Well, you could put each file in its own Group and set cpp.commonCompilerFlags in each Group. I'm not suggesting you actually do this due to the inconvenience, but it raises an interesting question about how we could potentially make something like this more usable.

I think a new property on the cpp module which calculates the hash and adds this flag for you (-frandom-seed=qbs.getHash(input.filePath)?), would be welcome, though.
