Hello, Recently I made some tests with lambda (mingw build) I found some problems. Here they are:
1. Lambda and template type deduction. Try this sample: #include <iostream> #include <algorithm> #include <vector> #include <functional> typedef std::function<double(double)> FnType; template<typename T> FnType average_damp(T fn) { return [fn](double x) {return (x + fn(x)) / 2;}; } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { auto fn = average_damp([](double x){return x * 2;}); std::cout << fn(10.0) << std::endl; return 0; } This sample successfully built with VS 2010, but under gcc there are some compilation errors: P:\projects\Tests\Sandbox\C++0x\gcc43>g++ -std=c++0x -Os -IP:\Projects\common\boost_1.36.0 lambda.cpp In file included from s:/programming/mingw/lib/gcc/../../include/c++/4.5.0/functional:70:0, from lambda.cpp:4: s:/programming/mingw/lib/gcc/../../include/c++/4.5.0/tr1_impl/functional: In static member function 'static void std::_F unction_base::_Base_manager<_Functor>::_M_clone(std::_Any_data&, const std::_Any_data&, std::false_type) [with _Functor = average_damp(T) [with T = main(int, char**)::<lambda>(double), FnType = std::function<double(double)>]::<lambda>(doubl e), std::false_type = std::integral_constant<bool, false>]': s:/programming/mingw/lib/gcc/../../include/c++/4.5.0/tr1_impl/functional:1543:8: instantiated from 'static bool std::_ Function_base::_Base_manager<_Functor>::_M_manager(std::_Any_data&, const std::_Any_data&, std::_Manager_operation) [wit h _Functor = average_damp(T) [with T = main(int, char**)::<lambda>(double), FnType = std::function<double(double)>]::<la mbda>(double)]' s:/programming/mingw/lib/gcc/../../include/c++/4.5.0/tr1_impl/functional:2013:6: instantiated from 'std::function<_Res (_ArgTypes ...)>::function(_Functor, typename __gnu_cxx::__enable_if<(! std::is_integral::value), std::function<_Res(_Ar gTypes ...)>::_Useless>::__type) [with _Functor = average_damp(T) [with T = main(int, char**)::<lambda>(double), FnType = std::function<double(double)>]::<lambda>(double), _Res = double, _ArgTypes = double, typename __gnu_cxx::__enable_if<( ! std::is_integral::value), std::function<_Res(_ArgTypes ...)>::_Useless>::__type = std::function<double(double)>::_Usel ess]' lambda.cpp:11:51: instantiated from 'FnType average_damp(T) [with T = main(int, char**)::<lambda>(double), FnType = st d::function<double(double)>]' lambda.cpp:16:55: instantiated from here s:/programming/mingw/lib/gcc/../../include/c++/4.5.0/tr1_impl/functional:1507:4: error: no matching function for call to 'average_damp(T) [with T = main(int, char**)::<lambda>(double), FnType = std::function<double(double)>]::<lambda>(doubl e)::__lambda0(average_damp(T) [with T = main(int, char**)::<lambda>(double), FnType = std::function<double(double)>]::<l ambda>(double)&)' lambda.cpp:11:25: note: candidates are: average_damp(T) [with T = main(int, char**)::<lambda>(double), FnType = std::fun ction<double(double)>]::<lambda>(double) s:/programming/mingw/lib/gcc/../../include/c++/4.5.0/tr1_impl/functional: In static member function 'static void std::_F unction_base::_Base_manager<_Functor>::_M_init_functor(std::_Any_data&, const _Functor&, std::false_type) [with _Functor = average_damp(T) [with T = main(int, char**)::<lambda>(double), FnType = std::function<double(double)>]::<lambda>(doub le), std::false_type = std::integral_constant<bool, false>]': s:/programming/mingw/lib/gcc/../../include/c++/4.5.0/tr1_impl/functional:1555:4: instantiated from 'static void std::_ Function_base::_Base_manager<_Functor>::_M_init_functor(std::_Any_data&, const _Functor&) [with _Functor = average_damp( T) [with T = main(int, char**)::<lambda>(double), FnType = std::function<double(double)>]::<lambda>(double)]' s:/programming/mingw/lib/gcc/../../include/c++/4.5.0/tr1_impl/functional:2014:6: instantiated from 'std::function<_Res (_ArgTypes ...)>::function(_Functor, typename __gnu_cxx::__enable_if<(! std::is_integral::value), std::function<_Res(_Ar gTypes ...)>::_Useless>::__type) [with _Functor = average_damp(T) [with T = main(int, char**)::<lambda>(double), FnType = std::function<double(double)>]::<lambda>(double), _Res = double, _ArgTypes = double, typename __gnu_cxx::__enable_if<( ! std::is_integral::value), std::function<_Res(_ArgTypes ...)>::_Useless>::__type = std::function<double(double)>::_Usel ess]' lambda.cpp:11:51: instantiated from 'FnType average_damp(T) [with T = main(int, char**)::<lambda>(double), FnType = st d::function<double(double)>]' lambda.cpp:16:55: instantiated from here s:/programming/mingw/lib/gcc/../../include/c++/4.5.0/tr1_impl/functional:1584:4: error: no matching function for call to 'average_damp(T) [with T = main(int, char**)::<lambda>(double), FnType = std::function<double(double)>]::<lambda>(doubl e)::__lambda0(const average_damp(T) [with T = main(int, char**)::<lambda>(double), FnType = std::function<double(double) >]::<lambda>(double)&)' lambda.cpp:11:25: note: candidates are: average_damp(T) [with T = main(int, char**)::<lambda>(double), FnType = std::fun ction<double(double)>]::<lambda>(double) What's wrong? 2. Lambdas and result_of or something similar. How I can determine return type of lambda in compile time? As far as I could understood there is no way to do so. Is it right? -- Best Regards, Sergey mailto:flex_fer...@artberg.ru
