1320815 - deCOMtaminate nsIFrame::IsSelectable

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Selection, defect)

Description

[David Baron :dbaron: 🏴󠁵󠁳󠁣󠁡󠁿 ⌚UTC-7]

While reviewing bug 389283, I noticed:

 * nsIFrame::IsSelectable is virtual, but is implemented only on nsFrame and not overridden by subclasses.  It should just be non-virtual, with the implementation on nsIFrame instead of nsFrame.

 * it returns nsresult and has a boolean out parameter, but the only time it returns a failure result is if the caller provides a null out-parameter.  It should just return the boolean result instead!

I wonder if there is any tool which can scan the whole build and list all virtual functions which only have one implementation (which means they probably shouldn't be virtual).
