For optional parameter/choices, generate an overloaded config method
that takes no arguments. This makes it possible to convert from a bare
argument to one that takes an optional parameter without breaking
binary compatibility.
Changing from bool requiring true to string requiring the empty string
is more consistent with the CLI and makes it possible to add an
optional parameter or choices later without breaking compatibility.
Flatten everything to make it easier to map command-line flags to
json. The old structure was an illusion anyway because there was no
mechanism to enforce that things were in the right place. This also
helps with future flexibility.
The code was assuming everything was happening inside dictionaries.
Instead, make the dictionary key handler creatino explicit only when
iterating through dictionary keys.
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.
Since the functionality of argument parsing has moved into QPDFJob,
these classes no longer need to be public. Their methods still have to
be in the library's binary interface so they can be tested in libtests.
Why? The main methods that create them return smart pointers so that
users can initialize them when needed, which you can't do with
references. Returning pointers instead of references makes for a more
uniform interface.
Create QPDFJob_options.cc to hold API implementation functions.
Reorganize a little in preparation for moving public member variables
private and creating the real QPDFJob API that will be used by callers
as well as the argv/json initialization methods.
The previous commits have removed all references to memory from
QPDFArgParser from QPDFJob. This commit removes the constraint that
QPDFArgParser remain in scope. This is a prerequisite to allowing JSON
as an alternative way to initialize QPDFJob and to initialize it
directly using a public API.
This is used to generate a schema for the job json, which can't
contain `)"` because it breaks the R"(...)" syntax in C++. While C++
accepts R"anything(...)anything" to avoid this, as of this writing,
MSVC 2019 doesn't understand that. For now, just avoid it by removing
parentheses from the end of short help.
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.
Convert remaining static functions that take QPDFJob& as a parameter
to member functions. Utility functions that don't take QPDFJob& remain
static functions and can probably just stay that way since the keep
extra complexity out of QPDFJob.hh.
Remove remaining temporary duplication of hard-coded values and direct
access to std::cout, std::cerr, and whoami in favor of parameters in
QPDFJob. This moves a few more static methods into QPDFJob member
functions.
Remove all calls to exit() from QPDFJob. Handle code that runs in
verbose mode to enable it to make use of output streams and message
prefix (whoami) from QPDFJob. This removes temporarily duplicated exit
code logic and most access to whoami/std::cout outside of QPDFJob
proper.
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.
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
Don't assume endobj is at the beginning of the line. This means we are
looking at tokens for every line, but the odds of n n obj appearing in
the middle of the object are likely much lower than endobj not being
at the beginning of the line or missing entirely. This will probably
have a negative impact on recovery time for very large files.
Hopefully it will be worth it.
When making resources indirect in from_dr, the code was using the
wrong owning QPDF, forgetting that from_dr had already been copied
using CopyForeignObject.
When adding a QPDFObjectHandle to an array or dictionary, if possible,
check if the new object belongs to the same QPDF. This makes it much
easier to find incorrect code than waiting for the situation to be
detected when the file is written.
This was originally not public because I wanted to get rid fo the
pages cache, but I recently realized there were deep reasons not to do
that, and the author of pikepdf wanted this, so I decided to make it
public.
