH_STATUS_UNBALANCED_ATOMIC.
Previously, this function would synchronize the folder list even if
removing the file name failed. Now it returns immediately if removing
the file name fails.
If the configure script detects missing getline and/or getdelim
symbols, then notmuch will use it's own versions. This patch, based on
id:"87k49v12i5.fsf@pc44es141.cs.uni-magdeburg.de" by Matthias
Guedemann, adds the symbols to notmuch.sym as well so they are
properly exported from the library.
OpenBSD nm apparently doesn't support --defined.
The awk condition is based on the assumption that all defined symbols
have some hex number in the first column.
Thanks to Matthias Guedemann reporting the problem, and an earlier
version of this patch.
Unfortunately Robin Green's patch 52e4dedf9a was lost when I created
gen-version-script.sh. This merges his changes manually into that
script. It turns out tabs seem not needed in version script
files, so I simplified a bit and removed the printf.
Thanks to Alexander Botero-Lowry for help and testing.
If the notmuch.sym target does not explicitly depend on $(libnotmuch_modules),
gen-version-script.sh may be run before all the .o files are created, for
example when doing a parallel build on a machine with many cores.

We're not properly concatenating the Received headers if we parse them
while requesting a header that isn't Received.
this fixes notmuch-reply address detection in a bunch of situations.
This patch adds the tag "signed" to messages with any multipart/signed
parts, and the tag "encrypted" to messages with any
multipart/encrypted parts. This only occurs when messages are indexed
during notmuch new, so a database rebuild is required to have old
messages tagged.
As of gcc 4.6, there are new warnings from -Wattributes along the lines of:
warning: ‘_notmuch_messages’ declared with greater visibility
than the type of its field ‘_notmuch_messages::iterator’
[-Wattributes]
To squelch these, we decorate all such containing structs with
__attribute__((visibility("default"))). We take care to let only the
C++ compiler see this, (since the C compiler would otherwise warn
about ignored visibility attributes on types).
gcc (at least as of version 4.6.0) is kind enough to point these out to us,
(when given -Wunused-but-set-variable explicitly or implicitly via -Wunused
or -Wall).
One of these cases was a legitimately unused variable. Two were simply
variables (named ignored) we were assigning only to squelch a warning about
unused function return values. I don't seem to be getting those warnings
even without setting the ignored variable. And the gcc docs. say that the
correct way to squelch that warning is with a cast to (void) anyway.
Now each caller of notmuch_message_get_tags only gets a new iterator,
instead of a whole new list. In principle this could cause problems
with iterating while modifying tags, but through the magic of talloc
references, we keep the old tag list alive even after the cache in the
message object is invalidated.
This reduces my index search from the 3.102 seconds before the unified
metadata pass to 1.811 seconds (1.7X faster). Combined with the
thread search optimization in b3caef1f06,
that makes this query 2.5X faster than when I started.
Even if the caller never uses the file names, there is little cost to
simply fetching the file name terms. However, retrieving the full
paths requires additional database work, so the expansion from terms
to full paths is performed lazily.
This also simplifies clearing the filename cache, since that's now
handled by the generic metadata cache code.
This further reduces my inbox search from 3.102 seconds before the
unified metadata pass to 2.206 seconds (1.4X faster).
Replace _notmuch_convert_tags with this and simplify
_create_filenames_for_terms_with_prefix. This will also come in handy
shortly to get the message file name list.
This replaces the guts of the filename list and tag list, making those
interfaces simple iterators over the generic string list. The
directory, message filename, and tags-related code now build generic
string lists and then wraps them in specific iterators. The real wins
come in later patches, when we use these for even more generic
functionality.
As a nice side-effect, this also eliminates the annoying dependency on
GList in the tag list.
This performs a single pass over a message's term list to fetch the
thread ID, message ID, and reply-to, rather than requiring a pass for
each. Xapian decompresses the term list anew for each iteration, so
this reduces the amount of time spent decompressing message metadata.
