In the long run we should maybe outsource hash computations to e.g. librhash, but I'd like a simpler fix for 0.17, if possible P.S. I blame Austin for adding the "missing-headers" test which found this bug ;). /* 8<----------------------------------------- */ #include #include "notmuch.h" char * notmuch_sha1_of_file(const char* filename); int main (int argc, char **argv) { char *digest = notmuch_sha1_of_file (argv[1]); printf("%s %s\n",digest,argv[1]); return 0; }
