Remove unnecessary parameters.
Remove code that is unnecessary as result of a prior call to QPDF::getAllPages.
Avoid clearing and rebuilding of m->all_pages.
We need to know whether pushInheritedAttributesToPage or getAllPages
have been called when generating JSON output. When reading the JSON
back in, we have to call the same methods so that object numbers will
line up properly.
Where not possible, use "auto" to get the iterator type.
Editorial note: I have avoid this change for a long time because of
not wanting to make gratuitous changes to version history, which can
obscure when certain changes were made, but with having recently
touched every single file to apply automatic code formatting and with
making several broad changes to the API, I decided it was time to take
the plunge and get rid of the older (pre-C++11) verbose iterator
syntax. The new code is just easier to read and understand, and in
many cases, it will be more effecient as fewer temporary copies are
being made.
m-holger, if you're reading, you can see that I've finally come
around. :-)
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.
* Several assertions in linearization were not always true; change
them to run time errors
* Handle a few cases of uninitialized objects
* Handle pages with no contents when doing form operations
* Handle invalid page tree nodes when traversing pages
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.
When linearizing a file or getting the list of all pages in a file,
detect if the pages tree contains a duplicated page object and, if so,
shallow copy it. This makes it possible to have a one to one mapping
of page positions to page objects.
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.
Pushing inherited objects to pages and getting all pages were both
prone to stack overflow infinite loops if there were loops in the
Pages dictionary. There is a general weakness in the code in that any
part of the code that traverses the Pages structure would be prone to
this and would have to implement its own loop detection. A more robust
fix may provide some general method for handling the Pages structure,
but it's probably not worth doing.
Note: addition of *Internal2 private functions was done rather than
changing signatures of existing methods to avoid breaking
compatibility.
Previous versions of qpdf incorrectly passed arbitrary objects from
/Pages objects down to individual pages in direct contradition with
the PDF specification. These are now left in /Pages. When
intermediate /Pages nodes are being discarded as when the /Pages tree
is being flattened, a warning is issued when unknown keys are
encountered.
