💖 BSON_THREADING(3) 💖

okay so bestie, this is the BSON_THREADING(3) page from libbson, and the vibe check is important 🫶. Libbson's data structures are NOT thread-safe — like, at all, no cap 😭. You are responsible for accessing and mutating these structures from one thread at a time. That's the whole rule, fr fr. Don't be out here sharing a structure across threads and expecting it to slay; it will not. 💅

Libbson requires POSIX threads (pthreads) on all UNIX-like platforms. On Windows, the native threading interface is used. Libbson uses your system's threading library to safely generate unique ObjectIds, and to provide a fallback implementation for atomic operations on platforms without built-in atomics. ✨ It's giving "we handle the thread-safe bits so your ObjectIds stay unique and your atomics have a backup plan." 🦋
