crash log

Note - this is Safari 8, on OS X 10.10, but I can't actually select those from the drop downs.

Steps to reproduce:

1.  Go to Apple's feedback page
2.  Write a rant about how you hate the new behavior of the zoom buttons on Finder windows, where the last word is intended to be "awful", but only "awfu" fits.
3.  When Safari suggests "awful" as the completion, select it

Expected results:

Either "awful" is added, or it leaves it as "awfu"

Actual results:

Boom - tab crashes, losing you everything you just typed in. :-/

It’s the caller’s responsibility to check atEnd(). This is a design change. I don’t think we should change the design of TextIterator. Instead we should fix the caller that is not checking atEnd(). In fact, I think this function should return Ref<Range> and not PassRefPtr<Range> in the future.

Ditto.

> +    if (!start)

This should be if (it.atEnd()) return nullptr; *before* calling it.range().

> Source/WebCore/editing/TextIterator.cpp:1479
> +    if (!end)
> +        return nullptr;

Ditto.

I think we might also need to check if (it.atEnd()) before calling it.advance()?

I’d also like to see a regression test. Any reason we can’t make one?

Ok, I understand now. I'll change it.

I think it is possible, testing the autocorrection case at the end of the field.

What guarantees startContainer is non-null? If callers passed a detached range, then that might be null. I suggest using entireRange->ownerDocument() instead.

Ditto.

That is a valid point. I'll change it before landing the patch. Thanks for the review.

[Brent Fulgham]

This broke the Windows build, because it started using 'TextIterator::subrange', which is not exported by WebKitExports.def.

I'll land a fix shortly.

Windows build fix committed in r178470.
