Issue 106421

Interesting 

Perhaps moving msfilterlib to module "filter" also is an option; it would keep
the oox module clean of "binary" stuff.

@ericb: if you find that interesting you might be interested in my split of
svtools in two libraries and the changes I could do after that. Amongst others
this is tracked in issue 103496.

cui split done. List of changes:

M inc/fmhelp.hrc	some HIDs removed for cui

R source/cui	                now in cui/
	

Many resources have been moved (saves ~250 KB memory in startup) that prior to
that still have been in source/dialogs and source/options, also a lot of hrc files.

The only code I could move easily was radiobtnbox.cxx; more investigations in
source/dialogs might reveal more possible saves.

This was an interesting experience, the old build was quite hacky and just
worked because the cui library used svx-internal headers. Moving cui out
revealed that. So the gallery stuff needed to be changed a little bit to avoid
exporting nearly everything (the headers were not well separated) and to avoid
to access its resource IDs directly.

Another interesting effect: the developers who createrd the cuilib in the first
place "forgot" to #undef the SVX_DLLIMPLEMENTATION when the dialog factory was
compiled, so the type info of the base class (the SvxAbstractDialogFactory
interface) was compiled into the svx lib by accident. Without that define set
now the symbol "typeinfo of SvxDialogFactory" was missing. That could be fixed
by explicitly adding a dtor to this interface (that otherwise would be created
anyway, but not exported).

I moved all code in msdffdef.hxx into msdffimp.hxx, only some #defines stayed
there as svx/source/customshapes uses them.

I moved the svxmsbas completely into msfilter and dropped msfilter-core.
In sd and sw I had to add some wrapper functions and external C functions in
their filter libs (the same way as the import and export functions have been
implemented).

I didn't move the rtf code into the filter library as it was only one source
(the graphics part) file anyway and this code will be replaced by some new code
in writerfilter sooner or later, so the rtf code now is part of svx-core
completely, not only 2 of 3 files.

@mba

Sorry for the delay. Yes, I'm highly interested, and your work is impressive ( I
have added me o CC of issue #103496 too). Glad to see actions in this direction ! 

My problem is, I just won't be able to contribute on that before thursday (so in
3 days), but you can count on me if you need to test, or even experiment, say
contribute. FYI, we present the build system as ClassRooms, and I'd see well you
conclude the cycle - its currently question of 2 or 3 ClassRooms about the build
system-  explaining what you are doing (our logs are read a lot, and very visible).

forgot one changed file for msfilter move:

M filer/prj/build.lst               new msfilter folder

Here's the list of all changes for the resource library split. Main principle
was to make as few defines publicly available as possible and make sure that all
code accessing resources moved into the cui resource that are still public works
correctly. 
I moved all defines in svx/dialogs.hrc that where used only in cui into
cui/source/inc/cuires.hrc.
I commented all defines that are used in svx (or other modules) and cui accordingly.

Here the changes to get rid of some unneccessary defines:

the new library in scp2:

M scp2/source/ooo/file_library_ooo.scp
M scp2/source/ooo/file_resource_ooo.scp
M scp2/source/ooo/module_lang_template.scp

moving resources and defines to cui:

Added dependency on "filter" for all application modules.

Obviously done.
