Using `impl AsRef<str>` as the argument instead of `&str` makes it
possible to call the function with `&str`, `String` and other types
that implement `AsRef` trait.
The cost of it is that compiled binary contains mulitple versions of
the same function, one for each variant of types. If function contains
multiple generic `impl AsRef` arguments, the number of versions possibly
compiled into binary grows exponentially with the number of arguments.
Simple way to avoid it is to call `.as_ref()` on the caller side to
convert the argument to `&str`. In most cases even adding a `&` and
relying on `Deref` coercion is sufficient.
This patch changes many functions that accepted `impl AsRef<str>` and
`impl AsRef<Path>` to accept `&str` and `&Path` instead.
In some places `.clone()` calls are removed. Calling `.clone()` on
`String` and passing `String` to a function accepting `impl
AsRef<str>` is completely unnecessary as `&str` reference could be
passed instead. There is no clippy warning against it yet, but
changing argument type to `&str` allowed to find these cases.
The result of debloating is not impressive, several hundred kilobytes
are saved, which is about 3% of the `.so` binary, but the code is
cleaner too.
LoginParamNew structure, which contained possible IMAP and SMTP
configurations to try is replaced with uniform vectors of ServerParams
structures. These vectors are initialized from provider database, online
Mozilla or Outlook XML configuration or user entered parameters.
During configuration, vectors of ServerParams are expanded to replace
unknown values with all possible variants, which are tried one by one
until configuration succeeds or all variants for a particular protocol
(IMAP or SMTP) are exhausted.
ServerParams structure is moved into configure submodule, and all
dependencies on it outside of this submodule are removed.
Previously, logging macros (info! warn! error!) accepted integer
argument (data1), that was passed to callback function verbatim. In all
call sites this argument was 0.
With this change, that data1 argument is no longer part of macro
interface, 0 is always passed to callback in internals of these macros.
