The executables that libtool built invoked the underlying binary with
an "lt-" prefix. The code contained numerous workarounds for testing,
which can now be removed.
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.
This makes all integer type conversions that have potential data loss
explicit with calls that do range checks and raise an exception. After
this commit, qpdf builds with no warnings when -Wsign-conversion
-Wconversion is used with gcc or clang or when -W3 -Wd4800 is used
with MSVC. This significantly reduces the likelihood of potential
crashes from bogus integer values.
There are some parts of the code that take int when they should take
size_t or an offset. Such places would make qpdf not support files
with more than 2^31 of something that usually wouldn't be so large. In
the event that such a file shows up and is valid, at least qpdf would
raise an error in the right spot so the issue could be legitimately
addressed rather than failing in some weird way because of a silent
overflow condition.
This commit adds several API methods that enable control over which
types of filters QPDF will attempt to decode. It also adds support for
/RunLengthDecode and /DCTDecode filters for both encoding and
decoding.
If NO_GET_ENVIRONMENT is #defined at compile time on Windows, do not
call GetEnvironmentVariable. QUtil::get_env will always return
false. This option is not available through configure. This was
added to support a specific user's requirements to avoid calling
GetEnvironmentVariable from the Windows API. Nothing in qpdf outside
the test coverage system in qtest relies on QUtil::get_env.
Breaking API change: length parameter has disappeared from the
StreamDataProvider version of QPDFObjectHandle::replaceStreamData
since it is no longer necessary to compute it in advance. This
breaking change is justified by the fact that removing the length
parameter provides the caller an opportunity to simplify the calling
code.
