Re: [boost] [uuid] proposed fix for windows_generator.hpp

I have attached a test case that is showing the difference of the choosen implementationen and the expected one. The expected one was validated using the VS debugger, too.

To save others checking the provided code: Microsoft's GUID class (which it also calls a UUID) stores the internal values as uint32_t, uint16_t, uint16_t, uint8_t[8] in native -- little-endian -- byte order, so the first 3 members need byte order reversing to match the in-memory format specified by the RFC. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa379358%28VS.85%29.aspx
