notmuch/compat, branch 0.24.1

Use https instead of http where possible

2016-06-05T11:32:17Z

Many of the external links found in the notmuch source can be resolved using https instead of http. This changeset addresses as many as i could find, without touching the e-mail corpus or expected outputs found in tests.

configure: add workaround for systems without zlib.pc

2014-06-21T19:40:39Z

Some systems (e.g. FreeBSD) might not have installed the appropriate pkg-config file as they should. We can workaround the issue by creating the .pc file they should have distributed. Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras

compat: add canonicalize_file_name

2014-04-08T10:27:14Z

the POSIX 2008 behaviour of realpath is not available everywhere so we provide a simple wrapper function. We use (and provide) the gnu extension canonicalize_file_name to make it cleaner to test for the feature we need; otherwise we have to rely on realpath segfaulting if the second argument is null.

new: Detect dirent.d_type support at configure time

2014-02-14T12:42:45Z

Support for dirent.d_type is OS-specific. Previously, we used _DIRENT_HAVE_D_TYPE to detect support for this, but this is apparently a glic-ism (FreeBSD, for example, supports d_type, but does not define this). Since there's no cross-platform way to detect support for dirent.d_type, detect it using a test compile at configure time.

timegm: add portable implementation (Solaris support)

2013-08-23T15:57:35Z

The timegm(3) function is a non-standard extension to libc which is available in GNU libc and on some BSDs. Although SunOS had this function in its libc, Solaris (unfortunately) removed it. This patch implements a very simple version of timegm() which is good enough for parse-time-string.c. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Marek

strsep: check for availability (Solaris support)

2013-08-23T15:55:39Z

Solaris does not ship a version of the strsep() function. This change adds a check to "configure" to see whether notmuch needs to provide its own implementation, and if so, it uses the new version in "compat/strsep.c" (which was copied from Mutt, and apparently before that from glibc).

asctime: check for standards compliance (Solaris support)

2013-08-23T15:55:23Z

Add checks to "configure" to see whether _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS needs to be defined to get the right number of arguments in the prototypes for asctime_r(). Solaris' default implementation conforms to POSIX.1c Draft 6, rather than the final POSIX.1c spec. The standards-compliant version can be used by defining _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS. This change also adds the file "compat/check_asctime.c", which configure uses to perform its check, and modifies compat/compat.h to define _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS if configure detected it was needed.

getpwuid: check for standards compliance (Solaris support)

2013-08-23T15:53:17Z

Add checks to "configure" to see whether _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS needs to be defined to get the right number of arguments in the prototypes for getpwuid_r(). Solaris' default implementation conforms to POSIX.1c Draft 6, rather than the final POSIX.1c spec. The standards-compliant version can be used by defining _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS. This change also adds the file "compat/check_getpwuid.c", which configure uses to perform its check, and modifies compat/compat.h to define _POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS if configure detected it was needed.

Extend compat/README

Provide a NORETURN_ATTRIBUTE macro similar to PRINTF_ATTRIBUTE

2012-09-27T15:50:22Z

This attribute is understood by gcc since version 2.5. clang provides support for testing for function attributes using __has_attribute. For other compilers this macro evaluates to the empty string. Signed-off-by: Justus Winter <4winter@informatik.uni-hamburg.de>
