I'm concerned that we already have way too many, far too verbose XML files, with over-lengthy attributes (some with un-necessary and over-complicated namespacing to boot ;-). Parsing that lot takes a very considerable chunk of startup time, and storing redundant foo in memory seems a bit un-necessary :-) What does this: <implementation name="com.sun.star.comp.graphic.GraphicRendererVCL" + constructor="com_sun_star_comp_graphic_GraphicRendererVCL_get_implementation"> <service name="com.sun.star.graphic.GraphicRendererVCL"/> </implementation> win us over: <implementation name="com.sun.star.comp.graphic.GraphicRendererVCL" direct="1"> <service name="com.sun.star.graphic.GraphicRendererVCL"/> </implementation> ? :-) Certainly the latter can be stored as an extra boolean. Given that we can trivially produce the symbol name from the implementation name at run-time ? [ if we even need to produce it at all - since we can link that at compile time ? :-]. I guess - if this would only ever be used for bits of code that are going to be in the main mergelibs domain & thus could be directly linked and evaporated away at compile time: and assuming that we subsequently avoid those being registered in services.rdb I guess it's no issue: beyond lots more typing, and scope for typos/errors :-) I suspect though that mergelibs will not encompass all components though, and that thus we'll end up with lists of this duplication around the place still (?).
