Variadic templates for lambda expressions

Question

What's the correct way to do this with g++:

template < typename F >
void g (F f);

template < typename ... A >
void h (A ... a);

template < typename ... A >
void f (A ... a) {
  g ([&a] () { h (a...); }); // g++-4.6: error: parameter packs not expanded with »...«
}

Answer 1

I think you need to expand the pack a in the capture list as well, like this:

template < typename ... A >
void f (A ... a) {
  g ([&, a...] () { h (a...); }); 
}

Here is the relevant text from the C++0x Final Committee Draft, section 5.1.2.23:

A capture followed by an ellipsis is a pack expansion (14.5.3). [ Example:

template<class... Args> void f(Args... args) {
    auto lm = [&, args...] { return g(args...); }; lm();
}

— end example ]
