It might be everything from "slightly later" to "never" (because perhaps sevice Foo from lib A is needed, but Bar isn't at all). I used to use the following pattern to prevent this: - implement extern "C" void SAL_CALL createServiceInfo_Foo() { static sdecl::ServiceDecl const myDecl( sdecl::class_<MyImpl>(), "org.openoffice.Foo", "org.openoffice.comp.Foo" ); } beside my service implementation - call createServiceInfo_Foo from within component_* functions, for every implementation in the library This is slightly more uncomfortable than a global variable, but should prevent all its drawbacks.
