* Add shared detail helpers for the #5891 cleanup
Add detail::is_primitive(value_t), detail::hex4_lower(), detail::utf8_shape(),
detail::input_format_name(), detail::empty_input_message(), the exception ids
116, 319, 320 and 416 to detail::exception_id, and make
detail::is_ascii_copyable() constexpr. Later commits switch the duplicated
code over to them.

* 1.4: BSON writers share one write-pass UTF-8 sanitizer (#5891)
write_bson_entry_header and write_bson_string re-derived the error-handler
policy differently. Both now use sanitize_utf8_for_bson_write, which treats
strict like keep (the size pass already validated) and sanitizes replace/ignore
into the bytes the size pass measured. No context plumbing is needed.

- to_binary_vector: destroy the vector writer before returning, as the
output_vector_sink sets the size of the vector in its destructor.
Without NRVO (MSVC Debug in C++14 mode), the vector was moved out
before it was resized.
- parser::sax_parse: return false instead of result after the early exit
(cppcheck identicalConditionAfterEarlyExit).

NOLINT at each call site to work around it.

* Include doctest as a SYSTEM directory instead of disabling warnings for all tests
test_main added -Wno-deprecated and -Wno-float-equal as PUBLIC compile
options for every non-MSVC compiler, so they were applied to every
translation unit, library headers included, and silenced the CI
warnings meant to check the library's own -Wfloat-equal pragmas. The
only code that actually needed the suppression was the vendored
doctest.h, which was included as a normal (non-SYSTEM) directory.
Include thirdparty/doctest as SYSTEM for test_main, matching what
tests/abi/CMakeLists.txt already does, and drop the two suppressions
from both targets. Verified locally that unit-comparison,

* Remove the no-op ci_clang_analyze target
ci_clang_analyze configured the build with the real compiler and only
then wrapped ninja with scan-build. scan-build intercepts compiles by
overriding CC/CXX, but build.ninja already had the compiler path baked
in from the configure step, so every run bypassed the analyzer: CI
logs show "No bugs found" after a normal build, never an analysis.
The job also used Debian's frozen clang-tools-14 rather than the
image's own clang, and CLANG_ANALYZER_CHECKS still named three
valist.* checkers that current clang merged into security.VAList.
ci_clang_tidy already runs every clang-analyzer-* check (via
.clang-tidy's "Checks: '*'") with warnings as errors, so nothing is
lost by removing the dead job. Delete ci_clang_analyze,
CLANG_ANALYZER_CHECKS and the SCAN_BUILD_TOOL lookup from
cmake/ci.cmake, drop it from the ubuntu.yml ci_static_analysis_clang
matrix, and drop the now-unused clang-tools apt package (iwyu stays
for ci_single_binaries). Reword quality_assurance.md and
assurance_case.md, which described the dead job as a working control,
to say the Clang Static Analyzer checks run through clang-tidy.
Verified that `cmake -DJSON_CI=ON` still configures cleanly and that
ci_clang_analyze no longer appears in the generated build or in any
CMake/workflow file.

