This directory contains an idiomatic C++ client library for interacting with Cloud Pub/Sub, an asynchronous messaging service that decouples services that produce events from services that process events.
Please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.
⚠️ This library is under development and subject to breaking changes without notice.
- Windows, macOS, Linux
- C++11 (and higher) compilers (we test with GCC >= 5.4, Clang >= 3.8, and MSVC >= 2019)
- Environments with or without exceptions
- Bazel and CMake builds
- Official documentation about the Cloud Pub/Sub service
- Reference doxygen documentation for each release of this client library
- Detailed header comments in our public
.h
files
The quickstart/ directory contains a minimal environment to help you quickly get started using this client library. The following is the "Hello World" program you'll be running, which should give you a taste of this library.
#include "google/cloud/pubsub/publisher.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
if (argc != 3) {
std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " <project-id> <topic-id>\n";
return 1;
}
std::string const project_id = argv[1];
std::string const topic_id = argv[2];
// Create a namespace alias to make the code easier to read.
namespace pubsub = google::cloud::pubsub;
auto publisher = pubsub::Publisher(
pubsub::MakePublisherConnection(pubsub::Topic(project_id, topic_id), {}));
auto id =
publisher
.Publish(pubsub::MessageBuilder{}.SetData("Hello World!").Build())
.get();
if (!id) throw std::runtime_error(id.status().message());
std::cout << "Hello World published with id=" << *id << "\n";
return 0;
} catch (std::exception const& ex) {
std::cerr << "Standard exception raised: " << ex.what() << "\n";
return 1;
}
