Bug #: 54276 Summary: Lambda in a Template Function Undefined Reference to local static Classification: Unclassified Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: tra...@gockelhut.com Created attachment 28021 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=28021 Compile The following code will fail to link with "undefined reference to `x'" when compiled with g++ (4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.6.3 and 4.7.0): template <typename T> void foo(T) { static int x = 1; auto f = [] { return x + 1; }; f(); } --- /tmp/cc236Klq.o: In function `void foo<int>(int)::{lambda()#1}::operator()() const': unmangled-ref.cpp:(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `x' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status --- It *appears* we attempt to load x from the unmangled version: movl _ZL1x(%rip), %eax In g++ 4.6.3, you can work around this issue by explicitly capturing the static variable: auto f = [&x] { return x + 1; }; So x is loaded from the fully-mangled name: movq $_ZZ3fooIiEvT_E1x, -16(%rbp) --- $> g++ -v Using built-in specs.
