Oh, and taking a quick look at your program, here's at least one of
the bugs:
static void calculate(char *name) {
^^^^^^^^^^
...
__ext4fs_dirhash(name, sizeof(name), &hinfo);
^^^^^^^^^^^^
With apologies to the movie "The Princess Bride"[1]:
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous
is to never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly
less well-known is this: 'taking the size of a C pointer is
generally not what you had wanted to do'! :-)
