Niels Lohmann e11f54032f Address the review of the view builder and document
Changes promised in the replies to the review of #5620:

- read() reuses the owned copy: a copied input (an rvalue byte container,
  a stream, FILE*, wide characters, an iterator range) is appended to the
  cleared owned buffer instead of a fresh std::string being move-assigned
  over it. A moved-in std::string still replaces it.
- The error replay runs the library parser with a SAX handler that stores
  nothing and throws the reported exception, instead of
  BasicJsonType::parse(), which built a DOM up to the error.
- Pointers to and arrays of wide characters, and FILE*, take the input
  adapter path (converted to UTF-8 into an owned buffer) instead of
  failing a static_assert. Wide pointers are NUL-terminated.
- Streams are read in blocks through rdbuf() into the buffer, instead of
  character by character through the input adapter; eofbit is set at the
  end, as by the library's stream adapter.
- tape/tape_size/tape_cap are now nodes/node_count/node_capacity.
- The builder's members get descriptive, m_-prefixed names.
- The shallow frame stack is a std::array (in a wrapper with a
  user-provided constructor: -Weffc++ wants the member initialized, and
  value-initializing the 64 frames costs up to 30 % on small documents).
- The value dispatch macro has no NEXT parameter; the switch is left with
  break, and the macro is undefined after its last use.
- literal() and digits_exceed() deduce the length from the string literal;
  each literal has one helper; the two `if (!is_float)` blocks are merged.
- arena_ensure() sits right before the writes; the decode arena is a
  std::vector<char>.
- The builder records the deepest nesting, and materialize() sizes its
  stack from it once (growing it only if a subtree is deeper).
- Comment fixes (hex4, slow_string, the NUL rule, put_utf8, 0 - m, the
  arena resize, grow()) and formatting (macro backslashes, digit cases,
  one power of ten per line, value_t assertion next to is_container()).
- build_with's template parameters follow the builder's order.

Greg's idea of keeping the source offset in `off` and the arena offset in
`next` for escaped strings was measured and not adopted: string access got
7-18 % slower with a select, and 3.5-18 % slower with a branch-free field
pick (Apple M-series, clang -O3), parsing was unchanged.

Niels Lohmann 5f846859a1 Read the node array base after emit() in the view builder's open()
emit() moves the node array when it grows, and the subtraction read base
in the same expression, so the order was unspecified. MSVC Release builds
without forced inlining read the old base; the container index then
pointed outside the array and close() wrote out of bounds.

Niels Lohmann 3eb2392cfe Make json_view.hpp pass include-what-you-use
ci_single_binaries runs IWYU with --error on every header. For json_view.hpp
it suggested adding <array> (std::array is used), the headers that json.hpp
already provides (abi_config, abi_macros, input_adapters, json_pointer,
cpp_future, string_concat, value_t, json_fwd), and <version> for
std::nullptr_t, and removing <cstddef>.

- include <array>
- keep <cstddef> (nullptr_t, size_t; IWYU attributes them to <version> and <cstring>)
- tell IWYU not to suggest the headers that json.hpp provides: the amalgamated
  json_view.hpp only includes json.hpp, so including them here would duplicate
  their definitions
- export json.hpp, keep macro_unscope.hpp, and drop the unused forward declaration of the document class

Niels Lohmann 2e3515f178 Add json_document and json_view: node index, parser, and document
Add json_document and json_view, a read-only, zero-copy index of a
JSON text, as the first public slice of the zero-copy view (#5295).

A parse produces a flat array of 16-byte nodes in document order,
one per value and one per object key. Strings stay in the source
text; escaped strings are decoded into an arena. Integers are
converted while their digits are in the cache; floats keep only
their digit layout and are converted on read. Containers store the
size of their subtree, so a reader can step over one in constant
time. A document makes a handful of allocations, however many
values it has.

The parser accepts exactly what json::parse accepts, with every
combination of ignore_comments and ignore_trailing_commas, with and
without a trailing NUL, and under JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING. It is
portable C++11 and does not depend on byte order.

basic_json_document adds parse, parse_copy, accept, read (reuses a
document's memory), root, is_discarded, source, owns_source,
node_count, memory_usage, and shrink_to_fit. basic_json_view adds
type, the is_* queries, operator bool, size, empty, materialize,
and source_offset. A parse error throws the same exception
basic_json::parse would throw for the same input, message and
position included.

detail::abi_config keeps JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING and
JSON_USE_LEGACY_DISCARDED_VALUE_COMPARISON readable after json.hpp
undefines them, in the ABI namespace so they always match the
basic_json in use.

