2014-10-25lib: Internal support for querying and creating ghost messagesAustin Clements
This updates the message abstraction to support ghost messages: it adds a message flag that distinguishes regular messages from ghost messages, and an internal function for initializing a newly created (blank) message as a ghost message.
2014-10-25lib: Introduce macros for bit operationsAustin Clements
These macros help clarify basic bit-twiddling code and are written to be robust against C undefined behavior of shift operators.
2014-10-11lib: Handle empty date valueAustin Clements
In the interest of robustness, avoid undefined behavior of sortable_unserialise if the date value is missing. This shouldn't happen now, but ghost messages will have blank date values.
2014-10-11lib: Move message ID compression to _notmuch_message_create_for_message_idAustin Clements
Previously, this was performed by notmuch_database_add_message. This happens to be the only caller currently (which is why this was safe), but we're about to introduce more callers, and it makes more sense to put responsibility for ID compression in the lower-level function rather than requiring each caller to handle it.
2014-09-24lib: actually return failures from notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flagsJani Nikula
The function takes great care to preserve the first error status it encounters, yet fails to return that status to the caller. Fix it.
2014-08-30lib: Return an error from operations that require an upgradeAustin Clements
Previously, there was no protection against a caller invoking an operation on an old database version that would effectively corrupt the database by treating it like a newer version. According to notmuch.h, any caller that opens the database in read/write mode is supposed to check if the database needs upgrading and perform an upgrade if it does. This would protect against this, but nobody (even the CLI) actually does this. However, with features, it's easy to protect against incompatible operations on a fine-grained basis. This lightweight change allows callers to safely operate on old database versions, while preventing specific operations that would corrupt the database with an informative error message.
2014-08-30lib: Support empty header values in databaseAustin Clements
Commit 567bcbc2 introduced support for storing various headers in document values. However, doing so in a backwards-compatible way meant that genuinely empty header values could not be distinguished from the old behavior of not storing the headers at all, so these required parsing the original message. Now that we have database features, new databases can declare that all messages have header values, so if we have this feature flag, we can use the stored header value even if it's the empty string. This requires slight cleanup to notmuch_message_get_header, since the code previously couldn't distinguish between empty headers and headers that are never stored in the database (previously this distinction didn't matter).
2014-08-05lib: Improve documentation of _notmuch_message_create_for_message_idAustin Clements
Clarify the state of the returned message when _notmuch_message_create_for_message_id returns NOTMUCH_PRIVATE_STATUS_NO_DOCUMENT_FOUND.
2014-08-04lib: Invalidate message metadata in _notmuch_message_gen_termsAustin Clements
Previously, we invalidated stored message metadata in _notmuch_message_add_term and _notmuch_message_remove_term, but not in _notmuch_message_gen_terms. This doesn't currently result in any bugs because of our limited uses of _notmuch_message_gen_terms, but it may could cause trouble in the future.
2014-07-13lib: Start all function names in notmuch-private.h withCharles Celerier
As noted in devel/STYLE, every private library function should start with _notmuch. This patch corrects function naming that did not adhere to this style in lib/notmuch-private.h. In particular, the old function names that now begin with _notmuch are notmuch_sha1_of_file notmuch_sha1_of_string notmuch_message_file_close notmuch_message_file_get_header notmuch_message_file_open notmuch_message_get_author notmuch_message_set_author Signed-off-by: Charles Celerier <cceleri@cs.stanford.edu>
2014-06-18lib: Separate all phrases indexed by _notmuch_message_gen_termsAustin Clements
This adds a 100 termpos gap between all phrases indexed by _notmuch_message_gen_terms. This fixes a bug where terms from the end of one header and the beginning of another header could match together in a single phrase and a separate bug where term positions of un-prefixed terms overlapped. This fix only affects newly indexed messages. Messages that are already indexed won't benefit from this fix without re-indexing, but the fix won't make things any worse for existing messages.
2014-03-11lib: make folder: prefix literalJani Nikula
In xapian terms, convert folder: prefix from probabilistic to boolean prefix, matching the paths, relative from the maildir root, of the message files, ignoring the maildir new and cur leaf directories. folder:foo matches all message files in foo, foo/new, and foo/cur. folder:foo/new does *not* match message files in foo/new. folder:"" matches all message files in the top level maildir and its new and cur subdirectories. This change constitutes a database change: bump the database version and add database upgrade support for folder: terms. The upgrade also adds path: terms. Finally, fix the folder search test for literal folder: search, as some of the folder: matching capabilities are lost in the probabilistic to boolean prefix change.
