# Google Cloud Platform C++ Proto Libraries
|
|
|
|
Compile the protocol buffer definitions into C++ libraries.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
#### Compiler
|
|
|
|
The Google Cloud C++ libraries are tested with the following compilers:
|
|
|
|
| Compiler | Minimum Version |
|
|
| ----------- | --------------- |
|
|
| GCC | 4.8 |
|
|
| Clang | 3.8 |
|
|
| MSVC++ | 14.1 |
|
|
| Apple Clang | 8.1 |
|
|
|
|
#### Build Tools
|
|
|
|
The Google Cloud C++ Client Libraries can be built with
|
|
[CMake](https://cmake.org) or [Bazel](https://bazel.io). The minimal versions
|
|
of these tools we test with are:
|
|
|
|
| Tool | Minimum Version |
|
|
| ---------- | --------------- |
|
|
| CMake | 3.5 |
|
|
| Bazel | 0.24.0 |
|
|
|
|
#### Libraries
|
|
|
|
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 | v1.16.x |
|
|
| libcurl | 7.47.0 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Versioning
|
|
|
|
Please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries do **not** follow
|
|
[Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/).
|
|
|
|
**GA**: Libraries defined at a GA quality level are expected to be stable and
|
|
any backwards-incompatible changes will be noted in the documentation. Major
|
|
changes to the API will signaled by changing major version number
|
|
(e.g. 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.
