cadex::Base_Uuid Class Reference

Defines a Universally Unique IDentifier (UUID), also known as GUIDs (Globally Unique IDentifier). A UUID is a 16-byte (128-bit) number, that is unique in the computer system (guaranteed by generated algorithm ). More...

Public Member Functions
	Base_Uuid ()
	Creates the null UUID.
	Base_Uuid (const ValueType *theData)
	Creates a UUID with the values specified by the parameter. The function assumes theData contains 16 bytes and initializes the object with the values of these 16 bytes.
	Base_Uuid (DataType theData)
const DataType &	Data () const
bool	IsNull () const
	operator bool () const
bool	operator== (const Base_Uuid &theOther) const
bool	operator!= (const Base_Uuid &theOther) const
Base_String	ToString () const
	Returns the string representation of this UUID. The string representation of a uuid is "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" where 'x' is a hexidecimal digit.

Static Public Member Functions
static Base_Uuid	FromString (const Base_String &theStr)
	Creates a UUID object from a string. String must be formatted as five hex fields separated by '-', e.g., "{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}" where each 'x' is a hexidecimal digit. The curly braces shown here are optional. If the conversion fails, a null UUID is returned.

CreateRandom()

Base_Uuid cadex::Base_Uuid::CreateRandom ( )

static

Creates new random uuid. This method is thread-safe and uses mutex to syncrhonize access to random number generator.

IsNull()

bool cadex::Base_Uuid::IsNull

(

)

const

Returns true if this is the null UUID {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}; otherwise returns false.
