I am not sure what your intention is but instead of storing it in a std::function you can use the lambda itself to capture the params.
This is an example discussed on the boost mailing list. It is used in the boost::hana implementation
auto list = [](auto ...xs) {
return [=](auto access) { return access(xs...); };
};
auto head = [](auto xs) {
return xs([](auto first, auto ...rest) { return first; });
};
auto tail = [](auto xs) {
return xs([](auto first, auto ...rest) { return list(rest...); });
};
auto length = [](auto xs) {
return xs([](auto ...z) { return sizeof...(z); });
};
// etc...
// then use it like
auto three = length(list(1, '2', "3"));
