RubyVM::InstructionSequence#to_binary

() -> ::String

iseq.to_binary(extra_data = nil) → binary str

static VALUE
iseqw_to_binary(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self)
{
    VALUE opt = !rb_check_arity(argc, 0, 1) ? Qnil : argv[0];
    return rb_iseq_ibf_dump(iseqw_check(self), opt);
}

Returns serialized iseq binary format data as a String object. A corresponding iseq object is created by RubyVM::InstructionSequence.load_from_binary() method.

String extra_data will be saved with binary data. You can access this data with RubyVM::InstructionSequence.load_from_binary_extra_data(binary).

Note that the translated binary data is not portable. You can not move this binary data to another machine. You can not use the binary data which is created by another version/another architecture of Ruby.
