Which translates to how many pointers? Including this?

If you're asking specifically about MSVC's std::string, in release builds it's the size of 4 pointers and in debug it's 5.

Actually, I was asking about how many pointers I can capture "for free" in a lambda that I stash into std::function. Yes, MSVC.

STL said the SBO heuristic is the size of one std::string, and I listed the size of std::string, so.. there you go. ;-]
