The test suite should run clean with this. This seems to be more reliable than valgrind.
* Test with clang.
* Test with clang. Pass `CC=clang CXX=clang++` to `./configure`.
* Check all open issues in the sourceforge trackers and on github.
* If any interfaces were added or changed, check C API to see whether changes are appropriate there as well. If necessary, review the casting policy in the manual, and ensure that integer types are properly handled.
* Avoid atoi. Use QUtil::string_to_int instead. It does overflow/underflow checking.

QPDF is much better at recovering from broken files. In most
cases, qpdf will skip invalid objects and will preserve
broken stream data by not attempting to filter broken
streams. QPDF is now able to recover or at least not crash
on dozens of broken test files I have received over the past
few years.
