+# `/Zc:lambda` (Enable updated lambda processor)
+
+The **`/Zc:lambda`** compiler option enables conforming lambda grammar and processing support.
+
+## Syntax
+
+> **`/Zc:lambda`**[**`-`**]
+
+## Remarks
+
+The **`/Zc:lambda`** compiler option enables the conforming lambda processor. It parses and implements lambda code according to the C++ standard. This option is off by default, which uses the legacy lambda processor. Use this option to enable conformance-mode syntax checks of generic lambdas when you use the default [`/std:c++14`](std-specify-language-standard-version.md) or the [`/std:c++17`](std-specify-language-standard-version.md) compiler options.
+
+**`/Zc:lambda`** is automatically enabled by the [`/std:c++20`](std-specify-language-standard-version.md), [`/std:c++latest`](std-specify-language-standard-version.md), and [`/experimental:module`](experimental-module.md) options. You can disable it explicitly by using **`/Zc:lambda-`**. The [`/permissive-`](permissive-standards-conformance.md) option doesn't enable **`/Zc:lambda`**.
+
+The **`/Zc:lambda`** option is available starting in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.8. It's available as **`/experimental:newLambdaProcessor`** starting in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.3, but this spelling is now deprecated.
+
+The legacy lambda processor has limitations when it parses and compiles lambdas. For example, this conforming code compiles correctly under **`/Zc:lambda`**, but reports errors under **`/Zc:lambda-`**:
+
+```cpp
+void f1() 
+{
+    constexpr auto c_value = 1;
+    auto func = []()
+    {
+        return c_value; // error C3493: 'c_value' cannot be implicitly captured
+                        // because no default capture mode has been specified
+    };
+    func(); // error C2064: term does not evaluate to a function taking 0 arguments
+}
+```
+
+The legacy lambda processor compiles this code without warnings, but the new lambda processor produces error C2760:
+
+```cpp
+void f2() {
+    auto a = [](auto arg) {
+        decltype(arg)::Type t; // C2760 syntax error: unexpected token 'identifier', expected ';'
+    };
+}
+```
+
+This example shows the correct syntax, now enforced by the compiler under **`/Zc:lambda`**:
+
+```cpp
+void f3() {
+    auto a = [](auto arg) {
+        typename decltype(arg)::Type t;
+    };
+}
+```

 # Translation units and linkage
 
-In a C++ program, a *symbol*, for example a variable or function name, can be declared any number of times within its scope, but it can only be defined once. This rule is the "One Definition Rule" (ODR). A *declaration* introduces (or re-introduces) a name into the program. A *definition* introduces a name. If the name represents a variable, a definition explicitly initializes it. A *function definition* consists of the signature plus the function body. A class definition consists of the class name followed by a block that lists all the class members. (The bodies of member functions may optionally be defined separately in another file.)

 ## External vs. internal linkage
 
-A *free function* is a function that is defined at global or namespace scope. Non-const global variables and free functions by default have *external linkage*; they are visible from any translation unit in the program. Therefore, no other global object can have that name. A symbol with *internal linkage* or *no linkage* is visible only within the translation unit in which it is declared. When a name has internal linkage, the same name may exist in another translation unit. Variables declared within class definitions or function bodies have no linkage.

When a name has internal linkage, the same name may exist in another translation unit. Variables declared within class definitions or function bodies have no linkage.
 
-You can force a global name to have internal linkage by explicitly declaring it as **`static`**. This limits its visibility to the same translation unit in which it is declared. In this context, **`static`** means something different than when applied to local variables.
