Niels Lohmann 38a2db260c Remove dead metaprogramming and duplicated code in traits and pointers (#5728)
* Remove unused is_sax and is_detected_convertible

detail::is_sax had no user: the parser and the binary reader only use
is_sax_static_asserts, so is_sax was a second, unchecked copy of the
SAX event list. is_sax_static_asserts asserted boolean(bool) twice in
a row, and detail::is_detected_convertible was never used anywhere.

Remove all three and include <cstddef> for size_t instead of <cstdint>.
Only names in nlohmann::detail are removed; behavior, public API and ABI
are unchanged. The diagnostics for an incomplete SAX handler are the
same, apart from the duplicated boolean() message.

* Replace meta/logic.hpp with a disjunction trait

meta/logic.hpp added a second set of type-level boolean helpers
(cxpr_and, cxpr_or, cxpr_not, ...) next to the existing conjunction
and negation in type_traits.hpp. It was used only by one static_assert
in from_json_tuple_impl, two of its templates were never used, and it
was the only header without the license banner and relied on
transitive includes for <type_traits>.

Add the missing disjunction next to conjunction and negation, use the
three in the static_assert, and delete logic.hpp together with its
BUILD.bazel entry. same_sign now uses disjunction as well, which
resolves the 2022 TODO waiting for such a trait.

The static_assert accepts and rejects the same types as before. Only
names in nlohmann::detail change; behavior, public API and ABI are
unchanged.

* Remove unused would_call_std_* from NLOHMANN_CAN_CALL_STD_FUNC_IMPL

Besides detail::result_of_begin/end, which is_range and iterator_t use,
the macro defined a namespace detail2 with a tag type, a catch-all
overload and would_call_std_begin/end, plus would_call_std_begin/end
structs directly in namespace nlohmann. Nothing has used them since
they were added in #3020.

Reduce the macro to its detail part. Without the trailing struct the
';' after the two invocations would be an empty declaration that
-Wextra-semi flags, so drop it. macro_scope.hpp included
meta/detected.hpp only for this macro; all users of detected.hpp
include it (or type_traits.hpp) themselves, so remove the include.

Behavior and ABI are unchanged. The undocumented, untested and unused
names nlohmann::would_call_std_begin, nlohmann::would_call_std_end and
namespace nlohmann::detail2 are no longer declared.

* Simplify is_ordered_map to reuse has_capacity

is_ordered_map re-detected capacity() with a C++03 sizeof/vararg
trick right after has_capacity did the same detection through
is_detected. For ordered_map, the old trick took the address of
std::vector::capacity, which [namespace.std]/6 makes unspecified.
Reuse has_capacity instead, which removes the unspecified-behavior
pointer-to-std-member and two NOLINT suppressions.

* Remove duplicate const overload of json_pointer::get_checked

The const and non-const get_checked() overloads had byte-identical
50-line bodies, differing only in the signature. The remaining
template deduces a const-qualified BasicJsonType for const callers,
so at(), the out_of_range::create() calls and the bounds check all
still work.

* Fix tautological clause in iter_impl's iterator category assertion

The static_assert meant to check the LegacyBidirectionalIterator
named requirement had a first clause comparing
std::bidirectional_iterator_tag to itself, which is always true and
checks nothing; only array_t::iterator was actually being checked,
despite the message claiming object iterators were checked too.
Drop the tautological clause, reword the message to describe what
is actually checked, and note that object_t may use a forward-only
iterator as long as reverse iteration and operator-- are unused.
The check is intentionally not extended to object_t::iterator, since
that would reject object types with forward-only iterators that
compile and work correctly today.

