I'm using Box2dx with C#/XNA. I'm trying to write a function that determines if a body could exist in a given point without colliding with anything:

    /// <summary>
    /// Can gameObject exist with start Point without colliding with anything?
    /// </summary>
    internal bool IsAvailableArea(GameObjectModel model, Vector2 point)
    {
        Vector2 originalPosition = model.Body.Position;
        model.Body.Position = point; // less risky would be to use a deep clone

        AABB collisionBox;
        model.Body.GetFixtureList().GetAABB(out collisionBox);

        // how is this supposed to work?
        physicsWorld.QueryAABB(x => true, ref collisionBox);

        model.Body.Position = originalPosition;
        return true;
    }

Is there a better way to go about doing this? How is World.QueryAABB supposed to work?

Here is an earlier attempt. It is broken; it always returns false.

    /// <summary>
    /// Can gameObject exist with start Point without colliding with anything?
    /// </summary>
    internal bool IsAvailableArea(GameObjectModel model, Vector2 point)
    {
        Vector2 originalPosition = model.Body.Position;
        model.Body.Position = point; // less risky would be to use a deep clone

        AABB collisionBox;
        model.Body.GetFixtureList().GetAABB(out collisionBox);

        ICollection<GameObjectController> gameObjects = worldQueryEngine.GameObjectsForPredicate(x => ! x.Model.Passable);

        foreach (GameObjectController controller in gameObjects)
        {
            AABB potentialCollidingBox;
            controller.Model.Body.GetFixtureList().GetAABB(out potentialCollidingBox);

            if (AABB.TestOverlap(ref collisionBox, ref potentialCollidingBox))
            {
                model.Body.Position = originalPosition;
                return false; // there is something that will collide at this point
            }
        }
        model.Body.Position = originalPosition;
        return true;
    }
