我可以在 Windows 上使用 AMQP-CPP 而不用 C++ 实现网络层吗？

Question

I am trying to use AMQP-CPP library for RabbitMQ communication with and reading their readme is not that straightforward how to dodge implementing network layer on Windows.

As we mentioned above, the library can be used in a network-agnostic fashion. It then does not do any IO by itself, and you need to pass an object to the library that the library can use for IO. So, before you start using the library, you first need to create a class that extends from the ConnectionHandler base class. This is a class with a number of methods that are called by the library every time it wants to send out data, or when it needs to inform you that an error occurred.

#include <amqpcpp.h>

class MyConnectionHandler : public AMQP::ConnectionHandler
{
    /**
     *  Method that is called by the AMQP library every time it has data
     *  available that should be sent to RabbitMQ.
     *  @param  connection  pointer to the main connection object
     *  @param  data        memory buffer with the data that should be sent to RabbitMQ
     *  @param  size        size of the buffer
     */
    virtual void onData(AMQP::Connection *connection, const char *data, size_t size)
    {
        // @todo
        //  Add your own implementation, for example by doing a call to the
        //  send() system call. But be aware that the send() call may not
        //  send all data at once, so you also need to take care of buffering
        //  the bytes that could not immediately be sent, and try to send
        //  them again when the socket becomes writable again
    }

    /**
     *  Method that is called by the AMQP library when the login attempt
     *  succeeded. After this method has been called, the connection is ready
     *  to use.
     *  @param  connection      The connection that can now be used
     */
    virtual void onReady(AMQP::Connection *connection)
    {
        // @todo
        //  add your own implementation, for example by creating a channel
        //  instance, and start publishing or consuming
    }

    /**
     *  Method that is called by the AMQP library when a fatal error occurs
     *  on the connection, for example because data received from RabbitMQ
     *  could not be recognized.
     *  @param  connection      The connection on which the error occurred
     *  @param  message         A human readable error message
     */
    virtual void onError(AMQP::Connection *connection, const char *message)
    {
        // @todo
        //  add your own implementation, for example by reporting the error
        //  to the user of your program, log the error, and destruct the
        //  connection object because it is no longer in a usable state
    }

    /**
     *  Method that is called when the connection was closed. This is the
     *  counter part of a call to Connection::close() and it confirms that the
     *  AMQP connection was correctly closed.
     *
     *  @param  connection      The connection that was closed and that is now unusable
     */
    virtual void onClosed(AMQP::Connection *connection) 
    {
        // @todo
        //  add your own implementation, for example by closing down the
        //  underlying TCP connection too
    }
};

After you've implemented the ConnectionHandler class (which is entirely up to you), you can start using the library by creating a Connection object, and one or more Channel objects:

// create an instance of your own connection handler
MyConnectionHandler myHandler;

// create a AMQP connection object
AMQP::Connection connection(&myHandler, AMQP::Login("guest","guest"), "/");

// and create a channel
AMQP::Channel channel(&connection);

// use the channel object to call the AMQP method you like
channel.declareExchange("my-exchange", AMQP::fanout);
channel.declareQueue("my-queue");
channel.bindQueue("my-exchange", "my-queue", "my-routing-key");

This is all from their readme.

Can someone please tell me is there a way to subscribe to RabbitMQ and use channel without implementing IO on Windows?
I know they have implemented for linux, but can't find any working example for Windows.

You should be able to use libuv on Windows, and thus this handler:
