unit-testing - Rust 书籍单元测试示例导致死代码警告 - 为什么？

Question

在学习 Rust 和尝试 Rust 书中的示例单元测试相关代码时:https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch11-01-writing-tests.html

我收到一条关于死代码的警告，该代码显然正在由单元测试执行。这是为什么？

lib.rs 中的代码

struct Rectangle {
    width: u32,
    height: u32,
}

impl Rectangle {
    fn can_hold(&self, other: &Rectangle) -> bool {
        self.width > other.width && self.height > other.height
    }
}

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use super::*;
    
    #[test]
    fn larger_can_hold_smaller() {
        let larger = Rectangle {
            width: 8,
            height: 7,
        };
        let smaller = Rectangle {
            width: 5,
            height: 1,
        };

        assert!(larger.can_hold(&smaller));
    }
}

运行 cargo test 时的结果

改变这个

struct Rectangle {
    width: u32,
    height: u32,
}

impl Rectangle {
    fn can_hold(&self, other: &Rectangle) -> bool {
        self.width > other.width && self.height > other.height
    }
}

这样可以使死代码警告消失。

pub struct Rectangle {
    width: u32,
    height: u32,
}

impl Rectangle {
    pub fn can_hold(&self, other: &Rectangle) -> bool {
        self.width > other.width && self.height > other.height
    }
}

测试的结构和方法都需要公开。
