Given the following code snippet, case 1, 2, 3, and 4 compile in Visual Studio 2017 (/std:c++14), but case 5 doesn't. What's going on?
int i;
auto case1 = [](auto) -> decltype(i, void()) {};
int main() {
int j;
auto case2 = [](int) -> decltype(j, void()) {};
auto case3 = [j](auto) -> decltype(j, void()) {};
auto case4 = [](auto) -> decltype(i, void()) {};
auto case5 = [](auto) -> decltype(j, void()) {};
case1(int()); // OK
case2(int()); // OK
case3(int()); // OK
case4(int()); // OK
case5(int()); // Error: message below
return 0;
}
Here's the compiler's output.
main.cpp(15): error C2672: 'operator __surrogate_func': no matching overloaded function found
main.cpp(15): error C2893: Failed to specialize function template 'void main::<lambda_1>::operator ()(_T1) const'
main.cpp(15): note: With the following template arguments: '_T1=int'
This is a bug in MSVC. I opened a bug: Error instantiating lambda template Fixes are prioritized by upvotes. Feel free to upvote the issue.
