Subject: [PATCH 3/3] lib/message: move xapian call inside try/catch block in _n_m_delete
Date: Sat,  3 Dec 2022 22:28:57 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221204022857.1551514-4-david@tethera.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221204022857.1551514-1-david@tethera.net>

The call to delete_document can throw exceptions (and can happen in
practice [1]), so catch the exception and extract the error
message. As a side effect, also move the call to _n_m_has_term inside
the try/catch. This should not change anything as that function
already traps any Xapian exceptions.
