libs-gdl2/EOControl/EOGlobalID.h
David Ayers 899c64641d * EOControl/EOGlobalID.h: Correct size of _bytes.
* EOControl/EOGlobalID.m: Update includes.
	(sequence): Define plattform independently.
	(sequenceRev): Remove.
	([EOGlobalID isEqual:]): Fix declaration.
	([EOTemporaryGlobalID init]): Ditto.
	([EOTemporaryGlobalID isEqual:]): Ditto.  Remove access
	instance variable directly instead of relying on superflous
	accessor method.
	([EOTemporaryGlobalID assignGloballyUniqueBytes]): Rewrite and
	document.
	([EOTemporaryGlobalID _bytes]): Remove.
	([EOTemporaryGlobalID encodeWithCoder:]): Encode contents of
	bytes instead of pointer value.
	([EOTemporaryGlobalID decodeWithCoder:]): Decode contents of
	bytes instead of pointer value.

/**
* This notification is intended to allow EOTemporaryGlobalIDs
* to be replaced with the corresponding EOKeyGlobalIDs. In theory
* one could interpret this as a mechanism to allow primary key
* attributes to be mutable class properties. Even though EOF also posts
* this notification in that case, it fails to consistently propagate
* the new value through relationships. GDL2 may attempt to correct
* that shortcoming in the future, but it may have serious performance
* implications.
