delay the creation of the new state and journal until there is actually
something interesting to write. this saves some cpu cycles and prolongs
ssd life a whee bit.
now that expiration order is determined by a single loop ordered by
far-side UIDs, it is no longer necessary to accurately track the highest
seen UID.
as a side effect, this fixes a problem reported (way too long ago) by
Yuri D'Elia: we failed to up newmaxuid for messages we produced
ourselves, so we would keep enumerating the same messages until we also
propagated externally generated messages from that mailbox - which might
have been never for the server side of archive/trash mailboxes.
we can do that, as unpaired near-side messages are ignored anyway.
this mildly changes expiration order, as near-side messages that
existed for a long time but were propagated much later will be expired
later. however, that has no practical relevance.
this is mostly theoretical, as at this point no updates to the message
list can have actually happened. but it's future-proof and consistent
with the near-side loop.
we already didn't propagate messages which would be instantly expunged
from the target, but failed to cancel propagations that were already
scheduled before we got interrupted. this matters a bit when the
resumption happens significantly later than the initial attempt, giving
the user time to mark messages on the source as deleted.
the 'pending' and 'skipped' sync record states are mutually exclusive
with having a complementary message, so there is no point in testing it
explicitly.
amends bd5fb6ff.
we need to pass a different "boundary" UID to driver_t::load_box() for
every OPEN_* flag that queries a partial range:
- OPEN_FIND refers to messages newer than all we know about
- OPEN_OLD_IDS refers to messages which are paired
- OPEN_{OLD,NEW}_SIZE refers to messages (not) above the committed
boundary of already propagated messages
we treated the 3rd like the 2nd, which was just wrong - the actual
boundary may be lower or higher, so we'd produce wrong results when
MaxSize was set and only one of New and ReNew was requested.
the underlying metaphor refers to an inhumane practice, so using it
casually is rightfully offensive to many people. it isn't even a
particularly apt metaphor, as it suggests a strict hierarchy that is
counter to mbsync's highly symmetrical mode of operation.
the far/near terminology has been chosen as the replacement, as it is a
natural fit for the push/pull terminology. on the downside, due to these
not being nouns, a few uses are a bit awkward, and several others had to
be amended to include 'side'. also, it's conceptually quite close to
remote/local, which matches the typical use case, but is maybe a bit too
suggestive of actually non-existing limitations.
the new f/n suffixes of the -C/-R/-X options clash with pre-existing
options, so direct concatenation of short options is even less practical
than before (some suffixes of -D already clashed), but doing that leads
to unreadable command lines anyway.
as with previous deprecations, all pre-existing command line and config
options keep working, but yield a warning. the state files are silently
upgraded.
... by making a lot of objects unsigned, and some signed.
casts which lose precision and change the sign in one go (ssize_t and
time_t to uint on LP64) are made explicit as well.
this does specifically *not* cover about a bazillion warnings about
size_t being shrunk to uint - these make no sense given the expected
data set size.
mostly ATTR_PRINTFLIKE(*, 0) for functions with a va_list argument.
also, one ATTR_NORETURN and one ATTR_UNUSED, both on functions.
also, an explicit suppression for a format string stored in a variable.
this is semantically cleaner, and fixes storing the flags in the rare
case that flags are not being synced and the target is not being
expunged, as in this case flags are queried only during the actual
propagation.
maildir supports a 'P' flag which denotes the fact that a message has
been 'passed' on (forwarded, bounced). notmuch syncs this to the
'passed' tag.
Per https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5788, IMAP has a user-defined flag
(keyword) '$Forwarded' that is supported by many servers and clients
these days. (Technically, one should check for '$Forwarded' in the
server response.)
Restructure mbsync's flag parser to accept keywords (flags starting with
'$') but still bail out on unknown system flags (flags starting with '\').
Support '$Forwarded' as a first keyword since it maps to maildir's 'P'
and needs to be sorted in between the system flags.

Mailbox driver flags are defined in several places. It is essential that
they are kept in sync, so mark them with the same string for easy
grepping with an alerting boiler plate.

empty strings were previously meaningless, and starting with 72c2d695a,
failure to handle them lead to bogus results when the IMAP hierarchy
separator is legitimately empty (when the server genuinely supports none
and none is manually configured). non-null can be asserted more cleanly
than null-or-non-empty, so change the api like that.
incidentally, this also removes the need to work around gcc's bogus
warning in -Os mode.
problem found by "Casper Ti. Vector" <caspervector@gmail.com>
the only legitimate "deviant" UID is zero, meaning "no message". this
can be futher qualified by additional flags in the sync record, rather
than using magic values for the UID. in fact, the zero UID (so far
meaning only "expunged") was already optionally qualifed with "expired".
as a side effect, driver->store_msg() now returns 0 instead of -2 for
unknown UIDs. this was a hack to avoid translating the value later
on, but it made the api horrible, and now it's superflous in the first
place.
do that by wrapping the actual stores into proxies.
the proxy driver's code is auto-generated from function templates, some
parameters, and the declarations of the driver functions themselves.
attempts to do it with CPP macros turned out to be a nightmare.
