Note that the XRef cache will only hold objects returned through `Parser.getObj`, and indirectly via `Lexer.getObj`. Since neither of those methods will ever return `undefined`, we can simply `assert` that when inserting objects into the cache and thus get rid of one function call when doing cache lookups.
Obviously this won't have a huge effect on performance, however `XRef.fetch` is usually called *a lot* in larger documents and this patch thus cannot hurt.
I'm slightly surprised that this hasn't actually caused any (known) bugs, but that may be more luck than anything else since it fortunately doesn't seem common for Streams to be defined inside of an 'ObjStm'.[1]
Note that in the `XRef.fetchUncompressed` method we're *not* caching Streams, and that for very good reasons too.
- Streams, especially the `DecodeStream` ones, can become *very* large once read. Hence caching them really isn't a good idea simply because of the (potential) memory impact of doing so.
- Attempting to read from the *same* Stream more than once won't work, unless it's `reset` in between, since using any method such as e.g. `getBytes` always starts at the current data position.
- Given that even the `src/core/` code is now fairly asynchronous, see e.g. the `PartialEvaluator`, it's generally impossible to assert that any one Stream isn't being accessed "concurrently" by e.g. different `getOperatorList` calls. Hence `reset`-ing a cached Streams isn't going to work in the general case.
All in all, I cannot understand why it'd ever be correct to cache Streams in the `XRef.fetchCompressed` method.

[1] One example where that happens is the `issue3115r.pdf` file in the test-suite, where the streams in question are not actually used for anything within the PDF.js code.
- Change all occurences of `var` to `let`/`const`.
- Initialize the (temporary) Arrays with the correct sizes upfront.
- Inline the `isCmd` check. Obviously this won't make a huge difference, but given that the check is only relevant for corrupt documents it cannot hurt.
Having ran the entire test-suite locally with these `Number.isInteger` checks removed, there wasn't a single test failure anywhere; see also PR 8857.
Hence everything points to this being completely unnecessary now, and by removing this code there's thus fewer function calls being made in `XRef.fetchUncompressed`.
The contents of this comment hasn't been correct for *years*, ever since the library was properly split into main/worker-threads, so it's probably high time for this to be updated.
For documents with a Linearization dictionary the computed `startXRef` position will be relative to the raw file, rather than the actual PDF document itself (which begins with `%PDF-`).
Hence it's necessary to subtract `stream.start` in this case, since otherwise the `XRef.readXRef` method will increment the position too far resulting in parsing errors.
*Please note:* A a similar change was attempted in PR 5005, but it was subsequently backed out (in PR 5069) since other parts of the patch caused issues.
With these changes, it's possible to replace repeated function calls within a loop with just a single function call and subsequent assignment instead.
I've always disliked the solution in PR 10461, since it required changes to the `PDFHistory` code itself to deal with a bug in IE11.
Now that IE11 support is limited, it seems reasonable to remove these `pushState`/`replaceState` hacks from the main code-base and simply use polyfills instead.
For Popup annotation trigger elements consisting of an arbitrary polyline, you need to ensure that the 'stroke-width' is always non-zero since otherwise it's impossible to actually open/close the popup.
Unfortunately I don't believe that any of the test-suites can be used to test this, hence why no tests are included in the patch.
As we've seen in numerous other cases, avoiding unnecessary function calls is never a bad thing (even if the effect is probably tiny here).
With these changes we also avoid potentially two back-to-back `isDict` checks when evaluating possible Page nodes, and can also no longer accidentally pick a dictionary with an incorrect /Type.
For certain canvas-related errors (and probably others), the browser rendering exceptions may be propagated "as-is" to the PDF.js code. In this case, the exceptions are of the somewhat cryptic `NS_ERROR_FAILURE` type.
Unfortunately these aren't actual `Error`s, which thus ends up unintentionally triggering the `assert` in `PDFPageProxy._abortOperatorList`; sorry about that!
The bug report seem to suggest that we don't support UTF-16 strings with a BOM (byte order mark), which we *actually* do as evident by both the code and a unit-test.
The issue at play here is rather that we previously only supported big-endian UTF-16 BOM, and the `Title` string in the PDF document is using a *little-endian* UTF-16 BOM instead.