This reduces my inbox search from 3.102 seconds to 2.555 seconds (1.2X
faster).
Such as:
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
This is implemented by having the configure script set a srcdir
variable in Makefile.config, and then sprinkling $(srcdir) into
various make rules. We also use vpath directives to convince GNU make
to find the source files from the original source directory.
Don't require the caller of _notmuch_doc_id_set_init to pass in a
correct bound; instead compute it from the array. This simplifies the
caller and makes this interface easier to use correctly.
Remove the repeated "sizeof (doc_ids->bitmap[0])" that bothered cworth
by instead defining macros to compute the word and bit offset of a
given bit in the doc ID set bitmap.
With talloc, we were already freeing all memory by the time we exited
the loop, but that didn't help with excess use of memory inside the
loop, (which was mostly from tallocing some objects with the incorrect
parent).
Thanks to Andrew Tridgell for sitting next to me and teaching me to
use talloc_report_full to find these leaks.
A new "folder:" prefix in the query string can now be used to match
the directories in which mail files are stored.
The addition of this feature causes the recently added
search-by-folder tests to now pass.
Using the local talloc context ensures that the memory we are using
here will be freed shortly, (rather than hanging on for a long time
with the notmuch database object).
This reduces thread search's 1+2t Xapian queries (where t is the
number of matched threads) to 1+t queries and constructs exactly one
notmuch_message_t for each message instead of 2 to 3.
notmuch_query_search_threads eagerly fetches the docids of all
messages matching the user query instead of lazily constructing
message objects and fetching thread ID's from term lists.
_notmuch_thread_create takes a seed docid and the set of all matched
docids and uses a single Xapian query to expand this docid to its
containing thread, using the matched docid set to determine which
messages in the thread match the user query instead of using a second
Xapian query.
This reduces the amount of time required to load my inbox from 4.523
seconds to 3.025 seconds (1.5X faster).
We really want to change the thread subject at the same time we set
the date, (if the sort order indicates this is necessary). The
previous code for setting the thread subject was sensitive on the
query sort when adding matching messages. An independent bug fix is
about to change that query sort order, so we remove the dependency on
it here.
This was a misfeature where notmuch had extra code that just threw
away legitimate information. It was never indexing an initial "Re"
term in a subject. But some users have legitimately wanted to search
for this term.
The original code was written this way merely for strict compatiblity
with the indexing performed by sup, but we're not taking advantage of
that now anyway.
This is to prevent notmuch from destroying any information the user
has encoded as flags in the maildir filename. Tests are also added to
the test suite to verify the documented behavior.
Some people use notmuch with non-maildir files, (for example, email
messages in MH format, or else cool things like using sluk[*] to suck
down feeds into a format that notmuch can index).
To better support uses like that, don't do any renaming for files that
are not in a directory named either "new" or "cur".
[*] https://github.com/krl/sluk/
I had originally hoped for better semantics, such as doing nothing in
non-maildir directories, and preserving unknown maildir flags that
happen to be present.
We could still do those things, of course, but for now, remove them
from the documentation since the implementation does not do these
things yet.
It is totally legitimate for a non-maildir directory to be named "new"
(and not have a directory next to it named "cur"). To support this
case at least, be silent about any rename failure.
If a filename has no maildir info at all, (that is, it does not
contain the sequence ":2,"), we consider this distinct from a filename
with an empty maildir info, (the ":2," separator is present, but no
flags characters follow).
Specifically, we regard a missing info field as providing no
information, so tags will remain unchanged. On the other hand, an info
field that is present but has no flags set will cause various tags to
be cleared, (or in the case of "unread", added).
This fixes the "remove info" case of the maildir-sync tests in the
test suite.
Previously the documentation of notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags
suggested that the presence of a flag would cause tags to be added,
(or in the case of "unread", removed). But the case of absent maildir
flags was not explicitly described.
What we actually want, is that for supported flags, the absence of the
flag in all messages causes the corresponding tag to be removed,
(or in the case of "unread", added). So document that explicitly.
