Ideally, the library should never call assert outside of test code,
but it does in several places. For some cases where the assertion
might conceivably fail because of a problem with the input data,
replace assertions with exceptions so that they can be trapped by the
calling application. This commit surely misses some cases and
replaced some cases unnecessarily, but it should still be an
improvement.
In places where std::vector<T>(size_t) was used, either validate that
the size parameter is sane or refactor code to avoid the need to
pre-allocate the vector.
The /W array was not sanitized, possibly causing an integer overflow
in a multiplication. An analysis of the code suggests that there were
no possible exploits based on this since the problems were in checking
expected values but bounds checks were performed on actual values.
4.2.0 was binary incompatible in spite of there being no deletions or
changes to any public methods. As such, we have to bump the ABI and
are fixing some API breakage while we're at it.
Previous 4.3.0 target is now 5.1.0.
Space rather than newline after xref, missing /ID in trailer for
encrypted file. This enables qpdf to handle some files that xpdf can
handle. Adobe reader can't necessarily handle them.
Rework QPDFWriter to always track old object IDs and QPDFObjGen
instead of int, thus not discarding the generation number. Switch to
QPDF::getCompressibleObjGen() to properly handle the case of an old
object eligible for compression that has a generation of other than
zero.
Versions prior to 4.6 didn't allow gcc diagnostic pragmas with push
and pop and to appear anywhere in the file. Just let the warning be
there for those versions.
Remove const qualifier from getTypeCode and get getTypeName methods of
QPDFObjectHandle, make them work properly for indirect objects, and
exercise them much better in the test suite.
Put a specific comment marker next to every piece of code that MSVC
gives warning 4996 for. This warning is generated for calls to
functions that Microsoft considers insecure or deprecated. This
change is in preparation for fixing all these cases even though none
of them are actually incorrect or insecure as used in qpdf. The
comment marker makes them easier to find so they can be fixed in
subsequent commits.
Fix exit status for case of errors without warnings, continue after
errors when possible, add test case for parsing a file with content
stream errors on some but not all pages.
Change object type Keyword to Operator, and place the order of the
object types in object_type_e in the same order as they are mentioned
in the PDF specification.
Note that this change only breaks backward compatibility with code
that has not yet been released.
