Subject: Add a fast_hash function in common-utils
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1a6ff1a96b302283d517b3cdeae7310adecbe859;p=binutils-gdb.git

Add a fast_hash function in common-utils

Also updates a caller in symtab.c. For now this just calls htab_hash_string
but the next patch will change it to xxhash, if available.

gdb/ChangeLog:

2019-10-22  Christian Biesinger  <cbiesinger@google.com>

	* utils.h (fast_hash): New function.
	* symtab.c (hash_demangled_name_entry): Call new function
	fast_hash.