2014-03-11lib: add support for path: prefix searchesJani Nikula
The path: prefix is a literal boolean prefix matching the paths, relative from the maildir root, of the message files. path:foo matches all message files in foo (but not in foo/new or foo/cur). path:foo/new matches all message files in foo/new. path:"" matches all message files in the top level maildir. path:foo/** matches all message files in foo and recursively in all subdirectories of foo. path:** matches all message files recursively, i.e. all messages.
2014-03-11lib: refactor folder term update after filename removalJani Nikula
Abstract some blocks of code for reuse. No functional changes.
2014-01-18lib: fix error handlingTomi Valkeinen
Currently if a Xapian exception happens in notmuch_message_get_header, the exception is not caught leading to crash. In notmuch_message_get_date the exception is caught, but an internal error is raised, again leading to crash. This patch fixes the error handling by making both functions catch the Xapian exceptions, print an error and return NULL or 0. The 'notmuch->exception_reported' is also set, as is done elsewhere, even if I don't really get the idea of that field. Signed-off-by: Tomi Valkeinen <tomi.valkeinen@iki.fi>
2013-09-03tags_to_maildir_flags: Don't rename if no flags changeLouis Rilling
notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags() unconditionally moves messages from maildir directory "new/" to maildir directory "cur/", which makes messages lose their "new" status in the MUA. However some users want to keep this "new" status after, for instance, an auto-tagging of new messages. However, as Austin mentioned and according to the maildir specification, messages living in "new/" are not allowed to have flags, even if mutt allows it to happen. For this reason, this patch prevents moving messages from "new/" to "cur/", only if no flags have to be changed. It's hopefully enough to satisfy mutt (and maybe other MUAs showing the "new" status) users checking the "new" status. Changelog: * v2: Fix bool type as well as NULL returned despite having no errors (Austin Clements) * v4: Tag the related test (contributed by Michal Sojka) as working Signed-off-by: Louis Rilling <l.rilling@av7.net> [Condition for keeping messages in new/ was extended to satisfy all tests from the previous patch. -Michal Sojka] [Added by David Bremner, to keep the tests passing at each commit] update insert tests for new maildir synchronization rules As of id:1355952747-27350-4-git-send-email-sojkam1@fel.cvut.cz we are more conservative about moving messages from ./new to ./cur.

2013-05-03lib/message.cc: stale pointer bug (v3)Vladimir Marek
Xapian::TermIterator::operator* returns std::string which is destroyed as soon as (*i).c_str() finishes. The remembered pointer 'term' then references invalid memory. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Marek <vlmarek@volny.cz>
2013-02-18lib: Separate list of all messages from top-level messagesAustin Clements
Previously, thread.cc built up a list of all messages, then proceeded to tear it apart to transform it into a list of top-level messages. Now we simply build a new list of top-level messages. This simplifies the interface to _notmuch_message_add_reply, eliminates the pointer acrobatics from _resolve_thread_relationships, and will enable us to do things with the list of all messages in the following patches.
2012-12-01lib: fix warnings when building with clangJani Nikula
Building notmuch with CC=clang and CXX=clang++ produces the warnings: CC -O2 lib/tags.o lib/tags.c:43:5: warning: expression result unused [-Wunused-value] talloc_steal (tags, list); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /usr/include/talloc.h:345:143: note: expanded from: ...__location__); __talloc_steal_ret; }) ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1 warning generated.

Check talloc_reference() return value, and explicitly ignore talloc_steal() return value as it has no failure modes, to silence the warnings.
2012-06-10lib: Treat messages in new/ as maildir messages with no flags setAustin Clements
Previously, notmuch new only synchronized maildir flags to tags for files with a maildir "info" part. Since messages in new/ don't have an info part, notmuch would ignore them for flag-to-tag synchronization. This patch makes notmuch consider messages in new/ to be legitimate maildir messages that simply have no maildir flags set. The most visible effect of this is that such messages now automatically get the unread tag.
