makes for leaner Channel sections.
note: the global delete and expunge variables exist so the command line
can override the config file despite the otherwise backwards behavior.
the BODY[] item in the FETCH response corresponds to what we requested,
and its presence doesn't imply that it actually contains anything useful
- new messages may appear in the mailbox in addition to those we stored
ourselves, and these will obviously have no TUID.
the global timezone variable is glibc-specific.
so use timegm() instead of mktime() for the conversion.
as that is specific to the BSDs and glibc, provide a fallback.
amends 62a6099.
by putting the message propagation last, d3f634702 uncovered a
long-standing problem: we might have closed the source store before all
messages were propagated from it.
msgs_copied() was not checked at all, and msgs_flags_set() was doing it
wrong (sync_close() was not checked).
instead of trying to fix/extend the msgs_flags_set() model (ref-counting
and cancelation checking in lower-level functions, and return values to
propagate the status), place the refs/derefs around higher-level scopes
and do the checking only there. this is effectively simpler, and does
away with some obscure macros.
as the named boxes are the same on both sides, they logically make
sense only when the channel is in that mode anyway, which is the case
when using patterns.
we would see the recent timestamp of the creation and conclude that
something is going on, so we'd wait. this is obviously nonsense.
as we know that a freshly created mailbox is empty, simply skip the
message scan alltogether.
as we now don't actually start propagating new messages until all TUIDs
have been generated, it's sufficient to sync just once. this makes it
a cheap operation, so we can do it at SYNC_NORMAL level already.
sneaky change on the side: the wording of the man page is changed from
"outside any section" to "before any section" to get global options.
this is not entirely true ... the previously existing options behave as
before, while the two newcomers actually affect subsequent channels.
i.e., move it back. whatever the original reason was, it's now gone.
this order is way more natural, which allows us to remove the osrecadd
and S_DONE hacks.
this helps enormously on the first sync of a 100k message box with a
limit of 1k messages. it also happens to make the syncing idempotent.
in a few conditionals we now explicitly test for max_messages being
enabled, not smaxxuid != 0, as after the initial fetch with no important
messages smaxxuid is zero, but we still have to skip over 99k messages
in the above case.
previous sequence:
examine & propagate new => examine old => propagate old
new sequence:
examine new => examine old => propagate new => propagate old
this alone does not buy us much ...
we can bump the internal variable whereever convenient, but we cannot
log it until we know that all messages were copied, as otherwise we
could miss some new messages after an interruption. with the new
approach, interruption would merely cause some additonal traffic.
less code duplication, more logical order of issued driver commands
(especially after the next commit), and the "side effect" of letting the
message expiration code see those deletions if they are asynchronous.
the delay optimized the corner case of previously important but now
expired messages on the slave disappearing, either through an external
expunge or after a journal replay. no point in pessimizing the common
case.
the removed code would only ever trigger if a) we were after a journal
replay or b) something external expunged the expired messages - both are
corner cases not worth the extra code.
however, this means that the syncing code further down now needs to take
care of these zombies.
in the end, the normal cleanup will take care of all expired entries,
new and old.
