This patch makes the follow changes:
- Remove no longer necessary inline `// eslint-disable-...` comments.
- Fix `// eslint-disable-...` comments that Prettier moved down, thus causing new linting errors.
- Concatenate strings which now fit on just one line.
- Fix comments that are now too long.
- Finally, and most importantly, adjust comments that Prettier moved down, since the new positions often is confusing or outright wrong.
Note that Prettier, purposely, has only limited [configuration options](https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html). The configuration file is based on [the one in `mozilla central`](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/.prettierrc) with just a few additions (to avoid future breakage if the defaults ever changes).
Prettier is being used for a couple of reasons:
- To be consistent with `mozilla-central`, where Prettier is already in use across the tree.
- To ensure a *consistent* coding style everywhere, which is automatically enforced during linting (since Prettier is used as an ESLint plugin). This thus ends "all" formatting disussions once and for all, removing the need for review comments on most stylistic matters.
Many ESLint options are now redundant, and I've tried my best to remove all the now unnecessary options (but I may have missed some).
Note also that since Prettier considers the `printWidth` option as a guide, rather than a hard rule, this patch resorts to a small hack in the ESLint config to ensure that *comments* won't become too long.
*Please note:* This patch is generated automatically, by appending the `--fix` argument to the ESLint call used in the `gulp lint` task. It will thus require some additional clean-up, which will be done in a *separate* commit.
(On a more personal note, I'll readily admit that some of the changes Prettier makes are *extremely* ugly. However, in the name of consistency we'll probably have to live with that.)
There's a fair number of (primarily) `Array`s/`TypedArray`s whose formatting we don't want disturb, since in many cases that would lead to the code becoming much more difficult to read and/or break existing inline comments.
*Please note:* It may be a good idea to look through these cases individually, and possibly re-write some of the them (especially the `String` ones) to reduce the need for all of these ignore commands.
The `src/shared/util.js` file is being bundled into both the `pdf.js` and `pdf.worker.js` files, meaning that its code is by definition duplicated.
Some main-thread only utility functions have already been moved to a separate `src/display/display_utils.js` file, and this patch simply extends that concept to utility functions which are used *only* on the worker-thread.
Note in particular the `getInheritableProperty` function, which expects a `Dict` as input and thus *cannot* possibly ever be used on the main-thread.
*Follow-up to PR 8909.*
This requires us to pass around `pdfFunctionFactory` to quite a lot of existing code, however I don't see another way of handling this while still guaranteeing that we can access `PDFFunction` as freely as in the old code.
Please note that the patch passes all tests locally (unit, font, reference), and I *very* much hope that we have sufficient test-coverage for the code in question to catch any typos/mistakes in the re-factoring.
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 some inequalities had the wrong order, and was surprised since I thought that the `yoda` rule should have caught that.
However, reading http://eslint.org/docs/rules/yoda#options a bit more closely than previously, it's quite obvious that the `onlyEquality` option does *exactly* what its name suggests. Hence I think that it makes sense to adjust the options such that only ranges are allowed instead.
*Please note that most of the necessary code adjustments were made in PR 7890.*
ESLint has a number of advantageous properties, compared to JSHint. Among those are:
- The ability to find subtle bugs, thanks to more rules (e.g. PR 7881).
- Much more customizable in general, and many rules allow fine-tuned behaviour rather than the just the on/off rules in JSHint.
- Many more rules that can help developers avoid bugs, and a lot of rules that can be used to enforce a consistent coding style. The latter should be particularily useful for new contributors (and reduce the amount of stylistic review comments necessary).
- The ability to easily specify exactly what rules to use/not to use, as opposed to JSHint which has a default set. *Note:* in future JSHint version some of the rules we depend on will be removed, according to warnings in http://jshint.com/docs/options/, so we wouldn't be able to update without losing lint coverage.
- More easily disable one, or more, rules temporarily. In JSHint this requires using a numeric code, which isn't very user friendly, whereas in ESLint the rule name is simply used instead.
By default there's no rules enabled in ESLint, but there are some default rule sets available. However, to prevent linting failures if we update ESLint in the future, it seemed easier to just explicitly specify what rules we want.
Obviously this makes the ESLint config file somewhat bigger than the old JSHint config file, but given how rarely that one has been updated over the years I don't think that matters too much.
I've tried, to the best of my ability, to ensure that we enable the same rules for ESLint that we had for JSHint. Furthermore, I've also enabled a number of rules that seemed to make sense, both to catch possible errors *and* various style guide violations.
Despite the ESLint README claiming that it's slower that JSHint, https://github.com/eslint/eslint#how-does-eslint-performance-compare-to-jshint, locally this patch actually reduces the runtime for `gulp` lint (by approximately 20-25%).
A couple of stylistic rules that would have been nice to enable, but where our code currently differs to much to make it feasible:
- `comma-dangle`, controls trailing commas in Objects and Arrays (among others).
- `object-curly-spacing`, controls spacing inside of Objects.
- `spaced-comment`, used to enforce spaces after `//` and `/*. (This is made difficult by the fact that there's still some usage of the old preprocessor left.)
Rules that I indend to look into possibly enabling in follow-ups, if it seems to make sense: `no-else-return`, `no-lonely-if`, `brace-style` with the `allowSingleLine` parameter removed.

As evident from e.g. PRs 6485 and 7118, some bad PDF generators unfortunately create Arrays where *some* elements are indirect objects (i.e. `Ref`s). This seems to mostly affect Arrays that contain numbers, such as e.g. `Matrix/FontMatrix/BBox/FontBBox/Rect/Color/...`, and has manifested itself in PDF files that fail to render correctly (some elements are missing).
The problem in both the cases above, besides broken rendering, was that there were *no* errors/warnings that indicated what the problem was, making it difficult to pinpoint the issue.
Hence this patch, where I've audited all usages of `Dict_get` in `src/core/` files, and replaced it with `Dict_getArray` where appropriate to try and prevent unnecessary future bugs.
pi is an index in the stream and is explained on page 201 of the 32000-spec (however 1-based there), and ps is an index to something in PDF.js. I used the code from flag 0 (which works) to understand which is which. It is also important to understand that for flags 1,2 and 3, the stream is always assigned to the same coordinates and colors. What changes is which "old" coordinates and colors are assigned to what is "missing" in the stream. This is why for these flags, the code is identical except for the assignments in the first "row". (Same principle as in #6304). Note that this change will not improve the lamp_cairo.pdf file, only the two files mentioned in #6305.
Short story: somebody got lost in two different indices. pi is an index in the stream and is explained on page 198 of the 32000-spec (however 1-based there), and ps is an index to something in PDF.js. I used the code from flag 0 (which works) to understand which is which. It is also important to understand that for flags 1,2 and 3, the stream is always assigned to the same coordinates and colors. What changes is which "old" coordinates and colors are assigned to what is "missing" in the stream. This is why for these flags, the code is identical except for the assignments in the first "row".
