- Replace the existing loops with `for...of` variants instead.
- Make use of `continue`, to reduce indentation and to make the code (slightly) easier to follow, when checking `/Resources` entries.
This case should no longer happen, given the `instanceof Ref` branch just above (added in PR 6971).
Also, I've run the entire test-suite locally with `continue` replaced by `throw new Error(...)` and didn't find any problems.
Given that this method is used during what's essentially a *pre*-parsing stage, before the actual OperatorList parsing occurs, on second thought it doesn't seem at all necessary to warn and trigger fallback in cases where there's lookup errors.
*Please note:* Any any errors will still be either suppressed or thrown, according to the `ignoreErrors` option, during the *actual* OperatorList parsing.
Stop special-casing the (very unlikely) "no `/XObject` found"-scenario, when parsing `OPS.paintXObject` operators, in `PartialEvaluator.{getOperatorList, getTextContent}`
Originally there weren't any (generally) good ways to handle errors gracefully, on the worker-side, however that's no longer the case and we can simply fallback to the existing `ignoreErrors` functionality instead.
Also, please note that the "no `/XObject` found"-scenario should be *extremely* unlikely in practice and would only occur in corrupt/broken documents.
Note that the `PartialEvaluator.getOperatorList` case is especially bad currently, since we'll simply (attempt to) send the data as-is to the main-thread. This is quite bad, since in a corrupt/broken document the data *could* contain anything and e.g. be unclonable (which would cause breaking errors).
Also, we're (obviously) not attempting to do anything with this "raw" `OPS.paintXObject` data on the main-thread and simply ensuring that we never send it definately seems like the correct approach.
This special-case was added in PR 1992, however it became unnecessary with the changes in PR 4824 since all of the ColorSpace parsing is now done on the worker-thread (with only RGB-data being sent to the main-thread).
Originally ColorSpaces were only *partially* parsed on the worker-thread, to obtain an IR-format which was sent to the main-thread. This had the somewhat unfortunate side-effect of causing the majority of the (potentially heavy) ColorSpace parsing to happen on the main-thread.
Hence PR 4824 which, among other things, changed ColorSpaces to be *fully* parsed on the worker-thread with only RGB-data being sent to the main-thread.
While it thus originally was necessary to have `ColorSpace.{parseToIR, fromIR}` methods, to handle the worker/main-thread split, that's no longer the case and we can thus reduce all of the ColorSpace parsing to one method instead.
Currently, when parsing a ColorSpace, we call `ColorSpace.parseToIR` which parses the ColorSpace-data from the document and then creates the IR-format. We then, immediately, call `ColorSpace.fromIR` which parses the IR-format and then finally creates the actual ColorSpace.[1]
All-in-all, this leads to a fair amount of unnecessary indirection which also (in my opinion) makes the code less clear.
Obviously these changes are not really expected to have a significant effect on performance, especially with the recently added caching of ColorSpaces, however there'll now be strictly fewer function calls, less memory allocated, and overall less parsing required during ColorSpace-handling.

[1] For ICCBased ColorSpaces, given the validation necessary, this currently even leads to parsing an /Alternate ColorSpace *twice*.
Given the dummy-methods on `DefaultExternalServices`, there's no longer any compelling reason not to (attempt to) report telemetry unconditionally.
The only larger change consists of moving the `KNOWN_VERSIONS` and `KNOWN_GENERATORS` arrays ouf of the `PDFViewerApplication._initializeMetadata` method.
*Please note:* Most of this patch consists of whitespace-only changes.
There's a few things that could be improved in the current implementation, such as:
- It's currently necessary to *both* manually track the `featureId`s which should trigger delayed fallback, as well as manually report telemetry in affected cases.
Obviously there's only two call-sites as of now (forms and javaScript), but it still feels somewhat error-prone especially if more cases were to be added in the future. To address this, this patch adds a new (private) method which abstracts away these details from the call-sites.
- Generally, it also seems nice to reduce *and* simplify the amount of state we need to store on `PDFViewerApplication` in order to support the "delayedFallback" functionality.
Also, having to *manually* work with the "delayedFallback"-array in multiple places feels cumbersome and makes e.g. the `PDFViewerApplication.fallback` method less clear as to its behaviour.
- Having code *outside* of `PDFViewerApplication`, i.e. in the event handlers, directly access properties which are marked as "private" via a leading underscore doesn't seem that great in general.
Furthermore, having the event handlers directly deal with that should be internal state also seem unfortunate. To address this, the patch will instead make use of a new `PDFViewerApplication.triggerDelayedFallback` callback.
- There's at least one code-path in the viewer, see `PDFViewerApplication.error`, where `fallback` can be called without an argument.
It's currently possible (although maybe somewhat unlikely) that such a call *could* be overridden by the `featureId` of a pending "delayedFallback" call, thus not reporting the *correct* fallback reason.
- The "delayedFallback"-state weren't being reset on document close (which shouldn't affect Firefox, but nonetheless it ought to be fixed).
Note how the `getFontID`-method in `src/core/fonts.js` is *completely* global, rather than properly tied to the current document. This means that if you repeatedly open and parse/render, and then close, even the *same* PDF document the `fontID`s will still be incremented continuously.
For comparison the `createObjId` method, on `idFactory`, will always create a *consistent* id, assuming of course that the document and its pages are parsed/rendered in the same order.
In order to address this inconsistency, it thus seems reasonable to add a new `createFontId` method on the `idFactory` and use that when obtaining `fontID`s. (When the current `getFontID` method was added the `idFactory` didn't actually exist yet, which explains why the code looks the way it does.)
