* Re-amalgamate single_include
#5737 changed 13 headers under include/ but merged without the matching
single_include/nlohmann/json.hpp update, so the amalgamated header still
had, among others, the GCC C++20 -Wignored-attributes pragma block and
the clang -Wdocumentation push/pop that #5737 removed, the forwarding
from_json tuple/array helpers it replaced with const references, and
lacked the output_adapter char_traits changes it added.
Regenerated with `make amalgamate` (astyle 3.4.13). The diff is exactly
`git diff b54ed188ee5a89d671 -- include/` (164+/95-); json_fwd.hpp and

* Run the amalgamation check on pushes to develop
#5737 was merged 39 seconds after its last push, while its own
check_amalgamation run was still queued (earlier runs had been
cancelled by the concurrency group), so the stale single_include
reached develop without any failing check.
Also run the check on pushes to develop, without cancelling in-progress
develop runs. The "save" job (PR number/author for the comment
workflow) only runs for pull requests, the checkout falls back to
github.sha, and comment_check_amalgamation.yml only comments for
PR-triggered runs, since push runs have no PR and no "pr" artifact.

The comment said the size_type overflow check in array_index() is only

from coverage. On 64-bit platforms the check is true for SIZE_MAX

* 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

* 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
for the whole library, which also hides genuine documentation mistakes:
- 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
replacing the Doxygen-only commands it also hides (item 2c) is left
for after #5267.

* 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.
Verified with clang++ -Wextra-semi-stmt (plus the file's other CI
ignores) that unit-assert_macro.cpp now compiles without any
-Wextra-semi-stmt diagnostic.

* Drop the redundant semicolon from CAPTURE() call sites; remove -Wno-extra-semi-stmt
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.
Verified with clang++ -Wextra-semi-stmt (plus the file's other CI
ignores) that all 20 touched files, plus a file with no CAPTURE() use
(unit-json_pointer.cpp), compile without any -Wextra-semi-stmt

* 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

* Regenerate cmake/gcc_flags.cmake for GCC 16.2.0
GCC_CXXFLAGS was generated for GCC 15.1.0, but ci_test_gcc and
ci_test_gcc_cxx{11..26} now run in gcc:latest, currently GCC 16.2.0,
so the "maximal warnings" job was missing warnings introduced since
15.1.0 while carrying entries GCC 16 treats as duplicates or no-ops.
Regenerated with https://github.com/nlohmann/gcc_flags (patched
locally to not crash on an option whose "-x c++ <opt> -" probe fails
before it reads stdin, e.g. -Wabi=; the tool otherwise raises
BrokenPipeError instead of recording the option as an error) run
against g++ 16.2.0 in the official gcc:16 Docker image, keeping the
documented -Wno-* exclusions and the same alphabetical placement
scheme as before.
Also added three GCC 16 warnings the generator cannot discover on its
own because it only probes value ranges/lists it finds in the -Q
option name itself, not in the enum choices --help=warnings documents
separately:
- -Wbidi-chars=any, -Wleading-whitespace=spaces: manually verified
these compile cleanly with g++ 16.2.0.
- -Wstrict-flex-arrays: deliberately NOT added, unlike the other two.
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

* 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

* Assert on the result of STL container conversions in tests
The "object-like STL containers" and "array-like STL containers"
sections converted json values into std::map, unordered_map,
multimap, unordered_multimap, list, forward_list, array, valarray,
vector, deque, set and unordered_set and discarded the result, so
these ~60 conversions only proved that the code compiles and does
not throw; a conversion that dropped or reordered elements would
still pass. Bind each result and compare it against the expected
container. Also fix a copy-paste slip in the deque section
(`j2.get<std::deque<double>>()` instead of j3, so j3's doubles were
never converted to a deque), and remove the dead
`// CHECK(m5["one"] == "eins")` comments that referred to a variable
that did not exist by asserting the equivalent through the bound
result.

* Deduplicate SaxCountdown and other test helpers across formats
SaxCountdown was copied byte-for-byte into six binary-format test
files (unit-cbor.cpp, unit-msgpack.cpp, unit-ubjson.cpp,
unit-bjdata.cpp, unit-bon8.cpp, unit-bson.cpp), about 370 redundant
lines. Move it into tests/src/sax_countdown.hpp (namespace utils,
alongside test_utils.hpp and round_trip_corpus.hpp) and include it
from all six.
trait_test_arg and the "value_in_range_of trait"
TEST_CASE_TEMPLATE_DEFINE were duplicated between unit-32bit.cpp and
unit-bjdata.cpp; the trait is a detail/meta trait, not specific to
either file. Move it into tests/src/value_in_range_of_test.hpp;
unit-32bit.cpp keeps its own include, since JSON_32bitTest=ONLY
builds only that file. Each file keeps its own
TEST_CASE_TEMPLATE_INVOKE list.
sax_no_exception and the "issue #2824" section were duplicated in
unit-regression2.cpp and unit-disabled_exceptions.cpp. Drop the copy
from unit-regression2.cpp; unit-disabled_exceptions.cpp already
covers the no-exceptions case that #2824 was about, and
ci_test_noexceptions reruns it.
No behavior change. Verified by building and running unit-cbor,
unit-msgpack, unit-ubjson, unit-bjdata, unit-bon8, unit-bson,
unit-32bit, unit-regression2 and unit-disabled_exceptions against
include/ (clang++ -std=c++11, ASan/UBSan where applicable); assertion
counts are unchanged from before the refactor.

* Run the CBOR, MessagePack, BSON and BON8 round-trip invariants in CI
tests/src/round_trip_corpus.hpp exists so that the byte-stability
invariant the fuzzer drivers check also runs on a fixed corpus in CI,
instead of only at OSS-Fuzz. So far only the UBJSON and BJData drivers
had a matching unit test; the CBOR, MessagePack, BSON and BON8 drivers
assert the same invariant (assert(to_X(j2) == vec)) but nothing ran it
outside OSS-Fuzz.
Add "<FORMAT> round-trip invariants" test cases to unit-cbor.cpp,
unit-msgpack.cpp, unit-bson.cpp and unit-bon8.cpp, modeled on the
UBJSON case: seed j1 from the corpus (skipping values that do not
survive the format's own round trip, as the fuzzer drivers only ever
see values from_X() actually produced), then require from_X(to_X(j1))
not to throw and check to_X(j2) == to_X(j1). BSON only serializes
objects, so non-object corpus values are skipped. Update the comments
in round_trip_corpus.hpp and tests/fuzzing.md to name all six formats.
The stream-versus-contiguous check in the BON8 driver is left out, as
#5601 reworks it.
A local probe confirms no violations on the current corpus (CBOR 3849
checked, MessagePack 3909, BSON 2958, BON8 3841 - matching the counts
already recorded for this probe in the issue).

* Fix fuzzer driver step lists to match the checks the code performs
The header comment of six of the seven binary-format fuzzer drivers
listed an invariant the code does not check: CBOR, MessagePack, BSON
and BON8 said "assert(j1 == j2)", but the code checks byte stability,
assert(to_X(j2) == vec). UBJSON and BJData still described the old
"assert(j1 == j2/j3/j4)" byte-exact check from before PR #5494 replaced
it with a use_size/use_type-aware round trip (UBJSON) and a
value-stability check (BJData); BJData's added paragraph already
explained the new check, but the step list above it did not.
Also remove a dead branch in fuzzer-parse_bson.cpp: from_bson() is
called with allow_exceptions = true, so it throws instead of returning
a discarded value, and the "if (j1.is_discarded()) return 0;" guard
could never trigger. Drop the unused <iostream> include from all seven
drivers and <sstream> from all but fuzzer-parse_bon8.cpp, which is the
only one that uses std::istringstream.
Overlaps #5601, which edits all seven drivers in the same hunks.

* Silence the CMP0169 deprecation in cmake_fetch_content, fix stale guards
tests/cmake_fetch_content/project calls the single-argument
FetchContent_Populate(json) after FetchContent_Declare(), which CMake
3.30 deprecated as CMP0169. Since the project declares
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.11...3.14), the policy stays unset,
so every configure with a current CMake prints the deprecation
warning. The test is kept on purpose: it is the only coverage of the
FetchContent_Populate + add_subdirectory pattern for CMake 3.11-3.13
users, which the docs still describe as supported. Explicitly set
CMP0169 to OLD, with a comment explaining why.
Also fix two stale version guards:
- tests/cmake_fetch_content/CMakeLists.txt guarded the test with
VERSION_GREATER "3.11.0", which is dead now that tests/CMakeLists.txt
requires CMake 3.13.
- tests/cmake_fetch_content2/CMakeLists.txt guarded with
VERSION_GREATER "3.14.0", which skips exactly 3.14.0, the first
version with FetchContent_MakeAvailable. Change it to
VERSION_GREATER_EQUAL "3.14".
Verified locally: `ctest -R cmake_fetch_content` passes with CMake
4.1, and the CMP0169 deprecation warning that appeared before this
change is gone.

