Getting Started

To use cpp-quic, include the cppquic.hpp header in your project. It depends on cpp-udpnet (which transitively depends on cpp-pubsub and cpp-asyncworker).

Integration

1. CMake: `FetchContent` (Recommended)

You can have CMake automatically download and integrate cpp-quic and all its dependencies.

include(FetchContent)

FetchContent_Declare(
  cppquic
  GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/jonoton/cpp-quic.git
  GIT_TAG main
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(cppquic)

target_link_libraries(your_target PRIVATE cppquic::cppquic)

2. Manual Include

Since cpp-quic is a header-only library, you can simply copy cppquic.hpp into your project. You will also need cppudpnet.hpp, cpppubsub.hpp, and cppasyncworker.hpp from their respective repositories.

Prerequisites

C++17 or later
CMake 3.10+ (for CMake-based integration)
Platform: Windows, Linux, or macOS

Platform-Specific Notes

Windows: The library automatically links against ws2_32.lib and bcrypt.lib, and initializes Winsock2.
Linux/macOS: Standard POSIX socket APIs are used. No additional libraries are required.

Dependencies

Dependency	Purpose
cpp-udpnet	UDP transport layer
cpp-pubsub	Event-driven publish/subscribe messaging
cpp-asyncworker	Thread pool and asynchronous worker management

All dependencies are automatically fetched by CMake’s FetchContent when using the recommended integration method.
