Assume that the main function only calls SomePackage.somefunction(ARGS[1]), is it then feasible to using only the compiled artifact(s) to somehow call SomePackage.anotherfunction?
For example, if I have been given an executable .jar file, I think it is easy to call other methods than the main method if I just import it to a java project, and I can unzip the .jar to see its contents. Is it similar for PackageCompiler.jl or is the sysimage more opaque?
Sebastian Pfitzner (Jul 15 2022 at 11:51):You should always be able to load the generated sysimg into a normal Julia process (with -J) and can then do whatever you want, no?
DrChainsaw (Jul 15 2022 at 11:57):Sorry, I have never used PackageCompiler.jl before so I'm completely new to it.
So even a compiled "app" can be loaded as a normal image and then you have access to all the included packages?

Sebastian Pfitzner (Jul 15 2022 at 12:09):it's there for me in the browser:
