I think that has always been the case?

I think that has always been the case?

But when stdlib was in the base/ directory the path was printed relative that, so it never leaked out.

[KristofferC]

Ah, good point.

[fredrikekre]

Perhaps those paths should be printed relative the julia root directory instead? IMO

julia> @which println("Hello")
println(xs...) in Base at base/coreio.jl:4

is better than the current

julia> @which println("Hello")
println(xs...) in Base at coreio.jl:4

and files in stdlib files would then print like stdlib/LinearAlgebra/...

[tkoolen]

Note by the way that this also applies to @edit, which makes it harder to see how things are implemented in stdlib packages on nightly.

[hessammehr]

Getting the same behaviour now on 0.7.0. :(

Seconding @tkoolen's point: it's a shame because you lose the easy path to debugging/contributing to Julia using @edit .

Just ran into this issue on stable Julia 1.0. Note that the links generated when executing @which in a jupyter notebook won't work because of this. Hope this will be fixed soon!

@crstnbr: note that compiling from source is a very simple workaround in the meantime.

[carstenbauer]

Because of this Rebugger can't jump into stdlib code.

It's not very simple on Windows but thanks for the comment.

dup of #26314. Workaround is to build one's own system image. (Easier now that PkgCompiler works.)

[cossio]

@editstill does not work for stdlib functions because of this, Julia v1.0.1.

[vtjnash]

as mentioned above, this is a duplicate
