[Accepted as a DR at the June, 2024 meeting.]
Subclause 7.5.6.2 [expr.prim.lambda.closure] paragraph 5 restricts the typeof an explicit object parameter of a lambda to the closure type orclasses derived from the closure type. It neglects to considerambiguous or private derivation scenarios.
Proposed resolution (approved by CWG 2024-06-26):
Change in 7.5.6.2 [expr.prim.lambda.closure] paragraph 5 as follows:
Given a lambda with alambda-capture, the type of the explicitobject parameter, if any, of the lambda's function call operator(possibly instantiated from a function call operator template) shallbe either:
- the closure type
- a class typepublicly and unambiguously derived fromthe closure type, or
- a reference to a possibly cv-qualified such type.
Add a new bullet after 13.10.3.1 [temp.deduct.general] bullet 11.10:
- ...
- Attempting to create a function type in which a parameter has atype of void, or in which the return type is a function type or arraytype.
- Attempting to give to an explicit object parameter ofa lambda's function call operator a type not permitted for such(7.5.6.2 [expr.prim.lambda.closure]).

The following example is not supported by the proposed resolutionand remains ill-formed:
int main() { int x = 0; auto lambda = [x] (this auto self) { return x; }; using Lambda = decltype(lambda); struct D : private Lambda { D(Lambda l) : Lambda(l) {} using Lambda::operator(); friend Lambda; } d(lambda); d(); }
