Lexical
|
||||
=======
|
||||
|
||||
Consider rewriting the tokenizer. These are rough ideas at this point.
|
||||
I may or may not do this as described.
|
||||
|
||||
* Use flex. Generate them from ./autogen.sh and include them in the
|
||||
source package, but do not commit them.
|
||||
|
||||
* Make it possible to run the lexer (tokenizer) over a while file
|
||||
such that the following things would be possible:
|
||||
|
||||
* Rewrite fix-qdf in C++ so that there is no longer a runtime perl
|
||||
dependency
|
||||
|
||||
* Create a way to filter content streams that could be used to
|
||||
preserve the content stream exactly including spaces but also to
|
||||
do things like replace everything between a detected set of
|
||||
markers. This is to support form flattening. Ideally, it should
|
||||
be possible to use this programmatically on broken files.
|
||||
|
||||
* Make it possible to replace all strings in a file lexically even
|
||||
on badly broken files. Ideally this should work files that are
|
||||
lacking xref, have broken links, etc., and ideally it should work
|
||||
with encrypted files if possible. This should go through the
|
||||
streams and strings and replace them with fixed or random
|
||||
characters, preferably, but not necessarily, in a manner that
|
||||
works with fonts. One possibility would be to detect whether a
|
||||
string contains characters with normal encoding, and if so, use
|
||||
0x41. If the string uses character maps, use 0x01. The output
|
||||
should otherwise be unrelated to the input. This could be built
|
||||
after the filtering and tokenizer rewrite and should be done in a
|
||||
manner that takes advantage of the other lexical features. This
|
||||
sanitizer should also clear metadata and replace images.
