Niels Lohmann 900bec8e0d Read BSON documents without recursing per nesting level
An embedded document (record type 0x03) or array (0x04) was read by calling
back into the document reader, which read its element list, which called the
element reader again for the next embedded one. The native call stack
therefore grew with the nesting depth of the input, and about seven bytes buy
a level, so a document of a few hundred kilobytes crashes the process
(#5104). This is the last of the four binary formats to still do that.

Apply the same shape as the other three: open_bson_document() reads the size
prefix and opens the document, parse_bson_element_internal() calls it for both
record types instead of recursing, and parse_bson_internal() loops over the
element list of whichever document is innermost, closing it when its
terminator is reached and resuming the one below.

check_bson_document_size() is unchanged, and so is when it runs: a document is
still measured from the byte before its size prefix to the byte after its
terminator, and still reported before the end event. The frame carries those
two values, which is what a per-document check needs once the reads are
interleaved rather than nested. Nothing else about the element reader changes.

unit-bson passes unchanged. Round trips through to_bson of nested objects,
arrays, arrays of objects and mixed nesting are identical to the previous
commit, as are the errors for a truncated document, an unsupported record
type, a negative size and a size that does not match, including their byte
offsets. A 30,000-level document built by to_bson is now read to completion
where it used to crash.

Note for sequencing: #5185 changes parse_bson_internal(), the element list and
the array reader, which are the functions this commit restructures. It should
land first; this commit then keeps its checks and moves them onto the loop.

Niels Lohmann 23f07ad8b7 Read UBJSON and BJData containers without recursing per nesting level
get_ubjson_array() and get_ubjson_object() read their elements by calling
back into the value reader, which called them again for a nested container,
so the native call stack grew with the nesting depth of the input. '[' alone
opens a container, so half a million of them crashes the process before the
input runs out (#5104). The optimized forms reach the same path through a
size or type annotation, and in plain UBJSON '[' and '{' are permitted as the
type of an optimized container, so "[$[#i\x01" repeated nests just as deeply
at six bytes a level.

Both readers now only open their container, and parse_ubjson_internal() loops:
it closes the containers that have ended, claims the next element of the
innermost one, reads its key when it is an object, and works out the marker
of the value to read next. That last part is where the formats differ, and
the loop follows what the four element loops used to do:

  - a sized, typed container gives its elements no marker of their own
  - a sized, untyped container reads one for each element
  - a container that ends at a marker has the byte already, from the test
    against ']' or '}'; for an object it is the first byte of the key

The ND-array wrapper and the 'B' binary shortcut stay as they are. Both read
a complete value rather than opening a container, and their elements are
always scalars: BJData does not permit '[' or '{' as an optimized type, which
is also why only plain UBJSON needed the type-marker case above.

A container of no-ops keeps its behaviour of holding no elements while still
announcing its declared size to the SAX parser, by opening it and then
setting its count to zero.

unit-ubjson and unit-bjdata pass unchanged, 1.39 million assertions between
them, and a behaviour comparison against the previous commit over every
container form -- sized, unsized, typed, untyped, empty, no-op, ND-array,
binary, and the forms nested inside one another -- gives identical values,
error codes, messages and byte offsets. 500,000 levels of each vector now
report a parse error instead of crashing, and a well-formed 100,000-level
value is read to completion.

The driver costs about 3 % on parsing 60,000 small objects and one array of a
million integers, for the reason given in the previous commit; reading the
frame once per element rather than per branch halved what it cost before.

Niels Lohmann 48bbe7ceaf Read CBOR containers and tags without recursing per nesting level
get_cbor_array() and get_cbor_object() read their elements by calling back
into the value reader, which called them again for a nested container, and a
tag was handled by reading the tagged value the same way. All three cost
native stack, and all three cost a single byte to encode: 0x9F opens an
indefinite-length array, 0x81 a one-element array, and 0xC2 is a tag. Half a
million of any of them crashes the process before the input runs out (#5104).

Apply the shape the MessagePack reader already uses: the open containers live
on the heap stack, parse_cbor_value() reads a single value and only opens a
container rather than reading it to its end, and parse_cbor_internal() loops,
resuming the innermost container after each element.

Two things are specific to CBOR. An indefinite-length container ends at a
break marker rather than at a count, and testing for that marker consumes a
byte which is the first byte of the next element when it is not one; the
frame's count is npos for those, and the driver tracks whether the next value
starts at a fresh byte. And a tag is not a value of its own: instead of
reading the tagged value by recursing, the value reader reports that a tag was
read and the driver reads on, so a chain of tags costs no stack at all.

The switch that decodes a value is unchanged apart from the twelve container
cases and the two tag sites. Verified against the previous commit over
definite and indefinite arrays and maps, all four counted forms, empty
containers, nesting of the forms inside each other, truncated inputs, and all
three tag handlers: identical values, error codes, messages and byte offsets.
500,000 levels of each of the three vectors now report parse_error.110 instead
of crashing, and a well-formed 200,000-level value is read to completion.

On performance: the driver does per element what a counted loop used to do
per container, and CBOR pays for it more than MessagePack because the value
reader also has to be told whether to fetch a byte. Parsing 60,000 small
objects and one array of a million integers is 3 to 4 % slower than the
recursive reader, measured over five alternating runs. Against develop the
same two inputs are about 44 % faster, because the entry point no longer
copies the value it parsed; the earlier commit in this series is what pays
for that.

