Bug 73622 – Eliminate Duplicate word at a time equal code in StringImpl.cpp and StringHash.h

• Component: JavaScriptCore
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Michael Saboff]

Both wtf/text/StringHash.h and wtf/text/StringImpl.cpp contain platform specific code to implement equal comparison of two character arrays.

These two versions should be merged together into a common implementation.

Why is the cast needed?

We don’t normally implement the second line like this.

I think that this is too broad an overload for equal. It will allow you to pass any two pointers, including pointers to that aren’t even character types. Instead, I suggest overloading the equal function for all the combinations.
