When writing unit tests sometimes it is necessary to artificially elevate a member to `internal` in order to make it visible to unit tests where it could otherwise be `private` or `fileprivate`. We could introduce an `@testable` attribute that could be applied anywhere an access modifier is used. This attribute would elevate the access modifier to `internal` when the module is imported using the `@testable import MyModule` syntax in a test suite.
Is this something that others have interest in? Is it something that might be considered for Swift 4 now that phase 2 has begun? Matthew _______________________________________________ swift-evolution mailing list [email protected] https://lists.swift.org/mailman/listinfo/swift-evolution