* Re-enable portability-template-virtual-member-function; remove redundant forwards
.clang-tidy disabled three checks "to get the CI going" (#4489,
2024-11-13): portability-template-virtual-member-function,
bugprone-use-after-move and its alias hicpp-invalid-access-moved.
portability-template-virtual-member-function only flagged
output_stream_adapter::write_character/write_characters; annotate
both with NOLINT and re-enable the check.
bugprone-use-after-move flagged several double forwards that have no
effect at runtime:
- from_json.hpp calls std::forward<BasicJsonType>(j).at(Idx) inside
pack expansions; at() has no ref-qualified overloads and always
returns an lvalue reference, so the forward is a no-op. Replace with
plain j.at(Idx) in all four places.
- the move constructor forwards the whole object to its base class
and then reads other's members. That is item 9 of #5724 (together
with its cppcheck suppressions) and is left to that change.
- input_adapters.hpp forwards the container twice on purpose, so the
begin/end iterator types match adapter_type; annotate with NOLINT
and a comment instead of changing behavior.
The check still flags the move constructor (see above) and two sites
in at(KeyType&&) (both overloads, json.hpp, in the throw's
string_t(std::forward<KeyType>(key)) after
find(std::forward<KeyType>(key))). Open PR #5689 rewrites that hunk,
so bugprone-use-after-move (and hicpp-invalid-access-moved)
stay disabled for now, with a comment explaining why; re-enable them
once #5689 and the #5724 move-constructor change have landed.
Also resolve the portability-avoid-pragma-once TODO: single_include
never has #pragma once (amalgamate.py strips it) and every supported
compiler accepts it in include/, so keep it disabled with an
explanatory comment instead of a TODO. Fix the stale "json.hpp,
around line 1265" comment in unit-class_parser.cpp, which now points
at the move constructor's actual line.
Behavior, the public API and the ABI do not change. Verified with
clang-tidy 22.1.8 that portability-template-virtual-member-function
now reports nothing, that bugprone-use-after-move/
hicpp-invalid-access-moved report only the known at(KeyType&&) and
move-constructor sites, and that unit-custom-base-class, unit-constructor1,
unit-conversions, unit-element_access2, unit-class_parser and
unit-diagnostic-positions (JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS=1) compile
under ASan/UBSan and pass with the same assertion counts as before.

* Fix stale and malformed NOLINT comments
json_sax.hpp named "-warnings-as-errors" in the NOLINT list on the two
JSON_ASSERT(false) lines; that is the suffix clang-tidy appends to a
diagnostic tag under WarningsAsErrors, not a check name, and every
other JSON_ASSERT(false) omits it.
unit-capacity.cpp carried 30 "// NOLINT(misc-const-correctness)"
comments on "json j = ...;" declarations that are all used with
non-const members afterwards, so the check has nothing to report
there.
unit-constructor2.cpp used a blanket "// NOLINT: access after move is
OK here" on a use-after-move that hides every check on the line;
naming bugprone-use-after-move and hicpp-invalid-access-moved keeps
the intent once those checks are re-enabled (#5724).

* Remove the GCC C++20 -Wignored-attributes pragma in json.hpp
The pragma (added in #5164) claimed to work around the C++ modules
redefinition errors of #5103, but #5103 is about hard errors (e.g.
"redefinition of std::__is_constant_evaluated()", conflicting
std::integral_constant) that ignoring a warning cannot suppress; they
are traced to GCC PR 124430 and reproduce with <map> or <string>
instead of json.hpp too. A GCC 16.2 -std=gnu++20 -fmodules build
following #5103's repro steps still fails with the pragma in place,
and a build of all test TUs with GCC_CXXFLAGS (which enable
-Wignored-attributes) and the pragma removed produces no such
warning. The block only hid a warning class from GCC C++20 users
while suggesting #5103 was handled.

* Fix stale doxygen comments hidden by the -Wdocumentation pragma
macro_scope.hpp ignores -Wdocumentation and -Wdocumentation-unknown-command

- detail::unescape() documented "@return unescaped string" but returns
void and unescapes its argument in place; reworded to
"@param[in,out] s string to unescape in place" and dropped the
bogus @return.
- basic_json::get()'s copy-conversion overload wrote "converted to
@tparam ValueType" inside @return, which Doxygen and Clang parse as
a second, malformed @tparam; changed to "@a ValueType", matching the
two other get() overloads a few lines above that already use it.
This narrows the gap the -Wdocumentation pragma needs to cover; fully

