@Keno Keno commented Feb 11, 2025

Inspired by the question in #57311 (comment), I want to revisit the basic setup where every module usings both Core and Base. In general, I think we mostly expect users to inferface with Base, not Core, so this PR changes things to only have new modules using Base (while re-exporting all Core names from Base). There should be little user-visible impact from these changes. The only situation I can think of where it makes a difference is if somebody were to make their own Base/toplevel module that does not re-export Core. However, we don't really support that situation in the first place, and I actually think it's a feature that such toplevel modules can more closely control the set of implicitly exposed names.

Looks excellent! Thanks

Does this mean you now need import Base: Core to refer to Core in user modules?

No, I added Core to Base's export set along with the other Core exports

Hmm, looks like this impacted type-alias printing somehow.

doctest is complaining that printing

ref::MemoryRef{T}

turned into

ref::GenericMemoryRef{:not_atomic, T, Core.AddrSpace{Core}(0x00)}

// If we have `Base`, don't also try to import `Core` - the `Base` exports are a superset and we
// avoid ambiguities as to which module the bindings should come from.

Suggested change
// If we have `Base`, don't also try to import `Core` - the `Base` exports are a superset and we
// avoid ambiguities as to which module the bindings should come from.
// If we have `Base`, don't also try to import `Core` - the `Base` exports are a superset

This statement does not seem consistent with the definition of exports, since something cannot be ambiguous if it has the same value.

The binding isn't ambiguous, but it's ambiguous where the binding came from, which we print in various places and people complain.

Ah, might help to update the wording then to be clear that the ambiguity is just the printing of the module name, not the value?

I want to revisit the basic setup where every module `using`s both
`Core` and `Base`. In general, I think we mostly expect users to

names from `Base`). There should be little user-visible impact
