Use the saved member position for the lookup.

locator->source_position is uninitialized here. clear_locator copies it into loc, so this introduces undefined behavior during closure rescans. Use qualified_member_position, which was initialized from the saved operand. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @src/expr.c at line 10798:
Update the clear_locator call in the closure-rescan path to use the initialized
qualified_member_position saved from the operand instead of
locator->source_position.

Inspect declarations when checking lambda-body dependence.

If a lambda body contains only a dependent declaration, such as using U = typename T::type;, traverse_statement skips its stmk_decl entities. This helper can then return FALSE, and the caller clears the closure's nonreal flag even though the body still depends on T. Check declaration entities and their types before marking the closure real. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @src/il.c at line 27520:
Update the lambda-body dependence check around
traverse_statement(func_scope->assoc_block, &tblock) to inspect stmk_decl
entities and their types as well as traversed statements, so a dependent
declaration keeps the closure marked nonreal instead of being treated as
independent.

Spurious substitution failure for lambda naming template parameter in signature

Previously, a lambda expression appearing in a function template signature
(or an enable_if attribute) that referenced an enclosing template parameter
failed template argument substitution. For example, with --c++20:

template<typename T>
void f(char (*)[sizeof([] { return T{}; }())]) {}
void g() {
char a[sizeof(int)];
f<int>(&a); // Previously a spurious error, now okay.
}
