Bug #: 55159 Summary: pythy constexpr auto lambda pointer has no initializer Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: supercilious.d...@gmail.com Pythy (http://pfultz2.github.com/Pythy/) does something akin to: template <typename T> typename std::remove_reference<T>::type *addr(T &&t) { return &t; } template <class T0, class T1> struct min_t { constexpr static auto *f = false ? addr([](T0 x, T1 y){ return x < y ? x : y; }) : nullptr; }; Which gcc (4.7.2 and 4.8.0 git master) cannot evaluate. clang and visual studio 2012 work fine. I know this is not strictly needed by gcc 4.8 since it has deduced auto without the late specifier (which the other compilers lack), but its highly convenient to have pythy work on all c++11 compilers.
