Yes, because PmWiki won't interpret things inside of [@...@]
(because there's not much way to know if it's code or markup).

Try just leading spaces on the line, without anything around it:

    <space><space><space><space>'''cout<<"hello world"<<endl;'''

If it's in the middle of a code segment, then perhaps the following
will work:

    [@
         code;
         code;
         code;
    @]
         '''cout<<"hello world"<<endl;'''
    [@
         more code;
         more code;
    @]
