[cfe-dev] Nested functions in Clang?

[Nikola Smiljanic via cfe-dev]

>From http://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html

clang does not support nested functions; this is a complex feature which is
infrequently used, so it is unlikely to be implemented anytime soon. In
C++11 it can be emulated by assigning lambda functions to local variables,
e.g:

auto const local_function = [&](int parameter) {
  // Do something
};
...
local_function(1);