* Fix misplaced and stale comments in JSON_HAS_RANGES and conversions

The JSON_HAS_RANGES feature-detection block had its libc++ comment
sitting above the clang+libstdc++ branch it does not describe,
leaving the libc++ branch uncommented and the clang+libstdc++ branch
without its own rationale. Move each comment to sit under its own
branch, and give the clang+libstdc++ branch (added in issue 5161) its
own one-line reason referencing that issue instead of reusing the
libc++ branch's comment. Also fix a duplicated-word typo ("in large
in large cpp files") in from_json.hpp, drop two unanswered 2017
design questions left as comments in type_traits.hpp and
from_json.hpp that no longer reflect open questions, and correct
NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM_STRICT's @since tag from 3.12.0 to
3.13.0, the release it was actually introduced in.

* Support any-rank C arrays in from_json, not just rank 1-4

from_json() for C arrays had four hand-unrolled overloads (rank 1-4,
added incrementally in #4262), each with its own nested loops. to_json()
already handles any rank recursively, so a rank-5+ C array could be
serialized but not read back with get_to()/get<>().

Replace the four overloads with one from_json() SFINAE-constrained on
get<remove_all_extents<T>::type>() existing, forwarding to a pair of
mutually recursive from_json_c_array_element() helpers: one assigns a
non-array element via get<T>(), the other loops over a array element and
recurses one dimension at a time. Each dimension still goes through at(),
so type_error.304/out_of_range.401 stay unchanged; ranks 1-4 keep their
existing behavior and semantics.

Adds rank-5 round-trip and mismatched-shape tests to unit-conversions.cpp.

Public API: additive only (rank 5+ C arrays become readable).

#5708 item 1

* Move templated_json_throw into nlohmann::detail

templated_json_throw() was defined in macro_scope.hpp, which is included
outside NLOHMANN_JSON_NAMESPACE_BEGIN, so the helper leaked into the
global namespace as ::templated_json_throw with no ABI tag. Unqualified
lookup in NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM_STRICT could then bind to a
same-named function declared in the user's own namespace instead, which
fails to compile with Clang ("does not name a template").

Move the helper next to the exception classes in exceptions.hpp, inside
nlohmann::detail, and call it qualified as
::nlohmann::detail::templated_json_throw<...>(...) from both macro
expansion sites. Rewrite the doc comment to give the real reason for the
helper (JSON_THROW may expand to code that discards its argument, e.g.
when exceptions are disabled) and fix the "supress" typo.

templated_json_throw was never released (added by #5151 after v3.12.0),
so it can be moved freely.

Adds a regression test that expands NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM_STRICT
inside a namespace declaring its own templated_json_throw.

Public API: no change (::templated_json_throw was an unreleased,
unintentional global-namespace leak with no callers relying on its
location).

Overlaps #5698, which rewrites the same two macro call lines; the
overlapping hunks are small and should be trivial to reconcile on
rebase.

#5708 item 2

* Factor the repeated JSON_HAS_RANGES/MinGW guard into one macro

The std::ranges view conversion (excluded on MinGW because of its
incomplete C++20 ranges support, #4916) was gated by the same
#if JSON_HAS_RANGES && !defined(__MINGW32__) condition at seven
independent sites in to_json.hpp and type_traits.hpp, with the MinGW
rationale duplicated in two of them and missing from the rest. Since the
sites come in matching pairs (one enables is_compatible_range_view and a
view-based overload, the other adds the exclusion to the
plain-array-type overload), a drift between any pair would produce an
ambiguous or missing overload on exactly one platform.

Add JSON_HAS_RANGE_VIEW_CONVERSION next to JSON_HAS_RANGES in
macro_scope.hpp, combining both conditions with the #4916 reasoning in
one place, #undef it in macro_unscope.hpp, and use it at all seven
sites. This does not fold the MinGW check into JSON_HAS_RANGES itself:
JSON_HAS_RANGES is user-overridable and also gates the
enable_borrowed_range specialization in iteration_proxy.hpp, which is
not excluded on MinGW.

No behavior or public API change: JSON_HAS_RANGE_VIEW_CONVERSION expands
to exactly the condition that was previously written out at each site.

Overlaps #5585, #5600 and #3575, which touch the same to_json.hpp and
type_traits.hpp lines; the change here is a mechanical
search-and-replace of the guard condition and should rebase cleanly.

