PrecompileTools: precompilation causing allocations in Julia 1.6.7

[Salmon]

Probably related to this:

Removing precompilation leads to lower allocations!?

In one of my packages I tried to lower import times, so I added a couple of typical usage examples in a “precompile” function. Something like function _my_precompile() # my "typical use case" code ... end function _precompile_() ccall(:jl_generating_output, Cint, ()) == 1 || return nothing _my_precompile() # precompile directives from SnoopCompile ... end _precompile_() However, in the presence of the _my_precompile, benchmarks of my code show thousands of allocations i…

I don’t know what the issue is but I think it got figured out and fixed for later Julia versions.
(Of course it wasn’t precompile tools back then but maybe simply related to running code at precompile time)