Niels Lohmann 973972bb5e Read MessagePack containers without recursing per nesting level
get_msgpack_array() and get_msgpack_object() read their elements by calling
back into parse_msgpack_internal(), which calls them again for a nested
container. The native call stack therefore grew with the nesting depth of the
input, and each level costs only one byte to encode: 0x91 is a one-element
array, so a few hundred thousand of them crash the process before any of the
input is rejected (#5104).

Keep the open containers on a heap stack instead, the way
parser::sax_parse_internal() has always done for JSON text. A frame records
how many elements are left and whether to close with end_object() or
end_array(); parse_msgpack_value() reads a single value and, for a container,
only opens it; and parse_msgpack_internal() loops, resuming the innermost
container after each element and closing it when its count runs out. Whether
the value that was begun is complete is answered by the stack being empty, so
no separate bookkeeping is needed.

The switch that decodes a value is untouched apart from the six container
cases, which now call enter_container() rather than a reader that loops. That
keeps this diff to the control flow and leaves the decoding of every other
type byte-identical.

enter_container() is the only place a binary reader emits start_object() or
start_array(), so a check that rejects a container can be added there once and
is guaranteed to run before the start event. The frame type and the stack are
shared, ready for the other three formats.

Verified against develop over empty, nested, counted (array 16/32, map 16/32)
and truncated inputs: identical values, error codes, messages and byte
offsets. 300,000 levels now report parse_error.110 instead of crashing, and a
well-formed 300,000-level value is read to completion through the SAX
interface, where develop crashes.

Reading such a value into a basic_json needs the return-by-move change as
well, without which the recursive copy constructor overflows on the way out;
that is the parent commit, and the test for the value path covers the two
together. Timing is unchanged: parsing 60,000 small objects and one array of
a million integers is within run-to-run noise of develop either way.

Niels Lohmann d91dff77e6 Split unit-regression2.cpp so the MinGW linker can relocate it
Linking test-regression2 with clang and MinGW fails with

    relocation truncated to fit: IMAGE_REL_AMD64_REL32 against `.rdata'

once the translation unit grows past a certain size: the code can no longer
reach the read-only data it references within the range of a 32-bit
relocation. The file is one of the largest in the test suite and had been
sitting just under that limit, so an unrelated change elsewhere in the
library is enough to tip it over. It is already the second such file --
unit-regression1.cpp was split for size before -- and windows.yml already
carries a workaround for the same limit hitting the debug sections of this
same target, where -g0 was enough because that relocation was against
`.debug_line'. This one is against `.rdata', which no compiler flag avoids.

Move the second half of the regression tests, and the helper types only they
use, into unit-regression3.cpp. The sections are independent -- every
statement in "regression tests 2" was already inside a SECTION -- so they
move unchanged, and the counts confirm nothing was lost: 168 assertions
before the split, 50 plus 118 after.

The result is that both files are comfortably smaller than the one that used
to link, measured with clang at -O1 for C++20:

                        read-only data        text     object
    before                      58,233   1,287,764  3,158,120
    unit-regression2.cpp        48,161   1,012,988  2,522,296
    unit-regression3.cpp        41,710     772,704  1,878,880

No CMake change is needed: tests/CMakeLists.txt globs src/unit-*.cpp, so the
new file is picked up and built for every standard like its siblings.

CONTRIBUTING.md pointed contributors at unit-regression2.cpp for new bug
tests; it now points at the smaller file and says why the two exist, so the
split does not quietly undo itself.

Niels Lohmann e27d1192e0 Bound UBJSON optimized arrays of a valueless type
An element of type 'Z' (null), 'T' (true) or 'F' (false) is encoded by its
type marker alone, so an optimized UBJSON array of one of those has no
payload: reading an element consumes no input at all. Its declared count is
therefore the only thing that decides how much is allocated, and nothing
bounded it. "[$Z#l" and a four-byte count is nine bytes of input describing
two billion values; #2793 reports 35 GB and 150 seconds from ten bytes, and
OSS-Fuzz has an out-of-memory and a timeout report for the same shape.

Every other type costs at least one byte per element, so the end of the input
bounds it. 'N' (no-op) is already skipped rather than stored. Objects are not
affected either: each element is preceded by its key, which costs bytes. And
BJData already refuses these markers as an optimized type, so this is a plain
UBJSON matter.

Reject a count above 1,048,576 elements for those three types with
out_of_range.408, the code this reader already uses for a declared size it
will not honour. The check runs before the SAX start event, so no container
is opened and then abandoned.

Rejecting on the read side alone would break the guarantee that anything
to_ubjson() writes can be read back, and would trip the round-trip assertion
in fuzzer-parse_ubjson.cpp. So the writer falls back to the unoptimized
encoding, one byte per element, for arrays of these types above the same
limit. Its decision depends only on the array's size, which is identical for
a value and for anything parsed back from it, so the round trip is stable.

No existing test changes: the largest such count in the test suite is 65,793.
The excessive-size test that already used this shape still passes, now
rejected a little earlier than by the max_size() check it used to reach.

Niels Lohmann 47643785a6 Reject a nested BJData ndarray dimension vector where it is read
get_ubjson_size_type() takes an inside_ndarray parameter saying whether it is
being called for an ndarray's dimension vector, where another ndarray is not
allowed. It then seeded the flag it passes down to get_ubjson_size_value()
with `false` rather than with that parameter, and only consulted
inside_ndarray afterwards, on the '$' branch.

