Hello,

I'd like to provide a function with an unique identifier: void f(size_t UniqueId);

Why not generate a GUID as a unique identifier. I know there is functionality for that under Windows and I highly suspect there is functionality for generating a GUID under Linux and Mac.

Or boost.GUID -- provisionally accepted library. GUID v7 in the vault I believe is the latest version: http://www.boost-consulting.com/vault/ Jeff
