RDC00105 — Implicit Public member

Severity: Information · Family: RDC (Rubberduck Core analyzers) · Raised by: ImplicitPublicMemberAnalyzer

A procedure, a property, an event, an Enum, a Type or a Declare states no access modifier.

Such a member is Public (MS-VBAL §5.3.1.1 Procedure Scope): it is part of the interface of the module, and nothing in the declaration says so. The diagnostic is an opinion of the analyzer and not a condition of the language: both are legal VBA.

A variable of the module level is not among them: a declaration with Dim there is Private (see RDC00202).

That a member states no access modifier is a fact of the way it is written: the analyzer reads it off the syntax tree, and reports the name of the member. It is a suggestion because writing the keyword does not change what the member is.

How it is raised
