2021-09-04lib: factor out query construction from regexpDavid Bremner
This will allow re-use of this code outside of the Xapian query parser.
2021-09-04lib/query: generalize exclude handling to s-expression queriesDavid Bremner
In fact most of the code path is in common, only the caching of terms in the query needs to be added for s-expression queries.
2021-09-04lib/parse-sexp: handle unprefixed terms.David Bremner
This is equivalent to adding the same field name "" for multiple prefixes in the Xapian query parser, but we have to explicitely construct the resulting query.
2021-09-04lib/parse-sexp: add '*' as syntactic sugar for '(starts-with "")'David Bremner
Users that insist on using a literal '*' as a tag, can continue to do so by quoting it when searching.
2021-09-04lib/parse-sexp: 'starts-with' wildcard searchesDavid Bremner
The many tests potentially overkill, but they could catch typos in the prefixes table. As a simplifying assumption, for now we assume a single argument to the wildcard operator, as this matches the Xapian semantics. The name 'starts-with' is chosen to emphasize the supported case of wildcards in currrent (1.4.x) Xapian.
2021-09-04lib/parse-sexp: add term prefix backed fieldsDavid Bremner
We use "boolean" to describe fields that should generate terms literally without stemming or phrase splitting. This terminology might not be ideal but it is already enshrined in notmuch-search-terms(7).
2021-09-04lib/parse-sexp: support phrase queries.David Bremner
Anything that is quoted or not purely word characters is considered a phrase. Phrases are not stemmed, because the stems do not have positional information in the database. It is less efficient to scan the term twice, but it avoids a second pass to add prefixes, so maybe it balances out. In any case, it seems unlikely query parsing is very often a bottleneck.
2021-09-04lib/parse-sexp: support subject fieldDavid Bremner
The broken tests are because we do not yet handle phrase searches.
2021-09-04lib/parse-sexp: support and, not, and or.David Bremner
All operations and (Xapian) fields will eventually have an entry in the prefixes table. The flags field is just a placeholder for now, but will eventually distinguish between various kinds of prefixes.
2021-09-04lib/parse-sexp: stem unquoted atomsDavid Bremner
This is somewhat less DWIM than the Xapian query parser, but it has the advantage of simplicity.
2021-09-04lib: leave stemmer object accessibleDavid Bremner
This enables using the same stemmer in both query parsers.
2021-09-04lib/parse-sexp: parse single terms and the empty list.David Bremner
There is not much of a parser here yet, but it already does some useful error reporting. Most functionality sketched in the documentation is not implemented yet; detailed documentation will follow with the implementation.
2021-09-04lib: add new status code for query syntax errors.David Bremner
This will help provide more meaningful error messages without special casing on the client side.
2021-09-04lib: define notmuch_query_create_with_syntaxDavid Bremner
Set the parsing syntax when the (notmuch) query object is created. Initially the library always returns a trivial query that matches all messages when using s-expression syntax. It seems better to select the syntax at query creation time because the lazy parsing is an implementation detail.
2021-09-04lib: split notmuch_query_createDavid Bremner
Most of the function will be re-usable when creating a query from an s-expression.
2021-09-04configure: optional library sfsexpDavid Bremner
The configure part is essentially the same as the other checks using pkg-config. Since the optional inclusion of this feature changes what options are available to the user, include it in the "built_with" pseudo-configuration keys.
2021-08-29lib: consider all instances of Delivered-To headerHannu Hartikainen
When using notmuch-reply and guessing the From: address from Delivered-To headers, I had the wrong address chosen today. This was because the messages from the notmuch list contain these headers in this order: Delivered-To: hannu.hartikainen@gmail.com ... Delivered-To: hannu@hrtk.in In my .notmuch-config I have the following configuration: primary_email=hannu@hrtk.in other_email=hannu.hartikainen@gmail.com;... Before this change, notmuch-reply would guess From: @gmail.com because that is the first Delivered-To header present. After the change, the primary address is chosen as I would expect.