So on the '#' branch nothing stopped the descent: every "#[" pair of an input
like "[" followed by "#[#[#[..." opened another dimension vector, several
native stack frames deeper each time, and the recursion was only reported on
the way back out. 100,000 pairs crash the process. This is #5104 again, in a
path that has nothing to do with containers.

Seed the flag with inside_ndarray, which is what get_ubjson_size_value()
documents it wants: "for input, `true` means already inside an ndarray vector
or ndarray dimension is not allowed". The nested '[' is then refused where it
is read, so the length of the chain no longer matters.

Both post-checks gain `&& !inside_ndarray`, because an ndarray was found
*here* only if the flag flipped -- get_ubjson_size_value() only ever returns
`true` when its initial value was `false`, as its documentation says. With
that, the "ndarray can not be recursive" branch is unreachable: a recursive
ndarray is now caught one level earlier, and reported as "ndarray dimensional
vector is not allowed" like every other nested dimension vector.

Three existing expectations move accordingly (vR2, vR4, vR6). All three now
fail earlier, and all three now report the same error that vR1, vR5 and vH
already reported for the same shape, which is the more consistent outcome.
Everything else is unchanged: valid 1D and 2D ndarrays, optimized containers
and plain arrays produce identical results, and unit-ubjson is untouched.

Niels Lohmann d61ef62fc7 Stop CBOR indefinite-length strings from recursing per chunk
get_cbor_string() and get_cbor_binary() handled the indefinite-length forms
(0x7F and 0x5F) by calling themselves once per chunk. Each chunk therefore
cost a native stack frame, and since a chunk may itself be an indefinite-
length string, an input of repeated 0x7F bytes reached one frame per input
byte: 200,000 of them crash the process with SIGSEGV before a single byte is
rejected. This is the same defect as #5104, in a path the container-level
work does not touch.

Count the open levels instead of recursing through them. That is enough here
because every chunk is appended to the same result -- get_bytes() writes at
result.size() -- so there is no per-level state to keep. The temporary chunk
string and its copy into the result go away with the recursion.

The definite-length cases move to get_cbor_string_chunk() and
get_cbor_binary_chunk() unchanged, including their error messages, which
still name 0x7F and 0x5F because those are handled one level up.

Behaviour is unchanged. Comparing against develop over the interesting byte
sequences -- empty, single-chunk, nested, over-closed and truncated forms,
both strings and byte arrays, and an indefinite-length map key -- produces
identical values, error codes, messages and byte offsets. The 200,000-level
input now reports parse_error.110 at byte 200001 instead of crashing.

Note that nesting these is not valid CBOR: RFC 8949, Section 3.2.3 forbids
it. This does not change that either way -- it has always been accepted, and
rejecting it is a separate decision (#5317, #5325). Should it be rejected
later, that is now one condition on the level counter rather than a change to
the control flow.

Niels Lohmann 79f990dd04 Return the parsed value by move from from_cbor() and friends
The binary entry points end with

    return res ? result : basic_json(value_t::discarded);

The condition operator's second operand is an lvalue, so this is not a case
where the return value can be elided or implicitly moved from: every
successful from_cbor(), from_msgpack(), from_ubjson(), from_bjdata() and
from_bson() call deep-copies the value it just parsed, and then destroys the
original.

The copy is not cheap, and it is not incidental: basic_json's copy
constructor walks the whole value. Parsing a 2 MB CBOR document with 60,000
objects, median of 25 runs, clang 17 -O3:

    from_cbor      26.99 ms  ->  14.65 ms
    from_msgpack   26.82 ms  ->  14.82 ms

Moving instead of copying is the entire change; the parsed value is not used
again after the return expression is evaluated.

There is a second reason to prefer the move. The copy constructor recurses
once per nesting level, so the copy is also a stack-overflow path on the
return side, on a value the reader has already accepted. That is currently
masked because the readers themselves recurse and overflow first (#5104), but
it has to be fixed for making them iterative to have any effect.

Niels Lohmann b17c272f46 Reserve capacity in from_json() object conversion when the target container supports it (#5472)
* Reserve capacity in from_json() object conversion when supported

The object-to-container from_json() overload filled the target
container one element at a time without reserving capacity, even
when the target type supports reserve() (e.g. std::unordered_map)
and the number of elements is already known. This caused unnecessary
rehashing while parsing large objects into such containers.

Add a reserve-detecting overload (from_json_object_impl), mirroring
the priority_tag-based SFINAE technique already used by the array
conversion path (from_json_array_impl), so that reserve(size()) is
called up front when available and the loop falls back unchanged
otherwise (e.g. for std::map).

* Extract C++17-only content from unit-items.cpp into its own test file

unit-items.cpp is a 1433-line file that was being compiled twice per
CI configuration (once for C++11, once for C++17) purely because it
contained a single, small JSON_HAS_CPP_17-gated SECTION ("structured
bindings", 14 lines). Move that SECTION into a new, dedicated file
(tests/src/unit-items-cpp17.cpp) so only that tiny file needs a
second build; unit-items.cpp itself now builds/tests only once. No
tests/CMakeLists.txt changes are needed since the existing
file(GLOB ... src/unit-*.cpp) plus json_test_add_test_for() already
auto-register and standard-gate any new unit-*.cpp file based on
whether it textually contains JSON_HAS_CPP_<N> (the same mechanism
already used for the existing unit-iterators3.cpp file, which follows
the identical pattern).

