Niels Lohmann 42f89e3130 Let to_json(std::optional<T>) propagate exceptions from T's to_json (#5684)
* Let to_json(std::optional<T>) propagate exceptions from T's to_json

The overload was marked noexcept even though its body assigns *opt to
the JSON value, which calls T's to_json (or allocates for std::string,
std::vector, or json). Any exception from there -- a user-defined
to_json reporting an error, or std::bad_alloc -- called std::terminate()
instead of propagating. The noexcept also made basic_json's converting
constructor noexcept(true) for std::optional<T>, so json j = opt; could
not report the error either.

Fixes #5642.

* Fix CI: make to_json(std::optional<T>) conditionally noexcept

GCC's -Wnoexcept (an error in ci_test_gcc) fired at to_json_fn's
noexcept(noexcept(to_json(j, val))): after dropping the unconditional
noexcept, to_json(std::optional<int>) had no exception specification
although GCC could prove its body cannot throw. It also made
json(std::optional<int>) lose its noexcept.

Declare the overload noexcept exactly when assigning the contained
value to the JSON value is (std::is_nothrow_assignable<BasicJsonType&,
const T&>), which is what the body does. std::optional<int> is noexcept
again; a T whose to_json may throw still propagates the exception.
Static assertions in the test check both cases.

The test's throwing to_json triggered -Wmissing-prototypes and
-Wmissing-noreturn (clang) and -Wmissing-declarations and
-Wsuggest-attribute=noreturn (GCC). Move the type and its to_json into
an anonymous namespace, mark the function [[noreturn]], and compile
them only without JSON_NOEXCEPTION, like the test that uses them.

Niels Lohmann 2e91641de2 Test JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS for real, and fix one-element tuples under it (#5544)
* Test JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS for real, and fix one-element tuples under it

The opt-in JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS was never exercised by CI:

- Its only test, in unit-regression3.cpp, was guarded by
  `#if defined(JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS)` after the #include. The
  header #undefs the macro unconditionally in macro_unscope.hpp, so the
  guard was always false and the test compiled to nothing, whatever -D
  flag was passed.
- The ci_test_brace_init_copy_semantics target that passes the flag was
  not named by any workflow.

Move the test into its own translation unit that defines the macro before
including the header, as unit-diagnostics.cpp does for JSON_DIAGNOSTICS.
It now runs in every CI job and for every standard. Remove the unused
target: it ran the whole suite with the macro, and that suite deliberately
relies on default brace-init semantics in about 90 places
(e.g. `json({1})` meaning `[1]`), so it could never pass.

Running the whole suite with the macro did find one library bug:
to_json for std::tuple builds `j = { std::get<Idx>(t)... }`, so with copy
semantics a one-element tuple became its element. `json(std::tuple<int>{5})`
was `5` instead of `[5]`, and `get<std::tuple<int>>()` threw type_error.302
on the result. Under the macro, a one-element tuple now builds exactly what
the default deduction builds. Without the macro nothing changes.

The new tests also pin that the library's other conversions produce the
same values with and without the macro. The macro page now says that the
macro affects every single-element list (`json j = {1}` is `1`), and that
all translation units must agree on it, since it has no ABI tag.

* Make JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS part of the ABI tag

The macro changes the body of the initializer-list constructor and adds a
to_json_tuple_impl overload, both with the same mangled names in either
mode, so mixing translation units silently picked one definition. Encode
it in the inline namespace as `_bics`, as JSON_USE_LEGACY_DISCARDED_VALUE_COMPARISON
does with `_ldvcmp`. The macro is new in the unreleased 3.13.0, so no
existing namespace name changes.

- Move the macro's default into abi_macros.hpp so json_fwd.hpp computes
  the same namespace, and keep it defined under JSON_TEST_KEEP_MACROS.
- Check the tag in the ABI config tests and in the unit test.
- List `_bics` (and the missing `_dp`) in the namespace docs and in the
  natvis generator; regenerate nlohmann_json.natvis.
- Replace the "define it consistently" warning with an ABI note.

Suggested by @gregmarr in the review of #5544.

* Fix the cppcheck, clang-tidy and legacy-comparison CI failures

- to_json_tuple_impl() moved the element in both branches of a ternary;
  only one runs, but cppcheck reported accessMoved. Use if/else.
- The ABI tag test looked for "json_abi_bics", which misses when another
  tag comes first, as in json_abi_ldvcmp_bics; look for "_bics".
- readability-qualified-auto in the items() test.

Niels Lohmann fe2bcc080f Custom BinaryType direct assignment (#5266)
* Fix discussion #4209: custom BinaryType direct assignment and extraction

When a custom BinaryType is configured (other than the default std::vector<uint8_t>),
users can now:
1. Assign values of that type directly to create binary values (not arrays)
2. Extract binary values back to that type with get<>()
3. Extract arrays to that type (for backward compatibility)

Implementation:
- Add is_compatible_binary_type trait to centralize SFINAE condition
- Update to_json to accept custom BinaryType values directly
- Update from_json to handle both binary and array inputs for custom BinaryType
- Add #include <vector> with IWYU comment to from_json.hpp
- Add comprehensive tests for assignment and array extraction
- Update binary_t documentation with example

This is purely additive and invisible to the default nlohmann::json alias, which
continues to treat std::vector<uint8_t> as arrays.

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

* Fix CI: missing include and const-correctness

- Add #include <vector> to type_traits.hpp for the new
  is_compatible_binary_type trait's std::vector<std::uint8_t> reference
  (caught by cpplint's include-what-you-use check)
- Mark test-local json variables const where never reassigned
  (caught by clang-tidy's misc-const-correctness check)

Juan Carlos Arevalo BaezaandJuan Carlos Arevalo Baeza a259ecc51e Fix to_json for enums when the enum has an unsigned underlying type. (#4237)
* Enhance the UDT unit test to expose the issue

Add a new enum type with uint64_t as the underlying type.
Use it in the overall UDT. Not strictly needed, but it helps exercise its expected usage.
Create an object of this enum type with a large value (negative if cast to int64_t).
Perform several checks on this object as converted to `json`, which fail without the fix.

* Fix the issue in the relevant `to_json` overload.

Select the correct json type depending on the signedness of the enum's underlying type.
This fixes the new checks in the unit test.

* Add the fix to the single_include

I ran `make pretty` but that modified 20 files, performing a significant amount of indentation changes, none of them related to my change.
I ran `make amalgamate`, but that did nothing. Apparently, the make rule won't run if the single_include files have already been updated by `make pretty`.
I forced `make amalgamate` to do the work by touching the file with the fix.
I then decided to keep just the minimal needed change: the addition of the fix to the single_include file.

I just am not conversant enough in Linux to know whether I installed astyle correctly (had to clone the source from a beta branch and build, in order to get support for `--squeeze-lines`).

* Resolve CI errors and use qualified `std::uint64_t`

The fix was relying on implicit conversions in the non-taken branch.
- Ordinarily (work on a C++20 codebase) I would have used `if constexpr` here, sidestepping the issue, but that's not available on C++11 so I didn't bother.
- So instead of an `if` statement, I used a compile-time constant to select the correct overload.
- This is arguably better in this case, anyway.

I was using function-style casts for typed constants, which I consider superior for constants, but the CI checks disagree, so changed all to `static_cast`.
- For some reason, the CI checks didn't point at all of them, so I hope I caught them all myself.

Built with clang14 and all unit tests pass.