A NUL byte that ends a // comment is the end of the input, as in
parse() since #5696.

Niels Lohmann b41228c227 Fix AppVeyor failures from the Zmij double writer (#5843)
MSVC 2015 warns C4554 on the shifts with casts in the fractional part
of zmij::to_shortest despite the parentheses; with /WX every target
fails to build. Name the shift amounts as constants instead.

The shortest-digits test built the candidates with one digit fewer via
a stream with std::setprecision(digits.size() - 2); the standard library
of MSVC 2017 ignores a precision of 0, so for two-digit values the
"shorter" candidates were the value itself. Truncate the digits
instead: the value lies within half a unit of the last digit, so the
truncated digits and their successor are the closest candidates.

Niels Lohmann dcb96e82fb Escape characters below 0x60 from a table straight into the write buffer (#5822)
* Escape characters below 0x60 from a table straight into the write buffer

When the bulk scanner in dump_escaped_impl() stops at a control
character, a quote or a backslash, that byte used to go through the
UTF-8 decoder and a switch that wrote the escape byte by byte into
string_buffer, which was then copied into write_buffer at the next run.

A byte below 0x60 at a character boundary is a complete code point, so
it now skips the decoder: its escape sequence comes from a 96-entry
table of 8-byte rows (sequence padded with zeros, length in the last
byte), and all 8 bytes are copied straight into write_buffer with one
room check. The check sits inside the existing character-boundary
block, so it runs once per scanner stop and not once per byte; testing
every byte cost about 6% on twitter.json with ensure_ascii.

The switch in the decoder's accept branch lost its cases for
characters below 0x60, which can no longer reach it.

Output is byte-identical. The string-buffer boundary tests now use
\u-escaped non-ASCII characters, since simple escapes no longer reach
string_buffer, and a new test case checks every ASCII character at
every position against a reference escaper.

* Avoid raw string literals with backslashes in CHECK macros

MSVC's traditional preprocessor mis-lexes raw string literals inside
macro arguments and reports illegal escape sequences (C2017, C3850).

* Sweep invalid UTF-8 at every position through dump()

Compare dump() of strings with ill-formed UTF-8 (stray continuation
bytes, invalid lead bytes, overlong encodings, surrogates, code points
above U+10FFFF, and sequences cut short by ASCII, a quote, a backslash,
a lead byte, or the end of the string) with an independent reference
serializer, for every error handler and with ensure_ascii on and off.
The pattern is put at every position of short strings to cross the
strides of the bulk scanners, and of longer ones to cross the end of the
512-byte string buffer.

Niels Lohmann eb74fe2ab7 Fuzz the streaming input adapters against the contiguous one (#5827)
* Fuzz the streaming input adapters against the contiguous one

The fast paths for contiguous input (bulk string scanning, multi-byte
loads, lazy position tracking) are taken only when parsing from a
pointer range; streams and non-contiguous iterators still read byte by
byte. The fuzzer drivers parsed only contiguous input, so a difference
between the two would ship unnoticed.

check_input_adapters() in fuzzer_common.hpp reads the input through a
std::istringstream, a std::list iterator range, and (on POSIX) a FILE*
from fmemopen, and asserts the same value, or the same exception id,
message and byte position, as for the pointer range. All seven drivers
call it; the JSON driver checks parse and accept, each with and without
ignore_comments. It replaces the stream check of the BON8 driver.

Niels Lohmann 91b9ee2602 Update cppcheck to 1.5.2 (Cppcheck 2.20) and fix its new findings (#5829)
Cppcheck 2.20 rejects invocations of unknown function-like macros in #if
conditions instead of evaluating them as 0. default_defines.hpp expands
the Hedley macros to the compiler's feature-test operators (__has_attribute
etc.), so define them as 0 in a generated include file.

It also reports a false bufferAccessOutOfBounds in the float overload of
float_from_bits, sizing the parameter as the double overload's; use the
size of the source instead (equal by the static_assert).

Niels Lohmann ce28c722bc Allow the same type for number_integer_t and number_unsigned_t (#5815)
* Allow the same type for number_integer_t and number_unsigned_t

basic_json did not compile with NumberUnsignedType == NumberIntegerType
because overloads on both types collided. Such a basic_json now stores
every integer as number_integer: the colliding overloads take a
placeholder type, unsigned C++ integers are converted to number_integer_t,
and value_t::number_unsigned maps to number_integer.

Also fixes two problems this configuration would hit: the unsigned
integer parser accepted values that wrap around to negative numbers, and
dump() overflowed when computing the absolute value of the minimum.

A repeated NumberFloatType gets a static_assert.

