It's a bit unfortunate that this live range needs to get created each time through the loop. Might be worth caching it until we have a version of compareBoundaryPoints that can take a SimpleRange.

I'd probably break this up into:

    auto start = makeBoundaryPoint(visiblePositionRange.start);
    if (!start)
        return { };
    auto end = makeBoundaryPoint(visiblePositionRange.end);
    if (!end)
        return { };

to skip the unnecessary construction of end if start is null.

One day, I will quietly turn this into a proper c++ style iterator.

Same comment about splitting this up (and in a few more places below.

This could be moved within the if-statement below.

Could use auto here. function name makes it very clear what the return type is.

This could be slightly more optimal by using uncheckedAppend. I don't think we have a map() for this case, but it would be nice if you could write something like:

operation.textRanges = WTF::mapIgnoringNullopts(markerRanges, [] (const auto& v) -> Optional<SimpleRange> { 
     if (auto range = [obj rangeForTextMarkerRange:markerRange])
         return *range;
    return WTF::nullopt;   
});

I guess I still have a crash to fix.

I’ve been pretty cavalier about such things, often valuing clarity of future refactoring over efficiency. I’m fine hosting it out of the loop in this case, though.

I’d be willing to do this, but I intentionally used the more economical style, even though it’s less efficient for the null case.

Yes, making some style of TextIterator work in a range-based for loop would not even be all that hard!

It can’t, because end is computed based on start.

OK.

I think we are *very* close to having a map() for this case. We have makeVector in VectorCocoa.h that does things like this. However, unlike the createNSArray function in the same file, it does yet not have a version that takes a mapping function, so I would have to overload makeVectorElement to use it.
