# 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.
