This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
conditionally_parse_page_tree_node used to assume that the xref table
contained a byte offset, even for compressed objects. It now uses the
common facilities for parsing objects, at the expense of some
performance.
Security handlers manage encryption and decription of PDF files. The
standard security handler uses RC4/MD5 to perform its crypto (AES as
well, but that is not yet implemented).
This was a small optimization to allow a stream object to simply hold
a reference to the bytes in a PDF document rather than duplicating
them. However, as we move into features such as encryption, this
optimization does more harm than good. This can be revisited in the
future if necessary.
Old situation:
Object.h defines Object
Object.h defines ArrayObject
ArrayObject requires the definition of Object
ArrayObject requires the definition of Value
Value.h defines Value
Value requires the definition of Object
Therefore, a file with the single line "#include <Value.h>" used to
raise compilation errors; certainly not something that one might expect
from a library.
This patch splits up the definitions in Object.h to break the cycle.
Now, Object.h only defines Object, Value.h still only defines Value (and
includes Object.h), and the new header ObjectDerivatives.h defines
ArrayObject (and includes both Object.h and Value.h).
