These won't work as you need to call Object::release()
No you don't. That's all automatic in the destructor -
EXACTLY what you want. Go check it out ;).
I have made several attempts at cleaning up the XPDF codebase
as it does not make use of the C++ library (GooString vs. std::string,
GooList vs. std::list, qsort vs. std::sort),
Yes, that's painful indeed. However, can we safely assume
that all platforms on which Poppler would be used (including
embedded) are up to date?
uses goto for resource
cleanup instead of RAII (Resource Aquisition Is Initialization - i.e.
constructors aquire a resource, destructors clean that resource up),
etc.
Yeah, it makes for VERY ugly code...
Q: Is there any point in having GBool/gTrue/gFalse now since only
the very ancient of C++ compilers don't support bool/true/false?
See above.
