Thank you for that link. I have also several time tried to implement
such a compile-time hash in C, but without success (neither with
macros, enums, nor templates).
The code of Chris Savoie seems to work however (with optimizations turned on).

Out of curiosity, did you implement the Lua hashing function or something specific to your code (meaning you hash the C string during runtime) ?
