[DDC-1136] Prevent backup files to be recognized as valid Entity files

Sat, 14 May 2011 09:59:31 +0000

The Doctrine2 generator backup Entity files when it adds code into them. The files are named after the original file with a ~ prepended.

The problem is that these backup files are valid PHP files, and as such, they are loaded by Doctrine2. A PHP fatal error is then fired: "Cannot redeclare class...".

Instead of prepending _{, why not appending ~, which is a well supported convention? (foo.php} vs ~foo.php)

Patch is here: https://github.com/doctrine/doctrine2/pull/35
