All look-ups within the map based on the UUID then fail, as adding the object to the map is essentially a copy operation and UUID is non-copyable, so new unique identifiers were generated. I then tried:
Std::map <boost::uuids::uuid *, myClass*> myMap;
AFAIK uuid is copyable as it's a POD. However, I don't know about this problem but I remember having failed to make uuid a key of map (I don't remember the reason). If that can help you, I'm using a workaround to allow this : I convert the uuid to std::string (using the generator function) and use it in my whole application to allow finding by uuid from maps. That's obviously more expensive but it works fine. Joël Lamotte
