If you want to use a function, then give it a name, if you don't want to
use a function, then this can just go in convert_to_dib() body rather
than through a lambda (I know the latter means removing the 'const’).

Removing the ‘const’? Why?

Lambdas are functions.

I believe Christophe is objecting to using a lambda whereas all other

computations use named functions. But frankly, here, I would have

written:

    const int palette_colors =

          out_bits > 8  ? 0

        : bits == 2     ? 4

        : 1 << out_bits;

Not that I don’t like lambdas, but here, it’s a lot of additional syntactic noise.

Out of curiosity, I submitted both variants of the code to g++, and got

exactly the same generated code.

I personally think the purpose of that code was clear even without
a name.
Using a "standard" function requires to declare parameters and pass
them manually, something that lambda capture can do automatically.

By the way, got new version with more old style code.