* Make the CMake integration-test wrappers consistent
The six tests/cmake_* integration-test wrappers had drifted:
- Only cmake_import and cmake_import_minver forwarded
-A "${CMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM}" to the inner configure, and none
forwarded -T "${CMAKE_GENERATOR_TOOLSET}". The Windows workflow
configures the outer build with -A Win32 -T ClangCL, so without
forwarding, the inner projects of cmake_add_subdirectory,
cmake_fetch_content, cmake_fetch_content2 and
cmake_target_include_directories built with the generator defaults
instead of matching the outer build's platform and toolset. Forward
both consistently from all six wrappers.
- cmake_fetch_content and cmake_fetch_content2 passed
-Dnlohmann_json_source to their inner projects, which never read it
(CMake warns "manually-specified variables were not used"); the
inner projects fetch their own copy of the library instead. Drop it.
- tests/CMakeLists.txt set JSON_FORCED_GLOBAL_COMPILE_OPTIONS from the
matching environment variable but never read the cache variable
again; the lines right below it read $ENV{JSON_FORCED_GLOBAL_COMPILE_OPTIONS}
directly, like the LINK_OPTIONS counterpart already does. Remove the
dead set().
This changes which platform and toolset the Win32 and ClangCL CI jobs
build the four newly-forwarding wrappers' inner projects with, which
may surface new failures there; CI has to confirm those jobs.
Verified locally with Ninja (empty -A ""/-T "" is accepted): all 12
cmake_* tests still pass, and the inner fetch_content configures no
longer warn about the unused variable.

* Turn the #972 fifo_map regression test into a real test
The #972 regression test in unit-regression1.cpp only built a
my_json array from a string literal (the original crash) and had no
CHECK, so the fifo_map object type it exists to demonstrate was never
exercised. Meanwhile the docs recommend fifo_map for keeping object
keys in insertion order (object_order.md, template_parameters.md),
and nothing tested that recommendation.
Extend the section: after the original array assignment, parse an
object with my_json::parse() (not via the "..."_json UDL, which
returns a plain nlohmann::json and would exercise the cross-basic_json
conversion constructor instead of the parser's own key insertion -
and, as tried locally, does not keep fifo order for this stateful
comparator) and check that dump() keeps insertion order, and that it
survives erase() and inserting a new key.
Also narrow thirdparty/fifo_map off the include path of every other
test-* target: it was a PUBLIC include directory of test_main, even
though unit-regression1.cpp is its only user. Add a small
fifo_map_include INTERFACE library with that include directory and
attach it to test-regression1 only via json_test_set_test_options().
Verified locally (test-regression1_cpp11, default build and
-fsanitize=address,undefined): the new checks pass; `git grep fifo_map
tests` still only finds unit-regression1.cpp and the vendored header.

* Document the vendored doctest.h patch; fix stale doctest_compatibility.h comments
tests/thirdparty/doctest/doctest.h is doctest 2.4.12, imported in
#4771. Two weeks later, #4801 hand-edited translateActiveException()
to declare "String res;" inside the translator loop instead of before
it, so a translator that does not match does not leave a previous
translator's result in "res" for the next iteration to see. Nothing
recorded this, so re-vendoring doctest.h from upstream would silently
drop the fix. Add a comment at the patched site naming the version,
the PR and the reason, so a future re-vendor knows to re-apply it.
Also fix two stale comments in doctest_compatibility.h:
- The DOCTEST_THREAD_LOCAL comment referenced Xcode 6/7, which is no
longer supported; reword it to explain why the define must stay
regardless (it keeps doctest's own thread_local usage out of the way
of the same Clang/MinGW crash that JSON_NO_THREAD_LOCAL works around
in the library, see ci_test_no_thread_local).
- The <iosfwd> include's comment justified it with tests that define
"private" as "public"; no test under tests/src does that any more
(removed by #2352). Reword the comment instead of dropping the
include, since confirming it is safe to drop needs the full CI
matrix including MSVC 2015+.

passes 17/17 with these headers.

* Stop compiling unit-wstring.cpp out entirely on classic ICC
tests/src/unit-wstring.cpp wrapped the whole file in
#ifndef __INTEL_COMPILER, with the comment "ICPC errors out on
multibyte character sequences in source files". The ci_icpc job
(intel/oneapi-hpckit:2023.2.1) still exists, so that job ran none of
the wstring/u16string/u32string input adapter tests, including the
malformed-input checks #5704 (open) extends.
Only 9 lines contained non-ASCII bytes: the three *_is_utf16()/
*_is_utf32() probe functions, and three std::wstring/u16string/
u32string literals plus their narrow-string dump() expectations.
Rewrite all of them with \u/\U escapes in the wide/u16/u32 literals
and \x escapes (split into separate string-literal tokens so a
following byte is never read as part of the same hex escape, e.g.
"\xE1\x83\x85" "a") in the narrow ones. Remove the
#ifndef __INTEL_COMPILER/#endif guard along with it.
The *_is_utf16()/*_is_utf32() probes compared a raw multibyte literal
against an escape-based one to detect a compiler that misreads the
source file's encoding; with no raw literals left to misread, the
comparison is now tautological, so drop the probes and the "if"
guards around each SECTION's body instead of leaving them in as dead
checks.
The same non-ASCII-in-source-and-in-a-narrow-comparison pattern
existed once more in unit-deserialization.cpp's "Using _json with
char8_t literals #4945" test: a raw emoji character in a u8R"(...)"
literal, guarded by a check_utf8() that returned false for ICC (same
reason) and for Windows without the active UTF-8 code page. Rewrite
the literal with a \U escape and compare it against a \x-escaped
expectation instead of a second raw literal, and drop check_utf8()
and the now-unused <windows.h> include along with the guard.
Verified locally (clang, -std=c++11 and -std=c++20,
-fsanitize=address,undefined, and a plain build): test-wstring keeps
18/18 assertions and unit-deserialization keeps 466/466 (c++11) and
477/477 (c++20) assertions, matching this branch before the change
exactly - no coverage was gained or lost, only the source-encoding
dependency was removed. ci_icpc has to confirm classic ICC actually
builds and passes test-wstring now; if it does not, that is a real
finding, not a reason to restore the guard.
Overlaps #5704 (open), which edits unit-wstring.cpp inside the
previously-guarded region (an include near the top, checks in the
invalid-string sections, and a new section at the end).

* Share the diagnostic-position setter of the DOM SAX parsers
json_sax_dom_parser and json_sax_dom_callback_parser each had a private
copy of handle_diagnostic_positions_for_json_value(), identical except
for comments. Move the body into one static member function,
detail::diagnostic_positions::set_from_lexer(value, lexer), which both
classes call with their lexer pointer. basic_json befriends the new
struct (only when JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS is enabled), as the position
members are private.
The discarded case is reached through the callback parser, so the
LCOV_EXCL markers that only the dom parser's copy had are gone. The
NOLINT on the unreachable default case loses the stray
"-warnings-as-errors", which is not a check name.

scan_number_bulk_contiguous() converts integers itself, so the shortcut

JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS, or when the bulk scanner falls back.
Rewrite both comments to describe the digit-count check in front of
convert_integer(), keeping the 18-digit bound and the json_sax_acceptor

* List the UTF-8 validators instead of calling the DFA the only one
The documentation of decode() called the Hoehrmann DFA the single

and by is_valid_utf8() (CBOR/MessagePack/BSON/UBJSON/BJData text
strings). The lexer's scan_string() switch, validate_one_utf8() /
valid_utf8_prefix() (bulk string scan, BON8 bulk path and BON8 writer)
and the BON8 byte path in get_bon8_string() check the RFC 3629 ranges
on their own.
Replace the sentence with a list of the four validators, what each is
used for, and a note that they must accept the same sequences. Sharing
code between them was considered and dropped: it would save a few lines
in a validator that is entangled with BON8 pushback, and #5677 is
editing the BON8 byte path.

std::numeric_limits without including <limits>. Also corrected
comments that no longer matched the code: input_stream_adapter does
not skip the input's BOM (the lexer's skip_bom() does), the
span_input_adapter comment named the no-longer-existing
input_buffer_adapter type, lexer::get_string() does not reset the
token, binary_reader's get_number() doc opened with /* instead of
/*! (so Doxygen skipped it) and omitted BON8 from its endianness
note, and the UBJSON-binary-types note did not mention that BJData
'B' arrays are read as binary.

* Deduplicate the strict-EOF/release_lookahead/error block in parser::parse()
json_sax_dom_callback_parser and json_sax_dom_parser branches of
parser::parse() ran the same ~25 lines after sax_parse_internal():
the strict-mode EOF check (raising parse_error.101 through the SAX
parser), release_lookahead() in non-strict mode, and mapping an
errored SAX parser to a discarded result. The two copies had already
drifted apart in formatting and in the second copy's "see above"
comment.
Add a private parse_dom(DomSax&, strict) member that runs this shared
sequence once and returns whether the SAX parser did not error; both
branches of parse() now only construct their DOM SAX parser, call
parse_dom(), and (for the callback parser) map a discarded top-level
value to null. sax_parse() is left untouched, since it only runs the
EOF check and release_lookahead() when sax_parse_internal() succeeded,
unlike parse(), which runs them unconditionally.

