## Detailed Description

Helper class for generating and storing UUIDs, as specified in ITU-T X.667.

A UUID is an Universally Unique IDentifier. If UUIDs are generated correctly, it's almost impossible that the same UUID is generated twice.

Warning
  The implementation of this class still contains a few "FIXME" comments and should, therefore, not be used in productive environments as long as these corrections have not yet been implemented.

## Class Documentation

## ◆ OFUUID::BinaryRepresentation

struct OFUUID::BinaryRepresentation

## Member Enumeration Documentation

## ◆ E_Representation

enum OFUUID::E_Representation

The possible ways to represent a UUID.

Enumerator
ER_RepresentationInteger | The UUID is printed as one, long integer in base 10 (up to 39 digits long)
ER_RepresentationHex | The UUID is printed in hexadecimal notation with hyphens (-) separating groups.
ER_RepresentationOID | The UUID is printed as one, long integer with the prefix "2.25.".
ER_RepresentationURN | The UUID is printed in hexadecimal notation with the prefix "urn:uuid:".
ER_RepresentationDefault | The default representation that is used when none is given.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ OFUUID() [1/2]

OFUUID::OFUUID | ( |  | ) |

Default constructor.

Generates a new UUID.

Referenced by operator!=(), and operator==().

## ◆ OFUUID() [2/2]

OFUUID::OFUUID | ( | const struct BinaryRepresentation & | val | ) |

Construct a new UUID from its binary representation.

Parameters

  val | the binary representation

See also
  getBinaryRepresentation

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ generate()

void OFUUID::generate | ( |  | ) |

Generate a new UUID.

The old UUID is discarded.

## ◆ getBinaryRepresentation()

void OFUUID::getBinaryRepresentation | ( | struct BinaryRepresentation & | val | ) | const

Get the binary representation of this UUID.

Parameters

  val | the structure where the result should be saved to

## ◆ operator!=()

OFBool OFUUID::operator!= | ( | const OFUUID & | other | ) | const
| inline

Compare this instance to another OFUUID instance.

Parameters

  other | the other instance

Returns
  OFFalse if both UUIDs are equal.

References OFUUID().

## ◆ operator==()

OFBool OFUUID::operator== | ( | const OFUUID & | other | ) | const

Compare this instance to another OFUUID instance.

Parameters

  other | the other instance

Returns
  OFTrue if both UUIDs are equal.

References OFUUID().

## ◆ print()

STD_NAMESPACE ostream & OFUUID::print | ( | STD_NAMESPACE ostream & | stream,
|  | E_Representation | representation = ER_RepresentationDefault ) const

Write the string representation of this UUID to a stream.

Parameters

  stream | the output stream to write to
  representation | the representation to use

Returns
  stream

References ER_RepresentationDefault.

## ◆ printHex()

void OFUUID::printHex | ( | STD_NAMESPACE ostream & | stream | ) | const
| private

Print the hexadecimal representation to the given stream.

Parameters

  stream | stream to print to.

## ◆ printInteger()

void OFUUID::printInteger | ( | STD_NAMESPACE ostream & | stream | ) | const
| private

Print the integer representation to the given stream.

Parameters

  stream | stream to print to.

## ◆ toString()

OFString & OFUUID::toString | ( | OFString & | result,
|  | E_Representation | representation = ER_RepresentationDefault ) const

Get the string representation of this UUID.

Parameters

  result | string instance to save the result in
  representation | the representation to use

Returns
  result
