Problem with function returning uuid_t

[stefan65]

Can someone help me with this?

#include <uuid/uuid.h>

uuid_t getUuid() {
	uuid_t uuid;
	uuid_generate(uuid);

	return uuid;
}

../main.cpp:10:16: error: ‘getUuid’ declared as function returning an array
 uuid_t getUuid() {
                ^

Thanks in advance, Stefan

You cannot return an array. Provide the data like uuid_generate(...).

void getUuid(uuid_t &uuid) {
	uuid_generate(uuid);
}

Thank you for the answer. I have got a segmentation fault, but I have found another solution.
