ERROR_REPORTING(3) Library Functions Manual ERROR_REPORTING(3)

NAME

Error_Reporting - Many C Driver functions report errors by returning false or -1 and filling out a bson_error_t structure with an error domain, error code, and message. Use domain to determine which subsystem generated the error, and code for the specific error. message is a human-readable error description.

DESCRIPTION

Many C Driver functions report errors by returning false or ‐1 and filling out a bson_error_t structure with an error domain, error code, and message. Use domain to determine which subsystem generated the error, and code for the specific error. message is a human‐readable error description.

SETTING THE ERROR API VERSION

The driver's error reporting began with a design flaw: when the error domain is MONGOC_ERROR_COLLECTION , MONGOC_ERROR_QUERY , or MONGOC_ERROR_COMMAND , the error code might originate from the server or the driver. An application cannot always know where an error originated, and therefore cannot tell what the code means.

For example, if mongoc_collection_update sets the error's domain to MONGOC_ERROR_COLLECTION and its code to 24, the application cannot know whether 24 is the generic driver error code MONGOC_ERROR_COLLECTION_UPDATE_FAILED or the specific server error code "LockTimeout".

To fix this flaw while preserving backward compatibility, the C Driver 1.4 introduces "Error API Versions". Version 1, the default Error API Version, maintains the flawed behavior. Version 2 adds a new error domain, MONGOC_ERROR_SERVER MONGOC_ERROR_SERVER or MONGOC_ERROR_WRITE_CONCERN
