+ Fix checking a single table - changes in 1.4.2 broke such checks unless you specified the table without any extension.
+ Errors from failing to find the file specified are now thrown as DatabaseOpeningError (was DatabaseError, of which DatabaseOpeningError is a subclass so existing code should continue to work). Also improved the error message when the file doesn't exist is better.
Drop OP_SCALE_WEIGHT over OP_VALUE_RANGE, OP_VALUE_GE and OP_VALUE_LE in the
Query constructor. These operators always return weight 0 so OP_SCALE_WEIGHT
over them has no effect. Eliminating it at query construction time is cheap
(we only need to check the type of the subquery), eliminates the confusing
"0 * " from the query description, and means the OP_SCALE_WEIGHT Query object
can be released sooner. Inspired by Shivanshu Chauhan asking about the query
description on IRC.
Drop OP_SCALE_WEIGHT on the right side of OP_AND_NOT in the Query
constructor. OP_AND_NOT takes no weight from the right so OP_SCALE_WEIGHT
has no effect there. Eliminating it at query construction time is cheap
(just need to check the subquery's type), eliminates the confusing "0 * "
from the query description, and means the OP_SCALE_WEIGHT object can be
released sooner.
testsuite:
Add more tests of Database::check(). Fixes #238, reported by Richard
Boulton.
Make apitest testcase nosuchdb1 fail if we manage to open the DB.
Skip testcases which throw NetworkError with errno value ECHILD - this
indicates system resource starvation rather than a Xapian bug. Such failures
are seen on Debian buildds from time to time, see:
https://bugs.debian.org/681941
matcher:
Fix incorrect results due to uninitialised memory. The array holding max
weight values in MultiAndPostList is never initialised if the operator is
unweighted, but the values are still used to calculate the max weight to pass
to subqueries, leading to incorrect results. This can be observed with an OR
under an unweighted AND (e.g. OR under AND on the right side of AND_NOT).
The fix applied is to simply default initialise this array, which should lead
to a max weight of 0.0 being passed on to subqueries. Bug reported in
notmuch by Kirill A. Shutemov, and forwarded by David Bremner.
documentation:
Correct "Query::feature_flag" -> "QueryParser::feature_flag". Fixes #747,
reported by James Aylett.
Rename set_metadata() value parameter to metadata. This change is
particularly motivated by making it easier to map this case specially in SWIG
bindings, but the new name is also clearer and better documents its purpose.
Rename value range parameters. The new names (range_limit instead of
limit, range_lower instead of begin and range_upper instead of end)
are particularly motivated by making it easier to map them specially in SWIG
bindings, but they're also clearer names which better document their
purposes.
Change "(key, tag)" to "(key, value)" in user metadata docs. The user
metadata is essentially what's often called a "key-value store" so users
are likely to be familiar with that terminology.
Consistently name parameter of Weight::unserialise() overridden forms.
In xapian/weight.h it was almost always named serialised, but LMWeight
named it s and CoordWeight omitted the name.
Fix various minor documentation comment typos.
portability:
Fix configure probe for builtin_exp10() to work around bug on mingw - there
GCC generates a call to exp10() for builtin_exp10() but there is no exp10()
function in the C library, so we get a link failure. Use a full link test
instead to avoid this issue. Reported by Mario Emmenlauer on xapian-devel.
Fix configure probe for log2() which was failing on at least some platforms
due to ambiguity between overloaded forms of log2(). Make the probe
explicitly check for log2(double) to avoid this problem.
Workaround the unhelpful semantics of AI_ADDRCONFIG on platforms which follow
the old RFC instead of POSIX (such as Linux) - if only loopback networking is
configured, localhost won't resolve by name or IP address, which causes
testsuites using the remote backend over localhost to fail in auto-build
environments which deliberately disable networking during builds. The
workaround implemented is to check if the hostname is "::1", "127.0.0.1" or
"localhost" and disable AI_ADDRCONFIG for these. This doesn't catch all
possible ways to specify localhost, but should catch all the ways these might
be specified in a testsuite. Fixes https://bugs.debian.org/853107, reported
by Daniel Schepler and the root cause uncovered by James Clarke.
debug code:
Adjust assertion in InMemoryPostList. Calling skip_to() is fine when the
postlist hasn't been started yet (but the assertion was failing for a term
not in the database). Latent bug, triggered by testcases complexphrase1 and
complexnear1 as updated for addition of support for OP_OR subqueries of
OP_PHRASE/OP_NEAR.
