Make QtConcurrent::mapped work with lambdas

I am trying to use QtConcurrent::mapped into a QVector<QString>. I already tried a lot of methods, but it seems there are always problems with overloading.

QVector<QString> words = {"one", "two", "three", "four"};

using StrDouble = std::pair<QString, double>;

QFuture<StrDouble> result = QtConcurrent::mapped<StrDouble>(words, [](const QString& word) -> StrDouble {
    return std::make_pair(word + word, 10);
});

This snippet returns the following error:

/home/lhahn/dev/cpp/TestLambdaConcurrent/mainwindow.cpp:23: error: no matching function for call to ‘mapped(QVector<QString>&, MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget*)::<lambda(const QString&)>)’
 });
  ^

I saw this post, which says that Qt cannot find the return value of the lambda, so you have to use std::bind with it. If I try this:

using StrDouble = std::pair<QString, double>;
using std::placeholders::_1;

auto map_fn = [](const QString& word) -> StrDouble {
    return std::make_pair(word + word, 10.0);
};

auto wrapper_map_fn = std::bind(map_fn, _1);

QFuture<StrDouble> result = QtConcurrent::mapped<StrDouble>(words, wrapper_map_fn);

But the the error is still similar:

/home/lhahn/dev/cpp/TestLambdaConcurrent/mainwindow.cpp:28: error: no matching function for call to ‘mapped(QVector<QString>&, std::_Bind<MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget*)::<lambda(const QString&)>(std::_Placeholder<1>)>&)’
 QFuture<StrDouble> result = QtConcurrent::mapped<StrDouble>(words, wrapper_map_fn);
                                                                                  ^

I also tried wrapping the lambda inside std::function but unfortunately similar results.

• Note that this example is just for reproduction, I need a lambda because I am also capturing variables in my code.
