From 70962fabf9c57cda5af26c28894fc9371fd085f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carl Worth Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:47:24 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] lib/messages.c: Make message searches stream as well. Xapian provides an interator-based interface to all search results. So it was natural to make notmuch_messages_t be iterator-based as well. Which we did originally. But we ran into a problem when we added two APIs, (_get_replies and _get_toplevel_messages), that want to return a messages iterator that's *not* based on a Xapian search result. My original compromise was to use notmuch_message_list_t as the basis for all returned messages iterators in the public interface. This had the problem of introducing extra latency at the beginning of a search for messages, (the call would block while iterating over all results from Xapian, converting to a message list). In this commit, we remove that initial conversion and instead provide two alternate implementations of notmuch_messages_t (one on top of a Xapian iterator and one on top of a message list). With this change, I tested a "notmuch search" returning *many* results as previously taking about 7 seconds before results started appearing, and now taking only 2 seconds. --- lib/messages.c | 37 +++++++++++---- lib/notmuch-private.h | 20 ++++++++ lib/query.cc | 104 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- 3 files changed, 130 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/messages.c b/lib/messages.c index 2f7c283e..54c0ab07 100644 --- a/lib/messages.c +++ b/lib/messages.c @@ -20,13 +20,6 @@ #include "notmuch-private.h" -#include /* GList */ - - -struct _notmuch_messages { - notmuch_message_node_t *iterator; -}; - /* Create a new notmuch_message_list_t object, with 'ctx' as its * talloc owner. * @@ -85,20 +78,45 @@ _notmuch_messages_create (notmuch_message_list_t *list) if (unlikely (messages == NULL)) return NULL; + messages->is_of_list_type = TRUE; messages->iterator = list->head; return messages; } +/* We're using the "is_of_type_list" to conditionally defer to the + * notmuch_mset_messages_t implementation of notmuch_messages_t in + * query.cc.
