Struct qt_core::QUuid

#[repr(C)]
pub struct QUuid { /* private fields */ }

The QUuid class stores a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID).

C++ class: QUuid.

C++ documentation:

The QUuid class stores a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID).

Using Universally Unique IDentifiers (UUID) is a standard way to uniquely identify entities in a distributed computing environment. A UUID is a 16-byte (128-bit) number generated by some algorithm that is meant to guarantee that the UUID will be unique in the distributed computing environment where it is used. The acronym GUID is often used instead, Globally Unique IDentifiers, but it refers to the same thing.

Actually, the GUID is one variant of UUID. Multiple variants are in use. Each UUID contains a bit field that specifies which type (variant) of UUID it is. Call variant() to discover which type of UUID an instance of QUuid contains. It extracts the three most significant bits of byte 8 of the 16 bytes. In QUuid, byte 8 is QUuid::data4[0]. If you create instances of QUuid using the constructor that accepts all the numeric values as parameters, use the following table to set the three most significant bits of parameter b1, which becomes QUuid::data4[0] and contains the variant field in its three most significant bits. In the table, 'x' means don't care.

msb0	msb1	msb2	Variant
0	x	x	NCS (Network Computing System)
1	0	x	DCE (Distributed Computing Environment)
1	1	0	Microsoft (GUID)
1	1	1	Reserved for future expansion

If variant() returns QUuid::DCE, the UUID also contains a version field in the four most significant bits of QUuid::data3, and you can call version() to discover which version your QUuid contains. If you create instances of QUuid using the constructor that accepts all the numeric values as parameters, use the following table to set the four most significant bits of parameter w2, which becomes QUuid::data3 and contains the version field in its four most significant bits.

msb0	msb1	msb2	msb3	Version
0	0	0	1	Time
0	0	1	0	Embedded POSIX
0	0	1	1	Md5(Name)
0	1	0	0	Random
0	1	0	1	Sha1

The field layouts for the DCE versions listed in the table above are specified in the Network Working Group UUID Specification.

Most platforms provide a tool for generating new UUIDs, e.g. uuidgen and guidgen. You can also use createUuid(). UUIDs generated by createUuid() are of the random type. Their QUuid::Version bits are set to QUuid::Random, and their QUuid::Variant bits are set to QUuid::DCE. The rest of the UUID is composed of random numbers. Theoretically, this means there is a small chance that a UUID generated by createUuid() will not be unique. But it is a very small chance.

UUIDs can be constructed from numeric values or from strings, or using the static createUuid() function. They can be converted to a string with toString(). UUIDs have a variant() and a version(), and null UUIDs return true from isNull().

pub unsafe fn create_uuid() -> CppBox<QUuid>

On any platform other than Windows, this function returns a new UUID with variant QUuid::DCE and version QUuid::Random. If the /dev/urandom device exists, then the numbers used to construct the UUID will be of cryptographic quality, which will make the UUID unique. Otherwise, the numbers of the UUID will be obtained from the local pseudo-random number generator (qrand(), which is seeded by qsrand()) which is usually not of cryptograhic quality, which means that the UUID can't be guaranteed to be unique.

Calls C++ function: static QUuid QUuid::createUuid().

On a Windows platform, a GUID is generated, which almost certainly will be unique, on this or any other system, networked or not.

Returns true if this QUuid has the same variant field as the other QUuid and is lexicographically after the other QUuid. If the other QUuid has a different variant field, the return value is determined by comparing the two variants.

See also variant().

impl Le<Ref<QUuid>> for QUuid

unsafe fn le(&self, rhs: &Ref<QUuid>) -> bool

Returns true if the numeric Unicode value of c1 is less than or equal to that of c2; otherwise returns false.

Calls C++ function: bool operator<=(const QUuid& lhs, const QUuid& rhs).

Warning: no exact match found in C++ documentation. Below is the C++ documentation for bool operator<=(QChar c1, QChar c2):

Returns true if the numeric Unicode value of c1 is less than or equal to that of c2; otherwise returns false.

impl Lt<Ref<QUuid>> for QUuid

unsafe fn lt(&self, other: &Ref<QUuid>) -> bool

Returns true if this QUuid has the same variant field as the other QUuid and is lexicographically before the other QUuid. If the other QUuid has a different variant field, the return value is determined by comparing the two variants.

Calls C++ function: bool QUuid::operator<(const QUuid& other) const.

C++ documentation:

Returns true if this QUuid has the same variant field as the other QUuid and is lexicographically before the other QUuid. If the other QUuid has a different variant field, the return value is determined by comparing the two variants.

impl PartialEq<Ref<QUuid>> for QUuid

fn eq(&self, orig: &Ref<QUuid>) -> bool

Returns true if this QUuid and the other QUuid are identical; otherwise returns false.

Calls C++ function: bool QUuid::operator==(const QUuid& orig) const.

C++ documentation:

Returns true if this QUuid and the other QUuid are identical; otherwise returns false.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

This method tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
