Hmm... this is what I currently use:
typedef union DIGEST_BUFFER {
unsigned char md[EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE];
guint32 val;
} DigestBuffer;
guint32 compute_drawable_checksum( GimpDrawable *drawable )
{
DigestBuffer result;
EVP_MD_CTX checksum;
GimpTile *t;
guint l, r, c;
EVP_DigestInit( &checksum, EVP_md5() );
for( r=drawable->ntile_rows; r--; )
{
for( c=drawable->ntile_cols; c--; )
{
t = gimp_drawable_get_tile(drawable,FALSE,r, c);
gimp_tile_ref( t );
EVP_DigestUpdate( &checksum, t->data,
t->ewidth * t->eheight * t->bpp );
gimp_tile_unref( t, FALSE );
}
}
EVP_DigestFinal( &checksum, result.md, &l );
return result.val;
} /* compute drawable_checksum() */
It seems pretty fast and also seems to work (at least I get the same value for
the identical images and different values for different images).
I thought that it was low-level enough not to use pixel_rgn related
functions - or am I getting something completely wrong here ?
And yes, I know that I', using only a quarter of the computed MD5 for
identifying the drawable, but srandom() can only take so much.

It would be nice to have these three function to be made public though, since
they could really be useful also in other ways, too (digitally fingerprinting
images comes to mind).

Understandable from that point of view. And given it is only a very small
piece of code, the time and effort of making it a configurable item won't
justify adding the dependency.