*Please note:* Since the document id is (still) part of the `loadedName`, it's thus not possible for different documents to have identical font names.
This removes additional `// eslint-disable-next-line no-shadow` usage, which our old pseudo-classes necessitated.
Most of the re-formatting changes, after the `class` definitions and methods were fixed, were done automatically by Prettier.
*Please note:* I'm purposely not doing any `var` to `let`/`const` conversion here, since it's generally better to (if possible) do that automatically on e.g. a directory basis instead.
This will simplify the `class` conversion in the next patch, and with modern JavaScript the moved code is still limited to the current module scope.
*Please note:* For improved consistency with our usual formatting, the `TILING_PATTERN`/`SHADING_PATTERN` constants where re-factored slightly.

*Yet another instalment in the never-ending series of things that you think of __after__ a patch has landed.*
Since `Function`s are only cached by reference, we thus don't need to allocate storage for names in `LocalFunctionCache` instances. Obviously the effect of these changes are *really tiny*, but it seems reasonable in principle to avoid allocating data structures that are guaranteed to be unused.
Note that compared other structures, such as e.g. Images and ColorSpaces, `Function`s are not referred to by name, which however does bring the advantage of being able to share the cache for an *entire* page.
Furthermore, similar to ColorSpaces, the parsing of individual `Function`s are generally fast enough to not really warrant trying to cache them in any "smarter" way than by reference. (Hence trying to do caching similar to e.g. Fonts would most likely be a losing proposition, given the amount of data lookup/parsing that'd be required.)
Originally I tried implementing this similar to e.g. the recently added ColorSpace caching (and in a couple of different ways), however it unfortunately turned out to be quite ugly/unwieldy given the sheer number of functions/methods where you'd thus need to pass in a `LocalFunctionCache` instance. (Also, the affected functions/methods didn't exactly have short signatures as-is.)
After going back and forth on this for a while it seemed to me that the simplest, or least "invasive" if you will, solution would be if each `PartialEvaluator` instance had its *own* `PDFFunctionFactory` instance (since the latter is already passed to all of the required code). This way each `PDFFunctionFactory` instances could have a local `Function` cache, without it being necessary to provide a `LocalFunctionCache` instance manually at every `PDFFunctionFactory.{create, createFromArray}` call-site.
Obviously, with this patch, there's now (potentially) more `PDFFunctionFactory` instances than before when the entire document shared just one. However, each such instance is really quite small and it's also tied to a `PartialEvaluator` instance and those are *not* kept alive and/or cached. To reduce the impact of these changes, I've tried to make as many of these structures as possible *lazily initialized*, specifically:
- The `PDFFunctionFactory`, on `PartialEvaluator` instances, since not all kinds of general parsing actually requires it. For example: `getTextContent` calls won't cause any `Function` to be parsed, and even some `getOperatorList` calls won't trigger `Function` parsing (if a page contains e.g. no Patterns or "complex" ColorSpaces).
- The `LocalFunctionCache`, on `PDFFunctionFactory` instances, since only certain parsing requires it. Generally speaking, only e.g. Patterns, "complex" ColorSpaces, and/or (some) SoftMasks will trigger any `Function` parsing.
To put these changes into perspective, when loading/rendering all (14) pages of the default `tracemonkey.pdf` file there's now a total of 6 `PDFFunctionFactory` and 1 `LocalFunctionCache` instances created thanks to the lazy initialization.
(If you instead would keep the document-"global" `PDFFunctionFactory` instance and pass around `LocalFunctionCache` instances everywhere, the numbers for the `tracemonkey.pdf` file would be instead be something like 1 `PDFFunctionFactory` and 6 `LocalFunctionCache` instances.)
All-in-all, I thus don't think that the `PDFFunctionFactory` changes should be generally problematic.
With these changes, we can also modify (some) call-sites to pass in a `Reference` rather than the actual `Function` data. This is nice since `Function`s can also be `Streams`, which are not cached on the `XRef` instance (given their potential size), and this way we can avoid unnecessary lookups and thus save some additional time/resources.
Obviously I had intended to include (standard) benchmark results with these changes, but for reasons I don't really understand the test run-time (even with `master`) of the document in issue 2541 is quite a bit slower than in the development viewer.
However, logging the time it takes for the relevant `PDFFunctionFactory`/`PDFFunction ` parsing shows that it takes *approximately* `0.5 ms` for the `Function` in question. Looking up a cached `Function`, on the other hand, is *one order of magnitude faster* which does add up when the same `Function` is invoked close to 2000 times.
This moves, and slightly simplifies, code that's currently residing in the unit-test utils into the actual library, such that it's bundled with `GENERIC`-builds and used in e.g. the API-code.
As an added bonus, this also brings out-of-the-box support for CMaps in e.g. the Node.js examples.
The default viewer, and thus Firefox, depends on the `RenderTask.onContinue` functionality to pause/continue rendering (such that the most visible page always renders first).
Despite this functionality thus being very important, it has however never actually been tested *at all* as far as I can tell. Hence this patch which adds a new boolean `renderTaskOnContinue` parameter (`false` by default), that can be used to force a reference-test to use the `RenderTask.onContinue` code-path in the `InternalRenderTask` class.
Note that I purposely made this new reference-test behaviour *optional*, since I didn't want to negatively affect the general runtime of the tests (given that there's a slight delay added to the rendering). Also, for e.g. benchmarking you'd most likely want to stay away from the `RenderTask.onContinue` functionality for similar reasons.
