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.
See http://eslint.org/docs/rules/brace-style.
Having the opening/closing braces on the same line can often make the code slightly more difficult to read, in particular for `if`/`else if` statements, compared to using new lines.
This patch also, for consistency with `mozilla-central`, enables the [`no-iterator`](http://eslint.org/docs/rules/no-iterator) rule. Note that this rule didn't require a single code change.
Please see http://eslint.org/docs/rules/spaced-comment.
Note that the exceptions added for `line` comments are intended to still allow use of the old preprocessor without linting errors.
Also, I took the opportunity to improve the grammar slightly (w.r.t. capitalization and punctuation) for comments touched in the patch.
*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.

Directly use the hexadecimal representation, just like the
`AnnotationFlags`, to avoid calculations and to improve readability.
This allows us to simplify the unit tests for text widget annotations as
well.
This patch improves performance by avoiding unnecessary type
conversions, which also help the JIT for optimizations.
Moreover, this patch fixes issues with the div expansion code where
`textScale` would be undefined in a division. Because of the `dataset`
usage, other comparisons evaluated to `true` while `false` would have
been correct. This makes the expansion mode now work correctly for cases
with, for example, each glyph in one div.
The polyfill for `WeakMap` has been provided by @yurydelendik.
Currently the `isSpace` utility function is a member of `Lexer`, which seems suboptimal, given that it's placed in `core/parser.js`. In practice, this means that in a number of `core/*.js` files we thus have an *otherwise* completely unnecessary dependency on `core/parser.js` for a one-line function.
Instead, this patch moves `isSpace` into `shared/util.js` which seems more appropriate for this kind of utility function. Not to mention that since all the affected `core/*.js` files already depends on `shared/util.js`, this doesn't incur any more file dependencies.
This is required to be able to use it in the annotation display code,
where we now apply it to sanitize the filename of the FileAttachment
annotation. The PDF file from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1230933 has shown that some PDF generators include the path of the file rather than the filename, which causes filenames with weird initial characters. PDF viewers handle this differently (for example Foxit Reader just replaces forward slashes with spaces), but we think it's better to only show the filename as intended.
Additionally we add unit tests for the `getFilenameFromUrl` helper
function.
Currently the `deprecated` message is using `warn`, meaning that it's possible to disable warnings about deprecated API usage through the `PDFJS.verbosity` setting.
I don't think that it should be possible to opt out of deprecation messages,[1] since it might mean that in a custom deployment of PDF.js these messages could be overlooked, leading to PDF.js being broken (seemingly without any warning) when updating to a future version.
Obviously this could be considered the responsibility of the people doing custom PDF.js implementations, but in order to reduce the support burden later on, it seems better to "annoy" people upfront.
Compared to various `info`/`warn`/`error` messages, `deprecated` messages should be very simple to get rid of -- just update the API usage and the message goes away!

[1] In e.g. Firefox it doesn't seem possible to prevent deprecation warnings from being displayed (in the Browser Console).
Re: issue 5089.
(Note that since there are other outline features that we currently don't support, e.g. bold/italic text and custom colours, I thus think we can keep the referenced issue open.)
The Firefox addon currently fails with:
```
SyntaxError: missing ; before statement pdf.js:1692:12
TypeError: PDFJS.shadow is not a function viewer.js:6228:12
```
Apparently some PDF files can have annotations with `URI` entries ending with `null` characters, thus breaking the links.
To handle this edge-case of bad PDFs, this patch moves the already existing utility function from `ui_utils.js` into `util.js`, in order to fix those URLs.
Fixes 6832.
Now we have a full list of all possible annotation types and the
numbering corresponds to the order in the specification. Not only is
this more consistent and complete, it also prevents having to add these
constants when a new annotation type is implemented.
Additionally fix an issue where a regular Widget annotation would not
have `data.annotationType` set. It was only set for a
TextWidgetAnnotation, but instead move it to the base Widget annotation
class to add it for all Widget annotations (since TextWidgetAnnotation
inherits from WidgetAnnotation it will have it too).
This patch:
- Updates the JSDoc comment in `api.js`, to more clearly point out that `PDFJS.openExternalLinksInNewWindow` is deprecated, and explains what to use instead.
- Changes the `warn`, in `isExternalLinkTargetSet()`, to use the new `deprecated` function instead. Also updates the message with more detailed information about what to use instead.
- Changes the pre-processor tag to ensure the deprecation warning is seen in all build types where it could possibly matter (in case people are using `PDFJS.openExternalLinksInNewWindow` in e.g. custom-built extensions).
These changes were prompted by seeing http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33813373/pdf-js-how-to-open-hyperlinks-in-a-new-tab-window, since it seems to me that the current comments/warnings might not be worded well enough.
This patch makes it possible to set and get all possible flags that the PDF specification defines. Even though we do not support all possible annotation types and not all possible annotation flags yet, this general framework makes it easy to access all flags for each annotation such that annotation type implementations can use this information.
We add constants for all possible annotation flags such that we do not need to hardcode the flags in the code anymore. The `isViewable()` and `isPrintable()` methods are now easier to read. Additionally, unit tests have been added to ensure correct behavior.
This is another part of #5218.
Replaces `PDFJS.openExternalLinksInNewWindow` with a more generic configuration option.
*Note:* `PDFJS.openExternalLinksInNewWindow = true;` is equal to `PDFJS.externalLinkTarget = PDFJS.LinkTarget.BLANK;`.
Serialize errors to make sure that the callback is still invoked when
an error is thrown.
Firefox:
"DataCloneError: The object could not be cloned."
Chrome:
"DataCloneError: Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'WorkerGlobalScope': An object could not be cloned."