2021-08-18Merge tag 'debian/0.32.3-1'David Bremner
notmuch release 0.32.3-1 for unstable (sid) [dgit] [dgit distro=debian no-split --quilt=linear]
2021-08-17lib/open: look in MAILDIR for database, as documented.David Bremner
This fixes the bug id:87bl9lx864.fsf@kisara.moe
2021-08-17lib: bump libnotmuch minor versionAustin Ray
Notmuch 0.32 corresponds to libnotmuch 5.4 as indicated by docstrings; however, the minor number wasn't bumped. Any libnotmuch downstream consumer using the LIBNOTMUCH_CHECK_VERSION macro to support multiple versions won't be able to access the new 5.4 functions. Signed-off-by: Austin Ray <austin@austinray.io>
2021-08-17lib: correct deprecated db open functions' docsAustin Ray
Both notmuch_database_open() and notmuch_database_open_verbose()'s documentation state they call notmuch_database_open_with_config() with config_path=NULL; however, their implementations pass an empty string. The empty string is the correct value to maintain their original behavior of not loading the user's configuration so their documentation is incorrect.
2021-06-27lib: update transaction documentationDavid Bremner
Partly this is to recognize the semantics we inherit from Xapian, partly to mention the new autocommit feature.
2021-06-27lib: autocommit after some number of completed transactionsDavid Bremner
This change addresses two known issues with large sets of changes to the database. The first is that as reported by Steven Allen [1], notmuch commits are not "flushed" when they complete, which means that if there is an open transaction when the database closes (or e.g. the program crashes) then all changes since the last commit will be discarded (nothing is irrecoverably lost for "notmuch new", as the indexing process just restarts next time it is run). This does not really "fix" the issue reported in [1]; that seems rather difficult given how transactions work in Xapian. On the other hand, with the default settings, this should mean one only loses less than a minutes worth of work. The second issue is the occasionally reported "storm" of disk writes when notmuch finishes. I don't yet have a test for this, but I think committing as we go should reduce the amount of work when finalizing the database. [1]: id:20151025210215.GA3754@stebalien.com
2021-06-27lib/config: add NOTMUCH_CONFIG_AUTOCOMMITDavid Bremner
This will be used to control how often atomic transactions are committed.
2021-06-27database/close: remove misleading code / commentDavid Bremner
Unfortunately, it doesn't make a difference if we call cancel_transaction or not, all uncommited changes are discarded if there is an open (unflushed) transaction.
2021-06-27lib/database: fix style mistake.David Bremner
The spacing of the declaration was wrong in ea30110.
2021-06-25Merge branch 'release'David Bremner
2021-06-25lib: write talloc report in notmuch_database_destroyDavid Bremner
Since most memory allocation is (ultimately) in the talloc context defined by a notmuch_database_t pointer, this gives a more complete view of memory still allocated at program shutdown. We also change the talloc report in notmuch.c to mode "a" to avoid clobbering the newly reported log.
2021-06-25lib/config: fix memory leakDavid Bremner
This commit fixes a small memory leak (per iterator restart) by actually using the talloc context intended to be blown away on restart.
2021-06-05lib/message: use passed database for error handlingDavid Bremner
'message' should always be initialized if we reach here, but in case it is not, we still want to be able to log an error message.
2021-06-05lib/{open,message}: make some internal functions staticDavid Bremner
They are not used outside their file, so being extern seems like an oversight
2021-05-23lib/thread: add common prefix to debug messages, join linesDavid Bremner
This will simplify filtering these message, e.g. in the test suite.
2021-05-22Merge branch 'release'David Bremner
2021-05-22lib/n_d_index_file: re-use thread-id of existing messageDavid Bremner
This prevents the message document getting multiple thread-id terms when there are multiple files with the same message-id. This change shifts some thread ids, requiring adjustments to other tests.
2021-05-15Merge branch 'release'David Bremner
2021-05-15lib/open: restore default database path of $HOME/mailDavid Bremner
Although this default worked for "notmuch config get", it didn't work most other places. Restore the previous functionality, with the wrinkle that XDG locations will shadow $HOME/mail if they exist. This fixes a bug reported by Jack Kamm in id:87eeefdc8b.fsf@gmail.com
2021-05-14lib/message: mark flag2tag as constDavid Bremner
This table is intended to be immutable
2021-05-14lib/generate_thread_id: move static buffer to notmuch_database_tDavid Bremner
Work towards the goal of concurrent access to different Xapian databases from the same process.
