• 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
  • UUID values can be created from 4-, 8-, or 36-character hexadecimal strings, with or without a 0x or 0X prefix. Invalid formats, including malformed hyphens or non-hexadecimal characters, are rejected.
  • Numeric UUID values are represented as 16-bit when they fit, and 32-bit otherwise.
• Bug Fixes
  • Updated the server example to use integer UUIDs consistently when creating and finding services.

Walkthrough

Arrr, UUID parsing now supports additional hexadecimal input forms, and integer construction selects storage width by value. The server example uses integer UUIDs for service creation and lookup.

Changes: UUID Handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
UUID parsing and construction src/NimBLEUUID.h, src/NimBLEUtils.h, src/NimBLEUUID.cpp	Arrr, NimBLEUUID adds a const char* constructor. Parsing accepts optional 0x or 0X prefixes and 4-, 8-, or 36-character hexadecimal UUIDs. std::string inputs of exactly 16 bytes are copied as raw 128-bit UUIDs; other inputs use the character-pointer parser. Integer construction stores values up to UINT16_MAX as 16-bit UUIDs and larger values as 32-bit UUIDs. fromString delegates to the character-pointer parser.
Integer UUIDs in the server example examples/NimBLE_Server/main/main.cpp	Arrr, service creation for DEAD and BAAD, and lookup of BAAD, now pass integer UUIDs instead of strings.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 2dddc

The UUID parsing change is mostly sound. Three minor edge cases remain: null or very short input yields a blank UUID without a log message, NimBLEUUID(0) does not compile because the call is ambiguous, and a std::string with an embedded NUL is truncated instead of rejected. None of these blocks merging, and they can be handled as follow-ups.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 57.14% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 7 functions across 4 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

_{Arrr, hex digits find their place,
Short and long UUIDs chart the space.
Integer values choose their width,
Service calls now sail straight forth.
The BAAD lookup joins the crew,
With UUIDs parsed anew!}

Review comments at @src/NimBLEUUID.cpp:
- Around line 72-132: Add the existing invalid-UUID log message to the null and
short-input early returns in the NimBLEUUID constructor, matching the logging
used by its other invalid-input path.
- Around line 138-146: Update the std::string overload of NimBLEUUID::NimBLEUUID
to reject strings containing an embedded null before delegating to the C-string
constructor, leaving the UUID blank for invalid input; preserve the existing
16-byte binary case.
- Around line 164-171: Add a NimBLEUUID(int) overload to resolve integer-literal
calls such as NimBLEUUID(0) in favor of numeric construction rather than the
pointer constructor. Reuse the existing uint32_t constructor’s initialization
behavior, preserving the handling of 16-bit and 32-bit values.
