This patch avoids creating many intermediate strings, when adding dummy width/lsb entries for glyphs where those are missing.
For the relevant PDF files in our test suite, the average number of intermediate strings are well over 1000.
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%.
When loading the PDF from issue #4935, this change reduces peak RSS from
~2400 to ~300 MiB, and improves overall speed by ~81%, from 6336 ms to
1222 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.
In b5b94a4af3, i.e. PR #4259, we stopped using cidmaps.js. Despite that, it's still included when PDF.js is built. At almost 0.5 MB (and approx. 7000 lines), this is currently the single largest file in the codebase.
Including such a large file in the builds, when it is not actually used, seems extremely wasteful; hence this patch.
Different fonts can point to the same font descriptor
(see https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues/4339 for details). With this
commit such fonts are treated as aliases if they have also the same encoding
and the same toUnicode map. The according info is stored on the font descriptor.
This change must also ensure that aliases use always the same font name
because translated fonts can get cleared depending on the CLEANUP_TIMEOUT setting.
