The AST format is not documented (and not officially stable, though not
drastically unstable either), but there are some reflection functions that
may help (expand, code_lowered, code_typed). For example:
julia> expand(quote function foo() x = 1 end end)
:(begin # none, line 1:
return $(Expr(:method, :foo,
:((top(svec))((top(apply_type))(Tuple)::Any,(top(svec))()::Any)::Any),
AST(:($(Expr(:lambda, Any[], Any[Any[:x],Any[Any[:x,:Any,18]],Any[],0],
:(begin # none, line 1:
x = 1
return 1
end::Any))))), false))
end)
There is a reflection/introspection section in the manual with some more
tips, or look at `base/reflection.jl` for the actual code (and some tricks
that aren't in the manual).
