There are no reasons other than historical to use size_t. On balance, using map is more efficient. Hold shared pointers to QPDFObjects rather than QPDFObjectHandles for consistencey with QPDF_Array.
-
Also, add const overload of QPDFObjectHandle::getObj
-
Stop using nullptr to represent null objects. Count null array elements and trigger creation of sparse arrays if null count is greater than 100.
-
Add temporary clone of SparseOHArray to implement non-sparse mode.
-
Add optional parameter shallow. Change logic errors to runtime errors.

QPDFValueProxy wasn't a good name for it. We decided the evil of having the header file be named QPDFObject_private.hh was less than the evil of having the class be named something other than what it should have been named.
-
I decided that it's actually fine to copy a direct object to another QPDF. Even if we eventually prevent a QPDFObject from having multiple parents, this could happen if an object is moved.
-
This is in preparation for restoring a QPDFObject.hh to ease the transition on qpdf_object_type_e. This commit was created by * Renaming QPDFObject.cc and QPDFObject.hh * Replacing QPDFObject\b with QPDFValueProxy (where \b is word boundary) * Running format-code * Manually resorting files in libqpdf/CMakeLists.txt * Manually refilling the comment in QPDF.hh near class Resolver
-
On destruction of the QPDF object replace all indirect object references with direct nulls. Remove all existing code to release resolved references. Fixes performance issue due to interaction of resetting QPDFValue::qpdf and og members and prior code.
-
Move responsibility for creating shared pointers to objects and cloning from QPDFObjectHandle to QPDFObject.
-
Update getJSON() methods and calls to them

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. :-)
-
Change .clang-format and commit automated changes from a fresh run of format-code
-
Run this: for i in **/*.cc **/*.c **/*.h **/*.hh; do clang-format < $i >| $i.new && mv $i.new $i done

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.
-
Also switch to colon-style iteration in some cases. Thanks to Dean Scarff for drawing this to my attention after detecting some unnecessary copies with https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/performance-for-range-copy.html

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.
-
Give objects descriptions and context so it is possible to issue warnings instead of fatal errors for attempts to access objects of the wrong type.

For std::string and std::vector, replace operator[] with at. This was done using an automated process. See README.hardening for details.
