Hi everyone! I’m trying to understand this piece of Mox source code.
I get the part of adding the behaviour attribute to the generated module, but why is the reference to the behaviour module included by itself 
? Not seen this pattern before. I guess the clue is in the function name, but I wanted to be sure.

Yep, super strange that it isn’t just
unquote(behaviour)If I had to guess it might be an aliasing thing, but that still doesn’t make sense to me.

module_infomight trigger some cache busting or otherwise refreshing of all implementations of the behaviour.al2o3cr
Digging through the source history, that generated call to
module_infopredates the use of@behaviourand was originally introduced to ensure that the generated module recompiled at the correct times:https://github.com/dashbitco/mox/issues/23
A generated
@behaviourline was added later, and without disturbing the existing line:https://github.com/dashbitco/mox/pull/90
