...instead of by listing the content somewhat redundantly in the Rdb_*.mk files, to avoid duplication of logic for components that are only built conditionally (and thus should only be included conditionally in the corresponding Rdb). To achieve that, add an "rdb" parameter to gb_ComponentTarget_ComponentTarget (and to the gb_*_set_componentfile macros that internally call gb_ComponentTarget_ComponentTarget), which is used to make the appropriate gb_Rdb_add_component call internally from within gb_ComponentTarget_ComponentTarget. (As a special case, gb_CppunitTest_set_componentfile shall not call gb_Rdb_add_component, as that has already been done by the corresponding gb_Library_set_componentfile call, so allow the gb_ComponentTarget_ComponentTarget "rdb" parameter to be empty to support that special case.) Most Rdb_*.mk files are thus mostly empty now. One exception is i18npool/Rdb_saxparser.mk, which duplicates some of the Rdb_services content as needed during the build in CustomTarget_i18npool/localedata.1c9a40299d"gbuild: create services.rdb from built components" had already tried to do something similar (in addition to other things) under a new --enable-services-rdb-from-build option. However, that approach had four drawbacks that this approach here addresses (and which thus partly reverts1c9a40299d): 1 Rdb_services shall not contain the component files of all libraries that are built. While that commit filtered out the component files that go into Rdb_ure/services (ure/Rdb_ure.mk), it failed to filter out the component files that go into others like Rdb_postgresql-sdbc (connectivity/Rdb_postgresql-sdbc.mk). 2 The code added by that commit to Makefile.gbuild codified the knowledge that there is an Rdb_services, which is brittle. 3 The code added by that commit to solenv/gbuild/Rdb.mk codified the knowledge (for gb_Rdb__URECOMPONENTS) that there is an Rdb_ure/services, which is brittle. 4 Introducing an --enable-services-rdb-from-build option needlessly provided two different ways how the content of Rdb_services is assembled. The changes done here would leave --enable-services-rdb-from-build as a misnomer, as it no longer controls how Rdb_services is assembled. I thus renamed it to --enable-customtarget-components, as that is apparently what it still does now.

How to Check Compatibility Between Compilers
Since the interfaces used in the cpp bridgetest are not changed often
one can just build the cppobj.uno.dll and the constructors.uno.dll
(testtools/source/bridgetest) in an
old environment and then use them in the new environment. That is the files
are copied into the testtools/wntmsciXX.pro folder which corresponds to the
new environment.
On Windows this test will typically fail because the tests use the
cppu::getCaughtException function, which only works when all libs are build
using the same runtime.
This part of the test can switched off. To do this go into the
testtools/source/bridgetest folder and call
dmake compcheck=1
This will add a new compiler define (-DCOMPCHECK) and will be used in the
bridgetest.cxx to switch off the code which uses the getCaughtException function.
However, there is still a test which causes the test component to throw
and IllegalArgumentException. This still works.
Using source / bridgetest for Stress Testing
Start a modified bridgetest_server (with the final --singleaccept argument
removed from the uno executable call) or a modified bridgetest_javaserver (with
the final singleaccept argument replaced with multi in the java executable
call), then start a modified bridgetest_client (with a final stress argument
added to the uno executable call). The client will continuously establish
connections to the server which are immediately destroyed again. The test will
run forever, unless an error occurs.
