Kotlin files with non-callabale Java name and only non-public members show up in the public dump

[martinbonnin]

Kind of an edge case but something like this:

// -foo.kt

internal fun doStuff() {}

will show up in apiDump:

public final class -fooKt { }

I think since the code is not reachable from neither Java nor Kotlin, this is technically not public API?

That's a nice catch!

It's not a public API, but it is, technically, a public ABI similar to how inline functions are -- it can be inspected/called via reflection without isAccessible = true. Anyway, that's unlikely to have any uses and it's safe to remove such signatures from public ABI

[qwwdfsad]

Thinking about it a bit more, it's definitely not part of ABI, because reflection is not part of it. And inline functions are because they can be invoked directly from Java (without inlining tho)

[gabrielittner]

Not sure if this can be considered part of the same issue or would be separate, the same also happens if you have a file that only contains members that are marked with nonPublicMarkers

Looks like this is fixed now? We have a bunch of false positives like this being removed when upgrading to 0.15.0-beta.2 (example here)
