Before:
let g:loclist = [
\ {'lnum': 2, 'col': 10},
\ {'lnum': 3, 'col': 2},
\ {'lnum': 3, 'col': 10},
\ {'lnum': 3, 'col': 12},
\ {'lnum': 3, 'col': 25},
\ {'lnum': 5, 'col': 4},
\ {'lnum': 5, 'col': 5},
\]
Execute (Exact column matches should be correct):
AssertEqual 1, ale#util#BinarySearch(g:loclist, 3, 2)
Execute (Off lines, there should be no match):
AssertEqual -1, ale#util#BinarySearch(g:loclist, 4, 2)
Execute (Near column matches should be taken):
AssertEqual 2, ale#util#BinarySearch(g:loclist, 3, 11)
AssertEqual 4, ale#util#BinarySearch(g:loclist, 3, 13)
Execute (Columns before should be taken when the cursor is far ahead):
AssertEqual 4, ale#util#BinarySearch(g:loclist, 3, 300)
After:
unlet g:loclist
