__precompile__() is not resulting in precompiled code [2]

New to Julia

Hi there,
Just trying to precompile my first module, and I don’t seem to get any precompilation.
I have something like

#mod1.jl
__precompile__()
module Mod1
  x = 1
  f(y::Int) = x + y
  precompile(f,(Int,))
end

Then I have something like,

include("mod1.jl")
using Mod1
Mod1.f(10)

Now, should I have a .ji file generated from this example in Base.LOAD_CACHE_PATH[1]? There is no message stating that anything is being precompiled, and certainly no file indicating there is anything cached.

Running Julia 0.6 on Windows. Thank you.

Pedro

No, include does not generate precompile files and just directly executes whatever file it is given.

Thanks, after reading the documentation, I am still not sure how to generate the precompiled files, would you please elaborate on your answer just a little more?

AFAIK putting your module in the load path (ideally as a package) and then simply using it would make it precompile.