* Fix CI: name the unsigned overload type through template parameters

basic_json used number_unsigned_overload_t<basic_json> while the class was
still incomplete. MSVC rejected it as a recursive alias declaration and GCC
4.9, 5 and 7 crashed with an internal compiler error. basic_json now uses
number_unsigned_overload_type<NumberIntegerType, NumberUnsignedType>, which
also makes the GCC 5 workaround in the patch test unnecessary.

Infer reported a null dereference for the number_unsigned case in
from_json, which cannot happen for a basic_json whose number_unsigned_t is
number_integer_t; assert it.

Niels Lohmann 6261d1e432 Construct the JSON Patch exceptions out of line (#5842)
patch_inplace() built its error messages inline. In particular get_value()
concatenated the context-sensitive "operation 'x'" string on every call, even
when nothing was wrong. The patch exceptions now come from NEVER_INLINE
helpers: the index and key errors reuse basic_json's existing
throw_array_index_out_of_range/throw_key_not_found, and the seven
patch-specific messages get one helper each in detail/exceptions.hpp. Ids
and messages are unchanged, and unit-throw_messages pins them (with and
without JSON_DIAGNOSTICS).

citm_catalog patch: -6.6 % (Apple clang), -9.5 % (GCC 16).
The other remaining throw sites (parser::syntax_error, binary_writer,
serializer, input_adapters, enum_key_duplicate, format_error) were prototyped
and measured: no gain beyond noise, so they stay as they are.

* Destroy the first levels of a value by recursion

The pointer-reversing walk in destroy_container() avoids the call stack but
moves a value around for every container it visits. Recurse for the first
recursion_depth_limit() levels instead - no allocation, no thread-local, a
bounded frame - and hand anything deeper to the walk. Destroy twitter

* Compare standard containers without a thread-local depth count

operator== on objects and arrays recursed through the containers' own
operator== and counted the depth in a thread-local variable. Where reading a
thread-local costs a call (macOS), that added about 10% to comparing documents
with many small containers. For the standard containers, walk objects and
arrays directly, compare scalars and strings inline, and pass the depth as an
argument, falling back to compare_iteratively beyond the depth limit. Other
container types keep the previous path.

* Address review: owns_memory() helper, leaf compare naming, astyle

- Add detail::owns_memory(value_t), a switch listing every enumerator so
  -Wswitch-enum flags it when a type is added; destroy() and the copy
  constructor use it instead of hand-written comparisons. Clang emits the
  same bitmask test as before.
- Drop the parentheses around the scalar operands in
  JSON_IMPLEMENT_SCALAR_CASES; they are only needed for the container
  operands (#1530), which the comment now says.
- Build equal_bounded_containers from detail::conjunction so astyle no
  longer pads the template brackets.
- Rename equal_scalar() to equal_leaf() and document why it also compares
  strings, unlike JSON_IMPLEMENT_SCALAR_FAST.

* Only trust containers known to keep their elements in place

Address review: decide whether an insertion may have moved the other
members by naming the containers that are known not to, instead of the
ones that are known to.

- detail::has_stable_elements: std::map, std::multimap,
  std::unordered_map and std::unordered_multimap; object_capacity()
  reports 0 for them.
- detail::is_nlohmann_ordered_map: only the real nlohmann::ordered_map
  (which only appends) reports its capacity().
- Any other object type reports unknown_size(), so it gets a full
  set_parents() on every insertion. Before, an object type without
  capacity() was treated as never moving, and one with capacity() (a
  sorted flat map, say) was trusted to move only on reallocation.
- set_parents_after_object_erase() re-parents unless the object type is
  stable; the unused set_parent() is removed.
- Comments say "the object type" instead of "ordered_json".
- New test with an object type that moves its members without changing
  its capacity; it fails without this change.

* Hint the end when converting an object to a standard container

from_json for map-like containers called emplace() without a hint, which
searches the tree for every key. The keys of the source object are sorted, so
inserting with the end as the hint is constant time, as it was in 3.12.0 via
std::inserter. get<std::map<...>>() of a 25,000 entry object: 4.2 ms -> 3.25 ms

* Restore unflatten() speed after the linear-time rewrite

The prefix tree introduced for linear unflatten() kept a std::map per prefix,
copied each token into it and looked every token up a second time while
creating the values. Replace the per-prefix maps by one open-addressing table
keyed by (parent, token) that refers to the parsed tokens, skip the lookups for
the prefix shared with the previous key (flattened objects are mostly sorted),
and derive the prefix numbers of the second pass from parent links instead of
lookups.

Time and memory stay linear in the pointer depth, and the result is still
independent of the iteration order of the flattened object.
