I am writing compiler plugin which adds ability to get code as string value at runtime, e.g. codeOf(2 + 2) should return 2 + 2. I’m trying to use implementation of IrElementTransformerVoidWithContext and dumpKotlinLike function to get desired code but dumpKotlinLike returns:
1. for 2 + 2 : 2.plus(other = 2)
2. for { 2 } :

local fun <anonymous>(): Int {
  return 2
}

I think that I shouldn’t use IR to get exact code but I don’t know what I can use instead of it. Are there any options?

You can get sourceFile path and line and just parse what you need from the string. Should be a lot simpler than trying to deal with ir

Then just do ir replacement
