Whats the purpose of regcomp?
The unoidl converts the IDL description into a binary type library format; this type information is needed for every IDL type at runtime. The generated output file of unoidl contains only the type information of the specified IDL file. It does not contain the complete type descriptions of all types. So, it is necessary to install the new types in the type library applicat.rdb using regmerge. If somebody has developed a UNO component, he must support/export some administration functions (e.g., component_writeInfo). In the component_writeInfo function the developer gives some information about the supported services and the implementation name. This information is later used by the service manager to instantiate the component. So, if you developed your own component, you must install your component to the runtime. This could be done with regcomp. regcomp reads the component_writeInfo function and does some administration work with that information. For example, all supported services of
