// async_consume.cpp
//
// This is a Paho MQTT C++ client, sample application.
//
// This application is an MQTT consumer/subscriber using the C++
// asynchronous client interface, employing the  to receive messages
// and status updates.
//
// The sample demonstrates:
//  - Connecting to an MQTT v3 server/broker.
//  - Subscribing to a topic
//  - Persistent subscriber session
//  - Receiving messages through the synchronous queuing API
//  - Auto reconnecting
//
