[Cppcms-users] Why can't we use pointers in templates?

[augustin <aug...@ov...>]

Hello,

cppcms_tmpl_cc does not allow us to use pointers within templates: the 
template regex does not validate.

For example, if I use something like this:

<%= content.getPerson(r.id)->usFirst %>

I get the compile error:
Error: Syntax error in command Inline Variable ...

Is it considered good practice to load all strings into the 
cppcms::base_content struct and not to rely on pointers to object that are 
stored permanently into memory (stored in memory over many http requests 
thanks to fast_cgi)?
As far as I can tell, it's the only practice available.

thanks,

augustin.

you can use pointers if you typedef them in a header file before.
with regard to most std::* types, they usually manage their memory
internally and are not a peoblem passing by value, string behaves like
that.
