This replaces `assert` calls with `throw new FormatError()`/`throw new Error()`.
In a few places, throwing an `Error` (which is what `assert` meant) isn't correct since the enclosing function is supposed to return a `Promise`, hence some cases were changed to `Promise.reject(...)` and similarily for `createPromiseCapability` instances.
Please note that the `glyphlist.js` and `unicode.js` files are converted to CommonJS modules instead, since Babel cannot handle files that large and they are thus excluded from transpilation.
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/object-shorthand.
For the most part, these changes are of the search-and-replace kind, and the previously enabled `no-undef` rule should complement the tests in helping ensure that no stupid errors crept into to the patch.
I happened to notice that the error handling wasn't that great, which I missed previously since there were no unit-tests for failure to load built-in CMap files.
Hence this patch, which improves the error handling *and* adds tests.
Currently the built-in CMap files are loaded in `src/core/cmap.js` using `XMLHttpRequest` directly. For some environments that might be a problem, hence this patch refactors that to instead use a factory to load built-in CMaps on the main thread and message the data to the worker thread.
This is inspired by other recent work, e.g. the addition of the `CanvasFactory`, and to a large extent on the IRC discussion starting at http://logs.glob.uno/?c=mozilla%23pdfjs&s=12+Oct+2016&e=12+Oct+2016#c53010.
Given the nature of `EOF` and `isEOF`, it seems to me that they really ought to be placed in `core/primitives.js` instead.
In general, it doesn't seem great to have to depend on the entire `core/parser.js` file for such simple primitives/helper functions.
In particular, while `core/ps_parser.js` is completely separate from `core/parser.js` with regards to its function, it still depends on the latter for just *one* primitive.
Note that compared to e.g. PR 7389, this will not reduce the number of dependencies for `core/ps_parser`, however the new dependency IMHO makes more sense.
After PR 7039, the PDF file in issue 7492 no longer renders at all, but note that text selection wasn't working correctly previously.
The problem with the PDF file in issue 7492 is that the `cMap`, in the `toUnicode` entry in the font, contains an invalid name:
```
/CMapName /-usr-share-fonts-truetype-Panton-Panton Family-Fontfabric - Panton.otf,000-UTF16 def
```
When we parse that line, things obviously break because there are spaces present in the wrong places.
To avoid that issue, the patch simply lets `parseCMap` continue when errors are encountered, to try and recover usable data. Note that by not aborting immediatly when an error is encountered, we are also able to fix the text selection.
Obviously, it could be argued that we should just immediatly reject a corrupt `cMap`. But given that they usually are correct, it seems that trying to recover as much data as possible from corrupt one can only be a good thing for both glyph mapping and text selection.
Fixes 7492.
readCharCode() returns two values, and currently allocates a length-2
array on every call to do so. This change makes it instead us a
passed-in object which can be reused.
This tiny change reduces the total JS allocations done for the document
in Mozilla bug 992125 by 4.2%.
IdentityCMap uses an array to represent a 16-bit unsigned identity
function. This is very space-inefficient, and some files cause multiple
IdentityCMaps to be instantiated (e.g. the one from #4580 has 74).
This patch make the representation implicit.
When loading the PDF from issue #4580, this change reduces peak RSS from
~370 to ~280 MiB. It also improves overall speed on that PDF by ~30%,
going from 522 ms to 366 ms.
cid chars are 16-bit unsigned integers. Currently we convert them to
single-char strings when inserting them into the CMap, and then convert
them back to integers when extracting them from the CMap. This patch
changes CMap so that cid chars stay in integer format throughout, saving
both time and space.
When loading the PDF from issue #4580, this change reduces peak RSS from
~600 to ~370 MiB. It also improves overall speed on that PDF by ~26%,
going from 724 ms to 533 ms.
This change avoids the element stringification caused by for..in for the
vast majority of CMaps.
When loading the PDF from issue #4580, this change reduces peak RSS from ~650
to ~600 MiB, and improves overall speed by ~20%, from 902 ms to 713 ms. Other
CMap-heavy documents will also see improvements.
