Constructor & Destructor Documentation

UUID ( int64_t  lDateTime,
InetAddress::View  vAddr,
int32_t  nPort,
int32_t  nCount 
) [protected]

Build a UUID from its constituent members (advanced constructor).

It is guaranteed that a generated UUID will never equal a built UUID.

Parameters:
lDateTime the creation date/time millis portion of the UUID
vAddr the InetAddress portion of the UUID
nPort the port number portion of the UUID; a port number is 16 bits, but up to 28 bits of data from this value will be maintained by the UUID
nCount the counter portion of the UUID

UUID ( int64_t  lDateTime,
Array< octet_t >::View  vabIP,
int32_t  nPort,
int32_t  nCount 
) [protected]

Build a UUID from its constituent members (advanced constructor).

It is guaranteed that a generated UUID will never equal a built UUID.

Parameters:
lDateTime the creation date/time millis portion of the UUID
vabIP the InetAddress portion of the UUID
nPort the port number portion of the UUID; a port number is 16 bits, but up to 28 bits of data from this value will be maintained by the UUID
nCount the counter portion of the UUID

UUID ( String::View  vs  )  [protected]

Construct a UUID from a String.

Parameters:
vs a string as would be returned from UUID.toString()

UUID ( Array< octet_t >::View  vab  )  [protected]

Construct a UUID from a byte array.

Parameters:
vab a byte array as would be returned from UUID.toByteArray()

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool isGenerated (  )  const [virtual]

True if the UUID was generated, and false if it was built.

A generated UUID is universally unique. Note that the port number is random if the UUID is generated.

Returns:
true if the UUID was generated

virtual int64_t getTimestamp (  )  const [virtual]

Determine the date/time value for the UUID.

Returns:
date/time value in millis

virtual bool isAddressIncluded (  )  const [virtual]

True if the IP address is a real IP address.

This is only false if two conditions are met: The UUID is generated, and it could not get an IP address (or one that is not a loopback/localhost address).

Returns:
true if the UUID has IP address information

virtual Array<octet_t>::View getAddress (  )  const [virtual]

Determine the internet address of the host that generated the UUID instance.

Returns:
an array of bytes containing the IP address information; the array can be zero bytes (no address,) four bytes (IPv4) or 16 bytes (IPv6)

virtual int32_t getPort (  )  const [virtual]

Determine the port portion of the UUID.

Note that the port is a 28-bit value; the first nibble is always 0x0.

Returns:
the port portion of the UID

virtual int32_t getCount (  )  const [virtual]

Determine the "counter" portion of the UUID that ensures that two UUIDs generated at the same exact time by the same process are unique.

Returns:
a number that helps to make the UUID unique

virtual Array<octet_t>::View toByteArray (  )  const [virtual]

Convert the UUID to a byte array of 32 bytes.

Returns:
the UUID data as a byte array of 32 bytes

Member Data Documentation

int32_t m_nAddr1 [mutable, protected]

Internet address of host that generated the UUID instance.

For IPv4, this contains the entire IP address. For IPv6, this contains only the first four bytes of the address. If the UUID is auto-generated and it could not obtain a real address, then this is a random number.

int32_t m_nAddr2 [mutable, protected]

The second four bytes of the IP address.

For IPv6, this is the second four bytes of the IP address. If the UUID is auto-generated and it could not obtain a real address, then this is a random number. Otherwise if the UUID is built (not generated) and the address is IPv4, then this is zero.

int32_t m_nAddr3 [mutable, protected]

The third four bytes of the IP address.

For IPv6, this is the third four bytes of the IP address. If the UUID is auto-generated and it could not obtain a real address, then this is a random number. Otherwise if the UUID is built (not generated) and the address is IPv4, then this is zero.

int32_t m_nAddr4 [mutable, protected]

The fourth four bytes of the IP address.

For IPv6, this is the fourth four bytes of the IP address. If the UUID is auto-generated and it could not obtain a real address, then this is a random number. Otherwise if the UUID is built (not generated) and the address is IPv4, then this is zero.

int32_t m_nPort [mutable, protected]

The least significant two bytes of this value are the port number if the UUID is built (not generated).

Otherwise this is a random number, with the exception of the most significant nibble. The most significant nibble contains the flags of the UUID.

Volatile<size32_t> m_nHash [mutable, protected]

Cache the hash.

Only zero pending deserialization or generation.
