[pdf-devel] Preallocated PDF names and library initialization

[jemarch]

Hi.

I just commited the support for preallocated PDF names.

In order to access to a pdf_obj containing a preallocated PDF name you
should use the PDF_N_* macros in `pdf_base.h':

   PDF_N_ENCODE (for the name containing "Encode")
   PDF_N_COLOR_TRANSFORM (for the name containing "ColorTransform")
   etc

for example:

   get_name_data (PDF_N_ENCODE)

The preallocated objects are in a global variable of type
`pdf_globals_t'. The data type is defined in `pdf.h' and the variable
(named `pdf_globals') is defined in `pdf.c'.

If you want to use any data in `pdf_global' (or to use the PDF_N_*
macros) in your library module, just call the PDF_GLOBALS macro
defined in `pdf_base.h'. See `torture/test-libinit.c' for an example.

There are two new functions in `pdf.c': 

   pdf_init ()
   pdf_finish ()

It is expected for clients to call `pdf_init' before any usage of the
library, and to call `pdf_finish' to free all the resources allocated
by the library.
