Bug 126149 – Web Inspector: Remove canOverrideDeviceMetrics and setDeviceMetricsOverride from protocol

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Seokju Kwon]

These are not used anywhere in WebInspectorUI.
So, it removes unused Protocols and APIs.

I will remove other 'device metrics' codes as well.

You can remove this function too and updateViewMetrics. I am sure there are other functions and code that could be removed in WebKit be removing this API.

Sure. It seems like there are so many unused codes left!.
I file a master bug : Bug 126236, I will remove them on other bugs.

You could also remove these from the legacy backend files:

    Source/WebInspectorUI/Versions/Inspector-iOS-6.0.json
    Source/WebInspectorUI/Versions/Inspector-iOS-7.0.json

Though the backends supported it, we don't use it in the frontend. If we ever want to introduce something with the same name, then we would conflict with these old versions.

If you do remove them from these legacy files, regenerate the InspectorBackendCommands files by running Source/WebInspectorUI/Tools/update-InspectorBackendCommands.rb or something like that.
