[PATCH] lib: add new status reporting API for notmuch_query_search_{m,t}

David Bremner david at tethera.net
Mon Jan 19 23:53:41 PST 2015


This at least allows distinguishing between out of memory and Xapian
exceptions. Adding finer grained status codes would allow different
Xapian exceptions to be preserved.

Adding wrappers allows people to transition gradually to the new API,
at the cost of bloating the library API a bit.