2021-05-13lib: make glib initialization thread-safeDavid Bremner
In principle this could be done without depending on C++11 features, but these features should be available since gcc 4.8.1, and this localized usage is easy to replace if it turns out to be problematic for portability.
2021-05-12lib/notmuch_database_reopen: reload some database metadataDavid Bremner
In some uses of reopen, new documents and threads maybe have been added, and e.g. compaction may have changed the uuid.
2021-05-10lib/config: expand relative paths when reading from databaseDavid Bremner
This makes the treatment of relative paths consistent between the database and config files.
2021-05-10lib/config: canonicalize paths relative to $HOME.David Bremner
Prior to 0.32, notmuch had the (undocumented) behaviour that it expanded a relative value of database.path with respect to $HOME. In 0.32 this was special cased for database.path but broken for database.mail_root, which causes problems for at least notmuch-new when database.path is set to a relative path. The change in T030-config.sh reflects a user visible, but hopefully harmless behaviour change; the expanded form of the paths will now be printed by notmuch config.
2021-04-24lib/config: remove early free in _get_email_from_passwd_fileDavid Bremner
This (obvious) bug was caused by cut&pasting the code from notmuch-config.c into the library and adding on a return at the end.
2021-04-24compat: rename {,notmuch_}canonicalize_file_nameĐoàn Trần Công Danh
When compat canonicalize_file_name was introduced, it was limited to C code only because it was used by C code only during that time. >From 5ec6fd4d, (lib/open: check for split configuration when creating database., 2021-02-16), lib/open.cc, which is C++, relies on the existent of canonicalize_file_name. However, we can't blindly enable canonicalize_file_name for C++ code, because different implementation has different additional signature for C++ and users can arbitrarily add -DHAVE_CANONICALIZE_FILE_NAME=0 to {C,CXX}FLAGS. Let's move our implementation into a util library. Helped-by: Tomi Ollila <tomi.ollila@iki.fi> Signed-off-by: Đoàn Trần Công Danh <congdanhqx@gmail.com>
2021-04-18lib/n_d_index_file: check return value from _n_m_add_filenameDavid Bremner
Ignoring this return value seems like a bad idea in general, and in particular it has been hiding one or more bugs related to handling long directory names.
2021-04-18lib: directly traverse postlists in _n_message_deleteDavid Bremner
This is intended to fix the slow behaviour of "notmuch new" (and possibly "notmuch reindex") when large numbers of files are deleted. The underlying issue [1] seems to be the Xapian glass backend spending a large amount of time in db.has_positions when running queries with large-ish amounts of unflushed changes. This commit removes two uses of Xapian queries [2], and replaces them with an approximation of what Xapian would do after optimizing the queries. This avoids the calls to has_positions (which are in any case un-needed because we are only using boolean terms here). [1] Thanks to "andres" on IRC for narrowing down the performance bottleneck. [2] Thanks to Olly Betts of Xapian fame for talking me a through a fix that does not require people to update Xapian.
2021-03-27lib: provide notmuch_config_pathDavid Bremner
Since the library searches in several locations for a config file, the caller does not know which of these is chosen in the usual case of passing NULL as a config file. This changes provides an API for the caller to retrieve the name of the config file chosen. It will be tested in a following commit.
2021-03-27CLI+lib: detect missing database in split configurations.David Bremner
Eventually we want to do all opening of databases in the top level (main function). This means that detection of missing databases needs to move out of subcommands. It also requires updating the library to use the new NO_DATABASE status code.
2021-03-27lib: add NOTMUCH_STATUS_NO_DATABASEDavid Bremner
This will allow more precise return values from various open related functions.
2021-03-27CLI/config: migrate notmuch_config_open to new configDavid Bremner
notmuch_config_open will be preserved in the medium term for use by the commands that are manipulating the config file directly (config and setup)