2012-06-10lib: Only synchronize maildir flags for messages in maildirsAustin Clements
Previously, we synchronized flags to tags for any message that looked like it had maildir flags in its file name, regardless of whether it was in a maildir-like directory structure. This was asymmetric with tag-to-flag synchronization, which only applied to messages in directories named new/ and cur/ (introduced by 95dd5fe5). This change makes our interpretation stricter and addresses this asymmetry by only synchronizing flags to tags for messages in directories named new/ or cur/. It also prepares us to treat messages in new/ as maildir messages, even though they lack maildir flags.
2012-06-10lib: Move _filename_is_in_maildirAustin Clements
This way notmuch_message_maildir_flags_to_tags can call it. It makes more sense for this to be just above all of the maildir synchronization code rather than mixed in the middle.
2012-05-23lib: Don't needlessly create directory docs in _notmuch_message_remove_filenameAustin Clements
Previously, if passed a filename with a directory that did not exist in the database, _notmuch_message_remove_filename would needlessly create that directory document. Fix it so that doesn't happen.
2012-05-23lib: Perform the same transformation to _notmuch_database_filename_to_direntryAustin Clements
Now _notmuch_database_filename_to_direntry takes a flags argument and can indicate if the necessary directory documents do not exist. Again, callers have been updated, but retain their original behavior.

2011-11-14Store "from" and "subject" headers in the database.Austin Clements
This is a rebase and cleanup of Istvan Marko's patch from id:m3pqnj2j7a.fsf@zsu.kismala.com Search retrieves these headers for every message in the search results. Previously, this required opening and parsing every message file. Storing them directly in the database significantly reduces IO and computation, speeding up search by between 50% and 10X. Taking full advantage of this requires a database rebuild, but it will fall back to the old behavior for messages that do not have headers stored in the database.
2011-10-04lib: make find_message{,by_filename) report errorsAli Polatel
Previously, the functions notmuch_database_find_message() and notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename() functions did not properly report error condition to the library user. For more information, read the thread on the notmuch mailing list starting with my mail "id:871uv2unfd.fsf@gmail.com" Make these functions accept a pointer to 'notmuch_message_t' as argument and return notmuch_status_t which may be used to check for any error condition. restore: Modify for the new notmuch_database_find_message() new: Modify for the new notmuch_database_find_message_by_filename()
2011-09-23lib: Remove message document directly after removing the last file name.Austin Clements
Previously, notmuch_database_remove_message would remove the message file name, sync the change to the message document, re-find the message document, and then delete it if there were no more file names. An interruption after sync'ing would result in a file-name-less, permanently un-removable zombie message that would produce errors and odd results in searches. We could wrap this in an atomic section, but it's much simpler to eliminate the round-about approach and just delete the message document instead of sync'ing it if we removed the last filename.
2011-09-23lib: Indicate if there are more filenames after removal.Austin Clements
Make _notmuch_message_remove_filename return NOTMUCH_STATUS_DUPLICATE_MESSAGE_ID if the message has more filenames and fix callers to handle this.
2011-09-12lib: Add missing status check in _notmuch_message_remove_filename.Austin Clements
Previously, this function would synchronize the folder list even if removing the file name failed. Now it returns immediately if removing the file name fails.
2011-06-29Fix folder: coherence issueMark Anderson
Add removal of all ZXFOLDER terms to removal of all XFOLDER terms for each message filename removal. The existing filename-list reindexing will put all the needed terms back in. Test search-folder-coherence now passes. Signed-off-by:Mark Anderson <ma.skies@gmail.com>

2011-05-11Mark some structures in the library interface with visibility=default attribute.Carl Worth
As of gcc 4.6, there are new warnings from -Wattributes along the lines of: warning: ‘_notmuch_messages’ declared with greater visibility than the type of its field ‘_notmuch_messages::iterator’ [-Wattributes] To squelch these, we decorate all such containing structs with __attribute__((visibility("default"))). We take care to let only the C++ compiler see this, (since the C compiler would otherwise warn about ignored visibility attributes on types).
2011-05-11Remove some variables which were set but not used.Carl Worth
gcc (at least as of version 4.6.0) is kind enough to point these out to us, (when given -Wunused-but-set-variable explicitly or implicitly via -Wunused or -Wall). One of these cases was a legitimately unused variable. Two were simply variables (named ignored) we were assigning only to squelch a warning about unused function return values. I don't seem to be getting those warnings even without setting the ignored variable. And the gcc docs. say that the correct way to squelch that warning is with a cast to (void) anyway.
