DeprecatedFlyString relies heavily on DeprecatedString's StringImpl, so
let's rename it to A) match the name of DeprecatedString, B) write a new
FlyString class that is tied to String.
This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
This isn't a complete conversion to ErrorOr<void>, but a good chunk.
The end goal here is to propagate buffer allocation failures to the
caller, and allow the use of TRY() with formatting functions.
Old situation:
Object.h defines Object
Object.h defines ArrayObject
ArrayObject requires the definition of Object
ArrayObject requires the definition of Value
Value.h defines Value
Value requires the definition of Object
Therefore, a file with the single line "#include <Value.h>" used to
raise compilation errors; certainly not something that one might expect
from a library.
This patch splits up the definitions in Object.h to break the cycle.
Now, Object.h only defines Object, Value.h still only defines Value (and
includes Object.h), and the new header ObjectDerivatives.h defines
ArrayObject (and includes both Object.h and Value.h).
Our existing implementation did not check the element type of the other
pointer in the constructors and move assignment operators. This meant
that some operations that would require explicit casting on raw pointers
were done implicitly, such as:
- downcasting a base class to a derived class (e.g. `Kernel::Inode` =>
`Kernel::ProcFSDirectoryInode` in Kernel/ProcFS.cpp),
- casting to an unrelated type (e.g. `Promise<bool>` => `Promise<Empty>`
in LibIMAP/Client.cpp)
This, of course, allows gross violations of the type system, and makes
the need to type-check less obvious before downcasting. Luckily, while
adding the `static_ptr_cast`s, only two truly incorrect usages were
found; in the other instances, our casts just needed to be made
explicit.
This is a big step, as most PDFs which are downloaded online will be
linearized. Pretty much the only difference is that the xref structure
is slightly different.
IndirectValueRef is so simple that it can be stored directly in the
Value class instead of being heap allocated.
As the comment in Value says, however, in theory the max bits needed to
store is 48 (16 for the generation index and 32(?) for the object
index), but 32 should be good enough for now. We can increase it to u64
later if necessary.
This commit also splits up StreamObject into PlainTextStreamObject and
EncodedStreamObject, which is essentially just a stream object which
does not own its bytes vs one which does.
This commit adds the Renderer class, which is responsible for rendering
a page into a Gfx::Bitmap. There are many improvements to make here,
but this is a great start!
This commit introduces the ability to parse the document catalog dict,
as well as the page tree and individual pages. Pages obviously aren't
fully parsed, as we won't care about most of the fields until we
start actually rendering PDFs.
One of the primary benefits of the PDF format is laziness. PDFs are
not meant to be parsed all at once, and the same is true for pages.
When a Document is constructed, it builds a map of page number to
object index, but it does not fetch and parse any of the pages. A page
is only parsed when a caller requests that particular page (and is
cached going forwards).
Additionally, this commit also adds an object_cast function which
logs bad casts if DEBUG_PDF is set. Additionally, utility functions
were added to ArrayObject and DictObject to get all types of objects
from the collections to avoid having to manually cast.
This commit is the start of LibPDF, and introduces some basic structure
objects. This emulates LibJS's Value structure, where Value is a simple
class that can contain a pointer to a more complex Object class with
more data. All of the basic PDF objects have a representation.
