Lambda capture as const reference?

Question

Is it possible to capture by const reference in a lambda expression?

I want the assignment marked below to fail, for example:

#include 

        

Answer 1

I think the capture part should not specify const, as the capture means, it only need a way to access the outer scope variable.

The specifier is better specified in the outer scope.

const string better_string = "XXX";
[&better_string](string s) {
    better_string = s;    // error: read-only area.
}

lambda function is const(can't change value in its scope), so when you capture variable by value, the variable can not be changed, but the reference is not in the lambda scope.
