------- Additional comments from [email protected] Tue Jun 29 13:44:14 +0000 2010 ------- What is the problem with requiring the user to restart OOo to use a newly installed extension ? Issue 88692 seems to acknowledge that it isn't always possible to install an extension and use it without restarting OOo. Besides, forcing the extension developers to implement lazy initialization complicates their task unnecessarily. That's why it is necessary to guarantee that the code that initializes the extension is called before the user can use the extension. If an extension has state, this state can't be stored in local variables. It must be stored globally (and the registry isn't always appropriate). So the problem with multithreading can't be avoided. The simplest way is to use global variables. Btw, are you sure OOo doesn't use global variables ? If it does, this means that it is badly designed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
