Niels Lohmann 823eee3b59 Add editable json_documents: set, push_back, insert, and erase (#5630)
* Add editable json_documents: set, push_back, insert, and erase

basic_json_document gets a second template parameter, Editable
(false by default), plus the aliases json_editable_document,
json_editable_view, ordered_json_editable_document and
ordered_json_editable_view.

Editable documents can change values and structure without
rewriting the source text: set()/push_back() on values, keys,
array indices and JSON pointers; insert() before an array
element; erase() of an object key, array index or JSON pointer.

New values and element sequences go into edit storage that the
document owns and never moves, so views keep referring to their
value across edits and a parsed node never moves. Read-only
documents walk the plain node array and are unaffected.

Strings are checked for UTF-8 on entry, so dump() of an editable
document never throws type_error.316. Binary values cannot be
stored (type_error.319).

A seeded differential test applies random edits to an editable
document and to the equivalent ordered_json and compares both
after every step.

* Fix old clang and MSVC C4127 in editable json documents

Value-initialize the const std::less in find_parent (clang 3.4/3.6 do not
implement DR 253), and test the Editable template argument through a
function to avoid MSVC C4127.

* Copy nested values into a document without recursion

Counting and copying the nodes of a view or a basic_json value into an
editable document recursed once per nesting level, so that a deeply
nested value overflowed the stack. The four functions now walk the value
with an explicit stack, as materialize() does.

* Do not leave a half-assigned container when set_moved() throws

assign() rewrote the kind, length and extent of a slot before set_moved()
registered its new element sequence. set_moved() can throw
(std::bad_alloc from reserving the bookkeeping vectors) for a slot that
is not moved yet, which left a container without the moved flag that
showed its old children. The bookkeeping is now reserved first
(reserve_moved()), so that nothing after the first write to the slot can
throw. block_of() reserves before it marks anything for the same reason.

* Check strings copied from another document for valid UTF-8

An editable document only holds valid UTF-8, but copy_scalar() copied the
strings and keys of a view of another document unchecked. A document of
a weaker check (or a borrowed text that changed after parsing) could
therefore bring ill-formed UTF-8 into it. The copy is checked now, with
the error that dump() reports for the string; copies within the same
document stay unchecked.

* Allow the edit arena to grow up to 4 GiB - 1 bytes

append_text() doubled the capacity of the arena and rejected the result
if it exceeded 4 GiB, so that an arena of more than 2 GiB could not grow
even though the 32-bit offsets of nodes address 4 GiB - 1 bytes. The
capacity is now clamped to that limit (text_capacity()), and an append
is rejected only if the bytes themselves do not fit.

* Set a null value below a pointer as basic_json does

set(json_pointer, value) turned a null parent into an object for every
last reference token, so "/a/0" and "/a/-" below {"a":null} made
{"a":{"0":1}}, where basic_json's operator[](json_pointer) makes an
array. A null parent now becomes an array for "-" and for digit tokens
(filled with nulls up to the index) and an object otherwise. An invalid
index is reported before the parent changes.

* Replace a container by a scalar in constant time once it is linked

Replacing an array or object that spans several nodes by a scalar looks
up its parent from the root (find_parent), which is linear in the size
of the document: setting every element of a 20,000 element array took
more than half a second. The parent only has to switch to links once;
afterward the extent of the replaced value no longer matters. Nodes that
an entry of a moved sequence links to are now marked (node_flags::linked),
and assign() skips the lookup for them.

* Update the json_view banner and type_error.319 for editable documents

The banner still described a read-only view, and the documentation of
type_error.319 listed set and push_back only, although insert rejects
binary values as well.

* Assign the member that lookups find when set() meets duplicate keys

An editable document reads the last member of a repeated key (as the
read-only document does), but set(object, key, value) assigned the first
one: a view taken from object[key] before the call did not show the new
value. It now assigns the last member's value, keeps the key at the
position of its first occurrence (where materialize() puts it), and drops
the other members.

The seeded differential test now also edits documents whose objects
repeat keys and compares every lookup (operator[], at, find, value,
contains, count, and JSON pointers) with the parsed basic_json value.
A targeted test covers duplicates before and after edits that move the
object, in large objects with an index, in moved arrays, and in values
copied from other documents.

Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>

* Assign the first member when set() meets duplicate keys again

Lookups find the first member of a repeated key again, so set(object, key,
value) assigns that member (keeping the key where it is) and drops the
others, as documented before, and a view taken from object[key] shows the
new value. This undoes the code and documentation changes of 5cbb8e6d6.
Lookups in edited objects (navigation of editable documents) stop at the
first match, like those of parsed objects.

The tests that commit added expect the first member from lookups now. In the
seeded differential test, the documents with repeated keys repeat them after
the real members; the reference holds the first members, which the edits
address and the lookups are compared with, while materialize() is compared
with what parse() makes of the document's dump.

* 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), and the headers that json.hpp
already provides (abi_config, abi_macros, input_adapters, json_pointer,
cpp_future, string_concat, value_t, json_fwd), plus <version> for
std::nullptr_t, and removing <cstddef> and edit_storage.hpp.

- 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
- drop edit_storage.hpp, which edit.hpp includes

* Keep the view's edit headers clean for clang-tidy in C++17 mode

clang-tidy 22 checks the headers with -std=gnu++17 as well, where it asks
for a transparent comparator and std::make_unique. The regions map uses its
default comparator, and the allocation of the edit state keeps new (the
library is C++11) with a NOLINT.

* 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.

* Expect count() to count every member in the edit tests

Since #5622, count() counts every member with the key, so documents
with duplicate keys no longer give 1.

* Count matching keys as unsigned in the json_view edit tests

* Address the review of erase() in editable json documents

From gregmarr's review of #5630:

- invalid_iterator.202 is thrown by overloads 1 and 2 only; the page said
  "every overload" and then excluded 3 in parentheses.
- The note on links says what moves (the links after the removed element,
  as insert() moves them the other way) and that every iterator over the
  container is invalidated, not only those after the removed element.
- edit.hpp compares keys with document_data::key_equals().

* Address the review of editable json documents

From gregmarr's review of #5630:

- set() with a JSON pointer below a null value checks for "-" before
  scanning the token for digits.
- node_flags::storage is defined as escaped | edited, and the comment on
  document_data::base says that the fourth slot is unused.
- source_extent() names its root check.
- The integer-index overloads of set(), insert(), and erase() use a named
  trait instead of a negated condition, which astyle formats like the
  library's other enable_ifs.

* Address the rest of the review of editable json documents

From gregmarr's review of #5630:

- alloc_nodes() gives a request of half of the next chunk or more a chunk
  of its own, so that the rest of the current chunk stays available for
  smaller requests instead of being abandoned.
- The comments on edit_state, append_text(), and reserve_moved() say that
  views stay valid across every edit (not just the first), that n is 0 for
  empty strings, and why both capacities are checked.
- The architecture page names flag bits 3, 4, and 5 (linked) separately
  and says that a discarded view has no node; erase.md rewords overload 3
  and says why it never throws invalid_iterator.202.

* Call alloc_nodes() before reading chunks.back() in the json_view chunk test

The operands of == are unsequenced, and MSVC evaluated
d->edits->chunks.back() before alloc_nodes() added the new chunk, so the
check compared the result with the previous chunk and failed on
msvc-arm64 (Debug and Release).
