This is a very basic MongoDB c driver. This is an alpha release.
Please post tickets and improvements to JIRA.
The goal is to be super strict for ultimate portability, no dependencies, and very embeddable anywhere.
You will need JSON-C (http://oss.metaparadigm.com/json-c/) to compile the unit tests, but it is not required for the main libraries.
scons # this will produce libbson.a and libmongoc.a
scons --c99 # this will use c99 mode in gcc (recommended)
gcc --std=c99 -Isrc src/*.c YOUR_APP.c # No -Ddefines are needed in c99 mode on little endien
Make sure that you're running mongod on localhost on the default port (27017). Then run: scons test
You may optionally specify a remote server: scons test --test-server=123.4.5.67
TODO
#define options (you must use the same flags to compile all apps and libs): MONGO_BIG_ENDIAN This must be defined if on a big endian architecture
one of these (defaults to unsigned char if neither is defined) MONGO_HAVE_BOOL Define this if your compiler has a plain 'bool' type MONGO_HAVE_STDBOOL Define this if you must include <stdbool.h> to get 'bool'
one of these (required if not using c99): MONGO_HAVE_STDINT Define this if you have <stdint.h> for int64_t MONGO_HAVE_UNISTD Define this if you have <unistd.h> for int64_t MONGO_USE__INT64 Define this if '__int64' is your compiler's 64bit type (MSVC) MONGO_USE_LONG_LONG_INT Define this if 'long long int' is your compiler's 64bit type
I'm using an exception system based on cexcept. If you would like to gracefully handle errors, take a look at src/mongo_except.h. It is currently only used for network failures, but more errors will be used in the future.
TODO: building on windows more documentation checking for $err in query results query helper for sort and hint explain and profiler helpers GridFS safe-mode modifications (maybe) cached ensure_index (maybe)
