QPDFValueProxy wasn't a good name for it. We decided the evil of
having the header file be named QPDFObject_private.hh was less than
the evil of having the class be named something other than what it
should have been named.
I decided that it's actually fine to copy a direct object to another
QPDF. Even if we eventually prevent a QPDFObject from having multiple
parents, this could happen if an object is moved.
This is in preparation for restoring a QPDFObject.hh to ease the
transition on qpdf_object_type_e.
This commit was created by
* Renaming QPDFObject.cc and QPDFObject.hh
* Replacing QPDFObject\b with QPDFValueProxy (where \b is word
boundary)
* Running format-code
* Manually resorting files in libqpdf/CMakeLists.txt
* Manually refilling the comment in QPDF.hh near class Resolver
On destruction of the QPDF object replace all indirect object references
with direct nulls.
Remove all existing code to release resolved references.
Fixes performance issue due to interaction of resetting QPDFValue::qpdf and
og members and prior code.
Where not possible, use "auto" to get the iterator type.
Editorial note: I have avoid this change for a long time because of
not wanting to make gratuitous changes to version history, which can
obscure when certain changes were made, but with having recently
touched every single file to apply automatic code formatting and with
making several broad changes to the API, I decided it was time to take
the plunge and get rid of the older (pre-C++11) verbose iterator
syntax. The new code is just easier to read and understand, and in
many cases, it will be more effecient as fewer temporary copies are
being made.
m-holger, if you're reading, you can see that I've finally come
around. :-)
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.
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.
Significantly improve the code's use of off_t for file offsets, size_t
for memory sizes, and integer types in cases where there has to be
compatibility with external interfaces. Rework sections of the code
that would have prevented qpdf from working on files larger than 2 (or
maybe 4) GB in size.
