I implements MSC++ keyword __uuid partly with template.
It May be usefull to port ATL and lastest MFC library to DMC++.

The source code.

#include <ole2.h> //for type REFIID ...

template <typename T> struct UUID_Traits;

#define DEFINE_IID_TRAITS(interface) \
template<> struct UUID_Traits<interface>\
{\
static REFIID GetIID()\
{\
return IID_ ## interface;\
}\
};

DEFINE_IID_TRAITS(IUnknown)
DEFINE_IID_TRAITS(IDispatch)

template <typename T> inline
REFIID uuidof(T&)
{
return UUID_Traits<T>::GetIID();
}

template <typename T> inline
REFIID uuidof(T*)
{
return UUID_Traits<T>::GetIID();
}

//-0------testing------0-

#include <stdio.h>

void print_iid(REFIID riid)
{
LPOLESTR test;
StringFromCLSID(riid, &test);
printf("%ws\n", test);
CoTaskMemFree(test);
}

int main()
{
CoInitialize(0);
IDispatch* p1;
IUnknown& p = *p1;  

print_iid(uuidof(p));
print_iid(uuidof(p1));   

CoUninitialize();
}

COMSTL has had this for several years, in the form of its IID_traits<> 
class template, where it forms an integral part of the interface_cast<> 
mechanisms. It also resolves to using __uuidof on compilers that support 
it. See comstl_interface_cast.h, comstl_interface_traits.h & 
comstl_interface_traits_std.h

The full technique's explained in detail in Chapter 19 of my book, 
Imperfect C++ (http://www.awprofessional.com/titles/0321228774/).