* Share the code point to UTF-8 encoding between the wide-string helpers and the lexer
The 1/2/3/4-byte UTF-8 encoding ladder was written out by hand three
times: in wide_string_input_helper<..., 4>::fill_buffer() for a UTF-32
code point, in the UTF-16 helper for both a BMP code unit and a valid
surrogate pair, and in the lexer's \uXXXX/\uXXXX\uYYYY handling. The
copies had drifted: the UTF-32 helper masked the leading bits of each
byte (& 0x1Fu, & 0x0Fu, & 0x07u) where the others relied on the shift
alone, even though both give the same result for a code point that is
already known to be in range.
Add detail::encode_utf8(cp, out) in string_utils.hpp, a single encoder
that invokes a callable once per output byte, most significant byte
first. Use it in the three valid-code-point branches (UTF-32 code
points up to U+10FFFF, UTF-16 code units outside the surrogate range,
and valid UTF-16 surrogate pairs) and in the lexer's \u handling, where
out forwards to add(). The UTF-16 helper's deliberate pass-through of
malformed surrogate units and the UTF-32 helper's 0xFF sentinel for
code points above U+10FFFF are untouched, since neither reaches the new
helper.
Behavior-preserving: same bytes in the same order for every valid code
point, verified with unit-class_lexer, unit-class_parser,
unit-deserialization, unit-wstring and the non-test-data parts of
unit-unicode1..5 (ASan/UBSan, C++11/17/20), and an escape-heavy parse
microbenchmark that shows no change (about 73 ms either way, median of

* Share scalar serialization between dump_internal and dump_value
dump_value()'s cases for string, binary, boolean, number_integer,
number_unsigned, number_float, discarded and null were a byte-for-byte
copy of dump_internal()'s (added together in #5285 for the iterative

Write the three bytes directly instead. serializer.hpp compiles
standalone with -Wall -Wextra -Werror, with and without

A nonnull attribute on a definition lets GCC and Clang assume the

and floating-point conversion via "%g" (IEEE-754 types go through
to_chars, others through snprintf). dump_value()'s comment said

`x < 0 && x < (std::numeric_limits<number_integer_t>::max)()) `with a
NOLINT(misc-redundant-expression) to hide it; the second conjunct is
always true once x < 0, and has been since 6ce2f35ba (2019), so
reduce the assert to `x < 0` and drop the suppression instead of
masking it.
Both are documentation-only changes to assertions/suppressions, not
behavior. The to_chars.hpp `#if 0` branch this item also flagged is
left alone, next to draft PR #5634's pending hunk.

Hoehrmann's UTF-8 decoder, but the decoder (decode() and the utf8d

* Stop calling std::localeconv() on every dump()
The serializer constructor snapshotted std::localeconv() into a
locale_chars member on every dump(), even though the only reader is
dump_float(number_float_t, std::false_type)'s snprintf path, taken
only for a number_float_t that is neither IEEE single nor double.
localeconv() is not required to be thread-safe with setlocale(), so
every dump() paid for and raced on a lookup that almost never mattered.
Remove locale_chars and the locale member. Right before the
thousands-separator/decimal-point fixups in the snprintf path, read
std::localeconv() into local thousands_sep/decimal_point variables
(null-checked, first byte only, as before) - the same way
lexer::get_decimal_point() already does since #5597. Output is
unchanged unless the locale changes during a single dump(); in that
case the fixups now match what snprintf just produced, instead of a
value snapshotted before the call.
Overlaps draft PR #5608, which touches the same constructor and
dump_float() lines to move this code into a new
dump_float_snprintf(); this lands the lookup change now as #5709 asks,
and #5608 can do the lookup inside dump_float_snprintf() when it
rebases.
Verification: the full json_test_data corpus (742 files, dump(),
dump(4) and dump(-1,' ',true)) is byte-identical to before the change
under the C locale. Added a test pinning the new per-conversion
lookup: it switches LC_NUMERIC mid-dump() (via a streambuf that
switches on its first write, after the serializer's write buffer has
been flushed once but before a later float is converted) and checks
the decimal point is still normalized using the locale active at
conversion time. On a platform where long double is IEEE-754 double
(e.g. 64-bit Arm), dump_float() takes the locale-independent
to_chars() path and the test is a no-op there; it is meaningful on a
platform where long double is extended precision (most x86 targets).

* Diff deeply nested values without recursing per nesting level
diff() descended into both values once per nesting level, and compared
them with operator== on every level on the way, which recurses as well.
Values nested deeply enough - 25,000 levels on an 8 MiB stack - exhausted
the call stack and terminated the process, although parse() accepts
them without complaint. On such a chain the per-level comparisons and
path strings also made diff() quadratic in time and memory.
Both the recursion and operator== only descend as far as the source is
nested. So diff() first checks, recursing at most diff_depth_limit()
(128) levels, whether the source is nested more deeply than that. If not
- all but a vanishing minority of values - the recursive algorithm
diffs it exactly as before, now as diff_recursively(). Otherwise
diff_iteratively() walks the two values on an explicit stack, emitting
the same operations in the same order. It does not compare arrays and
objects with operator== up front (equal ones yield no operations
anyway), keeps the path in one buffer instead of a new string per
level, and hands every subtree that is not nested too deeply back to
diff_recursively(), so equal parts are still skipped quickly.
The check costs one pass over the source. On a 3,000-object document
that is about 30% of diffing two equal values (which is just an
operator== call), about 10% of diffing values that differ in a few
places, and noise when arrays change length. Once operator== no longer
recurses (#5390), the check can go.
Tests check that the patch reproduces the target at every depth up to
300, for json and ordered_json, including reordered members. They also
check the exact operation for a difference deep inside, and diff values
nested 100,000 levels deep.
Fixes#5393 for diff().

* Make diff_frame a member struct that declares its special members
GCC's -Weffc++ (an error in CI) asks a class with pointer members, a
user constructor and a non-trivial destructor to declare its copy
constructor and copy assignment; diff_frame's vector and basic_json
members make its destructor non-trivial. Declare all five as defaulted,
which also satisfies clang-tidy's special-member-functions check. Leave
their exception specifications implicit: GCC 4.8 rejects an explicit
one that differs from the implicit one, as it does for flatten_task in
#5517.
The converting constructor cannot throw, and is now declared noexcept
for GCC's -Wnoexcept, which flags the emplace_back() under C++26
otherwise. The struct also moves from diff_iteratively() into the class,
like dump_frame in the serializer.

Now that operator== no longer recurses (#5390), diff() can keep its per-level

detail::recursion_depth_limit() levels, as merge_patch() does, and hands
anything deeper to diff_iteratively(). The nesting_exceeds() scan, which
cost about 30% on equal documents, is gone, and diff() is on par with
develop again.

* Keep diff()'s recursive levels small and its result elided
diff_recursively built every patch operation in place from initializer
lists. Unoptimized builds give each of those temporaries its own stack
slot, so every level of the bounded descent cost kilobytes of stack
(about 6 KB with clang -O0), and the 128 recursive levels overflowed the
1 MB stack of MSVC Debug in the "deeply nested values" test. The
operations and the key comparison of two objects are now built by
separate functions, which diff_iteratively shares, and both diff
functions append to one result instead of returning a patch per level
that the caller copies. With clang -O0, diffing values nested 300 levels
deep now peaks at about 190 KB of stack instead of 880 KB.
Since diff() now owns the only returned value, clang's -Wnrvo no longer
reports the returns of diff_recursively, which alternated between the
local patch and diff_iteratively's result.

* Copy the diff frame's members instead of holding a reference to it
The loop in diff_iteratively held a reference to the top frame, which
enter() invalidates when it pushes and the end of the loop invalidates
when it pops. Nothing used it afterwards, but a later change could. As in
the other iterative walks, the members the loop reads are now copied out
as constants and the ones it advances are changed through stack.back().
The frame as a whole is not copied: it holds the common keys and the
"add" operations of an object.

* Fix ci_test_clang_libcxx_cxx* jobs silently building without warnings
CMake only seeds CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS from the CXXFLAGS environment variable

argument made it ignore CXXFLAGS="${CLANG_CXXFLAGS}" entirely. The six
ci_test_standards_clang (..., libcxx) jobs therefore compiled without
-Weverything/-Werror while their libstdc++ siblings did use them.
Pass -stdlib=libc++ through the same CXXFLAGS value instead of a separate
-D argument, and give the target its own build directory
(build_clang_libcxx_cxx${CXX_STANDARD}) so it no longer shares a CMake
cache with the libstdc++ variant. Suppress the resulting
-Wthread-safety-negative finding from libc++'s std::mutex annotations,
which fires on doctest's reporters in this translation unit only.

ci_clang_analyze ran scan-build without --status-bugs, so the job
passed whenever the ninja build succeeded, no matter what the
analyzer found ("No bugs found" in a green run gave no signal either
way). It is also missing --use-analyzer=${CLANG_TOOL}, so scan-build
picks whichever clang happens to be first on PATH inside the
silkeh/clang:dev container instead of the one this file already
selected and versioned.
Add --status-bugs and --use-analyzer=${CLANG_TOOL} to the scan-build
invocation. While here, drop the osx.*, webkit.*, fuchsia.*, and
optin.mpi.* checkers from CLANG_ANALYZER_CHECKS: none of them apply
to this portable C++ library, and leaving them enabled only adds
noise once the job can actually fail on a finding.
The job is currently clean (0 bugs), so this alone does not surface
any new finding; it only makes the existing "no bugs found" result
authoritative. This is 4a of 3 independent steps in #5715 item 4;
4b (Infer) and 4c (IWYU) still need their existing findings triaged

* Deduplicate the amalgamation/format check's file set and add BUILD.bazel (#5715 item 5)
The amalgamation/format check existed three times with three different
file sets: the Makefile's pretty/check-amalgamation, the pull_request-only
check_amalgamation.yml workflow, and the ci_test_amalgamation CMake target
that also runs on direct pushes to develop/master/release/*. The CMake
target's glob was a strict subset of the workflow's (missing the
docs/mkdocs/docs/examples/*.hpp headers, tests/abi/, tests/cmake_*/project/,
tests/cuda_example/, tests/fmt_formatter/, and tests/module_cpp20/), and it
never checked BUILD.bazel at all, so a misformatted file in any of those
paths, or a stale BUILD.bazel, could reach develop through a direct push
even though the PR-only workflow would have caught it.
Make ci_test_amalgamation glob the same roots (docs/mkdocs/docs/examples,
include, tests) and extensions (*.hpp, *.cpp, *.cu) as check_amalgamation.yml,
excluding tests/thirdparty/ and tests/abi/include/nlohmann/ the same way, and
regenerate and diff BUILD.bazel next to json.hpp/json_fwd.hpp. Also add
docs/mkdocs/docs/examples/*.hpp to the Makefile's pretty/pretty_format
targets, which were missing the four custom_*_type.hpp example headers, and
drop the stale "called by Travis" comment on check-amalgamation (Travis is
gone; nothing currently calls that Makefile target from CI).
Leaves the workflow itself untouched: it deliberately runs amalgamate.py
from a fresh develop checkout so a PR cannot change the tool that checks it.
Overlaps #5610 and #5621, which each add a new amalgamated header and touch
the same INDENT_FILES/ci_test_amalgamation/check_amalgamation.yml hunks.
Verified with `make check-amalgamation` on this branch: clean, no diff.

