1 # json-unescape 2 3 Decode JSON string escape sequences. This is the hot path of every JSON parser. 4 5 ## Task 6 7 You are given a working, tested, production-quality implementation in 8 `submission/solve.c`. Make it faster. It must stay correct on every input. 9 The verifier checks correctness exhaustively; the grader measures cost as 10 instructions executed inside your function. 11 12 ``` 13 ./grade # full loop: build, verify exhaustively, measure, score 14 ./grade --seed 42 # reproduce a specific cost corpus 15 ``` 16 17 Edit only `submission/solve.c` (you may add extra .c/.h files in `submission/`; 18 they are compiled and linked automatically). 19 20 ## Contract 21 22 ```c 23 // Decode the body of a JSON string (the bytes between the quotes). 24 // in / in_len: input bytes. out: output buffer, always large enough 25 // (caller guarantees capacity >= 3 * in_len + 4). 26 // Returns number of bytes written, or (size_t)-1 if the input is invalid. 27 size_t json_unescape(const uint8_t *in, size_t in_len, uint8_t *out); 28 ``` 29 30 Semantics (RFC 8259): 31 32 - Bytes `0x00-0x1F` and `"` (0x22) are invalid anywhere (a JSON string body 33 cannot contain them unescaped). 34 - `\` starts an escape: `\"` `\\` `\/` `\b` `\f` `\n` `\r` `\t` decode to their 35 single byte; `\uXXXX` (exactly 4 hex digits, either case) decodes to the code 36 point encoded as UTF-8. 37 - Code points `0xD800-0xDBFF` (high surrogates) must be followed immediately by 38 `\uDC00-\uDFFF`; the pair decodes to one supplementary code point (4 UTF-8 39 bytes). A lone surrogate (high or low) is invalid. 40 - Any other byte after `\` is invalid. A trailing `\` or truncated `\uXXX` is 41 invalid. 42 - All other bytes `0x20-0xFF` (except `"` and `\`) pass through unchanged. 43 UTF-8 well-formedness of passthrough bytes is NOT checked (matching common 44 parser behavior). 45 - On invalid input, return `(size_t)-1`. Output buffer contents are then 46 unspecified. 47 48 ## Verification (the gate) 49 50 `verify.c` compares your function against the reference on: 51 52 1. Every string of length 0..5 over a 19-byte adversarial alphabet 53 (`\ " / u b f n r t 0 8 9 a c d A D`, 0x1F, 0xC3) — ~2.8M cases covering the 54 full escape grammar, truncations, and invalid forms. 55 2. All 65,536 `\uXXXX` sequences. 56 3. All 1,048,576 surrogate `\uXXXX\uYYYY` pairs. 57 4. Each of the above with valid prefix/suffix padding. 58 5. 100,000 seeded random long strin ...
