Thanks for the detailed answer: I will read the standard more in detail. Syntactic-wise It seems that I can implement it as bool A::foo4(int i, int j) const { auto f1 = sel ? [](int a, int b,int) { return a<b;} : [](int a, int b, int k) { return a<b+k;}; auto f = [this,f1](int a, int b) { return f1(a,b,q);}; return f(i,j); } As optimization is what I'm looking for I will look to the generated assembler and then decide the specific implementation.