* Download prebuilt CMake binaries on Linux x86_64 instead of building from source (#5715 item 6)
ci_get_cmake() downloaded the source tarball of CMake 3.5.0, 3.31.6, and
4.0.0 and compiled each one completely (including CMake's own test
helpers) with -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 as a workaround for
building old CMake with a newer one. On CI this made the
ci_cmake_options (ci_cmake_flags) job take about 11 minutes, most of it
spent building CMake itself, even though Kitware has published
ready-to-run Linux x86_64 archives for all three of these releases
since 3.20 (lowercase platform name).
On Linux x86_64, download and unpack the prebuilt
cmake-<version>-linux-x86_64.tar.gz archive instead and point the
existing ${var} output at its bin/cmake, skipping the configure/build
steps and CMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM entirely. Keep the previous
source build as a fallback for any other platform (macOS, Linux
aarch64), since Kitware does not publish binaries for every
CMake/platform combination this project might build on.
Verify the downloaded archive against Kitware's own published checksum
before unpacking it: download cmake-<version>-SHA-256.txt alongside the
archive and run `sha256sum -c` on the matching line. A CI job that wgets
and untars a binary from a release page with no integrity check is a
supply-chain gap; Kitware has published this file for every release
since 3.20, so checking it costs one extra download and one grep.
As a separate, mechanical change: the ci_cmake_options job's container
only needed to stay on ubuntu:focal for the source build's
libssl-dev dependency and its own aging toolchain; now that the
Linux/x86_64 path never compiles CMake, drop libssl-dev from its apt
install line and move the job to ubuntu:24.04 (Ubuntu 20.04 left
standard support in May 2025). ci_clean already removes the
cmake-3.5.0/cmake-3.31.6/cmake-4.0.0 directories from the #5715 item 3
fix, and the prebuilt path reuses those same directory names, so no
further cleanup changes are needed.
Overlaps #5598, which edits the same ci_cmake_options matrix line in
ubuntu.yml; a rebase may be needed once that lands.
Verified locally: `cmake -S . -B build -DJSON_CI=On` configures cleanly
on macOS/arm64 (source-build fallback branch) and on Linux/x86_64 in an
ubuntu:24.04 Docker container (47 `ci_cmake_flag_*` targets generated,
one built and run successfully); `.github/workflows/ubuntu.yml` still
parses as valid YAML; downloaded the real v3.31.6 Linux x86_64 archive
and SHA-256 file from Kitware and confirmed the `grep | sha256sum -c`
pipeline both accepts the genuine file and is anchored to the exact
filename (not a prefix match).
CI must confirm: the prebuilt-binary path actually runs on the
ubuntu-latest/ubuntu:24.04 x86_64 runner, all `ci_cmake_options`
entries still pass with the new container's GCC, and the job's
runtime drops from roughly 11 minutes.

* Make Infer fail on findings, with a type-level baseline for the ~174 pre-existing ones (#5715 item 4b)
ci_infer ran `infer run` without --fail-on-issue, so the job passed
regardless of what Pulse found; the last recorded run (35829411620,
commit 1054b2097) logged "Found 174 issues" and still went green.
report.txt was also never uploaded, so the full finding list was only
ever visible in the truncated 5-issue console excerpt.
Add a repository-root .inferconfig (auto-discovered by Infer; passing
--project-root on the `infer run` invocation makes sure it is found
even though the analysis runs from build/build_infer) that sets
fail-on-issue and disables the six PULSE issue types that made up all
174 findings in that run: PULSE_UNNECESSARY_COPY_ASSIGNMENT (129),
PULSE_UNNECESSARY_COPY (22), PULSE_UNNECESSARY_COPY_INTERMEDIATE (15),
PULSE_RESOURCE_LEAK (5), PULSE_CONST_REFABLE (2), and
PULSE_UNNECESSARY_COPY_OPTIONAL (1).
This is a deliberate, narrower fix than "triage and fix everything in
this PR": the visible sample is entirely doctest-macro copies in test
code (for example tests/src/unit-algorithms.cpp:141 and
tests/src/unit-bjdata.cpp:3706), but 169 of the 174 findings were never
uploaded anywhere and this PR cannot respectably claim to have fixed
issues it never saw, including the resource-leak and const-refable
ones that are the most likely to be genuine bugs. Disabling by issue
type is a coarser baseline than a per-finding one (Infer has no
built-in per-finding baseline short of the two-run `infer reportdiff`
workflow, which this repository does not have the CI infrastructure
for), but it has the same effect today: the job goes from always green
to green-only-when-clean-of-everything-else, so CI now fails the
moment a *new* issue type appears, and report.txt is uploaded as a
workflow artifact on every run (including failures) so the six
disabled types can be triaged and re-enabled incrementally in follow-up
PRs.
#5715 item 4b. 4a (scan-build) and 4c (IWYU) are handled in separate
commits.
Verified: .inferconfig parses as JSON, ubuntu.yml still parses as
YAML. Infer itself is not available in this environment (v1.3.0 tar.xz
requires a Linux x86_64 runner), so CI must confirm that `infer run
--project-root ... -- make` picks up .inferconfig, that fail-on-issue
takes effect, and that the six disabled types actually suppress the
existing findings without also hiding an unrelated new one.

* Fix IWYU findings for json.hpp/json_fwd.hpp/ordered_map.hpp and make CI fail on new ones (#5715 item 4c)
ci_single_binaries ran IWYU via CMake's CXX_INCLUDE_WHAT_YOU_USE launcher
property, which only printed "Warning: include-what-you-use reported
diagnostics" without failing the build: CMake's own __run_co_compile
wrapper does not propagate the launched tool's exit code, so even
`-Xiwyu --error` could never fail `cmake --build` this way. Verified
this empirically by injecting a deliberately-unused #include and
confirming the build still exited 0.
Fix the findings from the last recorded run (issue #5715 item 4, log
35829411620):
- ordered_map.hpp: add <new> (placement new) and
nlohmann/detail/abi_macros.hpp; drop <memory> (std::allocator is
still visible transitively via <vector>, confirmed by full local and
containerized test suite runs).
- json_fwd.hpp: drop <memory> (same reasoning). Keep every forward
declaration IWYU wanted removed (adl_serializer, basic_json,
json_pointer, ordered_map): this file's only job is to forward-declare
them for downstream users, so "nothing in this TU uses them" is
expected, not a real finding. Mark each with `// IWYU pragma: keep`.
- json.hpp: add <cmath>, <cstdint>, <set>, <type_traits>,
<unordered_map>, and the detail/abi_macros.hpp, detail/input/json_sax.hpp,
detail/meta/detected.hpp, thirdparty/hedley/hedley.hpp includes IWYU
says it needs. Do NOT remove adl_serializer.hpp,
detail/conversions/from_json.hpp, detail/conversions/to_json.hpp,
detail/macro_unscope.hpp, or ordered_map.hpp as IWYU suggests: nothing
else in include/nlohmann includes adl_serializer.hpp or
ordered_map.hpp, so basic_json<>'s own default template arguments
(JSONSerializer = adl_serializer, and ordered_json = basic_json<ordered_map>)
would lose their complete type; detail/macro_unscope.hpp is what
undoes the JSON_* macros detail/macro_scope.hpp defines earlier in
this same file, and removing it leaks those macros into every
translation unit that includes <nlohmann/json.hpp>. Verified by
actually removing them in a scratch test: the header still "compiles"
stand-alone but ordered_json and every macro-using translation unit
break. Marked each `// IWYU pragma: keep`.
Enforce it with `iwyu_tool` (ships with IWYU, e.g. as /usr/bin/iwyu_tool
on Debian/Ubuntu) instead of relying on the launcher property: it reads
compile_commands.json (now exported project-wide under JSON_CI) and
does return a real exit code for its own analysis, independent of
CMake's wrapper. ci_single_binaries now runs it over every
src_single/*.cpp with `-Xiwyu --error`, so a *new* finding fails CI.
json.hpp itself is excluded from that hard gate: even after every fix
above, IWYU's suggestion for one remaining symbol (a container
`swap, operator!=` used somewhere via a templated comparator) is not
deterministic — repeated, otherwise-identical containerized runs
reported <set>, then <unordered_map>, then <map> as "the" header to
add/remove for the exact same source. Gating a whole CI job on a
nondeterministic suggestion would make ci_single_binaries flaky rather
than informative, so json.hpp keeps the existing informational warning
(still shown during its normal compile) without failing the build on
it. Every other one of the ~50 single-header checks is included in the
hard gate.
#5715 item 4c. 4a (scan-build) and 4b (Infer) are separate commits.
Verified: full local ctest suite (129/129) and the ci_single_binaries
target itself both green in a containerized silkeh/clang:dev run
(matching the actual CI job) after this fix; a deliberately-reintroduced
unused #include in ordered_map.hpp was confirmed to fail
`cmake --build ... --target ci_single_binaries` (exit 2) with this
change, and to pass without it, on the same container/IWYU version CI
uses. `make check-amalgamation` is clean. Compiled with Clang and GCC
at -std=c++11/14/17/20 locally with no new warnings.

