[jira] [Created] (CELIX-391) The utils_stringHash does not generate unique hashes.

Roy Lenferink created CELIX-391:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: The utils_stringHash does not generate unique hashes.
                 Key: CELIX-391
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CELIX-391
             Project: Celix
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Roy Lenferink
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: utils_stringHash bug.png

The utils_stringHash function is generating the same id for a set of different strings.

The following code can be used (the DJB2 Hash algorithm):
--------------------------------------------
unsigned int hc = 5381;
char ch;
while((ch = *string++) != '\0') {
        hc = (hc << 5) + hc + ch;
}
return hc;
---------------------------------------------
