Hi everyone,

Currently we use QCache container that remember the size, layout or line breaking points of some strings from the document. Basically, a key is mapped to an object.

However currently the key contains the strings, which means that globally all the document is duplicated as cache keys. This is quite a waste.

What would be a good way to replace the string by a good enough signature?

* qHash is designed to have some collisions (which are handled by the container); this is not good.
* boost::crc can be used too, but it is supposed to do something else
* would using a sha1 or a md5 make sense?
* I could do fancy things, but I'd rather avoid to import a whole library for this.

I am not looking for something that is strong against malicious attacks, but rather something that is fast and works in practice.

Ideas?