Verified with plain clang++ under -std=c++11/14/17/20 and via a local
CMake configure+build that:
- unit-items.cpp now only produces a test-items_cpp11 target (the
  former test-items_cpp17 target is gone) and its assertion/test-case
  counts are unchanged (2 test cases / 222 assertions) for every
  standard.
- The new unit-items-cpp17.cpp produces test-items-cpp17_cpp11 (an
  intentionally empty translation unit under C++11 that reports 0
  tests, 0 assertions, SUCCESS) and test-items-cpp17_cpp17 (1 test
  case / 1 assertion, identical to what "structured bindings" ran
  as before it was moved).

Separately, unit-regression1.cpp (1530 lines) was also being built
twice per CI configuration because it contained the substring
JSON_HAS_CPP_17 -- but on inspection this was dead code: an orphaned
"#ifdef JSON_HAS_CPP_17 / #include <variant> / #endif" left over from
when the actual std::variant-based regression test (issue #1292) was
relocated to unit-regression2.cpp. Nothing in unit-regression1.cpp
uses <variant>, so there is no SECTION/TEST_CASE to preserve here;
the dead include is simply removed. This was verified by grepping the
file for any other use of "variant" (none) and confirming issue #1292
is still covered by unit-regression2.cpp. Compiled and ran under
-std=c++11/14/17/20 and via CMake: unit-regression1.cpp now only
produces a test-regression1_cpp11 target (test-regression1_cpp17 is
gone) with an unchanged test-case count (3) under every standard.

could silently regress the documented behavior.

* Fix 32-bit overflow in huge_string_t BSON length-overflow tests

huge_string_t doubles as basic_json's StringType, so it is used not only
for the JSON string value under test but also for object keys (e.g. "s",
"nested"). Making size() unconditionally lie about being huge therefore
inflated the keys' reported sizes as well, pushing the running totals
computed while walking the BSON document (calc_bson_object_size and
friends in binary_writer.hpp) past what a 32-bit std::size_t can hold.

On 64-bit platforms this happens to still produce a working (if
needlessly large) result, but on 32-bit platforms (e.g. the mingw x86 CI
job) the size_t arithmetic silently wraps around: for the "document" test
this merely surfaces the wrong number in the exception message, but for
the "string" test the wrapped total happens to fall back under
INT32_MAX, so the intended out_of_range.412 guard is skipped entirely and
the code goes on to actually write ~2 GiB worth of characters from the
key's real, tiny buffer - which is what raised the reported
"vector::_M_range_insert" exception instead of a controlled 412.

Make the fake-huge size opt-in via huge_string_t::as_huge() and only
apply it to the string value under test, leaving keys at their real
(small) size. This keeps every intermediate size well within 32-bit
size_t range on any platform, matching how huge_binary_t already avoids
the same trap (it is only ever used as the BSON value type, never as a
key). Expected out_of_range.412 messages are updated accordingly.

Add JSON_HEDLEY_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT to the unambiguous, const,
side-effect-free observer functions whose return value is the entire
purpose of the call:

- dump()
- type(), type_name()
- all is_* predicates (is_primitive, is_structured, is_null,
  is_boolean, is_number, is_number_integer, is_number_unsigned,
  is_number_float, is_object, is_array, is_string, is_binary,
  is_discarded)
- empty(), size(), max_size()
- count(...) (both overloads) and contains(...) (all overloads,
  including the deprecated json_pointer<BasicJsonType> overload)

This mirrors the direction the standard library has taken with
[[nodiscard]] on the analogous std::vector/std::map members, and
catches real bugs such as `j.empty();` (meant `j.clear();`) or
`j.contains(k);` with the result thrown away.

Deliberately out of scope (left for a separate, later policy
decision, per the issue): at(), value(), get*(), flatten(),
unflatten(), patch(), merge_patch(), begin()/end(), comparison
operators, erase(), and emplace().

Compiling the full test suite (tests/src/unit-*.cpp) with
-Wunused-result -Werror uncovered one real hit: a regression test in
unit-regression2.cpp called dump() purely to check it does not throw,
discarding the result. Fixed by explicitly casting to void, since the
call is intentionally result-less there.

* Fix discarded nodiscard results across the test suite for GCC's warn_unused_result

A plain (void) cast on a call expression suppresses the C++17 [[nodiscard]]
warning but not GCC's warning for functions annotated via the GNU
__attribute__((warn_unused_result)) form -- which is what
JSON_HEDLEY_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT expands to on GCC. Several existing tests
that call a newly-annotated function (dump(), empty()) purely to check
that it throws/does not throw, discarding the result via (void), newly
warned (and failed -Werror builds) once the annotation was broadened.
Route those discards through a small ignore_return_value() helper
instead, which actually consumes the value and suppresses the warning
on both attribute forms.

from before this PR introduced utils::ignore_return_value(), instead of

this PR touches.

Niels Lohmann 8c38e270b5 Reject JSON Patch move when from is a proper prefix of path (#5497)
* Reject JSON Patch move when from is a proper prefix of path

RFC 6902 (section 4.4) forbids "from" from being a proper prefix of
"path" for a "move" operation: "a location cannot be moved into one
of its children." "move" is implemented as remove-then-add with no
check for this. For object targets, the subsequent "add" happened to
throw as a side effect of resolving through the now-removed parent,
but for array targets, removing the "from" element shifts subsequent
indices, so "path" silently re-resolves to a different element and
the operation "succeeds" with a silently corrupted document.

Add a check, before performing the remove/add, for whether "from" is
a proper prefix of "path" at the reference-token level. This compares
json_pointer's already-unescaped reference_tokens vectors (basic_json
is a friend of json_pointer) rather than the raw pointer strings, so
that tokens containing escaped '/' or '~' characters are compared
correctly, and a token that merely looks like a string prefix (e.g.
"/ab" vs "/abc/x") is not mistaken for a pointer-token prefix. When
"from" is a proper prefix of "path", throw out_of_range.414.

Fixes #5397.

issue-5396-patch-remove-primitive-parent), since both touch the same
patch_inplace move/remove handling in include/nlohmann/json.hpp.

The three-iterator std::equal(first1, last1, first2) form has no

preceding size comparison already guarantees the second range is long
enough. Rather than argue the point, make the bound visible in the code
itself via an explicit loop -- every access to ptr.reference_tokens is
now guarded by the same index the loop condition bounds against
from_size.

(The C++14 four-iterator std::equal(first1, last1, first2, last2) form
was tried first as a more minimal fix, but this codebase targets C++11
and that overload is not safely usable under -std=c++11 with all

Niels Lohmann d6660cf718 Route hand-rolled diagnostic pragmas through Hedley (#5485)
* Route hand-rolled diagnostic pragmas through Hedley

Several places in the library hand-roll compiler diagnostic suppression
with raw `#pragma`/`#ifdef __GNUC__`/`#ifdef __clang__` guards instead of
using the Hedley primitives already bundled and used elsewhere
(JSON_HEDLEY_DIAGNOSTIC_PUSH/POP, JSON_HEDLEY_PRAGMA, ...). Converted six
of the seven listed push/pop pairs to use those primitives instead of
raw `#pragma GCC diagnostic`/`#pragma clang diagnostic` text:

- include/nlohmann/json.hpp (~3770, ~3863): -Wfloat-equal
- include/nlohmann/detail/conversions/to_chars.hpp (~1078): -Wfloat-equal
- include/nlohmann/detail/output/binary_writer.hpp (~1844): -Wfloat-equal
- include/nlohmann/detail/iterators/iteration_proxy.hpp (~211): -Wmismatched-tags
- include/nlohmann/detail/exceptions.hpp (~36): -Wweak-vtables

iteration_proxy.hpp did not previously include macro_scope.hpp itself
(it only compiled because some other header included earlier in
json.hpp happened to pull macro_scope.hpp in first); it now includes it
directly like the other detail headers that use Hedley macros, so it is
self-contained.

Each push/pop pair now uses JSON_HEDLEY_DIAGNOSTIC_PUSH/POP
unconditionally (a no-op on compilers that don't need it) and wraps the
actual `#pragma ... diagnostic ignored` text in JSON_HEDLEY_PRAGMA so it
goes through Hedley's _Pragma()-based emission instead of a raw #pragma
line, while keeping the original `#ifdef __GNUC__` / `#if
defined(__clang__)` guard around the ignored-pragma itself.

Deviation from the issue's suggested transformation: the issue's example
replaces the `#ifdef __GNUC__` guard with `#if
JSON_HEDLEY_HAS_WARNING("-Wfloat-equal")`. JSON_HEDLEY_HAS_WARNING is
implemented purely via Clang's `__has_warning` builtin and evaluates to
0 on real GCC (`#define JSON_HEDLEY_HAS_WARNING(warning) (0)` when
`__has_warning` is not defined), so adopting it verbatim would silently
stop suppressing -Wfloat-equal on GCC -- a real regression, not just a
style change. The existing `#ifdef __GNUC__` / `#if defined(__clang__)`
guards were kept for the ignored-pragma to stay behavior-preserving, and
only the push/pop/pragma-emission mechanism was routed through Hedley.

Two of the seven locations from the issue (the -Wignored-attributes
push at the very top of json.hpp and its matching pop after
`#include <nlohmann/detail/macro_unscope.hpp>`) were intentionally left
unconverted:
- The push, at the very top of json.hpp, runs before
  `detail/macro_scope.hpp` (and therefore hedley.hpp) has been included
  anywhere in the translation unit, so JSON_HEDLEY_DIAGNOSTIC_PUSH is not
  yet defined at that point.
- The pop runs after `macro_unscope.hpp`, which -- via hedley_undef.hpp
  -- has already #undef'd every JSON_HEDLEY_* macro (by design, see
  #5408) precisely so they don't leak to users, so JSON_HEDLEY_DIAGNOSTIC_POP
  is no longer defined by the time the pop is reached either.
  Making this one pair work would require either hoisting the ~2000
  line vendored hedley.hpp to the very top of the amalgamated single
  header (a much bigger structural change to single_include than a pure
  mechanism swap) or special-casing this one pop ahead of the general
  macro cleanup. Both are riskier than the mechanical, behavior-preserving
  change requested, so this pair was left as-is.

