notmuch/compat
This directory consists of three things:
1. Small programs used by the notmuch configure script to test for the
availability of certain system features, (library functions, etc.).
For example: have_getline.c
2. Compatibility implementations of those system features for systems
that don't provide their own versions.
For example: getline.c
The compilation of these files is made conditional on the output of
the test programs from [1].
3. Macro definitions abstracting compiler differences (e.g. function
attributes).
For example: function-attributes.h