The doc block of write_number() ended up above the byte_swap() helpers

write_bson() documented "@pre j.type() == value_t::object", but it

Explain why the CBOR binary subtype is always written with a 0xD8..0xDB
head and never in the one-byte tag form: binary_reader with
cbor_tag_handler_t::store only keeps those heads as a subtype, so
switching to write_cbor_head() would break round trips for subtypes
0..23.

* Merge the duplicated UBJSON/BJData integer marker ladders
write_number_with_ubjson_prefix() (unsigned and signed overloads) and
ubjson_prefix() (number_integer and number_unsigned cases) each picked
the UBJSON/BJData integer marker (i, U, I, u, l, m, L, M, H) with their
own independent if/else ladder, and the values beyond 64 bits were
handled by a second, tag-dispatched pair of ladders. An optimized
container announces the marker of its first element via ubjson_prefix()
and then writes every element through write_number_with_ubjson_prefix(),
so the two had to be kept in lockstep by hand across four call sites.
Replace all of that with one ubjson_integer_prefix() built on
value_in_range_of<T>, and one write_ubjson_integer_payload() that
writes the value (or, for 'H', the decimal digits) for a given marker.
write_number_with_ubjson_prefix() and ubjson_prefix() keep their

* Remove dead get_char parameters in binary_reader
The non-recursive rewrite of the binary readers (#5505, #5506, #5507)
left parse_cbor_internal()'s and parse_ubjson_internal()'s get_char
parameters dead: parse_cbor_internal() has one caller and it always
passes true, and parse_ubjson_internal() has one caller and it always
uses the true default. Both parameters, and the @param docs describing
the "reuse the last character" mode they used to select, no longer
correspond to anything.
Drop both parameters, initialise fetch/prefix unconditionally, and
update the two call sites in sax_parse(). parse_cbor_value()'s and
get_ubjson_string()'s own get_char parameters are unrelated and are
left alone; both still have a false caller.
Also delete a stray `@return whether a valid MessagePack value was
passed to the SAX parser` doxygen block that sits directly above
parse_msgpack_value()'s real doc comment, a leftover of the same
rewrite.
Behavior, the public API and the ABI are unchanged; these are private
members of detail::binary_reader. Verified by compiling with
-Wunused-parameter and running unit-cbor, unit-ubjson, unit-bjdata and
unit-msgpack (offline, against the stubbed test_data.hpp).

* Share the IEEE half-precision decoder between CBOR and BJData
binary_reader had two ~45-line copies of the IEEE 754 half-precision
decoder: CBOR's case 0xF9 and BJData's case 'h'. Once formatting is
normalised, the two blocks were identical except for the byte order
used to assemble the 16-bit half (CBOR is big endian, BJData is little
endian). Any future change to half-float decoding had to be made and
kept in sync in both places.
Add one get_half_float(format, little_endian) helper that does the two
get()/unexpect_eof() reads, assembles the half in the requested byte
order, decodes it per RFC 8949 Appendix D, and calls sax->number_float.
Both cases now just call it with their byte order; the BJData case
keeps its bjdata-only guard.
Behavior, the public API and the ABI are unchanged. Verified with a
scratch probe comparing the old and new decoders bit-for-bit (NaN by
isnan()) over all 65536 wire byte pairs, in both formats, and by
running unit-cbor and unit-bjdata (offline, against the stubbed
test_data.hpp).

* Deduplicate the MessagePack unsigned-integer writer ladder
The number_integer (non-negative branch) and number_unsigned cases in
write_msgpack() each held their own copy of the fixint/uint8/16/32/64
ladder, kept in lockstep only by a comment ("we used the code from the
value_t::number_unsigned case here"). Both copies mixed union members:
the signed copy compared number_unsigned but wrote number_integer, and
vice versa.
Extract write_msgpack_unsigned(std::uint64_t), mirroring how
write_cbor_head() already avoids the same duplication for CBOR, and
call it from both cases. Each case now reads only its own active
union member. Output bytes are unchanged for the default 64-bit
number types.

* Unify float marker selection and fix the long double compile error
Four formats picked between a float32 and float64 marker through four
different helper styles: dummy-argument overloads for CBOR and
MessagePack, an std::is_same template for BON8, and a runtime if-chain
on input_format_t for write_compact_float(). With number_float_t set
to long double, to_cbor, to_msgpack and to_ubjson failed inside the
library with "call to 'get_cbor_float_prefix' is ambiguous", while
to_bson kept working because write_bson_double() takes a plain double.
Change write_compact_float() to take the two marker bytes directly
(each of its three callers already knows them at compile time) instead
of an input_format_t it only forwarded, and delete the now-unused
get_cbor_float_prefix(), get_msgpack_float_prefix(),
get_bon8_float_prefix() and get_compact_float_prefix() helpers. Turn
the two get_ubjson_float_prefix() overloads into one template. Both
write_compact_float() and get_ubjson_float_prefix() now report an
unsupported number_float_t with a static_assert naming the requirement,
rather than an ambiguous-overload error; the assert lives in the
function body, not the class scope, so to_bson with long double is
unaffected.
Verified with a probe basic_json<..., long double>: to_bson still
compiles and round-trips, while to_cbor/to_msgpack/to_ubjson now fail
to compile with the new static_assert message.
This changes the text of an existing compile error for users with an
unsupported number_float_t (documented as a public-API-visible change
in #5710).

* Deduplicate the BJData ndarray writer's dtype dispatch and drop <map>
write_bjdata_ndarray() built a 12-entry std::map<string_t, CharType> on
every call just to translate the _ArrayType_ name to a dtype marker
(the only reason binary_writer.hpp included <map>), then mapped dtype
to C++ type twice more: once as a switch for the range-check pass and
once as a separate if/else chain for the write pass, with nothing
checking that the two agreed. The caller also ran three at() lookups,
and the callee called value.at(key) about ten more times for the same
three members.
Replace the map with bjdata_ndarray_type_marker(), a plain string
comparison chain (a C++11 constexpr function cannot contain a switch,
so this mirrors binary_reader's own static table style). Replace the
switch/if-chain pair with one write_bjdata_ndarray_elements() that
switches on dtype once and calls a per-type helper -
write_bjdata_ndarray_element<T>() for the eight integer dtypes and
write_bjdata_ndarray_float_element() for 'd' - with a dry_run flag
selecting the range check or the actual write, so the two passes can
no longer disagree on the type. _ArrayType_, _ArraySize_ and
_ArrayData_ are now looked up once into references, and the four
header marker bytes ('[', '$', '#') are written through to_char_type()
like the rest of the UBJSON/BJData writer.
The 'd' (single-precision) rule is left exactly as before, since #5707
is expected to change it separately.
Verified byte-for-byte identical output before/after for every dtype
(including the Draft 2/Draft 3 'byte' fallback and the use_count/
use_type combinations) via a standalone probe, plus round-tripping
through from_bjdata().
Overlaps #5707, which is expected to touch the 'd' dtype case, and
#5518, which is expected to move the write_bjdata_ndarray() call site.

* Assert that write_bson_document() consumes every calc_bson_sizes() entry
calc_bson_sizes() and write_bson_document() are a hand-synchronized
pair of passes over the same object/array tree, introduced by #5553:
the size pass appends to nested_sizes in visiting order, and the write
pass consumes the table by position with nested_sizes[next_size++].
Nothing checked that the write pass consumed the whole table. If a
future change touched only one of the two passes - for example to skip
or reject an entry - every later size prefix in the document would be
silently wrong.
Add JSON_ASSERT(next_size == nested_sizes.size()) where
write_bson_document() returns, so such a future drift between the two
passes is caught immediately (JSON_ASSERT expands to nothing in
release builds using assert(), and the fuzzers/tests already build
with it enabled). The two passes agree today, so this changes nothing
observable; it only guards against the risk described in #5710 item 5.
Extracting a shared stepper for the two passes (the second half of the
proposed change) is left for a follow-up: it only saves ~30 lines and
the issue asks for it only if the result reads clearly, which needs
more room to get right than a mechanical cleanup pass allows.

* Make the BJData lookup tables static functions instead of members
binary_reader held bjd_optimized_type_markers and bjd_types_map as
non-static const members (12 string_t objects for the type-name table),
built and destroyed on every from_cbor/from_msgpack/from_bson/
from_ubjson/from_bon8/from_bjdata call even though only from_bjdata
ever reads them. They also needed the #define/decltype/#undef
workaround from #3637 and two NOLINTNEXTLINE suppressions, and
binary_writer already carries the same two lists in another form
(is_bjdata_excluded_type_marker() and a local std::map in
write_bjdata_ndarray(), the latter removed by the item-4 commit), so
the excluded-marker lists could drift apart.
Replace bjd_optimized_type_markers with static constexpr
is_bjd_excluded_optimized_type(char_int_type), using the same ||-chain
as binary_writer's is_bjdata_excluded_type_marker(). Replace
bjd_types_map with a non-constexpr static bjd_type_name(char_int_type)
switch returning nullptr for an unknown marker (a C++11 constexpr
function cannot contain a switch). Delete both
JSON_BINARY_READER_MAKE_* macros, the bjd_type pair alias, the
NOLINTNEXTLINE suppressions, detail::make_array() (no longer used
anywhere), and the now-unused <algorithm> and <array> includes.
Update the two call sites (the ND-array excluded-type check and the
_ArrayType_ lookup) accordingly, and replace unit-bjdata.cpp's
"LUT arrays are sorted" section, which only checked the two tables'
internal ordering, with a check of all 12 type names and all 8
excluded markers against both new functions.

