Template Engine

[Mikel SA]

Hello! I need a C++ template engine like Smarty. There is some html file with keywords and symbols, you need the program to read this file, replace these words with necessary actions (for example, you need to extract data from the database) and output the finished html file without any unnecessary symbols. Please HELP!

Do you know how C++ templates work?

[Mikel SA]

No, if you mean something different from what I'm looking for

A C++ template is code with no types.

<template>
T func(T* x)
{
    return x;
}

In your code you say:

int Z = 10;
int a = func<int>(&Z);

The preprocessor hands this to the compiler:

int funcABCDintxxxx(int* x)
{
    return x;
}
 
int Z = 10;
    funcABCDintxxxx(&Z);
 

The funcABCDintxxxx is the result of the mangler which is C++ system library code used to obtain a unique name from some not unique input.

So you will have one func for every type you used. The alternative is you coming up with unique names for identical code.

Is this what you are looking for?

I suppose no! But could you give a code of this C++ template library.
Generally I need the program to read the html file with some key symbols and words, process these keywords and output a full html file without any keywords or key symbols.

If you want I can show you a screen of initial state of html file and a screen of output state of html file?

Because the templates are in text and your code is in text everyone can see the templates. They are public domain.

Just query the Internet for C++ Template Library

Actually I need something like Django (Python framework) but C++ variant, which doesn't have any own server and db, just html corrector, IDK. Sometimes its called template language

At least you know that C++ is not your answer.
