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
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.
All the coverage cases that used to be in qpdf.cc are now in
QPDFJob*.cc. It doesn't really matter, but better to follow the
convention of starting with the class that includes the coverage call.
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.
