// This translation unit is a dedicated, small compile-and-run check for two
// configuration macros that (per #5423) were never exercised anywhere in the
// test matrix:
// - JSON_NO_IO, which removes the library's <istream>/<ostream> support
//   (operator<<, operator>>, and the stream-based overloads of dump()/parse())
// - the JSON_THROW_USER / JSON_TRY_USER / JSON_CATCH_USER trio, which lets a
//   user replace the library's internal exception handling
//
// Both macros are about excluding/replacing a facility the library would
// otherwise pull in on its own, and defining one has no bearing on the other,
// so -- to keep the test matrix small -- they are exercised together in a
// single dedicated file instead of two.
//
// JSON_NO_IO requires this file itself to never rely on <iostream>/<sstream>;
// only string-based parsing/dumping is used below.
#define JSON_NO_IO 1

// The user-supplied exception macros below are a *conforming* replacement:
// they simply forward to the real throw/try/catch keywords (via a counter so
// the test can assert each macro was actually invoked, not just defined), so
// every exception-related behavior the library relies on internally --
// including rethrowing std::out_of_range as json::out_of_range in at() --
// keeps working exactly as it would with the library's own default macros.
static int json_throw_user_call_count = 0; // NOLINT(cppcoreguidelines-avoid-non-const-global-variables)

// this test relies on CHECK_THROWS_AS() actually invoking the guarded
// expression so json_throw_user_call_count gets bumped and can be observed

// passes, together with a global -DJSON_NOEXCEPTION added to CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS
// for every translation unit in that build, this file included) compiles
// CHECK_THROWS_AS() out to a no-op that never even invokes the given
// expression -- so json::parse()/at() below would never be called at all and
// the call-count assertions would fail even though our JSON_THROW_USER
// override (which always really throws, regardless of JSON_NOEXCEPTION) would
// have worked fine on its own
