Hi there,
Just trying to precompile my first module, and I don’t seem to get any precompilation.
I have something like
```julia
#mod1.jl
__precompile__ ()
module Mod1
x = 1
f(y::Int) = x + y
precompile(f,(Int,))
end
```
Then I have something like,
```julia
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.
