Can you inspect the byte code of a Java 8 lambda at runtime?

Question

If you have an anonymous class like

Predicate isEmpty = new Predicate() {
    public boolean test(String t) {
        return t.isEmpt         


        

Answer 1

If you just want to SEE the bytecode:

javap -c -p -v classfile
      ^disassemble
         ^private methods
            ^verbose, including constant pool and bootstrap methods attribute

But if you want to try to do this at runtime, you're pretty much out of luck (by design, we don't have anything like Expression Trees), as the other answer suggests.
