💅 BSON_CONTEXT_NEW 💅

ok so this is a page from libbson, section 3 (library functions, bestie, not a command you type). it's all about making a shiny new bson_context_t — yes that's the whole personality of this page, and honestly? iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bson_context_t *
bson_context_new (bson_context_flags_t flags);

like, one function, one argument, zero drama 🎀

🌸 PARAMETERS 🌸

  • flags — a bson_context_flags_t. that's it, that's the vibe.

here are the flags you can actually use, fr fr:

  • BSON_CONTEXT_NONE — meaning creating ObjectIDs with this context is not a thread-safe operation 😭 (yes that's the default energy, be careful bestie)
  • BSON_CONTEXT_DISABLE_PID_CACHE — meaning creating ObjectIDs will also check if the process has changed by calling getpid() on every ObjectID generation. every single one. no caching, no shortcuts, we checkin' 🔥

and these ones? deprecated, zero effect, they're giving ghost of flags past 👻:

  • BSON_CONTEXT_DISABLE_HOST_CACHE
  • BSON_CONTEXT_THREAD_SAFE
  • BSON_CONTEXT_USE_TASK_ID
lowkey if you're out here passing the deprecated ones, they will simply not do anything. not a vibe check failure, just... nothing. 💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Creates a new bson_context_t. and here's the tea — this is rarely needed, because bson_context_get_default() serves most use-cases. so like, unless you have a real reason, the default one already ate and left no crumbs 👑

🌈 RETURNS 🌈

A newly allocated bson_context_t that should be freed with bson_context_destroy().

not me reminding you to free it — please don't leak, bestie, that's not main character energy 💅
