C++ Idiomatic Clients for Google Cloud Platform services.
This library supports the following Google Cloud Platform services with clients at the Beta quality level:
This library supports the following Google Cloud Platform services with clients at the Alpha quality level:
The libraries in this code base likely do not (yet) cover all the available APIs.
The Google Cloud C++ libraries are tested with the following compilers:
Compiler | Minimum Version |
---|---|
GCC | 4.9 |
Clang | 3.8 |
MSVC++ | 14.1 |
Apple Clang | 8.1 |
The Google Cloud C++ Client Libraries can be built with CMake or Bazel. The minimal versions of these tools we test with are:
Tool | Minimum Version |
---|---|
CMake | 3.5 |
Bazel | 0.12.0 |
The libraries also depends on gRPC, libcurl, and the dependencies of those libraries. The Google Cloud C++ Client libraries are tested with the following versions of these dependencies:
Library | Minimum version |
---|---|
gRPC | v1.10.x |
libcurl | 7.47.0 |
Integration tests at times use the Google Cloud SDK. The integration tests run against the latest version of the SDK on each commit and PR.
The default compiler on CentOS doesn't fully support C++11. We need to upgrade
the compiler and other development tools. In these instructions, we use g++-7
via Software Collections.
# Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux used to install cmake3
rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
yum install centos-release-scl
yum-config-manager --enable rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms
yum makecache
yum install -y devtoolset-7 cmake3 curl-devel git openssl-devel
# Install cmake3 & ctest3 as cmake & ctest respectively.
ln -sf /usr/bin/cmake3 /usr/bin/cmake && ln -sf /usr/bin/ctest3 /usr/bin/ctest
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential cmake git gcc g++ cmake libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev make zlib1g-dev
sudo dnf makecache
sudo dnf install -y clang cmake gcc-c++ git libcurl-devel make openssl-devel
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install -y cmake gcc gcc-c++ git libcurl-devel make
The stock compiler on OpenSuSE (Leap) has poor support for C++11, we recommend
updating to g++-5
using:
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install -y cmake gcc gcc-c++ git libcurl-devel make
sudo zypper install gcc5 gcc5-c++
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-5 100
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-5 100
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential cmake git gcc g++ cmake libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev make zlib1g-dev
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential cmake git gcc g++ cmake libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev make zlib1g-dev
The default compiler on Ubuntu-14.04 (Trusty Tahr) doesn't fully support C++11. In addition, gRPC requires a newer version of OpenSSL than the one included in the system.
It is possible to work around these limitations on a new installation of Ubuntu-14.04, but there are known issues working on a system where these libraries are already installed.
Nevertheless, the following steps are known to work:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test -y
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y cmake3 git gcc-4.9 g++-4.9 make wget zlib1g-dev
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.9 100
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.9 100

To build all available libraries and run the tests, run the following commands after cloning this repo:
git submodule update --init
# Add -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF to disable tests
cmake -H. -Bbuild-output
# Adjust the number of threads used by modifying parameter for `-j 4`
cmake --build build-output -- -j 4
# Verify build by running tests
(cd build-output && ctest --output-on-failure)
You will find compiled binaries in build-output/
respective to their source paths.
git submodule update --init
export OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/libressl
# Add -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF to disable tests
cmake -H. -Bbuild-output
# Adjust the number of threads used by modifying parameter for `-j 4`
cmake --build build-output -- -j 4
# Verify build by running tests
(cd build-output && ctest --output-on-failure)
You will find compiled binaries in build-output/
respective to their source paths.
On Windows with MSVC use:
cmake --build build-output -- /m
# Verify build by running tests
cd build-output
ctest --output-on-failure
You will find compiled binaries in build-output\
respective to their
source directories.
This library follows Semantic Versioning. Please note it is currently under active development. Any release versioned 0.x.y is subject to backwards incompatible changes at any time.
GA: Libraries defined at a GA quality level are expected to be stable and all updates in the libraries are guaranteed to be backwards-compatible. Any backwards-incompatible changes will lead to the major version increment (1.x.y -> 2.0.0).
Beta: Libraries defined at a Beta quality level are expected to be mostly stable and we're working towards their release candidate. We will address issues and requests with a higher priority.
Alpha: Libraries defined at an Alpha quality level are still a work-in-progress and are more likely to get backwards-incompatible updates. Additionally, it's possible for Alpha libraries to get deprecated and deleted before ever being promoted to Beta or GA.
