notmuch/compat, branch 0.29.1

Use rooted paths in .gitignore files

2017-08-18T22:42:35Z

A leading / in paths in a .gitignore file matches the beginning of the path, meaning that for patterns without slashes, git will match files only in the current directory as opposed to in any subdirectory. Prefix relevant paths with / in .gitignore files, to prevent accidentally ignoring files in subdirectories and possibly slightly improve the performance of "git status".

compat: don't include compat.h from the feature test source

2017-05-11T23:42:37Z

The feature test code should test the build environment, and none of the compat code should interfere with that. Don't include compat.h from the feature test source. There should be no functional changes here, but this is just the right thing to do.

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.
