Visibility

Modules are a privacy boundary:

  • Module items are private by default (hides implementation details).
  • Parent and sibling items are always visible.
mod outer {
    fn private() {
        println!("outer::private");
    }

    pub fn public() {
        println!("outer::public");
    }

    mod inner {
        fn private() {
            println!("outer::inner::private");
        }

        pub fn public() {
            println!("outer::inner::public");
            super::private();
        }
    }
}

fn main() {
    outer::public();
}
