MONGOC_VERSION(3)

💅 MONGOC_VERSION(3) — conditional compilation based on mongoc version 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to this little libmongoc manual page 💖 the whole vibe is checking the mongoc version while you compile, and doing it cutely. This page is MONGOC_VERSION(3), and it’s giving preprocessor-macro realness ✨

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The following preprocessor macros can be used to perform various checks based on the version of the library you are compiling against. 💅 This may be useful if you only want to enable a feature on a certain version of the library. Version-gated behavior, but make it iconic. 🦋

#include <mongoc/mongoc.h>

#define MONGOC_MAJOR_VERSION (x)
#define MONGOC_MINOR_VERSION (y)
#define MONGOC_MICRO_VERSION (z)
#define MONGOC_VERSION_S     "x.y.z"
#define MONGOC_VERSION_HEX   ((1 << 24) | (0 << 16) | (0 << 8) | 0)
#define MONGOC_CHECK_VERSION(major, minor, micro)

Only compile a block on MongoDB C Driver 1.1.0 and newer. 🫶 This is the example, and yes it is exactly this:

#if MONGOC_CHECK_VERSION(1, 1, 0)
static void
do_something (void)
{
}
#endif