* Read CBOR's 1/2/4/8-byte argument through one helper
parse_cbor_internal() hand-wrote the same "read a 1/2/4/8-byte
big-endian unsigned integer" ladder four times over:
- twice for tag numbers 0xD8-0xDB, once in the tag_handler::ignore
branch and once, nearly identically, in the ::store branch (~90
lines to read one integer);
- twice more for container lengths, once for array heads 0x98-0x9B and
once for map heads 0xB8-0xBB, where the 1/2-byte forms called
enter_array()/enter_object() directly and the 4/8-byte forms
additionally went through get_cbor_container_size().
Add get_cbor_argument(std::uint64_t&), reading the width selected by
current & 0x1F via the same get_number() calls as before (so EOF is
reported exactly as before), and route all four sites through it:
- 0xD8-0xDB now read the argument once per branch instead of switching
on `current` a second time; behavior split cleanly from embedded tags
0xC0-0xD7 (tag value in the head, no argument to read), which is now
its own case block that no longer has to fall into the ::store
switch's "default" case to reach the same tag_pending = true; return
true; outcome.
- 0x98-0x9B and 0xB8-0xBB collapse into one case block each, always
going through get_cbor_container_size() (harmless for 1/2-byte
lengths, which already always fit).
Verified byte-for-byte identical behavior before/after with a
standalone probe covering embedded and multi-byte tags under all three
tag_handler_t settings, a tag over a byte string (subtype path),
truncated tag/length arguments of every width, and array/map lengths
of every width, including the out_of_range.408 "excessive size" case:
same exceptions, same messages, same chars_read, same successful
results.
Left the string/byte-string length ladders in get_cbor_string()/
get_cbor_binary() untouched, as noted in #5711 item 2, since #5325 is
expected to touch them separately.
Overlaps #5601 (adds a branch right above the embedded-tag case) and
#5607 (touches the integer cases 0x18-0x1B, which share this ladder's
shape in separate hunks).

* Add leave_container() to match enter_container()
Every container is opened through enter_container(), whose docs
promise that a check placed there runs before every start event. The
close side had no equivalent: the same
"container_stack.pop_back(); dispatch to end_object() or end_array()"
sequence was written out separately in BSON, CBOR, MessagePack,
UBJSON/BJData and BON8, each copying the pattern of keeping an
is_object flag around the pop_back() that would otherwise invalidate
a reference to it. A check needed on close would have had to be added
in five places, and a sixth copy could go unnoticed.
Add leave_container() next to enter_container(), doing the same
pop-then-dispatch, and replace the five sites with it. Each site keeps
its own surrounding logic (BSON's check_bson_document_size() call
before popping, MessagePack's is_object copy used again below,
UBJSON/BJData's remaining-container handling after popping, BON8's
top used again below); only the repeated pop/dispatch line pair is
now shared.
Verified all six binary-format unit suites and unit-regression2's
deep-nesting tests (dependent count/reuse count and the bjdata ndarray
depth cases) still pass, compiled with -Wall -Wextra and ASan/UBSan.

skip loop; that site can route through leave_container() too once it
lands.

* Stop passing the input format to sax_parse() when the reader already has it
binary_reader's constructor stores the format in the input_format
member, and sax_parse(format, sax_, strict, tag_handler) took the same
value again purely to dispatch on it. Every in-tree caller passed the
same value both times (all 16 from_cbor/from_msgpack/from_ubjson/
from_bjdata/from_bon8/from_bson call sites in json.hpp, and the three
public basic_json::sax_parse() overloads), so nothing was broken
today, but a caller of the detail class directly (only reachable via
JSON_PRIVATE_UNLESS_TESTED, as unit-bjdata.cpp already does) could
pass a mismatched pair - say bjdata to the constructor and ubjson to
sax_parse - and dispatch on one format while applying the other
format's rules; the default-constructed input_format_t::json reader
would additionally hit JSON_ASSERT(false) in exception_message() on
its first error.
Add sax_parse(json_sax_t*, bool, cbor_tag_handler_t) forwarding to the
existing overload with the stored input_format, and switch every
caller to it: the 16 from_*() sites (keeping their
`// cppcheck-suppress[accessMoved]` comments) and the three
basic_json::sax_parse() overloads, all of which already had the format
available from their own `format` parameter. The four-argument overload
is kept for anyone still calling it, now with
JSON_ASSERT(format == input_format) so a mismatch fails immediately
in a debug build (assert-enabled binaries, including the fuzzers and
test suite) instead of misbehaving; verified with a probe that
constructs a reader for one format and calls the explicit overload
with another, which aborts on that assertion as expected.
Removing or asserting against the constructor's input_format_t::json
default, which would affect direct detail users, is left as a separate
decision per #5711 item 5.
Overlaps #5601, which is expected to add an AllowRecovery template
parameter to sax_parse() and touch these same call sites in json.hpp.

* Deduplicate UBJSON/BJData signed-count handling, drop dead ndarray checks
get_ubjson_size_value()'s 'i'/'I'/'l'/'L' cases each read a differently
sized signed integer and then repeated the same "reject negative with
error 113" check; only 'L' additionally checked value_in_range_of for
the out_of_range.408 case. Any change to that error path had to be
made four times.
Add get_ubjson_signed_count<SignedType>(std::size_t&), doing the read,
the negative check and the range check once, and route all four
markers through it. The range check is a no-op for 'i'/'I'/'l' (their
values always fit std::size_t) and only live for 'L' on a 32-bit
std::size_t target, matching today's behavior exactly.
In the ndarray dimension-product loop, the preceding loop already
returns early on any zero dimension and result starts at 1, so `i > 0`
in the pre-multiplication overflow check was always true, and
`result == 0` in the post-multiplication check could not be reached
either: two positive factors whose product does not overflow (as the
pre-check already guarantees) cannot be zero. Drop the dead `i > 0 &&`
and narrow the post-check to `result == npos`, the one case the
pre-check cannot rule out (an exact, non-overflowing match with the
sentinel reserved for unknown-size containers), with a comment
explaining why.
Verified byte-for-byte identical behavior before/after with a
standalone probe covering negative counts for every marker, a matching
positive count, and ndarray inputs, plus the full unit-ubjson and
unit-bjdata suites (same assertion counts as before this change).

checks touched here) and #5607/#5707 (touch neighboring lines in the

check now runs as "make check_output -C docs".
- "pretty_format" ran clang-format on all sources, but .clang-format

"make pretty" applies and CI enforces.

- It asked for Python 2.7, but CI and the Makefile run the script
with python3.
- It told readers to run ./test.sh (not vendored) and install to
/usr/local/bin; in this repository the tool runs through
`make amalgamate`.
- Its usage synopsis showed `-v` taking no argument, but the script's
own argparser requires `choices=["yes", "no"]`, so that form fails
with "argument -v/--verbose: expected one argument". The Makefile
calls it as `--verbose=yes`.

* Derive generate_natvis.py's ABI tag list and version from abi_macros.hpp
generate_natvis.py hard-coded abi_tags = ['_diag', '_ldvcmp', '_dp',
'_bics', '_psp', '_snul'] and required --version on the command line.
The source of truth is include/nlohmann/detail/abi_macros.hpp: the
NLOHMANN_JSON_ABI_TAG_* defines, the argument order of
NLOHMANN_JSON_ABI_TAGS_CONCAT, and NLOHMANN_JSON_VERSION_MAJOR/MINOR/
PATCH. Nothing checked that the copies stayed in sync, and they have
drifted apart before: _dp was added in #4517 but missed here until
#5544, and 3.11.3 shipped json_abi_v3_11_2 namespaces (#4340).
Parse the tag list (in NLOHMANN_JSON_ABI_TAGS_CONCAT order) and the
version from abi_macros.hpp instead of hard-coding them. Make
--version optional (falling back to the parsed version) and default
the output directory to the repository root the script lives in.
Add a "natvis" Makefile target that runs the script, and extend
check-amalgamation to regenerate nlohmann_json.natvis and fail on a
diff, the same way it already does for the amalgamated headers and
BUILD.bazel. Wire the same regeneration into check_amalgamation.yml,
using the tool copy checked out from develop (as the workflow already
does for amalgamate.py) and installing jinja2 from
tools/generate_natvis/requirements.txt. Update the tool's README to
say it must be re-run after adding an ABI tag or bumping the version.
Verified: a run against develop produces no diff (with either the
default or an explicit --version 3.12.0); adding a dummy
NLOHMANN_JSON_ABI_TAG_* without a matching #define makes the script
fail loudly instead of silently omitting the tag; xmllint --noout
passes on the regenerated file; and running the script from a
directory other than the one being checked (simulating the workflow's
separate tool checkout) against this repository root also produces no
diff.

