For example:
class Example
{
public:
explicit Example(int n) : num(n) {}
void addAndPrint(vector<int>& v) const
{
for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), [num](int n) { cout << num + n << " "; });
}
private:
int num;
};
int main()
{
vector<int> v = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 };
Example ex(1);
ex.addAndPrint(v);
return 0;
}
When you compile and run this in MSVC2010 you get the following error:
error C3480: 'Example::num': a lambda capture variable must be from an enclosing function scope
However, with g++ 4.6.2 (prerelease) you get:
1 2 3 4 5
Which compiler is right according to the standard draft?
5.1.2/9:
The reaching scope of a local lambda expression is the set of
enclosing scopes up to and including the innermost enclosing function
and its parameters.
and 5.1.2/10:
The identifiers in a capture-list are looked up using the usual rules
for unqualified name lookup (3.4.1); each such lookup shall find a
variable with automatic storage duration declared in the reaching
scope of the local lambda expression.
As num
is neither declared in any function scope nor has automatic storage duration, it cannot be captured. Thus VS is right and g++ is wrong.
Standard says the following (5.1.2):
The identifiers in a capture-list are looked up using the usual rules for unqualified name lookup (3.4.1); each
such lookup shall find a variable with automatic storage duration declared in the reaching scope of the local
lambda expression.
To my understanding GCC compiler is right because 'num' is in the reaching scope at the point of lambda declaration.
