Yes, though it was a remarkably brief mention. I believe Borland tried to standardise it back in 2002 or so,* along with properties. (I was the C++Builder PM, but a decade and a half after that attempt.) C++Builder’s entire UI system is built around __closure and it is remarkably efficient: effectively, a very neat fat pointer of object instance and method. [*] Edit: two dates on the paper, but “bound pointer to member” and they note the connection to events too: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2002/n13... | ||
