Not for D124704 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D124704>. It doesn't make sense to 
require a stable hash algorithm for an internal cache file. All that it 
requires is that StringMap provides the hash value for a string, which it does 
with the public hash(). If that implementation changes, the EXPENSIVE_CHECKS 
assert will find that when unittesting the LLDB parts, and in that case the 
versioned cache file can have its version increased and problem solved. Even in 
case StringMap implementation changes in a way that no longer makes it feasible 
to store the precomputed hash value it's simpler to just dump the optimization.

So no need to overcomplicate this. As for the case of somebody else trying to 
rely on the stability of the hash, I can solve that by adding a comment that 
says it's not stable (and then that somebody else can go to the lengths of 
making it stable if needed).