* Fix -Wextra-semi-stmt at its actual source, not assert()
clang_flags.cmake blamed the global -Wno-extra-semi-stmt on assert(),
but assert() expands to an expression under glibc and libc++ and does
not trigger this warning. unit-assert_macro.cpp overrides JSON_ASSERT
with "{if (!(x)) ++assert_counter; }", a bare block followed by a
semicolon at every JSON_ASSERT(...) call site in the library; that
was the actual source of 151 of the 208 -Wextra-semi-stmt sites found
in a Clang 22 -Weverything sweep of the test suite with the flag
removed. Switched to the standard do/while(false) macro idiom, which
does not expand to a statement-plus-semicolon, and corrected the
comment to name the remaining source instead: vendored Doctest's
CAPTURE(x) shim, which already ends in a semicolon.

doctest_compatibility.h defines CAPTURE(x) as DOCTEST_CAPTURE(x); (with
a trailing semicolon baked into the macro), specifically so call sites
do not need to add one themselves; most of the ~267 call sites already
follow that convention. The remaining 64 call sites across 20 files
wrote "CAPTURE(x);" anyway, turning into a statement plus an empty
statement and triggering -Wextra-semi-stmt. Dropped the redundant
semicolon at each of those sites.
With item 6 having already made vendored Doctest a SYSTEM include, and
this the last known source of -Wextra-semi-stmt findings, removed the
flag from clang_flags.cmake entirely.

* Switch ci_static_analysis_clang off the frozen LLVM 22 dev image
ubuntu.yml pinned the clang-tidy/clang-tidy-sanitizer/single-binaries
job to silkeh/clang:dev, a tag last pushed 2026-02-18 that reports
"clang version 22.0.0 (...+20251015...)", a pre-release snapshot from
before the LLVM 22 release; the maintainer now updates dev-unstable,
22, and latest instead. Switched to silkeh/clang:22, matching the
other clang jobs on :latest.
Verified with clang-tidy 22.1.8 (the image's actual version) against
this repository's .clang-tidy and library headers what the release
image newly reports compared to :dev:
- readability-redundant-typename fires at ~250 sites across the
_cpp20-relevant conversion/to_chars headers; the library targets
C++11 and keeps the typenames, so the check is disabled in
.clang-tidy, matching how the file already handles checks that
don't fit a C++11 codebase.
- misc-anonymous-namespace-in-header fires on the two anonymous
namespaces in from_json.hpp and to_json.hpp; added the alias to
their existing NOLINT (cert-dcl59-cpp, fuchsia-header-anon-namespaces,
google-build-namespaces).
- bugprone-std-namespace-modification fires on every addition to
namespace std: the std::hash, std::formatter and std::swap
overloads in json.hpp, and the std::tuple_size/std::tuple_element
specializations in iteration_proxy.hpp (this last file is not named
in #5725's item 5, found by actually running clang-tidy 22.1.8
against the current tree). All six are legal, deliberate additions
to namespace std (explicit/partial specializations of std types, or
the pre-C++20 std::swap overload); annotated each with the check
name next to its existing cert-dcl58-cpp NOLINT.
- modernize-avoid-c-style-cast reported nothing new.
Also added clang++-22/21, clang-tidy-22/21, g++-16 and gcov-16 to the
find_program search lists in ci.cmake so a local "maximal warnings"
configure prefers the current toolchain version over an older one on

documented -Wno-* exclusions and the same alphabetical placement
scheme as before.

own because it only probes value ranges/lists it finds in the -Q

- -Wbidi-chars=any, -Wleading-whitespace=spaces: manually verified
these compile cleanly with g++ 16.2.0.

Without -fstrict-flex-arrays (which the library does not enable, as
it would change codegen for flexible array members), GCC prints
"'-Wstrict-flex-arrays' is ignored when '-fstrict-flex-arrays' is
not present" on every translation unit, and under our -Werror that
note itself aborts the build. This differs from the harmless
no-op warnings already kept in the file (-Whsa, -Wsynth,
-Wunreachable-code, -Wunsafe-loop-optimizations), which emit
nothing; #5725 item 7 named -Wstrict-flex-arrays as one of the
flags GCC 16 adds, but did not anticipate this failure mode.
Verified: compiled the library header and a representative set of
test translation units (including ones touched by items 1, 3, 8, 9,
10 of this issue) with the regenerated GCC_CXXFLAGS plus -Werror
under g++ 16.2.0 at -std=c++11 through -std=c++26, with zero warnings;
ran the full local test suite (129/129 passing, unrelated to this
compiler) as a regression check. CI must still confirm the actual
ci_test_gcc / ci_test_standards_gcc targets end to end, since this was
verified with direct g++ invocations rather than through the CMake/
CXXFLAGS environment-variable plumbing in ci.cmake.

