DateVersion Description
2008-Jul-05 14:58    1.16    Check-in [6010]: remove OSSP uuid from CVS -- it is now versioned controlled in a Monotone repository By rse. (diff)
2008-Jan-10 15:18    1.15    Check-in [5985]: adjust copyright messages for 2008 and bump version in advance By rse. (diff)
2007-Jan-01 19:14    1.14    Check-in [5676]: Adjust copyright messages for new year 2007. By rse. (diff)
2006-Oct-06 10:32    1.13    Check-in [5659]: Change type of "data_ptr" argument in uuid_export() API signature from "void **" to "void " as there is unfortunately no "generic pointer to pointer type" in ISO C (see also ¤http://c-faq.com/ptrs/genericpp.html) and "void **" is just a "pointer to a 'void *'".

The "void **" especially had the nasty side-effect that it breaks strict pointer aliasing rules of ISO C and hence would require fiddling with temporary variables on all uuid_export() calls if one would be 100% correct and avoid aliasing related compiler warnings. Instead, as uuid_export() internally has to cast the "data_ptr" to the particular expected type anyway, it is better to have "data_ptr" just be a really generic "void *" in the API signature.

Keep in mind that although this is an API change, it doesn't cause any incompatibilities as the function still expects the same "pointer to a pointer of a particular type". This expected pointer is just now passed the more correct although less intuitive way.
