-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] There are quite a few hashing functions out there for strings. The C++ STL contains one that you can use directly if you so wish. It is pretty generic since it is not optimized for any specific sequence of characters (such as you might see in filepaths), but it should be 'good-enough' for the generic purpose.
Also, boost has a hashing library that works well, could always use that.
