 When fixing a bug, edit `unit-regression3.cpp` and add a section referencing the fixed issue.
 `unit-regression2.cpp` holds the older tests; the two files exist because a single one grew large enough for the
 MinGW linker to fail relocating it, so please keep adding to the smaller file rather than growing the larger one.
+Tests that call `sax_parse` go into `unit-sax_parse.cpp` rather than into a large test file: every call instantiates

-
-The [Natvis](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/create-custom-views-of-native-objects) file that
-gives `json` values a friendly view in the Visual Studio debugger. The file is generated by
-`tools/generate_natvis/generate_natvis.py` from the template `tools/generate_natvis/nlohmann_json.natvis.j2` and the ABI
-tags and version in `include/nlohmann/detail/abi_macros.hpp`; change the script or the template rather than editing
-the file by hand. The file can be updated by calling
-
-```shell
-make natvis
-```
-
-The "Check amalgamation" workflow fails if the file is out of date.
-
-The file covers the namespace variants with up to two ABI tags. A Natvis file for other configurations can be
-generated with the `--abi-tags` or `--all` options, for example
-`make natvis NATVIS_ARGS="--abi-tags _diag,_dp,_ns --output my_nlohmann_json.natvis"`; see
-[`tools/generate_natvis`](tools/generate_natvis/README.md). With MSVC, CMake adds the file to the `nlohmann_json`
-target and installs it.

 ## Complexity

-Linear in the total number of values (including nested ones) in `source` and `target`, times the cost of a key-based
-object operation (looking up a key in an object): logarithmic for [`json`](../json.md), and linear for
-[`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md) (see [`ordered_map` complexity](../ordered_map.md#complexity)). For
-`ordered_json`, diffing two objects with `n` and `m` members therefore takes O((n+m)²) when their keys do not line up
-(e.g., a key was added or the keys are in a different order). The size of the patch is proportional to the number of
-operations times the length of their paths, so a small change deep inside a value yields a long `path`.
+Linear in the lengths of `source` and `target`.

 ## Notes

- Currently, only `remove`, `add`, and `replace` operations are generated.
- The patch is correct, but not guaranteed to be minimal. For instance, `diff([1,2,3], [0,1,2,3])` yields three
-  `replace` operations and one `add` operation instead of a single insertion.
- Differences between two arrays are reported index by index. Elements that were added at the end of the array are added
-  with `add` operations on the path `/-` (appended in order), and elements that were removed are removed with `remove`
-  operations from the highest index down to the lowest, so that the remaining indices stay valid.
- For objects, the operations for the members of `source` come first (`replace`, `remove`, or the operations for nested
-  values, in the iteration order of `source`), followed by `add` operations for the members that only `target` has.
- For [`ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md), objects with the same keys in a different order are different. As a patch
-  cannot reorder members, `diff` removes all keys of the `source` object and adds them again in the order of the
-  `target`.
- If `source` and `target` differ as a whole (e.g., different types), the patch consists of a single `replace`
-  operation for the root of the value, i.e., with the `path` `""` (or the given `path` prefix).
- The `value` members of the patch hold copies of values of `target`. A [binary](../../features/binary_values.md) value
-  has no JSON representation: when a patch that contains one is serialized, it becomes an object such as
-  `#!json {"bytes":[1,3],"subtype":null}`, so a parsed patch no longer holds a binary value (and would set that object
-  instead).
+Currently, only `remove`, `add`, and `replace` operations are generated.

Niels Lohmann	466e56d92d	Move the MessagePack SAX tests into unit-sax_parse.cpp With develop's latest changes, the MinGW Debug object of unit-msgpack.cpp has 33134 COFF sections on its own and 33411 with this PR, more than the 32767 that the MinGW linker of the "clang (20.1.8)" job can relocate. Its sax_parse calls, all with utils::SaxCountdown, instantiate a parser and binary reader of their own; moving those tests into unit-sax_parse.cpp brings the object down to 32271 sections (unit-sax_parse: 20678). The moved tests are unchanged: the "SAX aborts" sections, the user-defined SAX consumer of #5405, the deep value read through the SAX interface (#5104), and "MessagePack SAX parsing stops at every event".

For a SAX parser whose parse_error() is static, as in unit-disabled_exceptions.cpp, Visual Studio 2015 then reports the parameter as unreferenced (C4100), which /WX turns into an error. - The variadic concatenated() helper in unit-sax_parse.cpp made Visual Studio 2015 fail with an internal compiler error (C1001).

