One question, what type is libnotmuch really returning here? The code:


time_t
notmuch_message_get_date (notmuch_message_t *message)
{   ...
    return Xapian::sortable_unserialise (value);
}

But Xapian API says that sortable_unserialise() returns floating type "double"

http://xapian.org/docs/apidoc/html/namespaceXapian.html#326fe2d6b0ee59ac9536f3960e8fd99b
"Convert a string encoded using sortable_serialise back to a floating
point number."

But time_t is usually a (signed) long and not floating point. Obviously
things have worked just fine so far, but is libnotmuch really returning
the right type here? Sorry, I expose my total lack of basic C++ knowledge
here...
