After PR 12563 we're now free to use optional chaining in the worker-thread as well. (This patch also fixes one previously "missed" case in the `web/` folder.)
For the MOZCENTRAL build-target this patch reduces the total bundle-size by `1.6` kilobytes.
As it turns out, most of the code-paths in the `PDFImage`-class won't actually pass the TypedArray (containing the image-data) to the `ColorSpace`-code. Hence we *generally* don't need to force the image-data to be a `Uint8ClampedArray`, and can just as well directly use a `Uint8Array` instead.
In the following cases we're returning the data without any `ColorSpace`-parsing, and the exact TypedArray used shouldn't matter:
- b72a448327/src/core/image.js (L714)
- b72a448327/src/core/image.js (L751)
In the following cases the image-data is only used *internally*, and again the exact TypedArray used shouldn't matter:
- b72a448327/src/core/image.js (L762) with the actual image-data being defined (as `Uint8ClampedArray`) further below
- b72a448327/src/core/image.js (L837)
*Please note:* This is tagged `api-minor` because it's API-observable, given that *some* image/mask-data will now be returned as `Uint8Array` rather than using `Uint8ClampedArray` unconditionally. However, that seems like a small price to pay to (slightly) reduce memory usage during image-conversion.
This patch makes use of the existing `ignoreErrors` option, thus allowing a page to continue parsing/rendering even if (some of) its sub-streams are corrupt. Obviously this may cause *part* of a page to be broken/missing, however it should be better than (potentially) rendering nothing.
Also, to the best of my knowledge, this is the first bug of its kind that we've encountered.
To avoid having to pass in a bunch of, for a `BaseStream`-instance, mostly unrelated parameters when initializing a `StreamsSequenceStream`-instance, I settled on utilizing a callback function instead to allow conditional Error-suppression.
Note that the `StreamsSequenceStream`-class is a *special* stream-implementation that we only use when the `/Contents`-entry, in the `/Page`-dictionary, consists of an Array with streams.
The way that `getBaseStreams` is currently handled has bothered me from time to time, especially how we're checking if the method exists before calling it.
By adding a dummy `BaseStream.getBaseStreams` method, and having the call-sites simply check the return value, we can improve some of the relevant code.
Note in particular how the `ObjectLoader._walk` method didn't actually check that the data in question is a Stream instance, and instead only checked the `currentNode` (which could be anything) for the existence of a `getBaseStreams` property.
By having an abstract base-class, it becomes a lot clearer exactly which methods/getters are expected to exist on all Stream instances.
Furthermore, since a number of the methods are *identical* for all Stream implementations, this reduces unnecessary code duplication in the `Stream`, `DecodeStream`, and `ChunkedStream` classes.
For e.g. `gulp mozcentral`, the *built* `pdf.worker.js` files decreases from `1 619 329` to `1 616 115` bytes with this patch-series.
