Read Access Violation on copy of existing element to new element

[streetjimmothy]

Version of Boost

1_84

Steps necessary to reproduce the problem

Expected Behaviour: assigning an existing property on a JSON to a key that does not exist should work the same as when the assignment is made to an existing key, or when any other value is assigned to a key that does not exist. Actual Behaviour: read access violation Case 1: object["existing_key"] = object["old_key"]; //works Case 2: object["new_key"] = "new_value"; //works Case 3: object["new_key"] = object["old_key"]; //read access violation

As I was writing the above, I discovered that you don't get the error if any new element is assigned prior to the copy. This works: object["new_key"] = "new_value"; object["another_new_key"] = object["existing_key"]; This does not: object["another_new_key"] = object["existing_key"]; //read access violation object["new_key"] = "new_value";

Please provide a minimal complete verifiable example, so that I can attempt to reproduce the error. As is, I tried locally, and the error you are describing doesn't manifest.

Thanks for the quick response; I'll whip one up in the next few days
