P4API - Wrapper around Perforce C++ API on Windows

Contributed by Robert Cowham of Vizim Worldwide. Robert is a Perforce Consulting Partner and Trainer.

Introduction

This is a simple wrapper around the P4API to make it slightly easier to use from C++, and to make it similar in function to P4Ruby, P4Python etc.

Requirements:

• Initally provided for Visual Studio 2008

• Tested using WinUnit

• Requires you to download P4API and currently install in p4api-2007.3-vs2003_dyn_vsdebug (see .vcproj file)

Examples

See P4APITest/P4APITest.cpp

StrBuf errMsg;
P4Connection p4;
InitP4(p4);
p4.ParseForms();
WIN_ASSERT_ZERO(p4.Connect(errMsg), _T("Connect should work"));
p4.Run("info", 0, NULL);
WIN_ASSERT_TRUE(p4.InfoArray()->Count() > 0, _T("Some info returned."));
TraceResults(p4);

{
char *args[] = {"-s"};
p4.Run("login", 1, args);
TraceResults(p4);
}

p4.SetInput((LPCSTR) "brunopass");
p4.Run("login", 0, NULL);
TraceResults(p4);