## Validation

- Compiled include/nlohmann/json.hpp and single_include/nlohmann/json.hpp
  with `-Wall -Wextra -Wfloat-equal -Wmismatched-tags -Wweak-vtables`
  (clang, which self-identifies as __GNUC__ too): no warnings, same as
  before the change.
- Compiled and ran tests/src/unit-to_chars.cpp, unit-conversions.cpp,
  unit-iterators1.cpp, unit-iterators2.cpp, and unit-class_parser.cpp
  against the fixed include/: all pass.
- Compiled unit-msgpack.cpp, unit-bjdata.cpp, and unit-ubjson.cpp (which
  exercise binary_writer.hpp's write_compact_float extensively): all
  compile cleanly; the vast majority of assertions pass (the only
  failures are pre-existing environment issues unrelated to this change
  -- missing generated test-data files, not code correctness).
- Ran `make amalgamate`; the single_include diff is limited to exactly
  the lines touched in include/, with no unrelated reordering.
- No real (non-Apple) GCC was available in this environment to test
  directly; the `_Pragma("GCC diagnostic ...")` text emitted by
  JSON_HEDLEY_PRAGMA is byte-identical to the prior `#pragma GCC
  diagnostic ...` text, and the `#ifdef __GNUC__` guard is unchanged, so
  GCC's behavior is expected to be identical. CI covers the GCC matrix.

This PR is stacked on top of #5475 (issue-5408-hedley-undef-leak) since
both touch the same files; only the last commit here is new.

Fixes #5409.

were unconditional, so compilers other than the one the ignored-pragma
targets (e.g. MSVC, or GCC where the pair only applies under __clang__)
now did a needless push/pop with nothing suppressed in between. Move the
existing #ifdef __GNUC__ / #if defined(__clang__) guard to also cover the
push/pop, restoring the original zero-overhead behavior on other compilers
while still emitting the pragma itself through Hedley.

Niels Lohmann c05347dd54 Undefine the four JSON_HEDLEY_* macros that leak after including json.hpp (#5475)
* Undefine the four JSON_HEDLEY_* macros that leak after including json.hpp

include/nlohmann/detail/macro_unscope.hpp includes hedley_undef.hpp to
#undef every JSON_HEDLEY_* macro so none of them leak into the including
translation unit. Four macros were missing from that list and therefore
stayed defined after #include <nlohmann/json.hpp>:

- JSON_HEDLEY_PRAGMA
- JSON_HEDLEY_PREDICT_TRUE
- JSON_HEDLEY_PREDICT_FALSE
- JSON_HEDLEY_CLANG_HAS_DECLSPEC_ATTRIBUTE

hedley_undef.hpp is generated (via `make update_hedley`) by grepping
hedley.hpp for its own internal `#undef JSON_HEDLEY_X` redefinition
guards. JSON_HEDLEY_PRAGMA/PREDICT_TRUE/PREDICT_FALSE have no such guard
in upstream Hedley, so they were never picked up. The guard for
JSON_HEDLEY_CLANG_HAS_DECLSPEC_ATTRIBUTE also has an upstream typo
(`JSON_HEDLEY_CLANG_HAS_DECLSPEC_DECLSPEC_ATTRIBUTE`), so hedley_undef.hpp
was undefining the wrong (never-defined) name.

Fixes:
- include/nlohmann/thirdparty/hedley/hedley_undef.hpp: corrected the
  DECLSPEC_ATTRIBUTE typo and added the three missing #undef lines,
  keeping the file's alphabetical ordering.
- Makefile (update_hedley target): changed hedley_undef.hpp generation to
  extract macro names directly from every `#define JSON_HEDLEY_...` in
  hedley.hpp instead of from existing `#undef` guards, so a future
  `make update_hedley` run undefines every macro Hedley actually defines,
  even ones without a pre-existing redefinition guard. This was not run
  in this PR (it would also pull in an unrelated upstream Hedley sync);
  hedley_undef.hpp was hand-patched instead and single_include was
  regenerated with `make amalgamate`.
- tests/src/unit-no-macro-leak.cpp: new regression test (picked up
  automatically by tests/CMakeLists.txt's existing unit-*.cpp glob) that
  includes json.hpp and then #ifdef/#error-checks every JSON_HEDLEY_*
  macro name, so any future leak of any of the 151 vendored macros fails
  the build, not just the four fixed here.

* Derive the JSON_HEDLEY_* leak-check test from hedley.hpp at build time

tests/src/unit-no-macro-leak.cpp previously hardcoded a static list of
~151 #ifdef/#error checks, one per JSON_HEDLEY_* macro name known at the
time it was written. That list would silently go stale the next time
`make update_hedley` pulls in a vendor update that adds, removes, or
renames a macro, since nothing would force it to be regenerated.

Add cmake/scripts/gen_hedley_undef_check.cmake, which derives the full
list of JSON_HEDLEY_* macro names directly from
include/nlohmann/thirdparty/hedley/hedley.hpp:

- tests/CMakeLists.txt uses it (MODE=checks) to (re)generate
  hedley_undef_checks.inc at configure and build time, and wires the
  generating custom target as a dependency of the test-no-macro-leak_cpp*
  targets so it can never build against a stale copy. unit-no-macro-leak.cpp
  now just #include-s the generated file inside its TEST_CASE instead of
  carrying the checks itself.
- The Makefile's `update_hedley` target now delegates hedley_undef.hpp
  generation to the same script (MODE=undef, new `update_hedley_undef`
  target), so the vendored header, the generated #undef list, and the
  generated test checks are all derived from the same extraction logic and
  cannot drift apart.

This mirrors the approach taken independently in #5415 for the same
issue (#5408), credited there to a self-regenerating mechanism that
"can never drift again" -- ported into this branch instead of the
static list originally proposed here.

Verified with a local CMake configure + build + ctest, both against
include/ (JSON_MultipleHeaders=ON) and against the amalgamated
single_include/nlohmann/json.hpp (JSON_MultipleHeaders=OFF), and by
temporarily deleting a #undef line from hedley_undef.hpp to confirm the
generated test actually fails on a real leak.

is already covered by the blanket 'Files: *' rule in .reuse/dep5).

