NAME
mongoc_errors - Error Reporting « index
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_one 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. In Version 2, error codes originating on the server always have error
domain MONGOC_ERROR_SERVER or MONGOC_ERROR_WRITE_CONCERN. When the driver uses Version 2 the application
can always determine the origin and meaning of error codes. New applications should use Version 2, and
existing applications should be updated to use Version 2 as well.