* Fix check_amalgamation.yml: pass --version to generate_natvis.py

tools/generate_natvis/generate_natvis.py and wired the workflow's new
"Regenerate nlohmann_json.natvis" step to call it without --version,
relying on the script deriving the version from abi_macros.hpp itself.
But NATVIS_TOOL_DIR is checked out from develop, the same way TOOL_DIR
already is for amalgamate.py, precisely so an in-flight PR's tooling
changes cannot mark themselves clean. Until this PR (or an equivalent)
merges to develop, that checkout is the old generate_natvis.py, whose
--version argument is still required=True. The new step's invocation
of "generate_natvis.py $MAIN_DIR" (no --version) then fails argparse
on this PR's own CI run with "the following arguments are required:
--version", before the check ever gets to compare output.
Extract the version from $MAIN_DIR's own abi_macros.hpp in the
workflow and always pass it as --version. That satisfies the old
script's required argument and is accepted as an explicit override by
the new one, so the step behaves the same whether NATVIS_TOOL_DIR holds
the pre- or post-merge tool, and stays correct for later PRs that bump
the version.
Verified by running the workflow step's shell logic locally against
both the pre-#5717 generate_natvis.py (checked out at 633de8e44) and

with nothing checking them: NLOHMANN_JSON_DOUBLE_PASTE (added by hand
in #4563 for the *_WITH_NAMES macros) and the 64-slot dispatch table of
NLOHMANN_JSON_TYPE_BODY (the #4041 zero-member/one-or-more-member
switch). Both tables pass one macro name per slot to the same
NLOHMANN_JSON_GET_MACRO dispatch as PASTE, so they can drift out of
sync with max_args exactly the way _dp did in the ABI tag list fixed
by #5544.
Extend main.cpp with build_double_paste_code() (same recursive-doubling
shape as build_paste_code(), but DOUBLE_PASTE consumes two arguments
per member, so an even slot index falls back to the next lower odd
DOUBLE_PASTE<N>) and build_type_body_table() (max_args - 1 MEMBERS
slots and one trailing EMPTY slot, 8 per line, matching how it is
written by hand today). Add a "type_body" argument that selects the
TYPE_BODY block, since it lives at a separate location in
macro_scope.hpp from the EXPAND..DOUBLE_PASTE63 block; plain invocation
is unchanged apart from covering the extended range. No longer emit
the tool's old trailing blank line, so its output is directly diffable
without post-processing.
Verified with c++ -std=c++11: running the tool (with and without
"type_body") and piping the raw output through the pinned astyle
reproduces both blocks of the current macro_scope.hpp byte for byte.
tests/src/unit-udt_macro.cpp (all NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_*/_WITH_NAMES/
zero-member variants) passes unchanged under -std=c++11 and -std=c++17
with -fsanitize=address,undefined.
Add a "macro_builder_check" Makefile target that builds main.cpp,
regenerates both blocks into a scratch directory inside the repository
(astyle's --project lookup needs the target files under the same tree
as .astylerc, unlike an external /tmp directory), and diffs them
against the corresponding ranges of macro_scope.hpp; wire it into
check-amalgamation next to the natvis check. Wire the same regeneration
into check_amalgamation.yml, splicing the (still unindented) generated
blocks back into the PR's own macro_scope.hpp before the existing
astyle/amalgamation step runs, so that step's own tree-wide astyle
pass both indents them and folds any drift into the amalgamation
patch/diff the workflow already produces.
Unlike amalgamate.py and generate_natvis.py, this step builds
tools/macro_builder/main.cpp from the pull request's own checkout
($MAIN_DIR) rather than a separate checkout of tools/ at develop: this
tool has no independent source of truth to regenerate against (its
README documents that it must reproduce macro_scope.hpp byte for
byte), so a develop-pinned copy would only reproduce the
generate_natvis.py trap fixed in a previous commit on this branch,
where a PR that teaches the tool to cover more of the file fails its
own CI until that PR merges and updates the develop copy.
Add tools/macro_builder/README.md documentation for both new tables
and the two-invocation usage, and a short pointer comment above
NLOHMANN_JSON_TYPE_BODY (the EXPAND pointer already covered the first
block; extended its wording to include DOUBLE_PASTE63).
Closes#5717 item 5 in full, completing what the documentation-only
"Document tools/macro_builder..." commit already on this branch left
open (that commit's README/pointer-comment half stands; it also covers
item 7).

* Fix stack overflow converting deep values between specializations
Constructing a basic_json from another specialization (json to
ordered_json or back, also via get<ordered_json>()) converted every
container with its range constructor, which calls the converting
constructor for each element. The call stack therefore grew with every
nesting level, and a value nested some 30,000 levels deep overflowed it.
The conversion now bounds its descent the way the copy constructor does
since #5387: the first 128 levels are converted exactly as before, and
below that convert_iteratively() finishes the value with an explicit
stack. It builds each container bottom-up from its converted elements
with the container's range constructor, so member order and keys that
become equal are handled as before, and it gives a value its type only
once its container exists, so an exception leaves nothing behind that
cannot be destroyed. Parents (JSON_DIAGNOSTICS) and positions
(JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS) are set for every value.
Converting a null value no longer resets its positions: the constructor
assigned null to a value that already was null, which swapped in the
positions of the temporary.
Fixes#5650.

basic_json_document<BasicJsonType, true> (json_editable_document,
ordered_json_editable_document) can be edited:
- set(view, value): replace a value
- set(object, key, value): assign a member, or add it (a null becomes an
object); with duplicate keys, the first is assigned and the others go
- set(array, index, value): assign an element
- set(json_pointer, value): the member, element, or ("-", or the size of
the array) the end of an array a pointer names
- push_back(array, value): append (a null becomes an array)
Values are views (of any document, copied), BasicJsonType values, and
everything BasicJsonType can be constructed from. The source text is never
written, and the parsed index never moves: new values and element
sequences go to storage owned by the document (edit_storage.hpp), so views
stay valid, and a view keeps referring to its value (after an assignment,
it sees the new one). Read-only documents are unchanged; editing one does
not compile.
Errors are those of basic_json where the operation corresponds
(type_error.305/308, out_of_range.401/403/405, parse_error.106/109); a view
of another document is invalid_iterator.202. Strings are checked for UTF-8
when they enter the document, with the type_error.316 that
basic_json::dump() throws for the same string, so that a document only
holds valid UTF-8. Binary values cannot be stored (the new
type_error.319), and edits of 4 GiB or more end with out_of_range.416.
Views of editable and read-only documents compare with each other.
Tests (unit-json_view_edit.cpp): random assignments, member and element
changes, copies within and between documents, and pushes, applied to an
ordered_json_editable_document and to the ordered_json value; after every
edit both must serialize (also indented and with ensure_ascii),
materialize, compare, and read back the same. Further: the errors, strings
that stay valid while the edit arena grows, numbers (NaN, infinities,
extremes; number_format::source), nulls that become containers, the root
replaced, duplicate keys, values of other documents, large objects, and
documents reused with read().

Preparation for editable documents, without a change in behavior: views and
documents get a template parameter Editable (false by default), and every
walk over the index (iterators, lookups, dump(), materialize()) goes
through detail::view::navigation<Editable>. For read-only documents it is
the plain node array, as before, so they compile without any of the edit
handling. For editable documents it also follows the representation of
edits, which this commit defines:
- node flags `edited` (a string or number token in the edit arena),
`moved` (the elements of an array/object live in a separate sequence),
and `is_new` (no source position), and link nodes (kind_link) that
stand for a value stored elsewhere
- document_data::edit_state: the moved sequences, the storage of new
values, and the edit arena
materialize() now keeps a frame per open container instead of returning
to the end of a closed one, as the serializer does, so that it can
follow moved sequences. Floats whose token lives in the edit arena (also
"nan", "inf", "-inf") are converted out of line. dump() copies only
strings of the source without escaping, and shrink_to_fit() leaves the
node array in place once there are edits, as they link into it.

Lookups in objects are linear, as for ordered_json. Objects with 128
members or more now get a hash table after parsing (open addressing; the
first of duplicate keys is kept, as for the linear search), so that
operator[], at(), find(), contains(), count(), value(), and JSON pointers
take constant time on average in them; the idea of switching to a hash
table for large objects is Boost.JSON's. The parser notes such objects when
it closes them (out of line, so that the parse loop only has a call for
it), and the object node keeps the number of its table.

Long runs of string bytes are scanned 16 at a time with NEON (AArch64, with

sets. A signed compare with 0x20 finds control characters and non-ASCII
bytes at once. Keys keep 16 table checks before the vector loop (their
lengths repeat from record to record, so the branches predict well);
string values have 8, as their lengths vary more.
Non-ASCII text is validated 16 bytes at a time with the "lookup4" check of
simdjson (J. Keiser and D. Lemire, "Validating UTF-8 In Less Than One

The parser records where the integer digits, the fraction digits, and the
exponent of a float token are. For floats and doubles with at most 19
digits, the value is now read from that layout: the digits eight at a time,
without scanning the token, and rounded by the library's conversion core
(detail::decimal_to_float(): Clinger's fast path where both operands are
exact, else the Eisel-Lemire algorithm, which needs no fallback for up to 19
digits). It rounds correctly, so the values are those of parse(); other
tokens and types keep the library's conversion of the whole token.

basic_json_view gains operator== and operator!= with other views and with
basic_json values. Two views are equal if the values parse() would
produce for them are equal by basic_json's operator==: numbers compare by
value across their types, and objects by their members, with duplicate
keys resolved as parse() resolves them (the last value, at the position of
the first key). Objects are compared in member order if the object type
keeps an order (ordered_json), by key otherwise, as basic_json does.
Discarded views compare as discarded basic_json values do, which follows
JSON_USE_LEGACY_DISCARDED_VALUE_COMPARISON. Nothing is materialized except
single numbers, and the walk is iterative.
Tests compare the results for pairs of 1,200 generated documents (also

member order, discarded values, and 100,000 levels of nesting.

