I created a simple function as below:

```julia
#MyFunction.jl

__precompile__ ()
function MyFunction(x)
    y = x * 5
    y * 5
end

```

And found the pre-compiled files saved as:

`/Users/hasan/.julia/compiled/v1.0/MyFunction.jl`

Can I use/distribute this pre-compiled file with my main function without using the original file source code itself?