2011-03-21Add the tag list to the unified message metadata pass.Austin Clements
Now each caller of notmuch_message_get_tags only gets a new iterator, instead of a whole new list. In principle this could cause problems with iterating while modifying tags, but through the magic of talloc references, we keep the old tag list alive even after the cache in the message object is invalidated. This reduces my index search from the 3.102 seconds before the unified metadata pass to 1.811 seconds (1.7X faster). Combined with the thread search optimization in b3caef1f0659dac8183441357c8fee500a940889, that makes this query 2.5X faster than when I started.
2011-03-21Add the file name list to the unified message metadata pass.Austin Clements
Even if the caller never uses the file names, there is little cost to simply fetching the file name terms. However, retrieving the full paths requires additional database work, so the expansion from terms to full paths is performed lazily. This also simplifies clearing the filename cache, since that's now handled by the generic metadata cache code. This further reduces my inbox search from 3.102 seconds before the unified metadata pass to 2.206 seconds (1.4X faster).
2011-03-21Add a generic function to get a list of terms with some prefix.Austin Clements
Replace _notmuch_convert_tags with this and simplify _create_filenames_for_terms_with_prefix. This will also come in handy shortly to get the message file name list.
2011-03-21Implement an internal generic string list and use it.Austin Clements
This replaces the guts of the filename list and tag list, making those interfaces simple iterators over the generic string list. The directory, message filename, and tags-related code now build generic string lists and then wraps them in specific iterators. The real wins come in later patches, when we use these for even more generic functionality. As a nice side-effect, this also eliminates the annoying dependency on GList in the tag list.
2011-03-21Use a single unified pass to fetch scalar message metadata.Austin Clements
This performs a single pass over a message's term list to fetch the thread ID, message ID, and reply-to, rather than requiring a pass for each. Xapian decompresses the term list anew for each iteration, so this reduces the amount of time spent decompressing message metadata. This reduces my inbox search from 3.102 seconds to 2.555 seconds (1.2X faster).
2011-01-26lib: Save and restore term position in message while indexing.Carl Worth
This fixes the recently addead search-position-overlap bug as demonstrated in the test of the same name.
2011-01-15Add support for folder-based searching.Carl Worth
A new "folder:" prefix in the query string can now be used to match the directories in which mail files are stored. The addition of this feature causes the recently added search-by-folder tests to now pass.
2011-01-15Correct some minor typos in a commentCarl Worth
Nothing too important here. Just some misspellings I noticed while reading nearby code.
2010-12-07Optimize thread search using matched docid sets.Austin Clements
This reduces thread search's 1+2t Xapian queries (where t is the number of matched threads) to 1+t queries and constructs exactly one notmuch_message_t for each message instead of 2 to 3. notmuch_query_search_threads eagerly fetches the docids of all messages matching the user query instead of lazily constructing message objects and fetching thread ID's from term lists. _notmuch_thread_create takes a seed docid and the set of all matched docids and uses a single Xapian query to expand this docid to its containing thread, using the matched docid set to determine which messages in the thread match the user query instead of using a second Xapian query. This reduces the amount of time required to load my inbox from 4.523 seconds to 3.025 seconds (1.5X faster).
2010-11-11lib: Fix missing initialization of status field.0.5Carl Worth
This could have been a problematic bug. Fortuinately "gcc -O2" warns about it.
2010-11-11lib: Add two missing static qualifiersCarl Worth
The debian packaging is nice enough to notice when we accidentally leak private symbols to the public interface.
2010-11-11tags_to_maildir_flags: Fix to preserve existing, unsupported flagsCarl Worth
This is to prevent notmuch from destroying any information the user has encoded as flags in the maildir filename. Tests are also added to the test suite to verify the documented behavior.
2010-11-11notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags: Do nothing outside of "new" and "cur"Carl Worth
Some people use notmuch with non-maildir files, (for example, email messages in MH format, or else cool things like using sluk[*] to suck down feeds into a format that notmuch can index). To better support uses like that, don't do any renaming for files that are not in a directory named either "new" or "cur". [*] https://github.com/krl/sluk/
2010-11-11notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags: Don't exit on failure to rename.Carl Worth
It is totally legitimate for a non-maildir directory to be named "new" (and not have a directory next to it named "cur"). To support this case at least, be silent about any rename failure.
2010-11-11notmuch_message_tags_to_maildir_flags: Fix to rename multiple filesCarl Worth
This function was documented as modifying every filename associated with the message. Fix it to actually do that.
