Rename version to version.txt

2020-10-30T19:14:24Z

Building Notmuch on macOS is known to cause problems because the Notmuch distribution archive contains two files named "version". These names clash with the header as defined in C++20. Therefore, the existing naming will likely become a problem on other platforms as well, once compilers adopt the new standard.

lib/config: don't set destructor until iterator is initialized.

2020-10-30T00:13:01Z

As diagnosed by Olivier Taïbi in id:20201027100916.emry3k2wujod4xnl@galois.lan, if an exception is thrown while the initialization is happening (e.g. if the function is called on a closed database), then the destructor is (sometimes) invoked on an uninitialized Xapian object. Solve the problem by moving the setting of the destructor until after the placement new successfully completes. It is conceivable this might cause a memory leak, but that seems preferable to crashing, and in any case, there seems to be nothing better to be done if the initialization is failing things are in an undefined state by definition.

configure: replace $(realpath emacs) with $(cd emacs && pwd -P)

2020-10-21T10:01:37Z

For portability; the realpath command (e.g. from GNU coreutils) is not so common outside Linux systems. The "$(cd emacs && pwd -P)" replaces that realpath(1) execution suitably in this context (using just bash(1) builtins).

emacs docs: rstdoc.el: consistent single quote conversions

2020-10-21T09:55:39Z

With text-quoting-style 'grave keeps "'" and "`" quotes unaltered for further processing done by this code (regardless of locale...). The tools that read the reStructuredText markup generated can do their styling instead. Added temporary conversions of ' and ` to \001 and \002 so that 's and `s outside of `...' and `...` are converted separately ('s restored back to ' and `s converted to \`). Both `...' and `...` are finally "converted" to `...` (not ``...``). https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/user/rst/quickref.html documents that as `interpreted text`: "The rendering and meaning of interpreted text is domain- or application-dependent. It can be used for things like index entries or explicit descriptive markup (like program identifiers)." Which looks pretty much right.