The reuse tool matched that embedded line as an SPDX tag for the
script itself and failed to parse the trailing 'MIT\n")' as a valid
SPDX License Expression, breaking ci_reuse_compliance. Wrap the
embedded banner in REUSE-IgnoreStart/REUSE-IgnoreEnd comments, as
recommended by the tool's own diagnostic output.

Niels Lohmann 6d86cc0f6b Speed up whitespace skipping in the lexer (#5490)
* Speed up whitespace skipping in the lexer

lexer::skip_whitespace() called get() for every whitespace byte, and
get() checks the (almost always false, once past the first character)
next_unget flag on every call. skip_whitespace() now reads its first
character with get() (needed to honor a pending unget() left over from
finishing the previous token, e.g. scan_number() always ungets the
character that terminated the number) and every further whitespace
character with a new get_ignoring_pending_unget() variant that skips
that branch, since nothing in the loop calls unget().

This is a narrower fix than the full contiguous-buffer bulk-skip
suggested in the issue (scan a run of whitespace directly in the
adapter's buffer and update position counters once per run). That
approach depends on bulk-scan adapter infrastructure
(supports_bulk_scan/bulk_data()/bulk_skip()) introduced by the open,
unmerged parser-performance PR #5283, which this change intentionally
does not depend on or replicate. Building new bulk-scan adapter
infrastructure from scratch was judged out of scope/riskier than
warranted here, so this change is limited to the safe, always-correct
improvement of removing redundant per-character bookkeeping from the
existing byte-at-a-time loop; full bulk-skipping is left as future
work once #5283 (or equivalent adapter support) lands.

Line/column/byte-offset bookkeeping is untouched and verified
bit-for-bit identical before and after this change, including for
pretty-printed (dump(4)) input with embedded newlines.

* Fix codegen regression in skip_whitespace() from #5490

Benchmarking found the get()/get_ignoring_pending_unget() split in
skip_whitespace() made long whitespace runs (e.g. indentation in
pretty-printed JSON) 1.75x-3.2x SLOWER instead of faster, reproducible
with both Apple Clang and GCC.

Root cause: rewriting the loop from a plain do-while into an initial
get() followed by a while-loop defeated the compiler's ability to keep
the input adapter's read/end pointers in registers across iterations;
both compilers instead reloaded them from memory on every character.
The function split itself was not the problem (it still fully
inlines); the loop's control-flow shape was.

The fix keeps the same two-function structure but restores a
do-while shape (guarded by an if for the "first char not whitespace"
case), which lets both compilers hoist the pointers back into
registers, matching or beating pre-#5490 performance.

* Skip integer conversion in accept()/SAX validation when the value is unused

lexer::scan_number() always converted every numeric token with
strtoull()/strtoll() before returning, even though accept() (and any
consumer using json_sax_acceptor) immediately discards the converted
value. For value_unsigned/value_integer tokens whose digit count
already guarantees the value fits into 64 bits, the conversion cannot
change the accept/reject decision (such tokens are always finite and
unconditionally accepted), so scan_number() can skip strtoull()/
strtoll() entirely in that case when the caller signals it does not
need the value. Numbers with more digits keep using the exact,
unmodified conversion path, so overflow reclassification to
value_float (and the finiteness check on it) is unaffected.

* Fix to_bjdata() emitting unparsable output when _ArraySize_ is not an array

write_bjdata_ndarray() never checked that _ArraySize_ is an array. The shape
is written verbatim as the header length, so a null shape emitted 'Z' and an
object shape emitted '{' after the '#', neither of which from_bjdata()
accepts, and the round-trip guarantee in the BJData docs was broken.

Both slipped through the existing validation: for null, empty() is true so
the element count starts at 0 and the per-dimension loop never runs, and for
an object the loop walks its values, which can satisfy the non-negative
integer check. When _ArrayData_ then matched that count, the writer took the
ndarray path.

Require the shape to be an array, so anything else falls back to a plain
object encoding that round-trips, as the fallback rule in the docs already
specifies.

* docs: add 41 customers and rebuild the overview image

The list was assembled by searching for names one at a time, which is why it
had plateaued. These additions come from enumerating instead: a public code
search returning every repository that references the library, and the reverse
build-dependencies of the Debian and Ubuntu source indices.

Every addition cites a first-party call site rather than a repository root,
and every evidence URL was checked to resolve. Several prominent candidates
were rejected on exactly that test:

  - Node.js reaches the library only through deps/icu-small, the inherited
    attribution ICU carries into everything that ships it.
  - Visual Studio Code's only hits are copies of the library's own headers
    used as sample C++ in the Copilot extension's test fixtures.
  - OSS-Fuzz fuzzes the library rather than calling it; projects/json/ is the
    library's own OSS-Fuzz integration.
  - libuv matched only its AUTHORS file, which lists a contributor by name.

Qatadaha Bin Matloob 137a40b9aa Compare integers with floats exactly instead of widening the integer (#5459)
The mixed number arms of JSON_IMPLEMENT_OPERATOR cast the integer to
number_float_t before comparing. Past the float's mantissa that cast is lossy:
2^63-2 and 2^63-1 both round to 2^63, so each compares equal to that float
while differing from each other. Equality is therefore intransitive and the
ordering is not a strict weak ordering, which makes std::sort over such values,
or using them as keys in std::set or std::map, undefined behavior.