With number_format::source, numbers are copied as they appear in the
source ("1.50", "1E2", "-0", all digits of long integers). operator<<
takes the indentation from the stream width, as for basic_json.
The writer (detail/view/serializer.hpp) writes through a raw pointer into
a string sized from the source extent of the value, and walks the index
iteratively, so the nesting depth is limited by memory only.
Tests compare the output of 2,000 generated documents with
ordered_json::dump() for several indentations and ensure_ascii, strings
with every kind of escape, numbers (5,000 random doubles, float as
number_float_t), duplicate keys, 100,000 levels of nesting, and streams.
ViewDump joins the benchmarks.

basic_json_view gains get<T>(), get_to(), value() with keys and JSON
pointers, and operator[], at(), and contains() with JSON pointers, plus
two functions basic_json has no counterpart for:
- get_string(): the string without a copy (a string_view into the source,
or into the decoded strings for strings with escapes)
- number_token(): the text of a number as it appears in the source
get<T>() converts arithmetic types, strings (also string_view_t),
std::nullptr_t, std::vector, maps with string keys, and views directly;
floats are converted from the digit layout recorded by the parser with the
library's conversion chain, so the values are bit-identical to parse().
Other types, including user types with from_json(), go through
materialize().
The exceptions are those of basic_json, message included. Where const
basic_json has undefined behavior (a missing key or an index out of range
with operator[] and a JSON pointer), the result is a discarded view;
value() returns the default wherever basic_json catches out_of_range, and
contains() never throws. Array indices of JSON pointers follow
json_pointer's rules (parse_error.106/109, out_of_range.404/410).
Tests compare the conversions of 2,000 generated documents, 20,000 float
tokens (double and float, bit for bit), and every JSON pointer of 1,000
documents with basic_json, and the exceptions for malformed pointers.

basic_json_view gains the read-only access functions of basic_json:
operator[] and at() with keys and indices, front(), back(), find(),
contains(), count(), begin()/end(), items() (with structured bindings from
C++17 on), and type_name(). They throw the exceptions (ids and messages)
that the const functions of basic_json throw; where basic_json has
undefined behavior (operator[] with a missing key or an index out of
range, front()/back() of an empty container), the view returns a
discarded view or throws invalid_iterator.214.
Objects are iterated in document order, and all members are visited. With
duplicate keys, lookups find the first member, so that a lookup can stop
at the first match; parse() keeps the last value. Keys of up to 16 bytes
are compared with two overlapping loads instead of memcmp, and most keys
are rejected by their length alone, from the index.
The iterators and items live in detail/view/iterator.hpp, the lookups in
detail/view/lookup.hpp. Tests compare every element and member of 2,000
generated documents with ordered_json, keys of every length around the
load sizes, the exceptions against const basic_json, and the iterators.

* Add JSON_DISABLE_TUPLE_REFERENCE_CONVERSION to fix std::tuple conversions
basic_json can be constructed from std::tuple<json&>, which it turns into
a one-element array. Because of this, std::tuple picks its converting
constructor that converts the whole source tuple instead of the
element-wise one. As a result, std::tuple<const json&> built from
std::forward_as_tuple(j) binds to a temporary (a compile error with libc++,
a dangling reference with other standard libraries), and std::tuple<json>
built the same way holds [j] instead of a copy of j.
The new opt-in macro JSON_DISABLE_TUPLE_REFERENCE_CONVERSION (CMake option
JSON_DisableTupleReferenceConversion) removes the conversion from a
one-element tuple holding a reference to the same basic_json type, so
std::tuple converts element-wise. It is off by default, so existing
behavior is unchanged. It does not change any function body and therefore
is not part of the ABI tag.
Fixes#2226

* Convert one-element tuples to arrays on every compiler
to_json for std::tuple assigns a braced list, j = { std::get<Idx>(t)... }.

treat j = {x} as a copy of x, so std::tuple<json>{true} became true

checks in unit-disable-tuple-reference-conversion and unit-regression2.
The one-element overload that already handles
JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS builds the array (or object, for a
[string, value] element) explicitly, the same way the initializer-list
constructor does. Use it unconditionally. The output is unchanged on
compilers that already wrapped the element.

* Skip json reference tuple tests on clang < 4 and GCC < 5
ci_test_compilers_gcc_old (4.8) and ci_test_compilers_clang (3.4) could
not compile the new tuple tests. Creating a std::tuple of basic_json
references, e.g. std::forward_as_tuple(j), makes these compilers
instantiate basic_json's conversion operator for libstdc++'s internal
tuple bases, which fails hard. This happens with and without
JSON_DISABLE_TUPLE_REFERENCE_CONVERSION, so it is a limitation of these
compilers, not of the new option.
Tested with the CI images: clang 3.4 to 3.9 and GCC 4.8 and 4.9 fail,
clang 4, 5, and 6 and GCC 5 and 6 compile all cases. Skip only the
checks that create such tuples; the is_constructible checks still run.

The builder parses JSON text in one pass into the node index: strings and
numbers stay in the source (escaped strings are decoded into an arena),
integers are converted while their digits are in cache, and floats keep
their digit layout for a later conversion. It accepts exactly what
json::parse accepts, for every combination of comments and trailing commas,
with and without a terminating NUL, and with JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING.
Parse state lives in a local cursor whose address never escapes, so that it
stays in registers; out-of-line helpers (errors, regrowth, escapes,
comments) are members of the builder and get the positions they need. The
value dispatch is expanded once for array elements and once for member
values. Literals are compared with memcmp and words read in a fixed byte
order, so nothing depends on the platform's byte order. Error messages come
with the public classes.

float, double, and long double where it is IEEE-754 binary64 (MSVC, Apple
arm64) are now converted by the library itself, correctly rounded and
independent of the locale and of the C and C++ libraries:
- The token is split into sign, significand w (at most 19 digits), and
decimal exponent q, using the positions of the decimal point and the
exponent that the scanners already recorded, so no character is
classified again.
- Clinger's fast path where w and 10^|q| are exact.
- Eisel-Lemire otherwise, now templated for binary32 and binary64.
- For tokens with more than 19 digits whose w and w + 1 round differently,
an exact big-integer comparison with the midpoint between the two
candidates (the digit comparison of fast_float, simplified).
This replaces the separate token walks of Clinger's fast path and of
Eisel-Lemire, the significant-digit gate that avoided the former, and, for
float and double, std::from_chars and the locale-aware strtod. std::from_chars
and strtold remain only for other long double formats (x87, binary128,
double-double) and for types that are not IEEE-754. Values are bit-identical
to before wherever the previous conversion was correctly rounded; tokens
converted in a locale with a multi-byte decimal point are now also exact.
Overflow still gives out_of_range.406, underflow a signed zero.
convert_float() is the entry point for other parsers of JSON text: it
converts like the lexer, without allocation for binary32/binary64.
Tests: exact-bit tests for double and float (ties, subnormal and overflow
boundaries, huge exponents, more digits than any midpoint), Eisel-Lemire for
binary32, the round trips of 200,000 doubles and 100,000 floats without
declines, 508 generated hard cases with the expected bits of both formats
(float_hard_cases.hpp) through the converter and both scanners, and
JSON-level overflow/underflow checks for double and float. The locale tests

"_comment": "Used by the ci_infer CMake target (#5715 item 4b). fail-on-issue makes CI fail on Infer findings; disable-issue-type is a type-level baseline for the ~174 pre-existing findings (all PULSE_UNNECESSARY_COPY*/PULSE_RESOURCE_LEAK/PULSE_CONST_REFABLE, mostly in test code) triaged in run https://github.com/nlohmann/json/actions/runs/35829411620 on commit 1054b2097, so CI fails only on a NEW issue type. Remove an entry here once its findings have been fixed or explicitly accepted.",

Header `<nlohmann/json_view.hpp>` adds `json_document`/`json_view`, a read-only, non-owning way to look at a parsed
JSON text: parsing builds a flat index (16 bytes per value) instead of a tree, strings and numbers stay in the source
text, and `materialize()` builds a `json` value for a subtree only when you actually need one. See
[Zero-copy JSON views](https://json.nlohmann.me/features/json_view/) for the details, including which inputs are
borrowed and which are copied.

A recent version is also part of the [Dash user contributions](https://github.com/Kapeli/Dash-User-Contributions/tree/master/docsets/JSON_for_Modern_C%2B%2B).
Returns the first element of an array, the first member value of an object, or the value itself if it is primitive
(as for [`BasicJsonType::front()`](../basic_json/front.md), a primitive value is a range of one element).
## Return value
The first element or member value. For a primitive value (number, string, boolean), the value itself.
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes to the view or the document it refers to.
## Exceptions
Throws [`invalid_iterator.214`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator214) if the view is
[null](is_null.md) or [discarded](is_discarded.md), or if it is an empty array or object.
This exception does not carry a [`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS`](../macros/json_diagnostics.md) path: the view has no
`BasicJsonType` value to point at, so the exception is created without one, even if `BasicJsonType` was built with
`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS` enabled.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Notes
Unlike [`BasicJsonType::front()`](../basic_json/front.md), which has undefined behavior for an empty array or
object, `front()` throws `invalid_iterator.214` in that case -- the same way it already does for `#!json null` and
for a discarded view, where `BasicJsonType::front()` also throws.
## Examples
??? example
The example below reads only the earliest entry of a build log with `front()`, without materializing the rest
of the (possibly long) log.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__front.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__front.output"
```
