I am using the following in my program for proof of concept.

( This was extracted straight from the documentation)

boost::uuids::string_generator gen;

boost::uuids::uuid u1 =
gen("{01234567-89ab-cdef-0123456789abcdef}");

The problem is a missing dash.  The line should read:
boost::uuids::uuid u1 =
gen("{01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-4567890abcdef}");
Note that there are 4 dashes, not 3.

crashing in : template <typename CharIterator>

    uuid operator()(CharIterator begin, CharIterator end) const

crashing at : *it_byte = get_value(c)

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong.

When I remove the dashes it seems to work......

Removing the dashes also works by design.

Regards,
Andy.
