Avoid computationally expensive copying operations
when only some settings have been modified.
This is done by adding support for updating parameters
without tagging for copy-on-write.
Currently only mesh data blocks are supported,
other data-blocks can be added individually.
This prepares for changing values such as edit-mesh auto-smooth angle
in edit-mode without duplicating all mesh-data.
The benefit will only be seen when the user interface no longer tags
all ID's for copy on write updates.
ID_RECALC_GEOMETRY_ALL_MODES has been added to support situations
where non edit-mode geometry is modified in edit-mode.
While this isn't something user are likely to do,
Python scripts may change the underlying mesh.

Those were mostly just left over from previous work on particle nodes.
They solved the problem of keeping a reference to an object over
multiple frames and in a cache. Currently, we do not have this problem
in geometry nodes, so we can also remove this layer of complexity

This patch adds initial curve support to geometry nodes. Currently
there is only one node available, the "Curve to Mesh" node, T87428.
However, the aim of the changes here is larger than just supporting
curve data in nodes-- it also uses the opportunity to add better spline
data structures, intended to replace the existing curve evaluation code.
The curve code in Blender is quite old, and it's generally regarded as
some of the messiest, hardest-to-understand code as well. The classes
in `BKE_spline.hh` aim to be faster, more extensible, and much more
easily understandable. Further explanation can be found in comments in
that file.
Initial builtin spline attributes are supported-- reading and writing
from the `cyclic` and `resolution` attributes works with any of the
attribute nodes. Also, only Z-up normal calculation is implemented
at the moment, and tilts do not apply yet.
**Limitations**
- For now, you must bring curves into the node tree with an "Object
Info" node. Changes to the curve modifier stack will come later.
- Converting to a mesh is necessary to visualize the curve data.
Further progress can be tracked in: T87245

This is a change split from the geometry nodes curves branch. Since
curve object modifier evaluation happens in this file, moving it to C++
will be quite helpful to support the `GeometrySet` type. Other than
that, the code in the branch intends to replace a fair amount of this
file anyway, so I don't plan to do any further cleanup here.

The main goal here is to remove the need for a C API to the code in
`mesh_boolean_convert.cc`. This is achieved by moving `MOD_boolean.c`
to C++ and making the necessary changes for it to compile. On top of
that there are some other slight simplifications possible to the
direct mesh boolean code: it doesn't need to copy the material
remaps, and the modifier code can use some other C++ types directly.

This will hopefully allow more refactoring in the future to improve

This adds a new RNA method `Action.flip_with_pose(ob)` to flip the

The rest-pose is used to properly flip the bones transformation.

Add `BKE_pose_apply_action(object, action, anim_eval_context)` function
and expose in RNA as `Pose.apply_action(action, evaluation_time)`.
This makes it possible to do the following:
- Have a rig in pose mode.
- Select a subset of the bones.
- Have some Action loaded that contains the pose you want to apply.
- Run `C.object.pose.apply_pose_from_action(D.actions['PoseName'])`
- The selected bones are now posed as determined by the Action.
Just like Blender's current pose library, having no bones selected acts
the same as having all bones selected.

The Exact modifier code had been written to avoid using BMesh but
in the initial release the modifier still converted all Meshes to
BMeshes, and then after running the boolean code on the BMeshes,
converted the result back to a Mesh.
This change skips that. Most of the work here is in getting the
Custom Data layers right. The approach taken is to merge default
layers from all operand meshes into the final result, and then
use the original verts, edges, polys, and loops to copy or interpolate
the appropriate custom data layers from all operands into the result.

This patch adds a to_curve method to the Object ID. This method is
analogous to the to_mesh method. The method can operate on curve and
text objects. For text objects, the text is converted into a 3D Curve ID
and that curve is returned. For curve objects, if apply_modifiers is
true, the spline deform modifiers will be applied and a Curve ID with
the result will be returned, otherwise a copy of the curve will be
returned.
The goal of this addition is to allow the developer to access the splines
of text objects and to get the result of modifier applications which was
otherwise not possible.

This patch adds icons to the right side of nodes when they encounter a
a problem. When hovered, a tooltip displays describing the encountered
while evaluating the node.
Some examples are: attribute doesn't exist, mesh has no faces,
incorrect attribute type, etc. Exposing more messages to the system
will be an ongoing process. Multiple warnings per node are supported.
The system is implemented somewhat generically so that the basic
structure can also be used to store more information from evaluation
for the interface, like a list of available attributes.
Currently the messages are just button tooltips. They could be styled
differently in the future. Another limitation is that every instance of
a node group in a parent node tree will have the same error messages,
the "evaluation context" used to decide when to display the tooltips
must be extended to support node tree paths.

