如何将 time-uuid(存储在 boost uuid 中）转换为时间戳/自纪元以来的时间?

我认为通过将 UUID 处理为字符串并使用字符串操作提取时间戳信息，然后将其转换为数值会更容易理解。诀窍是时间戳信息存储在 UUID 中的方式。从规范：

UUID 字符串表示形式的正式定义是 由以下ABNF [7]提供：

UUID                   = time-low "-" time-mid "-"
time-high-and-version "-"
clock-seq-and-reserved
clock-seq-low "-" node
time-low               = 4hexOctet
time-mid               = 2hexOctet
time-high-and-version  = 2hexOctet
clock-seq-and-reserved = hexOctet
clock-seq-low          = hexOctet
node                   = 6hexOctet
hexOctet               = hexDigit hexDigit
hexDigit =
"0" / "1" / "2" / "3" / "4" / "5" / "6" / "7" / "8" / "9" /
"a" / "b" / "c" / "d" / "e" / "f" /
"A" / "B" / "C" / "D" / "E" / "F"

以下是 UUID 的字符串表示形式示例 作为骨灰盒：

urn：uuid：f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6

即 UUID 的第一部分(在 '-' 之前(是时间低音版本，第二部分是时间中段，第三部分是时间高版本，第一个字符是 UUID 版本。因此，我们需要拆分 UUID 并重新组合这些时间戳部分以创建完整的时间戳字符串，如下所示： {time-high minus-version}{time-mid}{time-low}

这是修改后的代码段。我以这个漂亮的javascript示例作为参考：https://stackoverflow.com/a/26915856/3694234

}

输出

Time now: 1571838175000

恕我直言，你一直做得不好。阅读您提供的文档，我尝试从UUID重新生成时间戳。这是我的代码：

uint64_t TimestampFromUUID(const boost::uuids::uuid& uuid) {
static constexpr const int UUID_SIZE = 16;
static_assert(sizeof(uuid) == UUID_SIZE, "Invalid size of uuid");
static constexpr const int MS_FROM_100NS_FACTOR = 10000;
static constexpr const uint64_t OFFSET_FROM_15_10_1582_TO_EPOCH = 122192928000000000;
uint64_t timestamp = uuid.data[3] + (uuid.data[2] << 8) + (uuid.data[1] << 16) + (uuid.data[0] << 24);
timestamp += ((uint64_t)uuid.data[4] << 40) + ((uint64_t)uuid.data[5] << 32);
timestamp += ((uint64_t)uuid.data[7] << 48) + ((uint64_t)(uuid.data[6] & 0x0F) << 56);
return (timestamp - OFFSET_FROM_15_10_1582_TO_EPOCH) / MS_FROM_100NS_FACTOR;
}
