The executables that libtool built invoked the underlying binary with
an "lt-" prefix. The code contained numerous workarounds for testing,
which can now be removed.
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
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.
Move ArgParser from qpdf.cc into QPDFJob.cc. It still works with
millions of public member variables, but now qpdf.cc is minimal and
just calls stable library functions.
Move most of the methods called from qpdf.cc after argument parsing
into QPDFJob. In this increment, enough QPDFJob API has been added to
handle the branch of QPDFJob::run() that creates output with an
appropriate division between qpdf.cc and QPDFJob.
There are temporary bits of code to enable everything to compile and
pass the test suite, including some duplication and hard-coded values.
