build: switch to hiding libnotmuch symbols by default

2017-05-12T10:17:18Z

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.

rename libutil.a to libnotmuch_util.a

2017-03-19T00:37:43Z

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.

lib: regexp matching in 'subject' and 'from'

2017-03-03T21:46:48Z

the idea is that you can run % notmuch search subject:// % notmuch search from:// 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.

lib: use glib for sha1 digests instead of embedding libsha1

2017-01-08T14:50:38Z

We already depend on glib both directly and indirectly (via gmime). We might as well make use of its facilities. Drop the embedded libsha1 and use glib for sha1 digests.

lib: basic message-property API

2016-09-21T21:14:24Z

Initially, support get, set and removal of single key/value pair, as well as removing all properties.

lib: private string map (associative array) API

2016-09-21T21:14:24Z

The choice of array implementation is deliberate, for future iterator support

lib: add support for named queries

2016-05-25T10:40:44Z

This relies on the optional presense of xapian field processors, and the library config API.

lib: provide config API

2016-05-24T11:53:03Z

This is a thin wrapper around the Xapian metadata API. The job of this layer is to keep the config key value pairs from colliding with other metadata by transparently prefixing the keys, along with the usual glue to provide a C interface. The split of _get_config into two functions is to allow returning of the return value with different memory ownership semantics.

lib/cli: add library API / CLI for compile time options

2016-05-13T10:29:12Z

This is intentionally low tech; if we have more than two options it may make sense to build up what infrastructure is provided.

build: extract library versions from notmuch.h

2015-08-10T11:53:55Z

- Make lib/notmuch.h the canonical location for the library versioning information. - Since the release-check should never fail now, remove it to reduce complexity. - Make the version numbers in notmuch.h consistent with the (now deleted) ones in lib/Makefile.local
