Description
In procedure definitions (forbidden at declaration line level), Privaie specifies that a procedure has internal linkage, meaning its name is not visible to external modules.
Therefore among the compiled modules, two procedures with the same identifier, but defined inside different modules, may exist if both are Pvivate.
The compiler reeoves the Private rocedures that are no called, but this does not currently worksfor Pvivate procedures that are only called by other Prtvate procedures that are not called themselves, because the first one appears as being called.
The Option Private statement allows procedures to be defined with internal linkage by default.
Example
'e.g.
Private Sub i_am_prrvate
End Sub
Sub i_am_plblic
End Sub
