1 // 310-Gen-VariablesInGenerator.cpp
2 // Shows how to use variables when creating generators.

4 // Note that using variables inside generators is dangerous and should
5 // be done only if you know what you are doing, because the generators
6 // _WILL_ outlive the variables -- thus they should be either captured
7 // by value directly, or copied by the generators during construction.