* Avoid std::basic_string<CharType> for non-character output_adapter CharType
output_adapter<CharType, StringType> defaulted StringType to
std::basic_string<CharType>, and (with JSON_NO_IO undefined) always
declared a std::basic_ostream<CharType>&-taking constructor. For
CharType with no non-deprecated std::char_traits specialization (only
std::uint8_t is ever used this way, by the binary writers), simply
naming either type - as an unused default template argument, or as an
unused, never-called constructor's parameter type - instantiates
std::char_traits<CharType> merely to name it, which some standard
libraries mark deprecated: with the library-wide -Wdocumentation
pragma (item 2's other half, left for a later commit) temporarily
removed, an Apple clang 21 / libc++ TU calling json::to_cbor(j, vec)
with std::vector<std::uint8_t>& got one -Wdeprecated-declarations
warning per binary writer at the old output_adapters.hpp:193.
Replaced the eager std::basic_string<CharType> / std::basic_ostream
<CharType> defaults with a bool-tagged partial specialization (not
std::conditional, which requires naming both branches' types up
front regardless of which is selected, reproducing the same warning)
that only ever names std::basic_string<CharType> / std::basic_ostream
<CharType> when CharType is actually one of char, wchar_t, char16_t,
char32_t, or (with __cpp_lib_char8_t) char8_t. For any other
CharType, output_adapter's StringType and ostream-constructor
parameter fall back to two distinct empty placeholder types, kept
distinct so the two constructor overloads do not collide into a
single redeclaration.
Public API / behavior: passing a std::basic_string<std::uint8_t>& or
std::basic_ostream<std::uint8_t>& directly to a binary writer's
output_adapter now fails to compile instead of compiling with a
deprecation warning; this was neither documented nor tested. All
documented uses (std::vector<CharType>, std::basic_ostream<CharType>
and StringType for character CharType) are unaffected.
Verified with Apple clang 21 / libc++, with the two -Wdocumentation*
"ignored" pragma lines in macro_scope.hpp temporarily removed and
-std=c++11/c++20 plus the project's -Weverything flag set: calling
to_cbor/to_msgpack/to_ubjson/to_bjdata/to_bson/to_bon8 on a
std::vector<std::uint8_t> now produces no char_traits<unsigned char>
(or any other) deprecation warning, while the char-based string- and
ostream-adapter paths, and a to_cbor/from_cbor round trip, still
compile and run correctly; also verified with GCC 16.2.0. Ran the
full local test suite, including the binary-format unit tests
(unit-cbor, unit-msgpack, unit-ubjson, unit-bjdata, unit-bson,
unit-bon8, unit-binary_writer_sinks, unit-binary_formats,
unit-custom-binary-type): 129/129 passing.

