Christian Biesinger has uploaded a new patch set version (#2).

Change URL: https://gnutoolchain-gerrit.osci.io/r/c/binutils-gdb/+/38
......................................................................

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:

2019-09-27  Christian Biesinger  <cbiesinger@google.com>

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