Bug 118609 – Web Inspector: Replace binarySearch with lowerBound and upperBound functions

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Timothy Hatcher]

This allows to avoid index-mapping-to-negative-axis-trick in binarySearch and its usages.
It also makes insertionIndexForObjectInListSortedByFunction to work in O(log(n)) time instead of O(n).

Thanks for fixing this! Can you upload a new patch with these tweaks?

Can you add the reasoning bellow the title? "This makes insertionIndexForObjectInListSortedByFunction work in O(log(n)) time instead of O(n)."

Our script gets confused by Object.defineProperty. Can you manually fix this?

Double new line.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Utilities.js:946
> +    /**

Lets just use // for these comments.

We don't use these JSDoc comments. We intend to remove them from our existing code. Lets not add more.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Utilities.js:979
> +    /**
> +     * Return index of the leftmost element that is greater

Ditto.

Ditto.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Utilities.js:991
> +        function defaultComparator(a, b)
> +        {
> +            return a - b;
> +        }

Lets move this function out next to insertObjectIntoSortedArray, since it can be shared.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Utilities.js:1013

> +     * @this {Array.<*>}
> +     * @param {*} value
> +     * @param {function(*,*):number} comparator
> +     * @return {number}
> +     */

Ditto.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Utilities.js:1027
> +/**
> + * @param {*} object
> + * @param {Array.<*>} list
> + * @param {function(*,*):number=} comparator
> + * @param {boolean=} insertionIndexAfter
> + * @return {number}

Ditto.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Utilities.js:1041
> +/**
> + * @param {*} object
> + * @param {Array.<*>} array
> + * @param {function(*,*):number=} comparator

Ditto.
