platform-pdm-proto-wrapper

A C++ library to wrap platform-pdm output in protobuf

Acquiring

platform-pdm-proto-wrapper depends on the platform-pdm git submodule. So you should clone the repository with the following command:

git clone git@github.com:carbonengine/pdm-proto-wrapper.git --recurse-submodules

Building

CMake and git should take care of downloading dependencies. So building is as trivial as this:

cmake -S . -B .build
cmake --build .build

Using

with cmake

1. Place the source code somewhere in your project, f.e. a vendor/pdm-protobuf folder
2. Use add_subdirectory(vendor/pdm-protobuf) to add it to your project
3. Link this with your project: target_link_libraries(mytarget PUBLIC platform_pdm_proto_wrapper)

without cmake

1. add the include/ directory to your compilers include directories
2. somewhere in your code do this:

#include <stringstream>
#include <pdm/protobuf.h>

void foo() {
    std::stringstream buffer;
    // `GetData` and `GetEVEPublicData` return data from the eve_public proto domain.
    // `GetEVELauncherData` can be used to return data from the deprecated eve_launcher proto domain.
    auto can_serialize = pdm_proto::GetData(&buffer);
    if (can_serialize) {
        // buffer now contains an instance of the protobuf encoded details.
        // Use `ParseFromIStream(&buffer)` to retrieve the actual protobuf structure
    }
}

3. Add pdm_protobuf.lib to your linker libraries
