Ok. If unsigned char is more than 8 bits then sizeof(guid) would be larger. Maybe this is not an issue.
If unsigned char is more than 8 bits uint8_t will not be defined. unsigned char is the smallest type; its sizeof() is always 1.
Thanks! I didn't know that. Could unsigned char be less than 8 bits? Does boost provide uint8_t just to be complete with uint?_t types? Andy.