Niels Lohmann	f8ff0942b2	Keep the MinGW test objects below the linker's section limit The MinGW clang job links with a GNU ld that cannot relocate an object with more than 32767 sections. unit-regression2, unit-regression3 and unit-msgpack went over it: - At -O0, the parser and binary reader for parse(), accept() and from_*() still emitted the stubs that stand in for recovering, and the parser referenced its recovery helpers from code that never runs. The stubs are now always inlined, and the parser reaches its helpers through the same allow_recovery tag as the stubs, so that this code is not even instantiated there. This removes about 300 sections from unit-msgpack. - Every sax_parse call instantiates the parser and binary reader that recover from errors. The tests that call it move from unit-regression2.cpp (#3989) and unit-regression3.cpp (#5676) into unit-sax_parse.cpp, like unit-explicit_instantiation.cpp got a file of its own (#5511), and CONTRIBUTING.md points there.

Niels Lohmann	1143da4faa	Fix CI: keep the binary readers' recovery code out of from_() The MinGW job ("clang (20.1.8)", Debug) failed to link test-msgpack_cpp17 with "relocation truncated to fit: IMAGE_REL_AMD64_REL32 against `.rdata'". Its GNU ld (MinGW 12.2.0) cannot link an object file with more than 32767 sections. Reproduced with clang 20.1.8 and binutils 2.40: unit-msgpack.cpp's object has 31958 sections on develop and had 33210 with #3989; binutils 2.44 links both. The readers of from_() never recover, but unoptimized builds still emitted the recovery code their dead branches referenced: about 20 helpers per reader instantiation, plus the lexer's recovery functions through the UBJSON high-precision number repair. Now: - Errors are reported with report_error() only. The helpers that act on the SAX parser's answer (repair_requested(), resync(), value_failed(), close_open_containers(), and the repairs of high-precision numbers and unsupported BSON elements) have one trivial variant for readers that do not recover, so the recovery code is not referenced there. - Object keys that are not strings and BSON elements whose end is lost are marked at the error site and skipped by resync() in the reading loops; report_repairable_error(), report_error_repairable_if(), report_bson_element_error(), and bon8_error_repairable_if() are gone. - is_cbor_item_head() is a free function, and the BSON element type is formatted as on develop again. The object now has 32638 sections and links. Behavior is unchanged (regression tests, binary format suites, and fuzzing), and an optimized program that only calls from_*() is now 256 bytes smaller than on develop.

Niels Lohmann	437a95cfdb	Repair complete items in binary formats when parse_error() returns true (#3989 ) When the SAX parser asks to recover, the binary readers now repair an item whose end is known and read on after it, as RFC 8949, Section 5.3 describes for CBOR: - CBOR: tags are ignored, and simple values other than false, true, and null become null (RFC 8949, Section 6.1); a negative integer below the range of number_integer_t becomes the nearest floating-point number. - Strings that are not valid UTF-8 get U+FFFD for each ill-formed sequence, as in JSON text; so does a UBJSON/BJData char above 0x7F. - UBJSON/BJData high-precision numbers keep their longest valid beginning (via the lexer's recover_token()), or become infinity. - Members whose key is not a string are skipped (CBOR, MessagePack, BON8), like members without a key in JSON text. - BSON elements of types the library does not read (ObjectId, datetime, decimal128, ...) become null; a string without its terminator and a document whose size does not match are kept. Where the end of an item is unknown, reading stops as before, except that BSON skips to the end of the document, whose size it knows. The value read before such an error is now completed by the reader from its container stack, as the JSON parser does, instead of by a proxy SAX parser, which is removed. Like the parser, binary_reader gets an AllowRecovery template parameter, so that from_() compile without the new code. Tests: a table of repairs, numbers out of range, errors that stop, and a sweep over changed and removed bytes of eight encodings that checks balanced events and that the first error is the one from_() reports. All fuzzers now run a recovering checker; the binary ones also check that it reports an error exactly when from_*() fails. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>	2026-09-27 21:40:59 +02:00

Niels Lohmann	9adb510a0d	Recover from parse errors when parse_error() returns true (#3989 ) The return value of json_sax::parse_error() was documented both as "must return false" and as "whether the parsing should continue", and the code just passed it on. For JSON text, parsing stopped anyway, but sax_parse() could report success for invalid input. The binary readers read on after the error, looping forever on a CBOR indefinite-length array without its end. Now false stops parsing, and true recovers from the error: - JSON text is repaired with the smallest local edit (insert a missing ',' or ':', remove a stray token, keep the readable part of a broken string or number, null for a value that cannot be read, close the innermost container at a wrong closing bracket and all of them at the end of the input), and parsing continues. The SAX events stay balanced, every key is followed by exactly one value, and each token is reported at most once. - The binary formats cannot resynchronize, so they stop, but complete the value read so far. sax_parse() returns false after any error. parse(), accept(), and the from_*() functions never recover and compile to the same code as before. Supersedes #4522. Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>	2026-09-27 20:16:42 +02:00
