My compiler plugin has a companion runtime library. Some functions there have complex logic used by the plugin just because it would be hard to write it in IR. Is there a way to hide these functions from the end user though? For example, I scoped them inside an object to reduce their discoverability, but I’m thinking there must be some better solution.

You can mark the

object

as

@PublishedApi

+

internal

. Also slap on a

@JvmSynthetic

so Java callers won't see it. That's probably good enough to thwart all but the most determined callers.

Nice, that will work. Thanks Jake
