This comment expands all tabs using an 8-character tab-width. You
should ignore this commit when using git blame or use git blame -w.
In the early days, I used to use tabs where possible for indentation,
since emacs did this automatically. In recent years, I have switched
to only using spaces, which means qpdf source code has been a mixture
of spaces and tabs. I have avoided cleaning this up because of not
wanting gratuitous whitespaces change to cloud the output of git
blame, but I changed my mind after discussing with users who view qpdf
source code in editors/IDEs that have other tab widths by default and
in light of the fact that I am planning to start applying automatic
code formatting soon.
* Use unique_ptr in place of shared_ptr in some cases
* unique_ptr for arrays does not require a custom deleter
* use std::make_unique (c++14) where possible
If some keys depend on others, we have to check up front since there
is no control of what order key handlers will be called. Anyway, keys
are unordered in json, so we don't want to depend on ordering.
This is a massive rewrite of the help text and cli.rst section of the
manual. All command-line flags now have their own help and are
specifically index. qpdf --help is completely redone.
Handle optional choices in addition to required choices. Refactor the
way help options are added to completion to make it work with optional
help choices.
Create a computationally and memory efficient implementation of name
and number trees that does binary searches as intended by the data
structure rather than loading into a map, which can use a great deal
of memory and can be very slow.
If QPDF_CRYPTO_PROVIDER is set, just run the tests for the given
provider. This is to support cases of running the entire test suite
for each provider. If QPDF_CRYPTO_PROVIDER is not set, run the tests
that exercise the cyrpto provider for each available provider.
Have classes contain only a single private member of type
PointerHolder<Members>. This makes it safe to change the structure of
the Members class without breaking binary compatibility. Many of the
classes already follow this pattern quite successfully. This brings in
the rest of the class that are part of the public API.
This makes all integer type conversions that have potential data loss
explicit with calls that do range checks and raise an exception. After
this commit, qpdf builds with no warnings when -Wsign-conversion
-Wconversion is used with gcc or clang or when -W3 -Wd4800 is used
with MSVC. This significantly reduces the likelihood of potential
crashes from bogus integer values.
There are some parts of the code that take int when they should take
size_t or an offset. Such places would make qpdf not support files
with more than 2^31 of something that usually wouldn't be so large. In
the event that such a file shows up and is valid, at least qpdf would
raise an error in the right spot so the issue could be legitimately
addressed rather than failing in some weird way because of a silent
overflow condition.
