This code is extremely simple, but it begs several questions, and I hope this forum is appropriate for discussion:
1. Is there something similar in boost already?
Nope.
2. Are nested anonymous namespaces portable across most common implementations?
Unknown, I think.
3. Does anyone know of a better way of doing this, especially overcoming the problem with having multiple declarations on the same line?
I don't think there is one.
4. Does anyone know of a way to create a unique object id constant that does not require something like using the address of a static variable -- this would require memory for each instance of the object id? 5. Any other comments about this snippet, or related issues?
Out of curiosity, what is (are) the motivating use case(s) for it? -- Aleksey Gurtovoy MetaCommunications Engineering
