Right. Actually, now that I think about it I'm getting a little confused about scenarios where this could save you space. I think they may be limited.
Scenarios for static stateless lambda expressions are limited, so it's not a surprise that scenarios where this could save you space are limited too ;) We should carefully think about static _stateful_ lambda expressions. Some lambda expressions contain only constants and these expressions can be "complied" into static function. Though, it may lead to a confusion when a user pass a variable (not constant!) but static lambda uses a value passed first time. int x = 0; (_1 + x).get_static_function<int>()(0); // returns 0 - ok x = 1; (_1 + x).get_static_function<int>()(0); // returns 0 - bad Too bad. I have another use-case where stateful lambda could be useful but above problem doesn't give it any real chance :-( -- Alexander Nasonov - http://nasonov.blogspot.com Pennies do not come from heaven.
