* Makefile: Add automatic dependency tracking to the Makefile.Carl Worth2009-10-20
| | | | With this, I really don't miss anything from automake.
* notmuch: Fix setup so that accepting the default mail path works.Carl Worth2009-10-20
| | | | | | The recent change from GIOChannel to getline, (with a semantic change of the newline terminator now being included in the result that setup_command sees), broke this.
* message: Use g_hash_table_destroy instead of g_hash_table_unrefCarl Worth2009-10-20
| | | | | | | | | I'm trying to chase down 3 still-reachable pointers to glib hash tables. This change didn't help with that, but I think destroy might be a better semantic match for what I actually want. (It shouldn't matter though since I never take any additional references.)
* add_message: Fix memory leak of thread_ids GPtrArray.Carl Worth2009-10-20
| | | | | | | | | We were properly feeing this memory when the thread-ids list was not empty, but leaking it when it was. Thanks, of course, to valgrind along with the G_SLICE=always-malloc environment variable which makes leak checking with glib almost bearable.
* database.cc: Document better pieces of glib that we're using.Carl Worth2009-10-20
|
* message.c: Free leaked memory in notmuch_message objectCarl Worth2009-10-20
| | | | | | We were careful to free this memory when we finished parsing the headers, but we missed it for the case of closing the message without ever parsing all of the headers.
* notmuch: Use GNU libc getline() instead of glib GIOChannelCarl Worth2009-10-20
| | | | | Less reliance on glib is always nice for our memory-leak testing efforts.
* notmuch_database_open: Fix error message for file-not-found.Carl Worth2009-10-20
| | | | | | | | | I was incorrectly using the return value of stat (-1) instead of errno (ENOENT) to try to construct the error message here. Also, while we're here, reword the error message to not have "stat" in it, which in spite of what a Unix programmer will tell you, is not actually a word.
* Add some explanation about NOTMUCH_BASE to setup_command.Carl Worth2009-10-20
| | | | | | | Since we allow the user to enter a custom directory, we need to let the user know how to make this persistent. Of course, a better answer would be to take what the user entered and shove it into a ~/.notmuch-config file or so, but for now this will have to do.
* notmuch_database_create/open: Fix to handle NULL as documented.Carl Worth2009-10-20
| | | | | | | | | | | When documenting these functions I described support for a NOTMUCH_BASE environment variable to be consulted in the case of a NULL path. Only, I had forgotten to actually write the code. This code exists now, with a new, exported function: notmuch_database_default_path
* notmuch_message_get_header: Fix bogus return of NULL header.Carl Worth2009-10-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | A simple bug meant that the correct value was being inserted into the hash table, but a NULL value would be returned in some cases. (If the value was already in the hash table at the beginning of the call the the correct value would be returned, but if the function had to parse to reach it then it would return NULL.) This was tripping up the recently-added code to ignore messages with NULL From:, Subject:, and To: headers, (which is fortunate since otherwise the broken parsing might have stayed hidden for longer).
* notmuch: Revamp help message a bit.Carl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | | | The big update here is the addition of the dump and restore commands which are next on my list. Also, I've now come up with a syntax for documenting the arguments of sub-commands.
* notmuch: Ignore files that don't look like email messages.Carl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | | | | This is helpful for things like indexes that other mail programs may have left around. It also means we can make the initial instructions much easier, (the user need not worry about moving away auxiliary files from some other email program).
* Protect definition of _GNU_SOURCE.Carl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | | I was getting a duplicate definition of this from somewhere, so getting compiler warnings without this protection.
* Remove test programs, xapian-dump and notmuch-index-messageCarl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | These were just little tests while getting comfortable with GMime and xapian. I'll likely use pieces of these as notmuch continues, but for now let's not distract anyone looking at notmuch with these. And the code will live on in the history if I need to look at it.
* notmuch: Reword the progress report slightly.Carl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | | | I noticed this style during a recent Debian install and I liked how much less busy it is compared to what we had before, (while still telling the user everything she might want).
* Rework message parsing to use getline rather than mmap.Carl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | | | | The line-based parsing can be a bit awkward when wanting to peek ahead, (say, for folded header values), but it's so convenient to be able to trust that a string terminator exists on every line so it cleans up the code considerably.
