QHash implementation for QDate and QDateTime

napajejenunedk0

Suggest a qHash implementation for QDate and QDateTime that has the least performance penalty.

The implementation having the highest performance will be one that uses plain integer values and bitwise operations.
The following integer properties will be used for:

QDate: year/month/day
QDateTime: year/month/day/hour/minute/second/millisecond

An implementation that would give a unique result is the following:

Transform the QDate/QDateTime to string using the following templates:

QDate: yyyy/MM/dd
QDateTime: yyyy/MM/dd/hh/mm/ss/zzz

use the already provided qHash( const QString& ) function to generate the hash code

Such implementation has a great performance overhead since strings are involved instead of plain integer values.

I am curious to find out why QDate and QDateTime doesn't have a qHash implementation companions in the QtSDK.
Are there implementation specifics that prevent those Qt integral types from being qHash-ed?
