A possible solution I found looking into this is to wrap the Entry
reference in a std::unique_ptr - so changing -
std::deque<Entry> messages;
to -
std::deque<std::unique_ptr<Entry>> messages;

This turns messages into a pointer so you need to change
messages.date into messages->date

This got blender compiling past that issue but I haven't got the rest
of it compiling to test that it runs.
