        <pre>The following program:

// --------------------
#include <type_traits>

struct S;

void f(S *) = delete;  // #1
void f(const S *){};   // #2

struct S {
  void g() const {
    [*this]() mutable { f(this); }();
  }
};

int main() {
  S s{};
  s.g();
}
// ---------------

is well-formed. As per [expr.prim.lambda.closure]/12 [1]

<span class="quote">> [...] but for purposes of name lookup, **determining the type**
> and value **of this** [...] the compound-statement is considered
> in the context of the lambda-expression. </span >

and [class.this]/1 [2]

<span class="quote">> In the body of a non-static ([class.mfct]) member function, the 
> keyword this is a prvalue whose value is a pointer to the object
> for which the function is called. **The type of this** in a member 
> function whose type has a cv-qualifier-seq cv and whose class is 
> X is “pointer to cv X”.</span >

the type of 'this' in a lambda defined in a const-qualified member function,
even when referred to from in the compound-statement of a lambda, is a
const-qualified type. This also holds even if the lambda is mutable and the
'*this' object is captured by copy. Thus, the 'f(this)' call in the program
above should resolve to overload #2, not overload #1.

However, Clang (for various versions and for {std=c++17, -std=c++2a}) rejects
the program as 'this' when referred to from within the lambda's
compound-statement is considered to be of non-const type, thus picking the
deleted overload #1. GCC and MSVC (various versions) both accept the program,
picking overload #2.

The relevant wording (afaict) is aligned e.g. with CWG 756 [3] but for a
copy-capture of the '*this' object (CWG 756 covers intentionally preserving
constness for variables captured by value, even in mutable lambdas).
