I’m running a bunch of simulations, whose inputs and outputs I would like to save, where the user inputs are both numbers and functions. Currently, I save all of my inputs and outputs using JLD2. In a toy example of solving a heat equation, I set up some initial parameters, allow the user to define …

This seems to me like a good usecase for a book-keeping macro. IIUC, you basically want to store the function body symbolically, right? So you could write a macro that does something like this: # struct for storage of information struct UserFunction{F} func::F source end (uf::UserFunction)…

I appreciate the insights! Unfortunately, I’m still a Julia amateur, so I can’t figure out how to build that macro myself (or the automated saving to JLD2). If you have any other thoughts or resources that might point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks!

@rafael.guerra ’s suggestion using CodeTracking.jl is likely much easier. You could simply do: julia> using CodeTracking julia> temp_source(t) = cos(t); julia> code_string(temp_source, (Float64,)) "temp_source(t) = cos(t)" julia> f = temp_source # also works when you have the function object in so…

Thanks, both. I was having issues with CodeTracking initially (code_string and code_expr returning nothing), but it seems that issue was only appearing in IJulia. Unsure why that is, as other interactive util commands work fine. I was hoping to build the main interface through a notebook so the outp…

Just in case, check also this post out using CodeTracking.
