/ / The message passing of libcaf prohibits pointers in messages because / it enforces network transparent messaging.

/ / The message passing of libcaf prohibits pointers in messages because / it enforces network transparent messaging.

/ Unfortunately, string literals in C++ have the type const char*, resp.const char[]. Since libcaf is a user-friendly library, / it silently converts string literals and C-strings to std::string objects. It also converts unicode literals to the corresponding STL container.

A few examples: ~~ // sends a string containing "hello actor!" to itself send(self, "hello actor!");

const char* cstring = "cstring"; // sends an string containing "cstring" to itself send(self, cstring);

// sends an u16string containing the UTF16 string "hello unicode world!" send(self, u"hello unicode world!"); ~~
