generate_natvis.py hard-coded abi_tags = ['_diag', '_ldvcmp', '_dp', '_bics', '_psp', '_snul'] and required --version on the command line. The source of truth is include/nlohmann/detail/abi_macros.hpp: the NLOHMANN_JSON_ABI_TAG_* defines, the argument order of NLOHMANN_JSON_ABI_TAGS_CONCAT, and NLOHMANN_JSON_VERSION_MAJOR/MINOR/ PATCH. Nothing checked that the copies stayed in sync, and they have drifted apart before: _dp was added in #4517 but missed here until #5544, and 3.11.3 shipped json_abi_v3_11_2 namespaces (#4340). Parse the tag list (in NLOHMANN_JSON_ABI_TAGS_CONCAT order) and the version from abi_macros.hpp instead of hard-coding them. Make --version optional (falling back to the parsed version) and default the output directory to the repository root the script lives in. Add a "natvis" Makefile target that runs the script, and extend check-amalgamation to regenerate nlohmann_json.natvis and fail on a diff, the same way it already does for the amalgamated headers and BUILD.bazel. Wire the same regeneration into check_amalgamation.yml, using the tool copy checked out from develop (as the workflow already does for amalgamate.py) and installing jinja2 from tools/generate_natvis/requirements.txt. Update the tool's README to say it must be re-run after adding an ABI tag or bumping the version. Verified: a run against develop produces no diff (with either the default or an explicit --version 3.12.0); adding a dummy NLOHMANN_JSON_ABI_TAG_* without a matching #define makes the script fail loudly instead of silently omitting the tag; xmllint --noout passes on the regenerated file; and running the script from a directory other than the one being checked (simulating the workflow's separate tool checkout) against this repository root also produces no diff. Overlaps #5600, which added _ekmo to the same hand-written abi_tags line and regenerated the file. #5717 item 3 Signed-off-by: Niels Lohmann <mail@nlohmann.me>
generate_natvis.py
Generate the Natvis debugger visualization file for all supported namespace combinations.
The ABI tag list and the library version are parsed from
include/nlohmann/detail/abi_macros.hpp, so this script must be re-run (via
make natvis) whenever an NLOHMANN_JSON_ABI_TAG_* macro is added to that
file or the library version is bumped — otherwise the committed
nlohmann_json.natvis drifts from the header it visualizes, and
make check-amalgamation fails.
Usage
make natvis
or, equivalently:
./generate_natvis.py [--version X.Y.Z] [repository_root/]
--version and the output/repository-root directory both default to values
derived from this script's own location, so they only need to be given
explicitly when generating a Natvis file for a different checkout or a
version other than the one in abi_macros.hpp.
