What does @ mean in front of function?

#include < amxmodx >

public plugin_init( )
{
    register_plugin( "Compile me", "1.0", "Author" );
}

@__CompileThisPlugin( )
{
}

#include < amxmodx >

public plugin_init( )
{
    register_plugin( "Compile me", "1.0", "Author" );
}

__CompileThisPlugin( )
{
}

I guess that @ = public but i'm not sure, that's why i'm asking.

It means nothing.

@ is a shorthand for public. It's supposed to be used on events for readability reasons.

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>

public plugin_init()
{
    set_task(1.0, "@say")
}

@say()
{
    server_print("AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA")
} 


Output: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Compile those two plugins i posted and you'll see that compiler thinks different.

Thanks, i was pretty sure that @ stands for public, but i never saw someone using it.

It doesn't really matter, it's more of a readability option. Like I said, this should be explicitly used for event-related functions, such as forwards. You cannot use it for defined forwards though as @ becomes a part of the function name.
