How to get condition string from rule via C API? #1998

Say I'm processing matches in this callback:

int callback(YR_SCAN_CONTEXT* context, int message, void* message_data, void* user_data);

I get a YR_RULE* by casting message_data, and I've looked for a "condition" member in the the underlying YR_RULE struct, but I can't find anything here.

As I am reporting matches, it would be quite valuable context to also report the textual condition.

You can't, compiled rules don't retain the original source code, so the condition's text is lost after compilation.
