Hi Andy,
I'm sorry to be quite < pushy > but are you making some progress on the next release of you proposal of guid class?
I have been almost ready to put a new version in the boost vault for awhile now, but I have been having a bit of a problem with bjam (only because I don't know it very well). I have put a new version in the boost vault anyway. It has all the changes that have beed talked about and a platform independent create() function (relies on random and date_time from boost), but it is not thread safe yet. The code to make it thread safe is just commented out until I can get bjam to link with the threads library (maybe you can give me a hand?).
The functionalities of your proposal are really present in our current project development and I would like to know when you plan to publish your next release.
By the way, do you have a look on my previous email 22/02?
I did look at your previous post. I should have replied earlier. I added a function called byte_count() (unless you can think of a better name) that will allow one to preallocate the output buffer, as follows. boost::guid id; std::vector<char> bytes(id.byte_count()); id.output_bytes(bytes.begin());
Best regards,
Marc Viala
Thanks again for your interest and feedback, it has already made it a better library. Andy.
