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 depend 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.
Some of the development tools distributed with CentOS (notably CMake) are quite
old, In these instructions, we use cmake3 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 cmake3 gcc gcc-c++ git make openssl-devel
# Install cmake3 & ctest3 as cmake & ctest respectively.
ln -sf /usr/bin/cmake3 /usr/bin/cmake && ln -sf /usr/bin/ctest3 /usr/bin/ctestsudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential cmake git gcc g++ cmake libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev make zlib1g-devsudo dnf makecache
sudo dnf install -y clang cmake gcc-c++ git libcurl-devel make openssl-develsudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install -y cmake gcc gcc-c++ git libcurl-devel makeThe 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 100sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential cmake git gcc g++ cmake libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev make zlib1g-devsudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential cmake git gcc g++ cmake libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev make zlib1g-devThe 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

sudo make installbrew install curl cmake libressl c-aresIf you are already using vcpkg, a package manager from Microsoft,
you can download and compile google-cloud-cpp in a single step:
.\vcpkg.exe install google-cloud-cpp:x64-windows-staticThis command will also print out instructions on how to use the library from
your MSBuild or CMake-based projects. We try to keep the version of
google-cloud-cpp included with vcpkg up-to-date, our practice is to submit a
PR to update the version in vcpkg after each release of google-cloud-cpp.
See below for instructions to compile the code yourself.
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.
If you prefer to manually compile on Windows the following instructions should work, though there is a lot more variability on this platform. We welcome suggestions to make this an easier process.
We will assume that you have installed CMake, Ninja, and "Microsoft Visual Studio 2017". If you have not, install Chocolatey using this command as the administrator:
@"%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex (
(New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"Then you can easily install the necessary development tools.
choco install -y cmake cmake.portable ninja visualstudio2017community
choco install -y visualstudio2017-workload-nativedesktop
choco install -y microsoft-build-toolsThen clone and compile vcpkg:
set SOURCE="%cd%"
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
.\bootstrap-vcpkg.batUse vcpkg to download and install google-cloud-cpp's dependencies:
.\vcpkg.exe install openssl:x64-windows-static ^
grpc:x64-windows-static ^
curl:x64-windows-static ^
gtest:x64-windows-static ^
crc32c:x64-windows-static
.\vcpkg.exe integrate installNow clone google-cloud-cpp:
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-cpp.git
git submodule update --init
cd google-cloud-cppLoad the environment variables needed to use Microsoft Visual Studio:
call "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"Use CMake to create the build files:
cmake -H. -Bbuild-output -GNinja ^
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ^
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="%SOURCE%\vcpkg\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake" ^
-DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-windows-static ^
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=cl.exe ^
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=cl.exe ^
-DGOOGLE_CLOUD_CPP_DEPENDENCY_PROVIDER=package ^
-DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=ninjaAnd compile the code:
cmake --build build-outputFinally, verify the unit tests pass:
cd build-output
ctest --output-on-failureYou 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.
