Why? What is it going to do with the ID? Why not make the ID a void* pointer? And what semantics does this "unique identification" have? Once an object is deleted, another new'd object may get its address; I can hardly qualify that as "unique ID". I have a set of objects and these objects have corresponding representations in the other part of my program (for debugging purposes [visualization]). Two parts of the program do not know about each other. One part calls a functions f and another part receives the call. I need to know what object initiated this call. It's given that objects are not destroyed, hence this is unique in that case.

Making it void* is an option. Though I was looking for a more elegant solution. Thanks for the example. Thanks. -- Regards, Alexander. http://sjcomp.com
