What I was hoping for was to get the implementation of the method back as
an expression, something like:
julia> expr = :(foo(n::Integer) = 2*n)
:(foo(n::Integer) = begin # REPL[2], line 1:
2n
end)
julia> eval(expr)
foo (generic function with 1 method)
julia> method = first(methods(foo))
foo(n::Integer) at REPL[2]:1
julia> Expr(method) == expr # Not reality
true
More than likely it isn't possible. I just figured it was worth asking. A
far more likely scenario would be to get a LambdaInfo as an Expr:
julia> foo(n::Integer) = 2*n
foo (generic function with 1 method)
julia> method = first(methods(foo))
foo(n::Integer) at REPL[1]:1
julia> method.lambda_template
LambdaInfo for foo
:(begin # REPL[1], line 1:
return 2 * n
end)
