# Protobuf/GRPC with CMake Example

This is a basic example of a CMake project using Protobuf together with gRPC in C++.

For some background info, have a look at this blog post explaining [how to structure gRPC projects with CMake](https://www.f-ax.de/dev/2020/11/08/grpc-plugin-cmake-support.html).

### gRPC Reflection

Reflection can be enabled by linking agains `gRPC::grpc++_reflection`, enabling support for the `grpc_cli` tool.

If this project is linked with a static version of the grpc library from vcpkg

the `-Wl,--whole-archive` flag has to be used. (together with `--allow-multiple-definition`). When linking dynamically,

you will want to link the reflection library with `--no-as-needed`.
