      New to MongoDB, I have followed the official instructions (https://mongodb.github.io/mongo-cxx-driver/mongocxx-v3/installation/) to install MongoDB C driver then the last version of MongoDB C++ driver on Windows 10 Pro with MVS 15 2017 Win64.

      My first project (the offical example code) compiles. However, the output is corrupted. I have explained my issue here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mongodb-user/KxN5llw86Vc

      The code:

          #include <iostream>
         
          #include <bsoncxx/builder/stream/document.hpp>
          #include <bsoncxx/json.hpp>
         
          #include <mongocxx/client.hpp>
          #include <mongocxx/instance.hpp>
         
          int main(int, char**) {
              mongocxx::instance inst{};
              mongocxx::client conn{ mongocxx::uri{} };
         
              bsoncxx::builder::stream::document document{};
         
              auto collection = conn["testdb"]["testcollection"];
              document << "hello" << "world";
         
              collection.insert_one(document.view());
              auto cursor = collection.find({});
         
              for (auto&& doc : cursor) {
                  std::cout << bsoncxx::to_json(doc) << std::endl;
              }
          }
      

      The same issue appears with this code:

          #include <iostream>
         
          #include <bsoncxx/builder/basic/document.hpp>
          #include <bsoncxx/json.hpp>
         
          int main(int, char**) {
              bsoncxx::builder::basic::document doc{};
              doc.append(bsoncxx::builder::basic::kvp("test", 1));
              std::cout << bsoncxx::to_json(doc) << std::endl;
          }

      I have tried different MVS configurations with no success.
