Do you have a requirement to return the wstring by value? Why not by
const&? Goes back to Lars' COW string remark.

Also, your "random" string is not random at all, but constant in fact.
Isn't that a pathological case?

Unless your indexed members change often, you could also cache the hash.
Especially if your string can be long. --DD
