Bug ID: 57607 Summary: g++ cannot distinguish obj-c message call from c++11 lambda Product: gcc Version: 4.8.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: objc++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: antonbachin at yahoo dot com The following program (test.mm) has both a lambda and a message call: #import <cstdlib> #import <iostream> #import <Foundation/NSString.h> int main() { [] () { std::cout << "Hello world!" << std::endl; }(); std::cout << [@"Hello world!" UTF8String] << std::endl; return EXIT_SUCCESS; } Compiling with gcc 4.8.1 results in: > g++-mp-4.8 -std=c++11 test.mm && ./a.out test.mm: In function 'int main()': test.mm:8:6: error: expected identifier before ']' token [] () { std::cout << "Hello world!" << std::endl; }(); ^ test.mm:8:6: error: '<expression error>' is not an Objective-C class name or alias test.mm:8:6: error: objective-c++ message argument(s) are expected before ']' token test.mm:8:11: error: expected ';' before '{' token [] () { std::cout << "Hello world!" << std::endl; }(); ^ test.mm:8:57: error: expected primary-expression before ')' token [] () { std::cout << "Hello world!" << std::endl; }(); ^ (I know that this wouldn't link, but I'm not getting that far). Meanwhile, with clang: > clang++ -std=c++11 -framework Foundation test.mm && ./a.out Hello world! Hello world!
