Hi good folks!
I am trying to create a sysimage to distribute a package I have created. I also don’t want the source code of the package to be available. As a first step I am trying to create such a sysimage for the CSV package, just to try things out before I try it with my own package.
To remove the source code I am passing the `--strip-ir` command when creating the sysimage:
`create_sysimage(["CSV"]; sysimage_path="CSVSysimageir.so", sysimage_build_args=Cmd(["--strip-ir"]))`
However, when I try to use the sysimage with `julia -JCSVSysimageir.so --startup-file=no`, then as soon as I move the cursor a bit in the REPL I get the following error
> source not available for (::REPL.LineEdit.var"#27#28"{REPL.LineEdit.var"#156#212", String})(Any, Any) from (::REPL.LineEdit.var"#27#28"{f, c})(Any, Any)

How do I avoid this? I don’t need to strip IR from everything by the way. It would be enough for just CSV in this case.
Thanks in advance!

OK so I solved that problem by adding the flag `--combile=all`. However. If I compile the sysimage with `--strip-ir --strip-metadata --compile=all` and then open it, I still am able to view the source code with for example @less CSV.read(“test”). How do I get rid of that?
