I have been using notmuch for a while and I wanted to be able to use notmuch queries in some Tcl stuff I have been using for a rather longer while. I could have just called the notmuch CLI every time, but I thought "no, it's a library, there should be bindings". Bindings made me think of SWIG, which seems to have been tried for notmuch in the past but abandoned. However, with some time available... ... I can now, from Tcl, use the API functions from the library to create a database, close and open it, add messages, tag them, run queries and retrieve information about the results. I haven't tested every API function yet, but I will be able to go on with my own needs at least. It is only functions with pointer-to-pointer arguments that need special attention, and that is all in the SWIG interface file. You can see that at http://chiselapp.com/user/emj/repository/tclnotmuch/artifact/527aee944d?txt=1&ln=0 - its about 50 lines (plus some blanks). That's a Fossil repository, with a home page at http://chiselapp.com/user/emj/repository/tclnotmuch , if anyone wants to look further. I think it may benefit from more wrapping from the Tcl side, just for usability. BTW, I have no idea if or how the interface file would have to be changed for other languages. Eric -- ms fnd in a lbry
