Compiler Error C2787
'identifier' : no GUID has been associated with this object
The __uuidof operator takes a user-defined type with a GUID attached or an object of such a user-defined type. This error occurs when the argument is a user-defined type with no GUID.
The following sample generates C2787:
// C2787.cpp
#include <windows.h>
struct F {};
struct __declspec(uuid("00000000-0000-0000-c000-000000000046")) F2;
int main() {
__uuidof(F); // C2787
__uuidof(F2); // OK
}
