This new function asks the database to reindex a given message.
The parameter `indexopts` is currently ignored, but is intended to
provide an extensible API to support e.g. changing the encryption or
filtering status (e.g. whether and how certain non-plaintext parts are
indexed).
This operation is relatively inexpensive, as the needed metadata is
already computed by our lazy metadata fetching. The goal is to support
better UI for messages with multipile files.
The corresponding xapian document just gets more terms added to it,
but this doesn't seem to break anything. Values on the other hand get
overwritten, which is a bit annoying, but arguably it is not worse to
take the values (from, subject, date) from the last file indexed
rather than the first.
This is really pure C string parsing, and doesn't need to be mixed in
with the Xapian/C++ layer. Although not strictly necessary, it also
makes it a bit more natural to call _parse_message_id from multiple
compilation units.
The switch is easier to understand than the side effects in the if
test. It also potentially allows us more flexibility in breaking up
this function into smaller pieces, since passing private_status around
is icky.
'database.cc' is becoming a monster, and it's hard to follow what the
various static functions are used for. It turns out that about 1/3 of
this file notmuch_database_add_message and helper functions not used
by any other function. This commit isolates this code into it's own
file.
Some side effects of this refactoring:
- find_doc_ids becomes the non-static (but still private)
_notmuch_database_find_doc_ids
- a few instances of 'string' have 'std::' prepended, avoiding the
need for 'using namespace std;' in the new file.
We need to rewrite the loop for gmime-3.0; move the loop body to its
own function to avoid code duplication. Keep the common exit via
"goto DONE" to make this pure code movement. It's important to note
that the existing exit path only deallocates the iterator.
We want to reuse the scanner definition with a different table. This
is mainly code movement, and making the state table part of the filter
struct/class.
Commit d5523ead90 ("Mark some structures in the library interface
with visibility=default attribute.") fixed some mixed visibility
issues with structs. With the symbol default visibility reversed, this
is no longer a problem.
The dynamic generation of the linker version script for libnotmuch
exports has grown rather complicated.
Reverse the visibility control by hiding symbols by default using
-fvisibility=hidden, and explicitly exporting symbols in notmuch.h
using #pragma GCC visibility. (We could also use __attribute__
((visibility ("default"))) for each exported function, but the pragma
is more convenient.)
The above is not quite enough alone, as it would "leak" a number of
weak symbols from Xapian and C++ standard library. Combine it with a
small static version script that filters out everything except the
notmuch_* symbols that we explicitly exposed, and the C++ RTTI
typeinfo symbols for exception handling.
Finally, as the symbol hiding test can no longer look at the generated
symbol table, switch the test to parse the functions from notmuch.h.
Commits 9db2145272 ("lib/gen-version-script.h: add getline and
getdelim to notmuch.sym if needed") and 3242e29e57 ("build: add
canonicalize_file_name to symbols exported from libnotmuch.so")
started exporting compat functions from libnotmuch so that the cli
could use them. But we shouldn't export such functions from the
library. They are not part of our ABI. Instead, the cli should include
its own copies of the compat functions.
From a UI perspective this looks similar to what was already provided
for from, subject, and mid, but the implementation is quite
different. It uses the database's list of terms to construct a term
based query equivalent to the passed regular expression.
The index(3) function has been deprecated in POSIX since 2001 and
removed in 2008, and most code in notmuch already calls strchr(3).
This fixes a compilation error on Android whose libc does not have
index(3).
The non-field processor behaviour is is convert the corresponding
queries into a search for the unprefixed terms. This yields pretty
surprising results so I decided to generate a query that would match
the terms (i.e. none with that prefix) generated for an empty header.
The argument is that if the string passed to the field processor has
no spaces, then the added quotes won't have any benefit except for
disabling wildcards. But disabling wildcards doesn't seem very useful
in the normal Xapian query parser, since they're stripped before
generating terms anyway. It does mean that the query 'from:"foo*"' will
not be precisely equivalent to 'from:foo' as it is for the non
field-processor version.
This function was deprecated in notmuch 0.21. We re-use the name for
a status returning version, and deprecate the _st name. One or two
remaining uses of the (removed) non-status returning version fixed at
the same time
This function was deprecated in notmuch 0.21. We finally remove the
deprecated API, and rename the status returning version to the simpler
name. The status returning is kept as a deprecated alias.
Apparently some systems (MacOS?) have a system library called libutil
and the name conflict causes problems. Since this library is quite
notmuch specific, rename it to something less generic.
The object where pointer to `data` was received was deleted before
it was used in _notmuch_string_list_append().
Relevant Coverity messages follow:
3: extract
Assigning: data = std::__cxx11::string(message->doc.()).c_str(),
which extracts wrapped state from temporary of type std::__cxx11::string.
4: dtor_free
The internal representation of temporary of type std::__cxx11::string
is freed by its destructor.
5: use after free:
Wrapper object use after free (WRAPPER_ESCAPE)
Using internal representation of destroyed object local data.
For reasons not completely understood at this time, gmime (as of
2.6.22) is returning a date before 1900 on bad date input. Since this
confuses some other software, we clamp such dates to 0,
i.e. 1970-01-01.
Remove incorrect skipping to first match from init(), and add explicit
skip_to() and check() methods to work around xapian-core bug (the
check() method will also improve speed when filtering by one of
these).
We filter added exclude at add time, rather than modifying the query by
count search. As noted in the comments, there are several ignored
conditions here.
The main goal is to prepare the way for non-destructive (or at least
less destructive) exclude tag handling. It does this by having a
pre-parsed query available for further processing. This also allows us
to provide slightly more precise error messages.

mid: is the url scheme suggested by URL 2392. We also plan to
introduce more flexible searches for mid: than are possible with
id: (in order not to break assumptions about the special behaviour of
id:, e.g. identifying at most one message).
the idea is that you can run
% notmuch search subject:/<your-favourite-regexp>/
% notmuch search from:/<your-favourite-regexp>/
or
% notmuch search subject:"your usual phrase search"
% notmuch search from:"usual phrase search"
This feature is only available with recent Xapian, specifically
support for field processors is needed.
It should work with bindings, since it extends the query parser.
This is easy to extend for other value slots, but currently the only
value slots are date, message_id, from, subject, and last_mod. Date is
already searchable; message_id is left for a followup commit.
This was originally written by Austin Clements, and ported to Xapian
field processors (from Austin's custom query parser) by yours truly.
The retries are hardcoded to a small number, and error handling aborts
than propagating errors from notmuch_database_reopen. These are both
somewhat justified by the assumption that most things that can go
wrong in Xapian::Database::reopen are rare and fatal. Here's the brief
discussion with Xapian upstream:
24-02-2017 08:12:57 < bremner> any intuition about how likely
Xapian::Database::reopen is to fail? I'm catching a
DatabaseModifiedError somewhere where handling any further errors is
tricky, and wondering about treating a failed reopen as as "the
impossible happened, stopping"
24-02-2017 16:22:34 < olly> bremner: there should not be much scope for
failure - stuff like out of memory or disk errors, which are probably a
good enough excuse to stop
