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.
Clarify that names are to appear in canonical form with PDF escaping
resolved when used in non-parsing QPDFObjectHandle APIs and their C
API counterparts. See https://github.com/qpdf/qpdf/discussions/625.
* 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
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.
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.
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.
