Common Types and Functions for the Google Cloud C++ Libraries

The source files in google/cloud/ define types and functions shared by the several Google Cloud C++ libraries. Here is where you will find the implementation of types used throughout the libraries, such as StatusOr<T>, Status, future<T>, or CompletionQueue.

We consider this code stable and generally available. Please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.

Some sub-directories include internal-only types and functions. These are used in the implementation of the Google Cloud C++ libraries, but are not intended for general use. They are subject to change and/or removal without notice. These include google/cloud/internal/, and google/cloud/testing_utils/.
