Bug 138567 – Some functions on DictionaryLookup.h should just be generic functions on Range or VisiblePosition

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: HTML Editing

[Beth Dakin]

Some functions on DictionaryLookup.h should just be generic functions on Range or VisiblePosition, specifically isPositionInRange() and shouldUseSelection()

[Beth Dakin]

And rangeExpandedAroundPositionByCharacters()! Which is code originally stolen from Editor, according to Tim.

Can't we be more generic here and have the prototype of this function: bool Range::contains(const VisiblePosition &start, const VisiblePosition &end)?

> Source/WebCore/editing/mac/DictionaryLookup.mm:61
> +    return selectedRange->contains(position);

To check whether a VisiblePosition is in a range of VisibleSelection, is not it sufficient to call Range::isPointInRange()?
What is the difference if VisiblePosition is at the boundary of the range of VisibleSelection when:
1. calling Range::isPointInRange()
2. calling the deleted function isPositionInRange()
3. calling Range::contains()