This patch adds support for accessing corner attributes on the point domain.
The immediate benefit of this is that now (interpolated) uv coordinates are

This change will try to add meta data when using a multilayered open
exr file output node in the compositor. It adds the current scene meta
data and converts existing cryptomatte keys so it follows the
naming that is configured in the file output node.
This change supports the basic use-case where the compositor is
used to output cryptomatte layers with a different naming scheme to
support external compositors. In this case the Multilayered OpenEXR
files are used and the meta data is read from the render result.
Meta data is found when render layer node is connected with the
file output node without any other nodes in between. Redirects and empty
node groups are allowed.
The patch has been verified to work with external compositors.

This implements a mesh fairing algorithm and implements the fair
operations for Face Set edit. This edit operations create a smooth as
possible geometry patch in the area of the selected Face Set.
The mesh fairing algorithm is designed by Brett Fedack for the addon
"Mesh Fairing": https://github.com/fedackb/mesh-fairing, with some
modifications:
- The main fairing function in BKE_mesh_fair.h does not triangulate
the mesh. For the test I did in sculpt mode results are good enough
without triangulating the topology. Depending on the use and the
result quality needed for a particular tool, the mesh can be
triangulate in the affected area before starting fairing.
- Cotangents loop weights are not implemented yet. The idea is to
also expose the vertex and loop weights in a different function in
case a tool needs to set up custom weights.
This algorithm will also be used to solve the limitations of line
project and implement the Lasso Project and Polyline Project tools.
It can also be used in tools in other areas of Blender, like Edit Mode
or future retopology tools.

One of the core design aspects of the Asset Browser is that users can "mount"
custom asset libraries via the Preferences. Currently an asset library is just
a directory with one or more .blend files in it. We could easily support a
single .blend file as asset library as well (rather than a directory). It's
just disabled currently.
Note that in earlier designs, asset libraries were called repositories.
Idea is simple: In Preferences > File Paths, you can create custom libraries,
by setting a name and selecting a path. The name is ensured to be unique. If
the name or path are empty, the Asset Browser will not show it in the list of
available asset libraries.
The library path is not checked for validity, the Asset Browser will allow
selecting invalid libraries, but show a message instead of the file list, to
help the user understand what's going on.
Of course the actual Asset Browser UI is not part of this commit, it's in one

Asset metadata is what turns a regular data-block into an asset. It is a small
data-structure, but a key part of the technical design of the asset system.
The design foresees that asset data-blocks store an `ID.asset_data` pointer of
type `AssetMetaData`. This data **must not** have dependencies on other
data-blocks or data-block data, it must be an independent unit. That way we can
read asset-metadata from .blends without reading anything else from the file.
The Asset Browser will use this metadata (together with the data-block name,
preview and file path) to represent assets in the file list.
Includes:
* New `ID.asset_data` for asset metadata.
* Asset tags, description and custom properties.
* BKE code to manage asset meta-data and asset tags.
* Code to read asset data from files, without reading IDs.
* RNA for asset metadata (including tags)

This changes the way how the mattes are stored in the compositor node. This used to

Cryptomatte is a standard to efficiently create mattes for compositing. The
renderer outputs the required render passes, which can then be used in the
compositor to create masks for specified objects. Unlike the Material and Object
Index passes, the objects to isolate are selected in compositing, and mattes
will be anti-aliased.
Cryptomatte was already available in Cycles this patch adds it to the EEVEE
render engine. Original specification can be found at
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Psyop/Cryptomatte/master/specification/IDmattes_poster.pdf
**Accurate mode**
Following Cycles, there are two accuracy modes. The difference between the two
modes is the number of render samples they take into account to create the
render passes. When accurate mode is off the number of levels is used. When
accuracy mode is active, the number of render samples is used.
**Deviation from standard**
Cryptomatte specification is based on a path trace approach where samples and
coverage are calculated at the same time. In EEVEE a sample is an exact match on
top of a prepared depth buffer. Coverage is at that moment always 1. By sampling
multiple times the number of surface hits decides the actual surface coverage
for a matte per pixel.
**Implementation Overview**
When drawing to the cryptomatte GPU buffer the depth of the fragment is matched
to the active depth buffer. The hashes of each cryptomatte layer is written in
the GPU buffer. The exact layout depends on the active cryptomatte layers. The
GPU buffer is downloaded and integrated into an accumulation buffer (stored in
CPU RAM).
The accumulation buffer stores the hashes + weights for a number of levels,
layers per pixel. When a hash already exists the weight will be increased. When
the hash doesn't exists it will be added to the buffer.
After all the samples have been calculated the accumulation buffer is processed.
During this phase the total pixel weights of each layer is mapped to be in a
range between 0 and 1. The hashes are also sorted (highest weight first).
Blender Kernel now has a `BKE_cryptomatte` header that access to common
functions for cryptomatte. This will in the future be used by the API.
* Alpha blended materials aren't supported. Alpha blended materials support in
render passes needs research how to implement it in a maintainable way for any
render pass.
This is a list of tasks that needs to be done for the same release that this
patch lands on (Blender 2.92)
* T82571 Add render tests.
* T82572 Documentation.
* T82573 Store hashes + Object names in the render result header.
* T82574 Use threading to increase performance in accumulation and post
processing.
* T82575 Merge the cycles and EEVEE settings as they are identical.

