Improve NimBLEUUID construction from literals and strings - #1213
Replace the separate 16-bit and 32-bit integer constructors with a single uint32_t constructor. Values up to 0xFFFF create 16-bit UUIDs; larger values create 32-bit UUIDs, allowing convenient construction such as NimBLEUUID(0x1234) and NimBLEUUID(0x12345678).
Add a const char* constructor supporting 16-bit, 32-bit, and hyphenated 128-bit UUID strings, with optional 0x prefixes for short UUIDs.
Handle null C-string input and check the expected hyphen positions in 128-bit UUID strings.
Route fromString() through the shared string parser while preserving the std::string constructor’s 16-byte binary UUID handling.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
UUIDs can be created from C-style strings or std::string values using 16-, 32-, or 128-bit hexadecimal forms, with optional 0x or 0X prefixes.
UUID text parsing validates hexadecimal characters and hyphen placement in 128-bit values, and accepts 16-byte binary values provided as strings.
Numeric UUID values up to the 16-bit range are represented as 16-bit UUIDs; larger values are represented as 32-bit UUIDs.
Bug Fixes
Invalid UUID text lengths, hexadecimal characters, or hyphen placement are rejected rather than producing a valid UUID.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
Arr, NimBLEUUID adds C-string parsing for UUIDs and routes non-binary std::string inputs and fromString through that parser. Its integer constructor selects 16-bit or 32-bit storage. Examples now pass numeric UUID values directly.
Arr, NimBLEUUID adds a const char* constructor and removes the uint16_t overload. The parser accepts optional 0x or 0X prefixes, validates hexadecimal digits and hyphen positions in 36-character inputs, and stores UUID bytes in little-endian order. The std::string constructor preserves 16-byte binary inputs and sends other inputs to the parser. fromString uses the same parser. The uint32_t constructor stores values up to UINT16_MAX as 16-bit UUIDs and larger values as 32-bit UUIDs. NimBLEUtils::hexToByte converts hexadecimal characters and returns 0xFF for other characters.
Numeric UUID example calls examples/NimBLE_Server/NimBLE_Server.ino, examples/NimBLE_Stream_Echo/NimBLE_Stream_Echo.ino
Arr, the server example passes numeric UUIDs when it creates and looks up services. The stream example passes numeric UUIDs directly to bleStream.begin; its other arguments remain unchanged.
h2zero/NimBLE-Arduino#1206: Arr, this PR changes integer-based NimBLEUUID construction and adds lookup overloads that construct UUIDs.
Merge Risk: Low · previous review 330ee
Some existing UUID inputs can now produce a different width or an invalid UUID, affecting service advertising and lookup. The affected callers have workarounds, but the compatibility changes warrant owner attention before merging.

Review comments at @src/NimBLEUUID.cpp:
- Around line 100-102: Validate each UUID hexadecimal group and its available
characters before advancing the parse position in the conversion logic shown.
Sequence the strtoull calls explicitly so later conversions cannot read beyond
the C-string; preserve the existing UUID parsing behavior for valid input.
- Around line 144-146: Update NimBLEUUID::operator== to compare 16-bit and
32-bit UUID values numerically when their values are equal, so a 16-bit UUID
matches its equivalent zero-extended 32-bit UUID. Preserve the existing
comparison behavior for UUIDs of the same width and other UUID types.
- Line 124: Update the textual-string path that forwards value to the C-string
UUID parser to reject strings containing embedded NUL characters before parsing;
preserve the existing 16-byte binary branch unchanged.
- Around line 94-96: Update NimBLEUUID::to128() to handle an empty UUID without
dereferencing a null pointer, preserving the class’s established empty-value
behavior. In NimBLEBeacon::setProximityUUID(), check the conversion result
before reading it and handle an empty result safely.
- Around line 87-92: Validate every character in the 4- and 8-digit UUID
branches before converting with strtoul; reject malformed input rather than
accepting a partially parsed value. Preserve the existing valid UUID conversion
behavior so invalid text cannot match a cached service.
Review comments at @src/NimBLEUUID.h:
- Line 49: Update the NimBLEUUID(const char* value) constructor to preserve
16-byte binary C-string UUIDs by recognizing and handling that input before
stripping any 0x prefix; retain the existing behavior for other input formats.

Arr, document the change to 32-bit integer UUIDs.
A small uint32_t now produces a 16-bit UUID. If a caller passes it to setCompleteServices32, the service is skipped. It also no longer compares equal to the same value constructed from an eight-digit string.
Direct callers that need a 32-bit UUID to use an eight-digit string, such as NimBLEUUID("0000180d").

Review comment at @src/NimBLEUUID.cpp around lines 166 - 173:
Document the width inference in the NimBLEUUID(uint32_t) constructor: values
that fit in 16 bits produce 16-bit UUIDs, so callers needing a 32-bit UUID
should use an eight-digit string such as "0000180d". Note that this distinction
affects use with setCompleteServices32 and equality with explicitly 32-bit
UUIDs.
