This directory contains an idiomatic C++ client library for Cloud Tasks API, a service that manages the execution of large numbers of distributed requests.
While this library is GA, please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.
- Windows, macOS, Linux
- C++11 (and higher) compilers (we test with GCC >= 5.4, Clang >= 6.0, and MSVC >= 2017)
- Environments with or without exceptions
- Bazel and CMake builds
- Official documentation about the Cloud Tasks API 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 get started using this client library in a larger project. The following "Hello World" program is used in this quickstart, and should give you a taste of this library.
#include "google/cloud/tasks/cloud_tasks_client.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
if (argc != 3) {
std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id location\n";
return 1;
}
namespace tasks = ::google::cloud::tasks;
auto client = tasks::CloudTasksClient(tasks::MakeCloudTasksConnection());
auto const parent =
std::string("projects/") + argv[1] + "/locations/" + argv[2];
for (auto const& queue : client.ListQueues(parent)) {
std::cout << queue.value().DebugString() << "\n";
}
return 0;
} catch (std::exception const& ex) {
std::cerr << "Standard exception raised: " << ex.what() << "\n";
return 1;
}
- Packaging maintainers or developers who prefer to install the library in a
fixed directory (such as
/usr/local
or/opt
) should consult the packaging guide. - Developers wanting to use the libraries as part of a larger CMake or Bazel project should consult the quickstart guides for the library or libraries they want to use.
- Developers wanting to compile the library just to run some of the examples or tests should read the current document.
- Contributors and developers to
google-cloud-cpp
should consult the guide to setup a development workstation.
