A bit off-topic, but anyway... I wrote what I intended to be a self-contained UUID type. I based my design on Andy's work, thanks Andy! And thanks, Scott, for your advice on constructors. Well, I would like to present my work and get some feedback from the readers of this list. Does this code help you? Is there any missing feature? Would you do something different? https://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=257043&filename=ooid-0.5.tar.gz I fully support the inclusion of Andy's class in the Boost Library. As I said before, I think that a collection of this kind of concrete types may have great impact on the "perceived usefulness" of the C++ language, just like Boost as a whole. http://www.nabble.com/file/p23917445/ooid-0.5.tar.gz ooid-0.5.tar.gz Thanks, Kenneth Andy Tompkins wrote:

Did you mean the UUID library? Thanks for your answer but I was really talking the GUID library Please look at this post to better see which library I am talking of:

http://www.nabble.com/-Review--The-review-of-the-Boost.Guid-library-starts-t...

As far as I remember, that GUID library is just an earlier version of today's UUID library. It was suggested during the review to rename it from GUID to UUID, so I think the latest version of UUID library will be most appropriate.

This is correct. The GUID library was renamed to UUID.
