* Add JSON_UBJSON_VALUELESS_ELEMENTS_PER_BYTE to set the UBJSON whole-input budget The whole-input budget for the elements of optimized UBJSON arrays of type Z, T and F (1048576 plus 4 per byte read) rejects files written by 3.12.0 that have long arrays of these types, such as 1100 rows of 1000 nulls with a `$Z` annotation, and there was no way to read them. The per-byte rate is now the macro JSON_UBJSON_VALUELESS_ELEMENTS_PER_BYTE. Semantics: - default 4, so the default build is unchanged (the generated code of from_ubjson is identical at -O2 up to source line numbers); - the value must be a positive integer: 0, negative, non-integral, bool, character and wider-than-uintmax_t values fail to compile with a static_assert that names the macro; - a value that does not fit into std::size_t is the largest size_t, so one spelling works for 32- and 64-bit targets; - the limit base + rate * bytes_read saturates at the largest size_t instead of wrapping around, for any rate and input size; a rate of 131072 (2^20 / 8) or more cannot be exceeded by any input (the shortest header of an array of more than 32767 elements is 8 bytes), which switches the whole-input budget off; - the limit of one array (1048576) and the base (1048576) stay fixed constants, so the writer fallback still follows the base only and a reader with any rate reads everything the writer produces; - the macro is not part of the ABI tag and must have the same value in every translation unit; it is documented that way. The memory the arrays can take in a DOM is about 20 bytes per rate and byte of input (measured, macOS, containers of 9 * rate elements: 25 bytes per input byte at rate 1, 81 at 4, 312 at 16, 1226 at 64, 5493 at 256) plus about 33 MB for the base. A 3.12.0 row of N values has a header of b bytes (5 up to 255, 6 up to 32767, 8 above), so a table is read completely if N <= rate * b, and otherwise up to (1048576 + h * rate, h = outer header: 6, 7 or 9 bytes) / (N - rate * b) rows; 1100 rows of 1000 nulls need a rate of 8. The new page of the macro documents the formulas, the measurements, and two examples that are run by the documentation checks. The tests of the budget move to tests/src/unit-ubjson_valueless.cpp, which derives every boundary from the macro and is built with the rates 1, 1000000 and 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF in addition to the default (the last two check that nothing is refused and that the limit does not wrap around); they fail with the unchanged header for rate 1, 1000000 and the maximum.
