hi all,

working on a crossplatform program at the moment, i'm in need of a portable uuid generator ... currently, i'm using libuuid on linux and i read through the msdn about generating gid, but if there's a uuid class (maybe in boost?) that already does it, it would handy ...

thanks ... tim

I am currently working on a guid class. It is not quite done yet, but is quite functional. It does have a portable function to create guids. I have put it in the boost vault (guid.zip) in the hopes that it may one day be a boost library. I would love to here some comments about it.

Hi,

I looked at SmartWin++ but was unable to find anything about guids/uuids. If I missed it, can you give me a more specific link?

and i don't find anything, mentioning that it's cross-platform ... t -- TimBlechmann@gmx.de ICQ: 96771783 http://www.mokabar.tk The first question I ask myself when something doesn't seem to be beautiful is why do I think it's not beautiful.

well, the api looks really good (very similar to my libuuid wrapper) ... but i'm a bit lost building it ... i guess i have to run bjam, but how do i have to use it? up to now i was just using emerging boost, but i have to experience in building it :-/ thanks ... tim -- TimBlechmann@gmx.de ICQ: 96771783 http://www.mokabar.tk Linux is like a wigwam: no windows, no gates, apache inside, stable.

Thank you for posting this. I have not compiled with anything but visual studio .NET. I will look into this as soon as I can. Tim Blechmann <TimBlechmann@gmx.net> wrote in news:1143150861.3216.13.camel@localhost:

ok ... it doesn't compile on gcc-3.4 because of the following errors:

In file included from libs/guid/libs/guid/src/guid.cpp:14: libs/guid/boost/guid.hpp:172: error: expected initializer before "showbrackets" libs/guid/boost/guid.hpp:177: error: expected initializer before "noshowbrackets" libs/guid/boost/guid.hpp: In function `std::basic_ostream<_CharT, _Traits>& boost::operator<<(std::basic_ostream<_CharT, _Traits>&, const boost::guid&)': libs/guid/boost/guid.hpp:192: error: expected initializer before "ok" libs/guid/boost/guid.hpp:193: error: `ok' was not declared in this scope libs/guid/boost/guid.hpp: In function `std::basic_istream<_CharT, _Traits>& boost::operator>>(std::basic_istream<_CharT, _Traits>&, boost::guid&)': libs/guid/boost/guid.hpp:221: error: expected initializer before "ok" libs/guid/boost/guid.hpp:222: error: `ok' was not declared in this scope

the errors in lines 172 and 177 also fail on icc (__cdecl is looking pretty windoze)

I agree. I will remove it.

cheers ... tim

Thanks, Andy.

ok, i found the problem: you have to change the lines: const basic_ostream<ch, char_traits>::sentry ok(os); to: const typename basic_ostream<ch, char_traits>::sentry ok(os); best, tim -- TimBlechmann@gmx.de ICQ: 96771783 http://www.mokabar.tk Nothing exists until or unless it is observed.

Yes, there is a library done by Andy Tompkins in "Vault files resource". But, for the moment the bjam configuration is not complete (some trouble to do the linking step with the boost.thread library).

You can try to use the version#2.

ah, thanks for the quick response ... i'll try it ... tim -- TimBlechmann@gmx.de ICQ: 96771783 http://www.mokabar.tk Linux is like a wigwam: no windows, no gates, apache inside, stable.