Rather than having to store a `PromiseCapability` on the `ObjectLoader` instances, we can simply convert `_walk` to be `async` and thus have the same functionality with native JavaScript instead.
I happened to look at this code and the way that the link target is set seems unecessarily convoluted, since we're using `Object.values` and `Array.prototype.includes` for *every* link being parsed.
Given that the number of link targets are so few, the easist solution honestly seem to be to just use a `switch` statement to do the link target mapping.
When the end of data has already been reached for the various Streams, the `getByte` methods will return `-1` to signal that to the caller. Note however that the current position obviously won't be incremented in this case, meaning that the `peekByte` methods will in this case *incorrectly* decrement the position.
Thankfully the corresponding `peekBytes` shouldn't be affected by this bug, since they decrement the current position with the *actually* returned number of bytes.
I'm not aware of any bugs caused by this blatant oversight, but that doesn't mean this shouldn't be fixed :-)
This will allow us to attempt to recover as much as possible of a page, rather than immediately failing, when a broken/unsupported ColorSpace is encountered. This patch thus extends the framework added in PRs such as e.g. 8240 and 8922, to also cover parsing of ColorSpaces.
The code in question is *only* relevant in non-`PRODUCTION` mode, i.e. the *development* version of the viewer run with `gulp server`, and has been completely unused at least since SystemJS was added.
I really cannot see any reason to keep this, since it's code which first of all isn't shipping and secondly isn't even being used in the development viewer.
When `ReadableStream` support was added to the `MessageHandler`, the `_onComObjOnMessage` function became more complex than previously.
All of the nested `if`/`else if`/`else` branches are now, at least in my opinion, making some of this code a bit difficult to follow. Hence this patch, which attempts to help readability by making use of early `return`s and `Error`s.
The patch also changes a couple of `var`/`let` occurences to `const`.
Note that using `in` leads to unnecessary stringification of the properties, which seems completely unnecessary here. To avoid future problems from these changes the `MessageHandler.on` method will now assert, in non-`PRODUCTION`/`TESTING` builds, that it's always called with a function as expected.
This patch also renames `callbacksCapabilities` to `callbackCapabilities`, note the removed "s", since using a double plural format looks a bit strange.
Given that the `isReply` property is an internal implementation detail, changing its type shouldn't be a problem. Note that by directly indicating if either data or an Error is sent, it's no longer necessary to use `in` when handling the callback.
Currently, for data in `ChunkedStream` instances, the `getMissingChunks` method is used in a couple of places to determine if data is already available or if it needs to be loaded.
When looking at how `ChunkedStream.getMissingChunks` is being used in the `ObjectLoader` you'll notice that we don't actually care about which *specific* chunks are missing, but rather only want essentially a yes/no answer to the "Is the data available?" question.
Furthermore, when looking at how `ChunkedStream.getMissingChunks` itself is implemented you'll notice that it (somewhat expectedly) always iterates over *all* chunks.
All in all, using `ChunkedStream.getMissingChunks` in the `ObjectLoader` seems like an unnecessary "heavy" and roundabout way to obtain a boolean value. However, it turns out there already exists a `ChunkedStream.allChunksLoaded` method, consisting of a *single* simple check, which seems like a perfect fit for the `ObjectLoader` use cases.
In particular, once the *entire* PDF document has been loaded (which is usually fairly quick with streaming enabled), you'd really want the `ObjectLoader` to be as simple/quick as possible (similar to e.g. loading a local files) which this patch should help with.
Note that I wouldn't expect this patch to have a huge effect on performance, but it will nonetheless save some CPU/memory resources when the `ObjectLoader` is used. (As usual this should help larger PDF documents, w.r.t. both file size and number of pages, the most.)
I completely overlooked this in PR 11281, but you obviously need to make similar changes in `PartialEvaluator.hasBlendModes` since it will otherwise ignore valid Blend Modes.
This argument is a left-over from older API code, where we unconditionally initialized `StatTimer` instances for every page. For quite some time that's only been done when `pdfBug` is set, hence it seems unnecessary to keep this functionality.
Even though the currect situation only results in six unnecessary function calls per page, it nonetheless seems completely unnecessary to call dummy functions when `pdfBug` is *not* set (i.e. the default behaviour).
As can be seen in the API, there's a number of document loading Exception handlers which are both really simple and highly similar. Hence these are changed such that all the relevant Exceptions are sent via *one* message instead.
Furthermore, the patch also avoids unnecessarily re-creating `UnknownErrorException`s at the worker side and removes an unnecessary `bind` call.
Obviously this won't look exactly right, but considering that the PDF file doesn't bother embedding non-standard fonts this is the best that we can do here.
This patch is making me somewhat worried about future regressions, since it's certainly easy to imagine this completely breaking certain kinds of corrupt/edited PDF documents while fixing others.[1]
Obviously it passes all existing reference tests (and even improves one), however compared to many other patches there's no telling how much it could break.
The only reason that I'm even submitting this patch, is because of the number of open issues that it would address.
Generally speaking though, the best course of action would probably be if `XRef.indexObjects` was re-written to be much more robust (since it currently feels somewhat hand-wavy in parts). E.g. by actually checking/validating more of the objects before committing to them.

[1] Especially given that it's reverting part of PR 5910, however in the case of issue 5909 it seems that other (more recent) changes have actually made that PR redundant.
