How to run String To Hash at compile time?

Question

I'm storing hash string integer (generated by function Animator.StringToHash) as constant for global use.

 public static readonly int PARAM_MOVE = Animator.StringToHash("move");

But I want to generate hash at compile time, so that I can do this

 public const int PARAM_MOVE = CompileTime_StringToHash("move");

So how to run String To Hash at compile time? Thanks.

After re-think, I figure I can't do this. I think the way around is:

Step 1: Run Animator.StringToHash("move") and write down the hash number in paper.

Step 2: hard code public const int PARAM_MOVE = -281135240;

Or just use the read-only variable like what I'm doing.

public static readonly int PARAM_MOVE = Animator.StringToHash("move");
