Hi All, In the last few months constexpr lambdas and their absence in the standard came up multiple times in boost-devel, expecially when discussing the Hana library. I just wanted to share a C++14 emulation of the feature. The emulation uses both the already known conditional operator trick to allow constepr function objects to be initialized from lambda expressions, plus what I think is a novel trick to allow the actual function object operator() to be constexpr. Implementation + example is here: https://github.com/gpderetta/libtask/blob/master/lambda.cpp Sorry about the macro obfuscation, I was experimenting with a 'cute' lambda interface, but the underlying idea is very simple and pretty obvious in retrospect. I haven't tested that forwarding is always correc and I probably got some cases wrong. Lambda captures and multiple statemens are doable, but are left as an exercise for the reader :) I came up with the trick when trying to implement an emulation of N3617 (Lifting overload sets into function objects). Turns out that implementing the 'quote' syntax is almost trivial in C++14 with generic lambdas, but making it constexpr reliably has so far eluded me as all implementations I have tried ICE both gcc and clang. Still the constexpr lambda emulation itself seems to work. HTH, -- gpd
