[elephant-devel] unique object IDs and OIDs

[Tomo Matsumoto]

Thanks for your response, Alex.

When we pass a nonexistent oid to controller-recreate-instance, it
recreates an instance, but I am looking for a function which returns
nil.
Is there such a function? (Or a way to implement such.)

Thanks in advance.

Tomo
