[Cuis-dev] Finding Instance specific behavior in the inspector

[Phil B]

Hi John,

I think what you're looking for is #decompile.  For example, if in a
workspace you printit on:

[true ifTrue: [Transcript show: 'testing']]

you will see:

[closure] in UndefinedObject>>DoIt

However, if you printit on:

[true ifTrue: [Transcript show: 'testing']] decompile

you will get source code for the block:

 {[
true ifTrue: [ Transcript show: 'testing' ]. ]}

One thing to keep in mind is that it is decompiling from bytecode so you
will lose things like comments and variable names but it will otherwise be
identical to the original source code.

Thanks,
Phil
