Minor, since this template clause is the same for #if and #else you could move it outside and avoid duplicating it. If you prefer it this way, that's fine too.

Ugh, just saw the failure on Windows. Will take a look. |

Looks like it's failing with the string literal lookups. I think these two functions were here to handle the string literals. https://github.com/nlohmann/json/pull/2685/files#diff-b56a00981d8f3b87e3ce49a7eb27d36f4586d9c54c3fb628a88cfc000aa5fed4L3813-L3903 |

Here is the issue where they were added to fix this problem: #171 |
|
@nlohmann Have you tried putting back in those two functions? |
|
The CI still fails (https://github.com/nlohmann/json/runs/4618188061?check_suite_focus=true). Any ideas? |

a compile-time string literal is, i believe, never a non-const reference to char, they're always const.
and this appears to be a pointer to non-const reference to array of T ?
If it helps you any, you can make an "Alias" typedef, like this:
template<typename T>
using Alias = T;
Then define the signature of your functions like
template<typename T, std::size_t n>
reference operator[](Alias<T[n]> const&)
{
return ....

I'm afraid I do not understand what you mean. In particular, what should go to the .... part.

What would go into the "...." part is whatever the operator[] function should do when given a const-ref to char array.
I just don't see how the function as currently written could possible do anything. It's parameter is a reference to array of pointers, not a reference to array of values.

Looks like I might have misdirected you a bit. The functions that were added in this commit were the single argument versions:
template<typename T>
reference operator[](T* key)
template<typename T>
const_reference operator[](T* key) const
and it was to support string literals converted to plain pointers, not the actual literals themselves:
const char* _VAR1 = "MyKey";
j[_VAR1] = 10;
char* _VAR1 = "MyKey";
j[_VAR1] = 10;

See #1529 (comment). |
This PR adds support for
std::string_viewfor object access (operator[],at,value,erase).Todo:
contains) also need adjustment.Closes #1529.
