Subject: [PATCH] notmuch-new: Check for non-fatal errors from stat()
Date: Fri, 27 Nov 2009 13:50:11 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1259329811-6393-1-git-send-email-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87einkqeyt.fsf@yoom.home.cworth.org>

Currently we assume that all errors on stat() a dname is fatal (but
continue anyway and report the error at the end). However, some errors
reported by stat() such as a missing file or insufficient privilege,
we can simply ignore and skip the file. For the others, such as a fault
(unlikely!) or out-of-memory, we handle like the other fatal errors by
jumping to the end.
