Why can’t I create a vector of lambdas (of the same type) in C++11?

by

Every lambda has a different type—even if they have the same signature. You must use a run-time encapsulating container such as std::function if you want to do something like that.

e.g.:

std::vector<std::function<int()>> functors;
functors.push_back([&] { return 100; });
functors.push_back([&] { return  10; });
