From ddb70bee2fd323ddc4273aec5d40d975f50d2904 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Giuseppe D'Angelo Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2012 09:32:03 +0000 Subject: Stop relying on qHash always giving the same results The implementation of the various qHash overloads offered by Qt can change at any time for any reason (speed, quality, security, ...). Therefore, relying on the fact that qHash will always give an identical result across Qt versions (... across different processes, etc.), given identical input, is wrong. Note that this also implies that one cannot rely on QHash having a stable ordering (even without the random qHash seed). For such use cases, one must use f.i. a private hash function that will never change outside his own control. This patch adds a private hash function for QStrings, which is identical to the Qt(4) qHash(QString) implementation. A couple of spots in Qt where the results of a qHash call were actually saved on disk are ported to use the new function, and a bit of documentation is added to QHash docs.