Compare the two exactly instead. The integer's range is a power of two the
float represents exactly, so a float outside it is ordered by magnitude alone;
inside it, truncating the float is exact, and the integer parts and then any
fractional part decide. The helper hands back a pair whose comparison with the
original operator reproduces that ordering, which keeps every operator's return
type as it was, including partial_ordering for the spaceship.

A NaN operand is returned in both members, so NaN stays false for the
relational operators and unordered for <=>. Values a float represents exactly
still compare equal, so json(1) == json(1.0) is unchanged.

Niels LohmannandClaude 3fa93dac65 docs: document std::pair/std::tuple serializing as an object for string-keyed pairs (#5442)
A std::pair or std::tuple whose every element is itself a two-element array
with a string first element (e.g. std::pair<std::string, int>) serializes to
a JSON object instead of a JSON array, because to_json builds the value with a
brace initializer and the initializer-list object-detection rule fires. The
resulting object cannot be read back into the original type and collapses
duplicate keys. Document this quirk in the conversions guide, together with the
unaffected cases and the idiom to force an array.

Niels Lohmann 734fd305a1 Format-check the documentation examples in CI (#5386)
* Reformat parser_callback_t example with astyle

The file uses "json & /*parsed*/" in three lambda parameter lists, which
astyle rewrites to "json& /*parsed*/" per --align-reference=type. The
drift went unnoticed because CI never format-checked the documentation
examples; "make pretty" does cover them.

Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

* Format-check the documentation examples in CI

The examples live in docs/mkdocs/docs/examples, but both format checks
still referenced the long-gone docs/examples path:

- check_amalgamation.yml passed it to find, which printed an error for
  the missing path and carried on, so astyle only ever saw include and
  tests. The step still exited 0.
- ci.cmake globbed it into INDENT_FILES, and a GLOB_RECURSE over a
  missing directory silently yields nothing, so the ci_test_amalgamation
  target skipped the examples too.

Either way the 231 example files have never been format-checked. Point
both at the real path, and guard the workflow with an explicit directory
check so a future rename fails the job instead of quietly shrinking the
file list again.

Also drop the dead docs/examples/** path filter from
publish_documentation.yml; docs/mkdocs/** already covers the examples.

Sahil_Kamate b5378e8deb Fix CBOR tag handlers not recognizing tags 0-5 and 21-23 (#5331)
* Fix CBOR tag handlers not recognizing tags 0-5 and 21-23

The tagged-item switch in binary_reader::parse_cbor_internal() only handled
head bytes 0xC6-0xD4 and 0xD8-0xDB. Bytes 0xC0-0xC5 (tags 0-5: date/time,
epoch, bignum, decimal, bigfloat) and 0xD5-0xD7 (tags 21-23: base64url,
base64, base16 conversion hints) fell through to the default case and were
reported as invalid bytes, even under cbor_tag_handler_t::ignore and ::store,
despite being valid CBOR major-type-6 tags per RFC 8949.

Add the missing case labels so the full 0xC0-0xDB range is handled
uniformly. Extend the "Tagged values" test in unit-cbor.cpp to cover
0xC0-0xD7, and update the CBOR docs to state the corrected tag range.

Fixes #5315

Signed-off-by: sahilkamate03 <45514385+sahilkamate03@users.noreply.github.com>

* Fix stale CBOR tag docs and add store-mode binary-payload test

The "Incomplete mapping" warning still listed tags 0-5 (date/time,
bignum, decimal fraction, bigfloat) and 21-23 (expected conversions)
as unsupported, even though they now parse correctly under
cbor_tag_handler_t::ignore/store, same as 0xC6..0xD4/0xD8..0xDB.
Remove those five bullets and cross-reference the "Tagged items"
warning below, matching the equivalent docs fix landed independently
in PR #5367.

Also add a cbor_tag_handler_t::store test that wraps a binary
payload (not just a string) for every byte in 0xC0..0xD7, confirming
these tags are unwrapped the same way as 0xC6..0xD4 rather than
mistaken for the 0xD8..0xDB binary-subtype marker syntax, per review
feedback on #5331.

Dmitry 1c136a66c4 Move the CBOR doc block to the function it describes (#5363)
The block documenting get_char and tag_handler sat above
get_cbor_negative_integer(), which takes neither, so Doxygen attached it
there and parse_cbor_internal() was left undocumented.

Comment placement only.

Niels Lohmann bacdabd176 Fix start_pos() for strings containing escape sequences (#5361)
The diagnostic position of a string value was derived by subtracting the
parsed value's length from the end position. Escape sequences make the
source token longer than the value it parses to, so the reported start
position landed inside the string, one byte off per escape sequence:

    input: {"a":"\n\n\n\n\n\n"}
      start_pos() == 11, so the reported range covered  n\n\n\n"
      instead of the documented "\n\n\n\n\n\n"

This contradicts the documented behavior of start_pos(), which is the
position of the opening quote, and it also corrupted the "(bytes N-M)"
part of JSON_DIAGNOSTICS exception messages. Strings with multi-byte
UTF-8 but no escapes were unaffected, which is why this went unnoticed.

Record the offset of the token in the lexer when it starts scanning and
use that, instead of reconstructing it from the parsed value. Booleans,
null and numbers already reported correct positions and are unchanged.

The new lexer member and accessor are compiled only when
JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS is enabled, which is already part of the ABI
tag, so the default build is unaffected.
