I'd really like to see the MAC address + time generator. I realize that this might be a pain to do in a cross-platform manner, but it would make the library more complete in my eyes, and more likely for me to recommend it to my colleagues. Is there a way that the library could be engineered so that we could provide our own generation implementation?
I agree that it would be very useful to have a time based guid generator. I will continue to look in to this. In the meantime, one could write a function to create guids based on anything they want, eg:
How useful can seed using MAC address + time be in system with multiple cores? Shouldn't it be CoreID + time? Just image you have 16 cores and just one MAC address. Is such an assumption valid to make? Christian