This is the case recently added to the test suite as a failing test,
(so we'll need to do bug fixing before the documentation is honest
here).
We have tests to ensure that when the notmuch library renames a file
that that rename takes place immediately in the database, (without
requiring something like "notmuch new" to notice the change).
This was working when the code was first added, but recently broke in
the reworking of the maildir-synchronization interface since the
tags_to_maildir_flags function can no longer assume that it is being
called as part of _notmuch_message_sync.
Fortunately, the fix is as simple as adding an explicit call to
_notmuch_message_sync.
As documented, this function now iterates over all filenames for the
message, computing a logical OR of the flags set on the filenames,
then uses the final result to set tags on the message.
This change fixes 3 of the 10 maildir-sync tests that have been
failing since being added.
This augments the existing notmuch_message_get_filename by allowing
the caller access to all filenames in the case of multiple files for a
single message.
To support this, we split the iterator (notmuch_filenames_t) away from
the list storage (notmuch_filename_list_t) where previously these were
a single object (notmuch_filenames_t). Then, whenever the user asks
for a file or filename, the message object lazily creates a complete
notmuch_filename_list_t and then:
For notmuch_message_get_filename, returns the first filename
in the list.
For notmuch_message_get_filenames, creates and returns a new
iterator for the filename list.
The new implementation is simply a talloc-based list of strings. The
former support (a list of database terms with a common prefix) is
implemented by simply pre-iterating over the terms and populating the
list. This should provide no performance disadvantage as callers of
thigns like notmuch_directory_get_child_files are very likely to
always iterate over all filenames anyway.
This new implementation of notmuch_filenames_t is in preparation for
adding API to query all of the filenames for a single message.
This rather ugly hack was recently obviated by the removal of the
notmuch_database_set_maildir_sync function. Now, clients must make
explicit calls to do any syncrhonization between maildir flags and
tags. So the library no longer needs to worry about doing inconsistent
synchronization while a message is only partially added.
Instead of having an API for setting a library-wide flag for
synchronization (notmuch_database_set_maildir_sync) we instead
implement maildir synchronization with two new library functions:
notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags
and notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags
These functions are nicely documented here, (though the implementation
does not quite match the documentation yet---as plainly evidenced by
the current results of the test suite).
Tags in a notmuch database affect all messages with the identical
message-ID. But maildir tags affect individual files. And since
multiple files can contain the identical message-ID, there is not a
one-to-one correspondence between messages affected by tags and flags.
This is particularly dangerous with the 'T' (== "trashed") maildir
flag and the corresponding "deleted" tag in the notmuch
database. Since these flags/tags are often used to trigger
irreversible deletion operations, the lack of one-to-one
correspondence can be potentially dangerous.
For example, consider the following sequence:
1. A third-party application is used to identify duplicate messages
in the mail store, and mark all-but-one of each duplicate with
the 'T' flag for subsequent deletion.
2. A "notmuch new" operation reads that 'T' flag, adding the
"deleted" flag to the corresponding messages within the notmuch
database.
3. A subsequent notmuch operation, (such as a "notmuch dump; notmuch
restore" cycle) synchronized the "deleted" tag back to the mail
store, applying the 'T' flag to all(!) filenames with duplicate
message IDs.
4. A third-party application reads the 'T' flags and irreversibly
deletes all mail messages which had any duplicates(!).
In order to avoid this scenario, we simply refuse to synchronize the
'T' flag with the "deleted" tag. Instead, applications can set 'T' and
act on it to delete files, or can set "deleted" and act on it to
delete files. But in either case the semantics are clear and there is
never dangerous propagation through the one-to-many mapping of notmuch
message objects to files.
This adds group [maildir] and key 'synchronize_flags' to the
configuration file. Its value enables (true) or diables (false) the
synchronization between notmuch tags and maildir flags. By default,
the synchronization is disabled.
