Niels Lohmann 3ff37ead75 Scan json_view strings with SIMD and index large objects (#5628)
* Scan json_view strings with SIMD and index large objects

Speed up json_view's parser with SIMD scanning and a hash table
for large objects.

Long runs of string bytes are scanned 16 bytes at a time with NEON
(AArch64, GCC and Clang) and SSE2 (x86-64), both baseline
instruction sets. Keys keep 16 table checks before the vector
loop, because their lengths repeat from record to record; string
values get 8, because their lengths vary more. Non-ASCII text is
validated 16 bytes at a time with simdjson's "lookup4" check
(Keiser and Lemire, 2021), with NEON on AArch64 and, on x86-64,
with SSSE3. SSSE3 is not part of baseline x86-64, so the check is
compiled for SSSE3 with a function attribute and used only where
CPUID reports it, which all x86-64 CPUs since about 2011 do; the
answer is cached in a statically initialized atomic, so there is
no guard of a local static and no global constructor. The same
input is accepted either way. JSON_VIEW_NO_SIMD selects the
portable code.

On x86-64, string runs are now checked vector-first: one SSE2
compare from the first byte finds the end of most keys and short
values, instead of a branch per byte for the first 8-16 bytes.
AArch64 keeps the byte-wise steps, where a NEON mask costs more and
the branches predict well. Entering an object or array no longer
stalls: open() stores the parent's frame field by field instead of
building it on the stack and reading it back with wider loads,
which waited for the narrower stores to retire.

Objects with 128 members or more get an open-addressing hash table
built when the object closes, so operator[], at(), find(),
contains(), count(), value(), and JSON pointers take constant time
on average in such objects; of duplicate keys, the first is kept,
as for the linear search. The idea comes from Boost.JSON.

* Fix GCC module build and MSVC C4127 in the json_view SIMD code

GCC ignores the target attribute in modules, so the SSSE3 dispatch is
disabled for the module interface (the check stays portable, SSE2 is kept).
Make the 8-vs-16 byte unrolling condition in scan_string_run a
preprocessor/template split to avoid a constant condition (C4127).

* Remove an accidentally committed GCC module cache

* Bound the probe length of the large-object hash index

The key hash is not seeded, so keys chosen to collide made building the table quadratic (20,000 colliding keys took 470 ms to parse). A key may now sit at most 64 slots from its home slot; if a key would sit further away, the table is dropped and the object is searched linearly. Lookups stop after the same distance.

* Release the spare capacity of the hash index in shrink_to_fit

shrink_to_fit() now trims the tables of large objects like the node array and the decoded strings, and the list of large objects is released as soon as the tables are built.

* Use the portable string scan on non-x86 targets that define __SSE2__

WebAssembly with -msse2 defines __SSE2__, but has no <cpuid.h> or x86 intrinsics headers.

* Document the hash index number in node::extra

* Keep the last of duplicate keys in the object hash index

Lookups in objects with 128 members or more now return the last member of
a repeated key, like the linear search of smaller objects and like
materialize() and basic_json::parse(). build_object_index let the first
occurrence win, so the same text gave different results depending on the
size of the object.

* Keep the first of duplicate keys in the object hash index again

Lookups in objects with 128 members or more return the first member of a
repeated key again, like the linear search of smaller objects. This undoes
the code change of a69542046; its test now expects the first member from
lookups (with and without a table) and the last value from materialize()
and basic_json::parse().

* Fix clang-tidy 22 findings in the json_view headers

Silence bugprone-casting-through-void for the SSE loads (a reinterpret_cast
would trip -Wcast-align=strict), use auto for a cast initialiser, add
parentheses to a mixed expression, and name bugprone-std-namespace-modification
in the NOLINTs of the tuple_size/tuple_element specialisations.

* Make json_view.hpp pass include-what-you-use

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

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

* Move the dump, comparison, and large-object tests to unit-json_view_dump.cpp

The dump and comparison tests moved to their own file in the dump pull
request; the hash index tests of this branch join them there.

* Follow the renames from the review of the view builder

The review of #5620 renamed document_data's tape/tape_size/tape_cap to
nodes/node_count/node_capacity and made the decode arena a
std::vector<char>; adapt the code of this change to it.

* Rename slots in the object index for Qt compatibility

Qt defines slots as a macro, so a Qt header included before
json_view.hpp broke the declarations of the local variable (see #5865).
The test variable is renamed as well.

* Address the review of the json_view object index and SIMD scan

From gregmarr's review of #5628:

- Docs and comments say that the hash index is one of the object's keys.
- object_index.hpp: conditional_static_cast for the hash, "slot" for the
  table position, no flag for a degenerate table, and a static_assert
  that the smallest indexed object is larger than the probe window.
- scan.hpp unrolls with NLOHMANN_VIEW_REPEAT_FIRST_8/SECOND_8.

* Encode JSON_VIEW_NO_SIMD and JSON_VIEW_USE_SSSE3 in the ABI namespace

Both macros select between definitions of the same inline functions, so
translation units that disagree on them violated the ODR. Like the other
ABI-affecting macros, they now add a tag to the inline namespace (_vns and
_vssse3), and the docs replace the "Define consistently" warning with the
usual ABI compatibility note. From gregmarr's review of #5628.

nlohmann_json.natvis covers twice as many tags now, so it lists four times
as many namespaces (14.7 MB instead of 3.4 MB).

* Do not include type_traits.hpp directly in the object index

json.hpp, which object_index.hpp already includes, provides it; included
directly, the json_view amalgamation (which only treats nlohmann/json.hpp
as external) copied the json internals into json_view.hpp a second time,
so the fuzzers, which include both single headers, failed with
redefinitions (make_void, integer_sequence, priority_tag, ...).
