Bug Description
There is a bug in the range-erase implementation:
The problem is that erase(first, last) treats the bucket array as linear rather than circular when clearing the erased range.
As a result, when the erased range logically wraps around the end of the bucket array, the implementation does not correctly account for the circular probe sequence before performing the backward-shift cleanup. This can leave the table in an inconsistent state and may cause incorrect behavior afterward.
In particular, this may lead to a situation where the map ends up containing duplicate keys, which violates the map invariant.
To fix this issue, I reimplemented
erase, added two overloaded version ofnext_bucket(), and introduced a new helper functioncyclic_distance()to correctly handle circular bucket traversal.I am not sure if there is a better way to fix this issue, but I hope this fix is helpful for you. 😄
