[cfe-dev] Issue where Lambda capture of reference to globals doesn't actually capture anything

[Lewis, Cannada via cfe-dev]

Hello,

We recently encountered an issue where clang has some unexpected behavior with respect to the capture of local references to global variables https://godbolt.org/z/KasP9K.

Most compilers (gcc, MSVC, icc) appear to create a member variable to hold the value of `myfoo` and have `dummy` return a size of 16.  Clang does not store a member for `myfoo` (in the AST there is no `FieldDecl` for `myfoo`).

This leads to the interesting issue here: https://godbolt.org/z/G59e7M
Where clang and gcc will print out different values.

I don’t know if this is a clang issue (known?), or a {gcc,icc,msvc} issue, or is implementation defined, but any insight on this would be welcome.
