print the closure definition/source in Groovy

Question

Anyone who knows how the print the source of a closure in Groovy?

For example, I have this closure (binded to a)

def a = { it.twice() }          


        

Answer 1

That isn't possible in groovy. Even when a groovy script is run directly, without compiling it first, the script is converted into JVM bytecode. Closures aren't treated any differently, they are compiled like regular methods. By the time the code is run, the source code isn't available any more.