#5708 item 11

* De-duplicate from_json.hpp's map and array-fallback bodies

Several from_json() overload pairs in from_json.hpp were copies of each
other, so a fix has to be applied twice (as #5681 already does):

- from_json(..., std::map&) and from_json(..., std::unordered_map&) for
  non-string keys had identical 16-line bodies: array check, m.clear(),
  pair check loop, m.emplace(...). Route both through a new
  from_json_pair_array_to_map(j, m) helper.
- The from_json_array_impl priority_tag<1> and priority_tag<0> fallbacks
  ran the same std::transform/std::inserter loop, differing only in
  ret.reserve(j.size()). Merge them into one body and, modeled on the
  existing from_json_object_reserve, add a from_json_array_reserve pair
  so the reserve() call is only made for ConstructibleArrayType that
  support it.

Error ids (type_error.302), messages, diagnostic paths ((at(0)/at(1))
and behavior for types with/without reserve() are unchanged; only the
duplication is removed.

Public API: no change.

Overlaps #5681, which changes the "&j" to "&p" line in both map bodies;
the shared helper here should make that a one-line change instead of two
on rebase.

#5708 item 5

* Unify json_pointer's three array-index parsers

array_index(), contains() and get_checked_or_null() each re-implemented
the RFC 6901 array-index rules and the size_type range check: array_index()
does the canonical parse and throws; contains() (which must not throw,
#5395) re-validates every digit by hand and runs its own strtoull/ERANGE
check before calling array_index() anyway, parsing every array token
twice; get_checked_or_null() wraps array_index() in JSON_TRY/
JSON_INTERNAL_CATCH (detail::out_of_range&) to turn an unrepresentable
index into "not found".

Add a single private, noexcept parse_array_index(s, idx) returning an
array_index_status (ok / leading_zero / not_a_number / unresolved /
exceeds_size_type). array_index() becomes a thin wrapper mapping each
status to the existing parse_error.106/109 or out_of_range.404/410;
contains() and get_checked_or_null() switch on the status directly. This
removes contains()'s digit-validation loop and its second strtoull call,
and get_checked_or_null()'s JSON_TRY/JSON_INTERNAL_CATCH.

Bugfix as a consequence: get_checked_or_null()'s JSON_TRY/
JSON_INTERNAL_CATCH was dead code under JSON_NOEXCEPTION (JSON_TRY
expands to "if(true)" and the catch to "if(false)", so JSON_THROW's
std::abort() ran unconditionally), meaning value() and contains() would
abort instead of returning the default/false for an out-of-range-sized
or oversized array index when exceptions are disabled (#5672). Switching
on parse_array_index()'s return value instead of relying on an actual
throw/catch fixes this: get_checked_or_null() now returns nullptr for
array_index_status::unresolved/exceeds_size_type in every build
configuration, and still calls JSON_THROW (aborting under
JSON_NOEXCEPTION, as before) only for a malformed index
(leading_zero/not_a_number), matching its documented @throw list.

All existing error ids, messages and diagnostic paths are unchanged; a
few reference tokens that used to fail contains()'s manual per-character
validation (e.g. "1a") now fail via array_index_status::unresolved
instead, with no observable difference since contains() only returns
bool.

Adds regression tests to unit-element_access2.cpp's "access on array
type" section covering value() with an index that exceeds size_type and
one with a trailing non-digit, both of which must yield the default
value rather than abort/throw.

Public API: no change.

Overlaps #5700, #5614 and #5692, which touch the contains() and
get_checked_or_null() array hunks; this change replaces those hunks with
calls into the new shared parser, so a rebase will need to re-apply
their token-handling changes (e.g. the empty-token case) on top of the
switch statements here.

* Address review: switch in array_index, drop redundant inline

- json_pointer::array_index() dispatches on array_index_status with a

- drop `inline` from the function templates this PR adds or moves in
  from_json.hpp
