The C++ [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) client.
## Project Status
**Stable** across all 3 signals i.e. `Logs`, `Metrics`, and `Traces`.
See [Spec Compliance
Matrix](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-specification/blob/main/spec-compliance-matrix.md)
to understand which portions of the specification has been implemented in this
repo.
## Supported C++ Versions
Code shipped from this repository generally supports the following versions of
C++ standards:
* ISO/IEC 14882:2014 (C++14)
* ISO/IEC 14882:2017 (C++17)
* ISO/IEC 14882:2020 (C++20)
Any exceptions to this are noted in the individual `README.md` files.
Please note that supporting the [C Programming
Language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language)) is not a goal
of the current project.
## Supported Development Platforms
Our CI pipeline builds and tests on following `x86-64` platforms:
| Platform | Build type |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------|
| ubuntu-22.04 (GCC 10, GCC 12, Clang 14) | CMake, Bazel |
| ubuntu-20.04 (GCC 9.4.0 - default compiler) | CMake, Bazel |
| ubuntu-20.04 (GCC 9.4.0 with -std=c++14/17/20 flags) | CMake, Bazel |
| macOS 12.7 (Xcode 14.2) | Bazel |
| Windows Server 2019 (Visual Studio Enterprise 2019) | CMake, Bazel |
| Windows Server 2022 (Visual Studio Enterprise 2022) | CMake |
In general, the code shipped from this repository should build on all platforms
having C++ compiler with [supported C++ standards](#supported-c-versions).
## Dependencies
Please refer to [Dependencies.md](docs/dependencies.md) for OSS Dependencies and
license requirements.
## Installation
Please refer to [INSTALL.md](./INSTALL.md).
## Getting Started
As an application owner or the library author, you can find the getting started
guide and reference documentation on
[opentelemetry-cpp.readthedocs.io](https://opentelemetry-cpp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
The `examples/simple` directory contains a minimal program demonstrating how to
instrument a small library using a simple `processor` and console `exporter`,
along with build files for CMake and Bazel.
