Rust error E0364: `foo` is private, and cannot be re-exported
What it meansPrivate items cannot be publicly re-exported. This error indicates that you attempted to pub use a type or value that was not itself public.
What rustc prints
error[E0364]: `foo` is private, and cannot be re-exported --> main.rs:5:17 | 5 | pub use super::foo; // error! | ^^^^^^^^^^ | note: consider marking `foo` as `pub` in the imported module --> main.rs:5:17 | 5 | pub use super::foo; // error! | ^^^^^^^^^^

The compiler team's explanation
Private items cannot be publicly re-exported. This error indicates that you attempted to pub use a type or value that was not itself public.
Erroneous code example:
mod a {
fn foo() {}
mod a {
pub use super::foo; // error!
}
}The solution to this problem is to ensure that the items that you are re-exporting are themselves marked with pub:
mod a {
pub fn foo() {} // ok!
mod a {
pub use super::foo;
}
}See the Use Declarations section of the reference for more information on this topic.
