I had some ideas about some more convenience methods from discussions
with some developers, but I decided that the newly added ones cover
most of the use cases. The other ideas were too hard to explain
clearly and therefore too specialized to put into the public API,
where I would have to support them for a long time.
Character transcoding from Unicode to single-byte characters used
hard-coded switch statements because the code predated our adoption of
C++11. Now we have thread-safe, static initialization of map literals,
so use that instead.
* Change DLL_EXPORT to libqpdf_EXPORTS (internal to the build). The
new name is cmake's default, is more conventional, and is less
likely to clash with other symbols.
* Add QPDF_DLL_PRIVATE for non-Windows
* Make logic around when to define QPDF_DLL et al more explicit
* Add detailed comments
Prior to the cmake conversion, several private classes had methods
that were exported into the shared library so they could be tested
with libtests. With cmake, we build libtests using an object library,
so this is no longer necessary. The methods that are disappearing from
the ABI were never exposed through public headers, so no code should
be using them. Removal had to wait until the window for ABI-breaking
changes was open.
Add comments to force line breaks, parenthesize function arguments
that are contatenated strings, etc. -- these kinds of changes improve
clang-format's results and also cause emacs cc-mode to match
clang-format. After this type of change, most of the time, when
clang-format and emacs disagree, clang-format is better.
* 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.
QPDFObjectHandle gets copied a lot, so let's not add another field.
For performance reasons, QPDFObjectHandle does not indirect through a
smart pointer, so this would also be an ABI change.
At one time, it seems that I was starting to use the <firstterm>
feature of docbook, but I forgot about it long ago, and there is
nothing consistent. In the absence of an actual glossary, just use
emphasis for terminology and don't tag it in any special way. This
could be fixed later if we wanted to.
:option: is stronger and assumes a reference to a list of options.
Since we don't have that yet, just use :samp: for options. Inside
literal code blocks, there is no expansion, so just remove markup.
Also remove linearization from qpdf-manual.pdf. It's a small file, and
removing the dependency on the qpdf executable significantly shortens
build times.
We were using SGML entities for various non-ASCII characters so they
could convert properly for both HTML and print, but this is no longer
necessary as we move from docbook to RST, so just replace them. Note
that the conversions done by sphinx automatically handle "smart
quotes", so it works to just use regular quotes in place of &LDQUO;
and &RDQUO;.
With docbook, this was not converted properly in the PDF version, but
since we are moving out of docbook, we can just put the Unicode
character in the source.
The impact on the code would be extremely high, and using it would
clutter the code greatly because it would break chaining like
a.getKey("/B").getKey("/C"). There are better ways to deal with the
issue.
Operations that add the same object to multiple places in the pages
tree are throwing exceptions and then later causing assertion
failures. The assert calls shouldn't be there.
Converted ResourceFinder to ParserCallbacks so we can better detect
the name that precedes various operators and use the operators to sort
the names into resource types. This enables us to be smarter about
detecting unreferenced resources in pages and also sets the stage for
reconciling differences in /DR across documents.
I thought /EFF was supposed to be used as a default for decrypting
embedded file streams, but actually it's supposed to be advice to a
conforming writer about handling new ones. This makes sense since the
findAttachmentStreams code, which is not actually needed, was never
right.
Avoid calling finish() multiple times on the pipeline passed to
pipeContentStreams. This commit also fixes a bug in which qpdf was not
exiting with the proper exit status if warnings found while splitting
pages; this was exposed by a test case that changed.
Make some more methods in QPDFPageObjectHelper work with form
XObjects, provide forEach methods to walk through nested form
XObjects, possibly recursively. This should make it easier to work
with form XObjects from user code.
External libraries for Windows are now built automatically in the
qpdf/external-libs repository and include openssl in addition to zlib
and jpeg. Use these, and update the Windows build to build with the
openssl crypto provider by default. We leave the native crypto
provider enabled in case there is a problem with openssl and also to
continue to exercise that code.
