Make std::hash<basic_json> consistent with operator== for numbers (#5772)
* Make std::hash<basic_json> consistent with operator== for numbers operator== converts between number_integer, number_unsigned, and number_float before comparing, so json(0), json(0U), and json(0.0) all compare equal. hash() folded the specific value_t into the result for each of the three numeric cases, giving each a distinct hash and breaking the standard Hash requirement that a == b implies hash(a) == hash(b). A std::unordered_set could therefore hold all three as separate elements even though they compare equal. hash() now treats all three numeric variants the same way: it converts the value to number_float_t and combines it with a single shared type tag, so any two numbers operator== considers equal hash identically regardless of which internal type actually holds them. Updated the accompanying test to check this consistency directly (including via an actual unordered_set) instead of asserting that 0, 0U, and 0.0 hash differently, since that assumption was the bug. Also corrected the function's own doc comment and the std::hash API docs, which described the old behavior as intended.

Signed-off-by: Afonso Januário <afonso-januario@hotmail.com> Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Normalize -0.0 in number hashes and test range ends operator== compares numbers exactly since #5459, so equal numbers share one value and convert to the same number_float_t. Update the comment accordingly, map -0.0 to 0.0 before hashing (std::hash need not do that), and test -0.0 and the ends of the integer ranges. Show hash(0.0) in the docs example and note the change in the version history. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me> * Clarify hash documentation after review - Say "may hash differently" for null, false, and numbers, since a collision across types is possible. - Name the storage types (signed integer, unsigned integer, floating-point number) instead of example literals. - Explain that the hash survives converting an integer to number_float_t but not the lossy conversion back, and that unequal numbers may share a hash. - State that the example hash values are illustrative only and vary by platform, compiler, compiler version, and library version.

Return a hash value for a JSON object. The hash function tries to rely on `std::hash` where possible. Furthermore, the

`#!cpp false`, etc.
|
||||
type of the JSON value is taken into account, so `#!json null`, `#!cpp false`, and numbers may hash differently from
|
||||
each other. Numbers that compare equal under [`operator==`](operator_eq.md) always hash equally, regardless of
|
||||
whether they are stored as signed integer, unsigned integer, or floating-point number.
|
||||
|
||||
Numbers are hashed by their value converted to `number_float_t`. Converting an integer to `number_float_t` therefore
|
||||
keeps its hash, but converting a floating-point number to an integer type is lossy and can change it: `#!cpp 0.5`
|
||||
converts to `#!cpp 0`, which need not have the same hash. Unequal numbers can also share a hash value, for example two
|
||||
large integers that convert to the same `number_float_t`.
