Another fix would be to just add these two lines:

    if (m_table)
        deallocateTable(m_table, m_tableSize);

I suppose the swap idiom is more elegant, but it would be nice to double check that it’s just as efficient too.

You could write just HashTable here or just auto. No need for that long HashTable<xxxxxxxx> thing.

The previous version does not look like it was written to be efficient. It is zeroing the attributes that depends on the table being non null.

...but I'll check.

Ok, tried both on x86_64, the version with "if (m_table)" is significantly worse than the swap().

Did you see this comment? I noticed you landed it with the long thing.

I am one of the dinosaurs who find code a lot harder to read with "auto" :)

If you feel strongly about it, I'll update to auto.

Since you don’t like auto, you can do this:

    HashTable temp = WTF::move(other);

To me it reads even better with auto, but I understand that you don’t like it. That’s why I said “just HashTable” *or* “just auto”.

Oh, I misunderstood the part about HashTable. I agree HashTable is better, I will update.
