So the consensus is to keep all private members/imports/etc?
Ideally to get most out of the auto generation of di files (by
definition of module system) we need to strip ALL private stuff.
Only this way we can say the automation is on par with
handcrafting.
But if it does not look doable somehow, we can always handcraft
them (which i'll generally prefer),
Private members can still be used from public templates and
whatnot. You can't take them out unless you can statically proved
all references within the same .di to that private member was
removed in the stripping process.
foo.d
------
private i = 42;
// Is a public template, has to be left in
void bar()()
{
/* Uses 'i' */
}
void baz()
{
/* Also uses 'i' */
}
------
foo.di
------
void bar()()
{
/* Still uses 'i', where did it go!? */
}
void baz(); // Fine, no longer need 'i'
------
Also, on a side note, function parameters can use types from
private imports too. Be it function, data or import, it has to be
left in even if private.
