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 get() and use_count() instead. Add #define
NO_POINTERHOLDER_DEPRECATION to remove deprecation markers for these
only.
This commit also removes all deprecated PointerHolder API calls from
qpdf's code except in PointerHolder's test suite, which must continue
to test the deprecated APIs.
They have to be ot_* rather than qpdf_ot_* for compatibility.
* Different enumerated types are not assignment-compatible in C++, at
least with strict compiler settings
* While you can do `constexpr ot_xyz = ::qpdf_ot_xyz` in QPDFObject.hh to
make QPDFObject::ot_xyz work, QPDFObject::object_type_e::ot_xyz will
only work if the enumerated type names are the same.
* Handle error conditions that occur when using the object handle
interfaces. In the past, some exceptions were not correctly
converted to errors or warnings.
* Add more detailed information to qpdf-c.h
* Make it possible to work more explicitly with uninitialized objects
Use PointerHolder in several places where manually memory allocation
and deallocation were being used. This helps to protect against memory
leaks when exceptions are thrown in surprising places.
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.
Setting encryption permissions for R >= 3 set permission bits in
groups corresponding to menu options in Acrobat 5. The new API allows
the bits to be set individually.
QPDFObjectHandle::parseInternal now issues warnings instead of
throwing exceptions for all error conditions that it finds (except
internal logic errors) and has stronger recovery for things like
invalid tokens and malformed dictionaries. This should improve qpdf's
ability to recover from a wide range of broken files that currently
cause it to fail.
For non-encrypted files, determinstic ID generation uses file contents
instead of timestamp and file name. At a small runtime cost, this
enables generation of the same /ID if the same inputs are converted in
the same way multiple times.
