Is there any command can turn a Proc into a string of codes?

[Hideo]

Hello everyone,

I have problem in saving a class by Marshal.dump when the class contains Proc inside. So I want to find a way to turn the Proc into a string if that's possible. Otherwise I may need to remove all the proc objects and turn them into strings perhaps.

So my question is that:

We have a command called eval which can turn a string into program code and run, so in the opposite, will there be any command which can turn a block or proc object into a string of codes?

Thanks all.

Nope there is no way that I know of, and I checked to make sure there is not a way to convert a Proc object into a string representing the block of code that will be excuted when the proc is called

It can be done, but it's complicated.
