Is Compat.jl worth it for the `public` keyword?

Palli · September 5, 2024, 1:02pm

Why that macro, and where to put it? Or why not the subtly different public macro (I’m not sure which is better, and it also has a bit more code) in the (“unpopular”) unregistered package:

github.com

JuliaLang/Public.jl/blob/a0e40de2b67a255dee7ffdf392e7b794eb49d44f/src/Public.jl#L9-L19


      
          # https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/50105
          @static if Base.VERSION >= v"1.11.0-DEV.469"
              macro public(symbols_expr::Union{Symbol, Expr})
                  symbols = _get_symbols(symbols_expr)
                  return esc(Expr(:public, symbols...))
              end
          else
              macro public(symbols_expr::Union{Symbol, Expr})
                  return nothing
              end
          end
