Looks like Boost.UUID library is not maintained.
This is unfortunate and reminded me this exchange: https://twitter.com/niv_anteru/status/487496938150195200 A platform-specific random generator would apparently be far more efficient (I say apparently because I didn't know there were platform-specific uuid generation until I read this tweet). I reminded this with the fix discussion and made the ticket marked as feature request: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/10939 I'm taking note to try a patch but don't hold your breath. Also, would there be any benefit in having another typedef in C++11 mode which would use the std mersene twister instead of the boost one?