* Don't hash headers we won't end up using.Carl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | Just saving a little work here.
* Document which pieces of glib we're still using.Carl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | | | | | Looks like we can copy in a hash-table implementation, (from cairo, say), and then a few _ascii_ functions from glib, (we'll need to switch a few current uses if things like isspace, etc. to locale- independent versions as well). So not too hard to free ourselves of glib for now, (until we add GMime back in later, of course).
* Hook up our fancy new notmuch_parse_date function.Carl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | | With all the de-glib-ification out of the way, we can now use it to allow for date-based sorting of Xapian search results.
* notmuch_parse_date: Handle a NULL date string gracefully.Carl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | | The obvious thing to do is to treat a missing date as the beginning of time. Also, remove a useless cast from another return of 0.
* date.c: Rename function to notmuch_parse_dateCarl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | | | | Now completing the process of making this function "our own". The documentation is deleted here, because we already have the documentation we want in notmuch-private.h.
* date.c: Add hard-coded definition of HAVE_TIMEZONECarl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | The original code expected this to be set by running configure. We'll just manually set it here for now. This isn't as portable as if we were doing some compile-time examination of the current system, but I don't need portability now. When someone comes along that wants to port notmuch to another system, they will already have all the #ifdefs in place and will simply need to add the appropriate machinery to set the defines.
* date.c: Don't use glib's slice allocator.Carl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change is gratuitous. For now, notmuch is still linking against glib, so I don't have any requirement to remove this, (unlike the last few changes where good taste really did require the changes). The motivation here is two-fold: 1. I'm considering switching away from all glib-based allocation soon so that I can more easily verify that the memory management is solid. I want valgrind to say "no leaks are possible" not "there is tons of memory still allocated, but probably reachable so who knows if there are leaks or not?". And glib seems to make that impossible. 2. I don't think there's anything performance-sensitive about the allocation here. (In fact, if there is, then the right answer would be to do this parsing without any allocation whatsoever.)
* date.c: Remove occurrences of gboolean.Carl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | While this is surely one of the most innocent typedefs, it still annoys me to have basic types like 'int' re-defined like this. It just makes it harder to copy the code between projects, with very little benefit in readability. For readability, predicate functions and variables should be obviously Boolean-natured by their actual *names*.
* date.c: Remove all occurrences of g_return_val_if_failCarl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | That's got to be one of the hardest macro names to read, ever, (it's phrased with an implicit negative in the condition, rather than something simple like "assert"). Plus, it's evil, since it's a macro with a return in it. And finally, it's actually *longer* than just typing "if" and "return". So what's the point of this ugly idiom?
* date.c: Keep the comments clean.Carl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | | Never know when the children might be reading over my shoulder, for example. :-)
* date.c: Change headers/defines t owork within notmuch.Carl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | | | We can't rely on any gmime-internal headers, (and fortunately we don't need to). We also aren't burdened with any autconf machinery so don't reference any of that.
* date.c: Remove a bunch of undesired code.Carl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | We're only interested in the date-parsing code here.
* date.c: Convert from LGPL-2+ to GPL-3+Carl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | As authorized by LGPL-2 term (3).
* date.c: Add new file directly from gmime2.4-2.4.6/gmime/gmime-utils.cCarl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | | | We're sucking in one gmime implementation file just to get the piece that parses an RFC 822 date, because I don't want to go through the pain of replicating that.
* notmuch: Switch from gmime to custom, ad-hoc parsing of headers.Carl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | Since we're currently just trying to stitch together In-Reply-To and References headers we don't need that much sophistication. It's when we later add full-text searching that GMime will be useful. So for now, even though my own code here is surely very buggy compared to GMime it's also a lot faster. And speed is what we're after for the initial index creation.
* notmuch: Ignore .notmuch when counting files.Carl Worth2009-10-19
| | | | | | We were correctly ignoring this when adding files, but not when doing the initial count. Clearly we need better code sharing here.
