The current implementation has three classes of flags:
- readFlag
- delFlag
- flaggedFlag
The logic to check for them should be in parallel if branches rather
than in sequential if-else ladder.
Adds an archive command that moves the current message into the folder
specified in the account config entry.
Supports three layouts at this point:
- flat: puts all messages next to each other
- year: creates a folder per year
- month: same as above, plus folders per month
This also adds a "-p" argument to "cp" and "mv" that works like
"--parents" on mkdir(1). We use this to auto-create the directories
for the archive layout.
This makes it so an atomic `invalid` value is used instead of an unbuffered
channel. When many invalidations kick in, a lot of values were sent to the
channel.
(Since OnInvalidate's callback can be run in any goroutine, we need to be
careful about races here.)
This commit introduces a new Aerc.Tick function that should be called to
refresh the internal state. This in turn makes each AccountView process worker
events.
The UI goroutine repeatedly refreshes the internal state before drawing a new
frame. The reason for this is that many worker messages may need to be
processed for a single frame, and drawing the UI is far slower than refreshing
the internal state. This has been confirmed in my testing (calling Aerc.Tick
only once per frame results in a slower display).
Many synchronization code has been removed. We can now write widgets without
having to care so much about races. The remaining sync users are:
- widgets/spinner: the spinner value is updated from inside an internal
goroutine
- lib/ui/invalidatable: Invalidate may be called from any goroutine
- lib/ui/grid: same
- lib/ui/ui: an internal goroutine needs read access to UI.exit
- worker/types/worker: Worker.callbacks is used for both worker and UI
callbacks
The exact goroutine requirements for Drawable have been documented.
This was is more complicated than others. The cells list is accessed by
multiple goroutines:
- Some change the Grid's contents via AddChild/RemoveChild
- Some call Draw
- Some invalidate the grid via Invalidate
Invalidate calls are tricky to handle because they will also invalidate all
child cells. This will inturn trigger the cellInvalidated callback, which needs
to read the list of cells.
For this reason, we use a sync.RWLock which allows multiple concurrent reads.
Below is the race fixed by this commit.

MessageStore has a lot of exported fields that can be read from the outside.
Each read must be protected, because a call from Update could happen at any
time.
Many Drawable implementations have their own Invalidate and OnInvalidate
functions, with an unexported onInvalidate field. However OnInvalidate and
Invalidate are usually not called in the same goroutine. This results in a race
on this field, e.g.:

To fix this, introduce a new type, Invalidatable, which protects the field.
Unfortunately the Drawable must be passed to the callback function in
Invalidate, so we still need to re-implement this in each Invalidatable user.
Fix a few potential out of bounds by placing proper checks, which should
be relevant if all tabs are removed for some reason.
Also avoid iterating all tabs in the invalidate handler, since we are
only interested in whether it's the selected tab either way
This is a simple mostly straight forward switch to tcell in favor of
termbox.
It uses the tcell native api (not the compat layer) but does not make
use of most features.
Further changes should include moving to tcell's views.TextArea and the
general built in widget behaviour instead of the current ad hoc
implementation.
