[PATCH] Return correct value for uuid_generate_time_safe

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Make return value consistent for consecutive calls.
If you call uuid_generate_time_safe, it should always
return -1 if it can't guarantee uniqueness.
Without this patch, on consecutive calls where it can't guarantee
uniqueness, the first call returns -1, but later calls return 0.
