Fix CI: include cycle, GCC 4.8 literal operator spacing, and global UDLs off in the JSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS test

- Suppress clang-tidy misc-header-include-cycle on the intentional mutual include of json.hpp and json_literals.hpp. - Use operator"" _json with a space for GCC 4.8 in the test's detection aliases, as the header does. - Only test the global literal operators when JSON_USE_GLOBAL_UDLS is on.

+# JSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS
+
+```cpp
+#define JSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS
+```
+
+When defined, `<nlohmann/json.hpp>` does not include `<nlohmann/json_literals.hpp>`, so the user-defined string
+literals [`operator""_json`](../operator_literal_json.md) and
+[`operator""_json_pointer`](../operator_literal_json_pointer.md) are not declared. Include
+`<nlohmann/json_literals.hpp>` in the files that use them.
+
+The literals are ordinary inline functions whose bodies call the parser, so every translation unit that includes them
+instantiates the parser — even if it never parses anything itself. Defining `JSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS` for a whole project
+avoids this cost in translation units that do not parse (e.g., ones that only define types and conversions or pass
+`json` values around) and reduces their compile time.
+
+## Default definition
+
+By default, `#!cpp JSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS` is not defined, and `<nlohmann/json.hpp>` includes
+`<nlohmann/json_literals.hpp>`.
+
+```cpp
+#undef JSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+!!! info "Header `<nlohmann/json_literals.hpp>`"
+
+    The header includes `<nlohmann/json.hpp>` itself and places the literals according to
+    [`JSON_USE_GLOBAL_UDLS`](json_use_global_udls.md). It is part of the multi-header sources (`include/nlohmann`)
+    and of the single-header sources (`single_include/nlohmann`), next to `json.hpp`.
+
+!!! info "C++ modules"
+
+    The `nlohmann.json` [module](../../features/modules.md) always exports the literals, regardless of this macro.
+
+## Examples
+
+??? example
+
+    The code below includes the library without the literals and adds them in a single translation unit.
+
+    ```cpp
+    // compiled with -DJSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS for the whole project
+    #include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
+
+    // this file uses the literals, so it includes them explicitly
+    #include <nlohmann/json_literals.hpp>
+
+    int main()
+    {
+        auto j = R"({"foo": 42})"_json;
+        return j.at("/foo"_json_pointer) == 42 ? 0 : 1;
+    }
+    ```
+
+    Without the include of `<nlohmann/json_literals.hpp>`, the code would fail to compile.

Niels Lohmann	a00c951d52	Fix CI: include cycle, GCC 4.8 literal operator spacing, and global UDLs off in the JSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS test - Suppress clang-tidy misc-header-include-cycle on the intentional mutual include of json.hpp and json_literals.hpp. - Use operator"" _json with a space for GCC 4.8 in the test's detection aliases, as the header does. - Only test the global literal operators when JSON_USE_GLOBAL_UDLS is on.

Niels Lohmann	71b9c4a88d	Merge branch 'develop' into claude/json-no-udls-e999fc Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>	2026-09-28 22:22:15 +02:00
Niels Lohmann	1419aeff60	Move the user-defined string literals to <nlohmann/json_literals.hpp> Following the review in #5294, the literals now live in their own header instead of being removed entirely: <nlohmann/json.hpp> includes it at the end unless JSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS (renamed from JSON_NO_UDLS) is defined, so a project can opt out globally and include the header only where the literals are used. The header only uses public and standard macros, because the library's internal macros are undefined at the end of json.hpp and the amalgamation inlines macro_scope.hpp only once. For the same reason, the library no longer defines and undefines JSON_USE_GLOBAL_UDLS, so a user's definition is still visible to the header. The single-header copy is identical to the multi-header one, as it only includes <nlohmann/json.hpp>. The module always exports the literals.

Niels Lohmann	dc4a70e7b4	Add JSON_NO_UDLS to leave out the user-defined string literals The bodies of operator""_json and operator""_json_pointer call the parser, so every translation unit including the library instantiates it, even if it never parses anything. Defining JSON_NO_UDLS leaves the literals out entirely, which saves 15-35% compile time for such translation units (#5294). Nothing changes if the macro is not defined.
