+minimally these two assignments to list->iterator should be right next\r
+to each other, with a comment explaining what the heck. But I think the\r
+following is more idiomatic\r
+\r
+- /* force copying onto the heap */\r
+- list->iterator = new Xapian::TermIterator;\r
+- *list->iterator = notmuch->xapian_db->metadata_keys_begin (CONFIG_PREFIX + (prefix ? prefix : ""));\r
++ list->iterator = new Xapian::TermIterator(notmuch->xapian_db->metadata_keys_begin\r
++ (CONFIG_PREFIX + (prefix ? prefix : "")));\r
+\r
+so that's what I've done in git\r
