Seems like this could be a helper somewhere else to be shared with other call sites instead of here in the class. I would search for other calls to CFEqual in WebKit to see what we can share with.

To combine two hashes to make a single result like this, which is a suboptimal idiom, but sometimes necessary, I suggest using pairIntHash from HashFunctions.h rather than exclusive or.

Also seems like we could put "safeCFHash" in the same place as "safeCFEqual" and make this nicer.

Sure would be nice if this struct could be a. lot simpler. So many lines of code! Need to fix our hashing machinery so this idiom is not so complex.

Argument name here is peculiar. Should not include the word "type" in the name of an argument. I think I would call it "deletedValue".

Style-wise seems it would be nicer to use one-liners like in HashFunctions.h for these functions.

I have an idea for an alternate implementation and I wonder which is more efficient in the most important cases. Here’s my alternative:

    return (a == b) || (a && b && CFEqual(a, b));

This looks like a CF equivalent of WTF::arePointingToEqualData()

How confident are we that CFEqual doesn't do the shallow comparison already? If so, then this idea would be faster if the CFEqual call hasn't already been loaded or isn't in the instruction cache. CFEqual is a pretty common operation, so I'm not sure whether or not it would be better.

Yes, CFEqual does do the shallow comparison; I didn’t mean to imply that it didn’t. But I don’t understand your logic about which version is slightly better. I’m pretty sure that my alternative generates smaller code with one fewer branch, for example.
