Using member variable in lambda capture list inside a member function

by

I believe VS2010 to be right this time, and I’d check if I had the standard handy, but currently I don’t.

Now, it’s exactly like the error message says: You can’t capture stuff outside of the enclosing scope of the lambda.† grid is not in the enclosing scope, but this is (every access to grid actually happens as this->grid in member functions). For your usecase, capturing this works, since you’ll use it right away and you don’t want to copy the grid

auto lambda = [this](){ std::cout << grid[0][0] << "\n"; }

If however, you want to store the grid and copy it for later access, where your puzzle object might already be destroyed, you’ll need to make an intermediate, local copy:

vector<vector<int> > tmp(grid);
auto lambda = [tmp](){}; // capture the local copy per copy

† I’m simplifying – Google for “reaching scope” or see §5.1.2 for all the gory details.
