I want to use boost::uuids::detail::sha1 to create a hash for a large binary blob.
See: boost uuid sha1
sha1 is in the detail namespace and as such should not be ‘relied upon’. How can I create the SHA1 hash for my blob without instantiating objects in detail?
Your choices are:
boost::uuids::detail::sha1, and if it changes in a future release, deal with it then.