This patch adds support for AOVs in EEVEE. AOV Outputs can be defined in the
render pass tab and used in shader materials. Both Object and World based
shaders are supported. The AOV can be previewed in the viewport using the
renderpass selector in the shading popover.
AOV names that conflict with other AOVs are automatically corrected. AOV
conflicts with render passes get a warning icon. The reason behind this is that
changing render engines/passes can change the conflict, but you might not notice
it. Changing this automatically would also make the materials incorrect, so best
to leave this to the user.
**Implementation**
The patch adds a copies the AOV structures of Cycles into Blender. The goal is
that the Cycles will use Blenders AOV defintions. In the Blender kernel
(`layer.c`) the logic of these structures are implemented.
The GLSL shader of any GPUMaterial can hold multiple outputs (the main output
and the AOV outputs) based on the renderPassUBO the right output is selected.
This selection uses an hash that encodes the AOV structure. The full AOV needed
to be encoded when actually drawing the material pass as the AOV type changes
the behavior of the AOV. This isn't known yet when the GLSL is compiled.
**Future Developments**
* The AOV definitions in the render layer panel isn't shared with Cycles.
Cycles should be migrated to use the same viewlayer aovs. During a previous
attempt this failed as the AOV validation in cycles and in Blender have
implementation differences what made it crash when an aov name was invalid.
This could be fixed by extending the external render engine API.
* Add support to Cycles to render AOVs in the 3d viewport.
* Use a drop down list for selecting AOVs in the AOV Output node.
* Give user feedback when multiple AOV output nodes with the same AOV name
exists in the same shader.
* Fix viewing single channel images in the image editor [T83314]
* Reduce viewport render time by only render needed draw passes. [T83316]

Notes on the Generic attribute access API
The API adds an indirection for attribute access. That has the following benefits:
* Most code does not have to care about how an attribute is stored internally.
This is mainly necessary, because we have to deal with "legacy" attributes
such as vertex weights and attributes that are embedded into other structs
such as vertex positions.
* When reading from an attribute, we generally don't care what domain the
attribute is stored on. So we want to abstract away the interpolation that
that adapts attributes from one domain to another domain (this is not
actually implemented yet).
Other possible improvements for later iterations include:
* Actually implement interpolation between domains.
* Don't use inheritance for the different attribute types. A single class for read
access and one for write access might be enough, because we know all the ways
in which attributes are stored internally. We don't want more different internal
structures in the future. On the contrary, ideally we can consolidate the different
storage formats in the future to reduce the need for this indirection.
* Remove the need for heap allocations when creating attribute accessors.

The simple subdivision as a type only causes issues like no-continuous
normals across edges, inability to reliably switch the type and things
like this.
The new subdivision operators supports wider variety of how to add
details to the model, which are more powerful than a single one-time
decision on the subdivision type.
The versioning code is adjusting topology converter to specify all
edges as infinitely sharp. The reason for this (instead of using
settings.is_simple) is because in a longer term the simple subdivision
will be removed from Subsurf modifier as well, and will be replaced

This patch improves the single core performance of the lattice deform.
1. Prefetching deform vert during initialization. This data is constant for
each innerloop. This reduces the complexity of the inner loop what makes
more CPU resources free for other optimizations.
2. Prefetching the Lattice instance. It was constant. Although performance
wise this isn't noticeable it is always good to free some space in the
branch prediction tables.
3. Remove branching in all loops by not exiting when the effect of the loop
isn't there. The checks in the inner loops detected if this loop didn't
have any effect on the final result and then continue to the next loop.
This made the branch prediction unpredictable and a lot of mis
predictions were done. For smaller inner loops it is always better
to remove unpredictable if statements by using branchless code patterns.
4. Use SSE2 instruction when available.
This gives 50% performance increase measured on a
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz with GCC 9.3.

`BKE_mesh_calc_edges` was the main performance bottleneck in D9141.
While openvdb only needed ~115ms, calculating the edges afterwards
took ~960ms. Now with some parallelization this is reduced to ~210ms.
Parallelizing `BKE_mesh_calc_edges` is not entirely trivial, because it
has to perform deduplication and some other things that have to happen
in a certain order. Even though the multithreading improves performance
with more threads, there are diminishing returns when too many threads
are used in this function.
The speedup is mainly achieved by having multiple hash tables that are
filled in parallel. The distribution of the edges to hash tables is based on
a hash (that is different from the hash used in the actual hash tables).
I moved the function to C++, because that made it easier for me to
optimize it. Furthermore, I added `BLI_task.hh` which contains some
light tbb wrappers for parallelization.
