do I understand your suggestion correct, you propose to replace the
#define SYMNAME_HASH_INDEX(name) ...
in defs.h by something like
static unsigned long long SYMNAME_HASH_INDEX(const unsigned char * const name) {
return (name[0] ^ (name[strlen(name)-1] * name[strlen(name)/2]) % SYMNAME_HASH);
}
in symbols.c? If so, I think that should be fine.
Thanks
