Niels Lohmann 74aefc3486 Move custom object key tests out of unit-cbor.cpp and unit-msgpack.cpp (#5798)
The custom object key tests from #5328 instantiate a second basic_json
specialization in unit-cbor.cpp and unit-msgpack.cpp. This pushed
unit-msgpack.cpp.obj past 65535 sections in the clang (MinGW) jobs of
the Windows workflow, and linking test-msgpack_cpp11 fails with
"relocation truncated to fit: IMAGE_REL_AMD64_REL32 against `.rdata'".

The GNU linker keeps the section an associative COMDAT section belongs
to in 16 bits (x_associated in include/coff/internal.h), although big
object files store 32 bits. In larger objects it therefore ties the
jump tables of inline functions to the wrong function and discards them
together with that function's duplicate.

Move the four tests unchanged into unit-custom-object-key-type.cpp and
document the limit in windows.yml.

Niels Lohmann 61e3d97bfd Keep the first of duplicate keys in the object hash index again
Lookups in objects with 128 members or more return the first member of a
repeated key again, like the linear search of smaller objects. This undoes
the code change of a69542046; its test now expects the first member from
lookups (with and without a table) and the last value from materialize()
and basic_json::parse().

Niels Lohmann 13d2b3e224 Return the first member of duplicate keys from lookups again
Looking up the last member of a duplicate key cannot stop at a match, so
every lookup scanned the whole object (1.6 to 3.4 times slower for small
objects). operator[](key), at, find, value, contains, count, and JSON
pointer resolution return the first member again, as yyjson and simdjson
do; materialize() and get<map>() keep the last value, as parse().

The documentation says so in the feature page and on each lookup page,
and explains how to get the value parse() would give. The integer index
templates and the discarded chaining of operator[] stay.

Niels Lohmann 2913e96433 Unflatten in time and memory linear in the pointer depth (#5793)
* Unflatten in time and memory linear in the pointer depth

#5443 made unflatten() decide between arrays and objects independently
of the iteration order by collecting the pointer prefixes that have a
reference token 0 below them in a std::set<std::vector<string_t>>.
Every such prefix was stored as a copy of all its reference tokens, and
get_and_create() compared whole prefix vectors at every step, so
unflattening a pointer of depth d took time and memory quadratic in d:
a 10,000-level array pointer took 18 s and 1.3 GB, a 100,000-level one
did not finish.

The prefixes are now numbered nodes of a tree, so each is stored once
and get_and_create() follows the tree token by token. The result is
unchanged, including its independence of the iteration order.

Niels Lohmann a69542046c Keep the last of duplicate keys in the object hash index
Lookups in objects with 128 members or more now return the last member of
a repeated key, like the linear search of smaller objects and like
materialize() and basic_json::parse(). build_object_index let the first
occurrence win, so the same text gave different results depending on the

Niels Lohmann 44e8597701 Flatten deeply nested values without recursing per nesting level (#5792)
* Flatten deeply nested values without recursing per nesting level

json_pointer::flatten() called itself once per nesting level, so
flatten() on a value nested deeply enough exhausted the call stack.
#5547 and #5548 fixed merge_patch() and diff() from #5393, but flatten()
was left out.

flatten() now walks the value with an explicit stack and keeps the path
in one buffer that grows and shrinks with it. It has a single code path
and no depth limit: the old version built a new path string per child,
so the iterative one is no slower on shallow values and much faster on
deep ones. The output, including the order of an ordered_json result,
is unchanged.

Niels Lohmann 374dfe4f0f Keep converted object keys alive while writing UBJSON and BJData (#5791)
* Keep converted object keys alive while writing UBJSON and BJData

Since #5746, write_ubjson and write_ubjson_iterative pass each object key
to sanitize_utf8_for_write and keep the returned reference. When
object_t::key_type is not string_t but converts to it, the argument is a
temporary that is destroyed at the end of the statement, and the
function returns a reference to it in every case but a sanitized copy,
so the key bytes are read from a dead object (AddressSanitizer:
stack-use-after-scope). Default json and ordered_json are unaffected.

Bind the key to a named object_key_string_t first: a reference when
key_type is string_t, so no copy is added there, and a converted copy
otherwise. A deleted overload of sanitize_utf8_for_write for anything
other than string_t turns a recurrence into a compile error.
