At this point all the various Stream-classes extends an abstract base-class, hence this helper function is no longer necessary and only adds unnecessary indirection in the code.
Given that the GitHub Advanced Security workflow now covers everything that LGTM does, but generally faster and with better GitHub-integration, there's no longer much point in also running LGTM separately.
As a follow-up to this patch, we should also disable/remove the LGTM-integration from the PDF.js repository.
Apparently I didn't put one of the disable comments on the *correct* line, since I didn't read the instructions carefully enough, so let's try again.
Note that, most unfortunately, disabling of warnings isn't applied until *after* a patch has been merged.
Most of the warnings we don't really care about, and those are simply white-listed using inline comments; however two cases prompted actual code changes:
- In `src/display/pattern_helper.js` the branch in question is indeed unreachable, and should thus be safe to remove. (This code originated in PR 4192, which is now over seven years ago.)
- In `test/test.js`, the function in question indeed doesn't accept any arguments. (The patch also re-formats a string just above, which didn't seem worthy of a separated patch.)
This now leaves only *one* warning in the LGTM report, however that one is a false positive that we'll need to report upstream.
The size of the `src/core/obj.js` file has increased slowly over the years, and it also contains a fair amount of *distinct* functionality.
In order to improve readability and make it easier to navigate through the code, this patch moves the `FileSpec` into its own file.
