[Bug c++/42741] New: core dump in recursive lambda function

["vimal78 at gmail dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

i am new to c++ lambda, and trying to use it. Please excuse me if my bug
reports are invalid.

here is something i wished would work, but doesn't.

auto sum = [&term,&next,&sum](int a, int b)mutable ->int
{
   if(a>b)
     return 0;
   else
     return term(a) + sum(next(a),b);
};

It gives compilation error:
vimal@linux-718q:~/Study/09C++/c++0x/lambda> g++ -g -std=c++0x sum.cpp
sum.cpp: In lambda function:
sum.cpp:13:36: error: ?((<lambda(int, int)>*)this)-><lambda(int, int)>::sum?
cannot be used as a function



Then i changed the recursive lambda as follows:

std::function<int(int,int)> sum = [&term,&next,&sum](int a, int b)->int
{
   if(a>b)
     return 0;
   else
     return term(a) + sum(next(a),b);
};

this seems to compile but gives a core dump.

the gdb report is:
