re: GUIDs are designed to be unique, not random
@Simon Buchan: Since all generations are random, you can just get two random numbers once and found they are the same. The "number of generation to make it feasible" is irrelevent (or I should say,...

@Jolyon Smith: I think this is more of an "edge case" because while you're operating within allowed parameters, you're outside *recommended* ones. To you, I recommend using the old-fashioned way to...

@cheong00: "Since all generations are random, you can just get two random numbers once and found they are the same." Yes, with a 1 in $BIGNUM (excuse me, that's $BIGBIGBIGNUM) probability! Who cares?

Just to give the third method some love. There is a third method to export symbols, that is the linker's /export command line option. This can be put into a source file using the #pragma directive....

re: GUIDs are designed to be unique, not random
The original problem is about shuffling a jury pool, so there is no need for cryptography, passwords or any such thing. If using C/C++, rand() would work just fine. Just walk the list, exchanging each...

@Aaron: Mostly the number of bytes of parameters in __stdcall and __fastcall, but there's slightly more to it. Search __fastcall on MSDN and you should find the info.

This gives me an idea for an interview question: using a rand() function with RAND_MAX = 32767, write a function which returns 1, 2, or 3 with equal probability.

@Aaron: Read the post linked to in the "C mangling" link in the third blockquote. Each different calling convention has a slightly different name decoration in C.
