Hi there, there is a problem with the free flowing functions random_byte(...) and swap(...).

I am having trouble duplicating this problem. Both functions are declaired inline which should prevent this issue. Can you provide a little more information? Andy.

stdafx.obj : error LNK2005: "unsigned char __cdecl boost::detail::random_byte(void)" (?random_byte@detail@boost@@YAEXZ) already defined in database.obj stdafx.obj : error LNK2005: "void __cdecl boost::swap(class boost::guid &,class boost::guid &)" (?swap@boost@@YAXAAVguid@1@0@Z) already defined in database.obj

To solve that one would need to move the functions inside a structure.

For example:

namespace boost { namespace detail {

struct utilities { static uint8_t random_byte() { ... } };

}}
