Description
An alternative to declaring functions using the `FIT_STATIC_LAMBDA_FUNCTION` is to use the factory pattern in C++14:
``` cpp
struct lambda_factor
{
auto operator*() const
{
return [] { ... };
}
};
FIT_STATIC_FUNCTION(lambda) = fit::indirect(lambda_factor{});
```
It might be possible to have a macro to reduce this boilerplate:
``` cpp
#define FIT_STATIC_FACTORY(name) \
struct name ## _factory { auto operator*() const; } \
FIT_STATIC_FUNCTION(name) = fit::indirect(name ## _factory{}); \
auto name ## _factory::operator*() const
```
Then it could be written as:
``` cpp
FIT_STATIC_FACTORY(lambda)
{
return [] { ... };
}
```
By making it a macro it could fallback on using a lambda in C++11, although this would require a semicolon at the end.
