What rustc prints
error[E0365]: `foo` is only public within the crate, and cannot be re-exported outside --> main.rs:5:9 | 5 | pub use foo as foo2; | ^^^^^^^^^^^ re-export of crate public `foo` | = note: consider declaring type or module `foo` with `pub`

The compiler team's explanation
Private modules cannot be publicly re-exported. This error indicates that you attempted to pub use a module that was not itself public.
Erroneous code example:
mod foo {
pub const X: u32 = 1;
}
pub use foo as foo2;
fn main() {}The solution to this problem is to ensure that the module that you are re-exporting is itself marked with pub:
pub mod foo {
pub const X: u32 = 1;
}
pub use foo as foo2;
fn main() {}See the Use Declarations section of the reference for more information on this topic.
