# Error code E0447

#### Note: this error code is no longer emitted by the compiler.

The `pub` keyword was used inside a function.

Erroneous code example:

    #![allow(unused)]
    fn main() {
    fn foo() {
        pub struct Bar; // error: visibility has no effect inside functions
    }
    }

Since we cannot access items defined inside a function, the visibility of its items does not impact outer code. So using the `pub` keyword in this context is invalid.