* Remove the library-wide -Wdocumentation pragma; fix what it hid
macro_scope.hpp / macro_unscope.hpp pushed and popped a Clang
diagnostic region over the entire library that ignored -Wdocumentation
and -Wdocumentation-unknown-command. Removed both pragmas and fixed
every finding a full -Wdocumentation (which implies
-Wdocumentation-unknown-command and -Wdocumentation-deprecated-sync)
build reports, so the library now compiles clean under Clang's
documentation checks without a blanket suppression. Overlaps #5267,
which is still open and edits a nearby doc block (json.hpp's
get()/get_impl() @return, already fixed in the item 2 step (b) commit
of this branch); this commit does not touch that block again.
Unknown Doxygen alias commands (Doxyfile removed in #3071, so these
were never rendered by anything) rewritten as plain prose, keeping the
same information:
- @requirement REQ-JSON-01 / REQ-JSON-02 (iter_impl.hpp,
json_reverse_iterator.hpp): now "This class satisfies the following
concept requirements (REQ-JSON-0N):".
- @liveexample{prose,example-id} (three sites in json.hpp): kept the
prose, dropped the command wrapper and the trailing example-id
(docs/mkdocs/docs/examples/*.cpp still exist and are used directly
by the rendered docs, not through this in-header alias) and
unescaped the "\," commas that were only needed for the old alias's
comma-separated argument syntax.
- @complexity X (json.hpp x4, json_pointer.hpp x2, serializer.hpp x1):
now "Complexity: X".
Backslash sequences Clang's comment lexer tried to parse as commands,
escaped to render as literal backslashes:
- lexer.hpp get_codepoint(): two `\u` occurrences.
- binary_reader.hpp get_bson_cstr() / get_bson_cstr_bulk(): two
`\x00` occurrences.
- serializer.hpp: three `\uXXXX` occurrences (constructor @param,
append_codepoint_to_string_buffer() @brief, and the ensure_ascii
member comment).
One finding remained after all of the above: Clang reports
"declaration is marked with '@deprecated' command but does not have a
deprecation attribute" on the deprecated sax_parse(span_input_adapter&&, ...)
overload, even though JSON_HEDLEY_DEPRECATED_FOR does expand to
__attribute__((deprecated(...))) for Clang. Several isolated
reproductions of this exact declaration shape - doc comment,
template<>, two stacked __attribute__ macros, an overload set sharing
the name - did not reproduce the warning, so this looks like a
Clang comment/declaration-association quirk specific to this overload
inside the much larger basic_json class template, not an actual
documentation defect. Rather than keep the pragma library-wide for one
Clang false positive, added a tightly scoped
-Wdocumentation-deprecated-sync push/pop around just that overload.
Verified with Apple clang 21 and the project's actual -Weverything
flag set (cmake/clang_flags.cmake) on the full header at -std=c++11
and -std=c++20: zero -Wdocumentation* diagnostics. Also compiled
clean with GCC 16.2.0 (the pragmas are already __clang__-gated, so
this only confirms no unrelated breakage). Ran make check-amalgamation
and the full local test suite: 129/129 passing.

* Take the JSON value by const reference in the array and tuple from_json paths
Review feedback on #5737 (gregmarr): once the no-op std::forward calls
are gone, the forwarding references have no purpose. from_json_fn
passes the value as const BasicJsonType&, so these functions were only
ever instantiated with a const lvalue anyway.
The std::array, std::pair and std::tuple overloads of from_json and
their helpers now take const BasicJsonType& and pass j on unchanged.
Because the deduced BasicJsonType is now the plain type, tuple_type and
the static_assert name const BasicJsonType& explicitly, so the
reference checks are unchanged: get<std::tuple<const std::string&>>()
still works, and get<std::tuple<std::string&>>() still fails the same
static_assert. from_json_tuple_get_impl keeps its forwarding reference,
since tuple_type calls it through std::declval.
Behavior, the public API and the ABI do not change. unit-conversions,
unit-constructor1, unit-udt, unit-udt_macro, unit-regression1/2/3,
unit-deserialization, unit-noexcept, unit-items, unit-allocator,
unit-custom-object-type, unit-ordered_json2 and
unit-brace-init-copy-semantics pass at C++11, C++17 and C++20 with
unchanged assertion counts. Ran make amalgamate.

* 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.

* Guard JSON_HEDLEY_DIAGNOSTIC_PUSH/POP with the same compiler check as the pragma they bracket
Addresses review feedback from @gregmarr on PR #5485: the push/pop calls
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.
