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.
Instead of calling assert for problems found during checking
linearization data, throw an exception which is later caught and
issued as an error. Ideally we would handle errors more robustly, but
this is still a significant improvement.
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.
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.
Significantly improve the code's use of off_t for file offsets, size_t
for memory sizes, and integer types in cases where there has to be
compatibility with external interfaces. Rework sections of the code
that would have prevented qpdf from working on files larger than 2 (or
maybe 4) GB in size.
Fix libtests test suites to pass on Windows, mostly by dealing with
ascii vs. binary and NL vs. CRNL change ($td->NORMALIZE_NEWLINES).
Convert some test suites to use fread instead of read.
PCRE.hh: define PCRE_STATIC if on Windows.
Provide cross-platform function for getting current time instead of
using time(0).