* notmuch: Start actually adding messages to the index.Carl Worth2009-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the beginning of the notmuch library as well, with its interface in notmuch.h. So far we've got create, open, close, and add_message (all with a notmuch_database prefix). The current add_message function has already been whittled down from what we have in notmuch-index-message to add only references, message-id, and thread-id to the index, (that is---just enough to do thread-linkage but nothing for full-text searching). The concept here is to do something quickly so that the user can get some data into notmuch and start using it. (The most interesting stuff is then thread-linkage and labels like inbox and unread.) We can defer the full-text indexing of the body of the messages for later, (such as in the background while the user is reading mail). The initial thread-stitching step is still slower than I would like. We may have to stop using libgmime for this step as its overhead is not worth it for the simple case of just parsing the message-id, references, and in-reply-to headers.
* xapian-dump: Rewrite to generate C code as output.Carl Worth2009-10-18
| | | | | | | This was for some time testing, (to see how fast xapian could be if we were strictly adding documents and not doing any other IO or computation). The answer is that xapian is quite fast, (on the order of 1000 documents per second).
* Start a new top-level executable: notmuch.Carl Worth2009-10-17
| | | | | | | Of course, there's not much that this program does yet. It's got some structure for some sub-commands that don't do anything. And it has a main command that prints some explanatory text and then counts all the regular files in your mail archive.
* Fix more memory leaks.Carl Worth2009-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | These were more significant than the previous leak because these were in the loop and leaking memory for every message being parsed. It turns out that g_hash_table_new should probably be named g_hash_table_new_and_leak_memory_please. The actually useful function is g_hash_table_new_full which lets us pass a free function, (to free keys when inserting duplicates into the hash table). And after all, weeding out duplicates is the only reason we are using this hash table in the first place. It almost goes without saying, valgrind found these leaks.
* Fix a one-time memory leak.Carl Worth2009-10-16
| | | | | | | | This was a single object in main outside any loops, so there was no impact on performance or anything, but obviously we still want to patch this. Of course, valgrind gets the credit for seeing this.
* Avoid reading a byte just before our allocated buffer.Carl Worth2009-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | When looking for a trailing ':' to introduce a quotation we peek at the last character before a newline. But for blank lines, that's not where we want to look. And when the first line in our buffer is a blank line, we're underrunning our buffer. The fix is easy---just bail early on blank lines since they have no terms anyway. Thanks to valgrind for pointing out this error.
* Generate random thread IDs instead of using an arbitrary Message-ID.Carl Worth2009-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | Previously, we used as the thread-id the message-id of the first message in the thread that we happened to find. In fact, this is a totally arbitrary identifier, so it might as well be random. And an advantage of actually using a random identifier is that we now have fixed-length thead identifiers, (and the way is open to even allow abbreviated identifiers like git does---though we're less likely to show these identifiers to actual users).
* Change progress report to show "instantaneous" rate. Also print total time.Carl Worth2009-10-15
| | | | | | | | Instead of always showing the overall rate, we wait until the end to show that. Then, on incremental updates we show the rate over the last increment. This makes it much easier to actually watch what's happening, (and it's easy to see the efect of xapian's internal 10,000 document flush).

* Walk address groups and parse each address separatelyKeith Packard2009-10-14
| | | | Signed-off-by: Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com>
* Reduce the verbosity of the progress indicator.Carl Worth2009-10-14
| | | | It's fast enough that we can wait for 1000 messages before updating.
* Add support for message-part mime parts.Carl Worth2009-10-14
| | | | | | We could (and probably should) reparse and index all the headers from the embedded message, but I'm not choosing to do that now---I'm just indexing the body of the embedded message.
* Avoid segfault on message with no subject.Carl Worth2009-10-14
| | | | | It's fun how turning a program loose on 500,000 messages will find lots of littel corner cases.
* Add some sort of progress indicator.Carl Worth2009-10-14
| | | | It's nice to let the user know that something is happening.
* Avoid complaints about messages with empty mime parts.Carl Worth2009-10-14

* Avoid complaints about empty address lists.Carl Worth2009-10-14
|
* Document the little details separating the sup and notmuch indexes.Carl Worth2009-10-14
| | | | | | | | As can be seen here, there are not a lot of differences. I've verified this by using sup-sync to import a month of mail from the sup mailing list, and comparing the database term-by-term, value-by-value, and data-by-data with that created by notmuch. There are no differences other than those documented here.
