Bug ID: 87685 Summary: [Regression] Calling a static method from inside a generic lambda requires to capture 'this' Product: gcc Version: 8.1.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: abun.lp at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 44877 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=44877&action=edit preprocessed file Hello, We've stumbled upon what seems to be a regression in GCC 8 compared to 7.3. It involves calling a static class method from inside a generic lambda. If the static method is overloaded by a another non-static method, GCC complains that 'this' is not captured. It looks like a slightly more complex version of bug 51494. Here's an example that fails to compile on GCC 8.1.1 but compiles on 7.3 and previous versions: struct A { template <typename T> static void f(T) {} void f() {} void foo() { [] (auto&& v) { A::f(v); }; // OK if parameter type is specified } }; Compiler output: $ gcc -std=c++14 -v -save-temps -Wall -Wextra test.cpp Using built-in specs.
