This directory contains an idiomatic C++ client library for the Access Context Manager API, a service for setting attribute based access control on requests to GCP services.

While this library is GA, please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.

• Windows, macOS, Linux
• C++14 (and higher) compilers (we test with GCC >= 7.3, Clang >= 6.0, and MSVC >= 2017)
• Environments with or without exceptions
• Bazel (>= 4.0) and CMake (>= 3.5) builds

• Official documentation about the Access Context Manager 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/accesscontextmanager/access_context_manager_client.h"
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
  if (argc != 2) {
    std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " policy-id\n";
    return 1;
  }

  namespace accesscontextmanager = ::google::cloud::accesscontextmanager;
  auto client = accesscontextmanager::AccessContextManagerClient(
      accesscontextmanager::MakeAccessContextManagerConnection());

  auto const parent = std::string("accessPolicies/") + argv[1];
  for (auto r : client.ListAccessLevels(parent)) {
    if (!r) throw std::move(r).status();
    std::cout << r->DebugString() << "\n";
  }

  return 0;
} catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {
  std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\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 examples or tests should read the current document.
• Contributors and developers to google-cloud-cpp should consult the guide to setup a development workstation.
