template<typename T> void doSomething(T&& mStuff)
{
auto lambda([&mStuff]{ doStuff(std::forward<T>(mStuff)); });
lambda();
}
Is it correct to capture the perfectly-forwarded mStuff
variable with the &mStuff
syntax?
Or is there a specific capture syntax for perfectly-forwarded variables?
EDIT: What if the perfectly-forwarded variable is a parameter pack?

Yes, assuming that you don't use this lambda outside doSomething
. Your code captures mStuff
per reference and will correctly forward it inside the lambda.
For mStuff being a parameter pack it suffices to use a simple-capture with a pack-expansion:
template <typename... T> void doSomething(T&&... mStuff)
{
auto lambda = [&mStuff...]{ doStuff(std::forward<T>(mStuff)...); };
}
The lambda captures every element of mStuff
per reference. The closure-object saves an lvalue reference for to each argument, regardless of its value category. Perfect forwarding still works; In fact, there isn't even a difference because named rvalue references would be lvalues anyway.
