TYPO3 Core

another thing to keep in mind while testing is that uniqid("", TRUE) returns id which contains a dot, e.g. "53a4364e8598c4.29100310"
Implementation:

if (more_entropy) {
        spprintf(&uniqid, 0, "%s%08x%05x%.8F", prefix, sec, usec, php_combined_lcg(TSRMLS_C) * 10);
    } else {
        spprintf(&uniqid, 0, "%s%08x%05x", prefix, sec, usec);
    }

i think a better solution would be to create something like

...\GeneralUtility\UniqueId()

which unifies the generation of unique ids, and replace all calls to uniqid() with calls to that function.
this might be done with a smart shell-script (grep/sed), should fix pretty much all uniqid()-related errors, and allows easy modification for possible future changes to unique-id-generation.

note that I encountered typo3-exceptions related to PATTERN_ENTRYIDENTIFIER in sysext/core/Classes/Cache/Frontend/FrontendInterface.php with TYPO3 6.2.12, these don't seem to be covered by the above commits/patches.

Hello Roman,

I just created a ticket for that.
Any additional thoughts?
