Why is it not possible to use private method in a lambda?

Question

Having a class like this:

class A {
public:
    bool hasGrandChild() const;

private:
    bool hasChild() const;
    vector children_;
};
         


        

Answer 1

It isn't possible because the lambda is not a part of the class. It's the same as making an out-of-class function, and calling it instead of creating a lambda. Of course it doesn't have access to private members.
