I can't see why you want to map UUID to a certain structure.
This is so that the type cannot mistakenly be passed to a function
taking unsigned char *, or be assigned to a variable of that type.
Right, I see the point there.
Please see our TYPE_SAFE() macro which we use to specifically
enclose certain scalar types in a structure to that they won't be
compatible with other types deriving from the same scalar base type.
I see. So what about
struct xen_uuid_t
{
uint8_t a[16];
};
then?
One can convert it to union with different representations (array,
RFC4122 struct, etc) later if there will be need for this.