This patch allows bi-directional synchronization between maildir
flags and certain tags. The flag-to-tag mapping is defined by flag2tag
array.
The synchronization works this way:
1) Whenever notmuch new is executed, the following happens:
o New messages are tagged with configured new_tags.
o For new or renamed messages with maildir info present in the file
name, the tags defined in flag2tag are either added or removed
depending on the flags from the file name.
2) Whenever notmuch tag (or notmuch restore) is executed, a new set of
flags based on the tags is constructed for every message and a new
file name is prepared based on the old file name but with the new
flags. If the flags differs and the old message was in 'new'
directory then this is replaced with 'cur' in the new file name. If
the new and old file names differ, the file is renamed and notmuch
database is updated accordingly.
The rename happens before the database is updated. In case of crash
between rename and database update, the next run of notmuch new
brings the database in sync with the mail store again.
This prevents any of the private functions from being leaked out
through the library interface (at least when compiling with a
recent-enough gcc to support the visibility pragma).
These various functions and data are all used only locally, so should
be marked static. Ensuring we get these right will avoid us accidentally
leaking unintended symbols through the library interface.
This increment is for the recently-added functions:
notmuch_query_get_query_string
notmuch_query_get_sort
These were recently added to the library interface, but the library
version was not incremented at that time, (shame on me).
Hi,
If I want to build Debian package, it fails with the following message:
ldconfig: Can't create temporary cache file /etc/ld.so.cache~: Permission denied
make[1]: *** [install-lib] Error 1
The reason is that I build the package as a non-root user and make
install invokes ldconfig unconditionally. The following patch contains a
workaround, but I think that a more correct solution would be to check
the condition LIBDIR_IN_LDCONFIG directly when make install is invoked
rather than in configure as it is done now.
Signed-off-by: Michal Sojka <sojkam1@fel.cvut.cz>
Previously, if the underlying search_messages hit an exception and returned
NULL, this function would ignore that and return a non-NULL, (but empty)
threads object. Fix this to properly propagate the error.
Thanks to the new git-based test suite, it's easy to run the whole
test suite in valgrind, (simply "make test OPTIONS="--valgrind"), and
doing so showed this obvious use-after-free bug, (triggered by the
thread-order tests).
Various users were confused as to why they couldn't run notmuch
immediately after "make install", (with linker errors saying that
libnotmuch.so could not be found). The errors came from two different
causes:
1. The user had installed to a system library directory, but had not
yet run ldconfig.
2. The user had installed to some non-system directory, and had not
set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.
With this change we fix both problems (on Linux) without the user
having to do anything additional. We first use ldconfig to find the
system library directories. If the user is installing to one of these,
then we run ldconfig as part of "make install".
For case (2) we use the -rpath and --enable-new-dtags linker options
to install a DT_RUNPATH entry in the binary. This entry tells the
dynamic linker where to find libnotmuch. Without the
--enable-new-dtags option only a DT_RPATH option would be installed,
(which has the drawback of not allowing any override with the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable).
Distributions (such as Debian and Fedora) don't want to see binaries
packaged with a DT_RPATH or DT_RUNPATH entry. This should be avoided
automatically as long as the packages install to standard locations,
(such as /usr/lib).
Scott Henson reported an internal error that occurred when he tried to
add a message that referenced another message with a message ID well
over 300 characters in length. The bug here was running into a Xapian
limit for the length of metadata key names, (which is even more
restrictive than the Xapian limit for the length of terms).
We fix this by noticing long message ID values and instead using a
message ID of the form "notmuch-sha1-<sha1_sum_of_message_id>". That
is, we use SHA1 to generate a compressed, (but still unique), version
of the message ID.
We add support to the test suite to exercise this fix. The tests add a
message referencing the long message ID, then add the message with the
long message ID, then finally add another message referencing the long
ID. Each of these tests exercise different code paths where the
special handling is implemented.
A final test ensures that all three messages are stitched together
into a single thread---guaranteeing that the three code paths all act
consistently.
