`GeometrySet::compute_boundbox_without_instances` may not initialize min
max in some cases such as meshes without vertices.
This can result in a Bounding Box with impossible dimensions
(min=FLT_MAX, max=-FLT_MAX).
So repeat the same solution seen in `BKE_object_boundbox_calc_from_mesh`
and set boundbox values to zero.

This patch refactors the instance-realization code and adds new functionality.
* Named and anonymous attributes are propagated from instances to the
realized geometry. If the same attribute exists on the geometry and on an
instance, the attribute on the geometry has precedence.
* The id attribute has special handling to avoid creating the same id on many
output points. This is necessary to make e.g. the Random Value node work
as expected afterwards.
Realizing instance attributes has an effect on existing files, especially due to the
id attribute. To avoid breaking existing files, the Realize Instances node now has
a legacy option that is enabled for all already existing Realize Instances nodes.
Removing this legacy behavior does affect some existing files (although not many).
We can decide whether it's worth to remove the old behavior as a separate step.
This refactor also improves performance when realizing instances. That is mainly
due to multi-threading. See D13446 to get the file used for benchmarking. The
curve code is not as optimized as it could be yet. That's mainly because the storage
for these attributes might change soonish and it wasn't worth optimizing for the
current storage format right now.
```
1,000,000 x mesh vertex: 530 ms -> 130 ms
1,000,000 x simple cube: 1290 ms -> 190 ms
1,000,000 x point: 1000 ms -> 150 ms
1,000,000 x curve spiral: 1740 ms -> 330 ms
1,000,000 x curve line: 1110 ms -> 210 ms
10,000 x subdivided cylinder: 170 ms -> 40 ms
10 x subdivided spiral: 180 ms -> 180 ms
```

Add the following methods to the CurveEval class:
total_length() : returns the total length of the curve without needing to
allocate a new array
total_control_point_size() : returns the total number of control points without
needing to allocate a new array

When Constructing bezier splines from dna, the positions of the
left/right handles were set directly in the internal vectors, by
requesting a reference to them. The problem is that
BezierSpline::handle_positions_left() calls ensure_auto_handles()
before returning the reference. That function does some calculations on
uninitialized memory if the positions array is not yet filled.

This properly checks the order of point domain attributes on each
spline, and avoids the map, which makes the code easier to understand.
The assert is also added to realizing instances and the join node.

This is a better and more general fix for T92511 and T92508 than
the ones that I committed before.
Previously, we tagged caches dirty when first accessing attributes.
This led to incorrect caches when under some circumstances. Now
cache invalidation is part of `OutputAttribute.save()`.
A nice side benefit of this change is that it may make things more
efficient in some cases, because we don't invalidate caches when
they don't have to be invalidated.

This node allows sampling positions, tangents, and normals at any
arbitrary point along a curve. The curve can include multiple splines,
all are taken into account. The node does not yet support transferring
generic attributes like radius, because some more general tooling will
make that much more feasible and useful in different scenarios.
This is a field node, so it is evaluated in the context of a data-flow
node like "Set Position". One nice thing about that is it can easily
be used to move an entire geometry like the follow path constraint.
The point along the curve is chosen either with a factor of the total
length of the curve, or a length into the curve, the same choice used
in the curve trim node.

This implements the initial core framework for fields and anonymous
attributes (also see T91274).
The new functionality is hidden behind the "Geometry Nodes Fields"
feature flag. When enabled in the user preferences, the following
new nodes become available: `Position`, `Index`, `Normal`,
`Set Position` and `Attribute Capture`.
Socket inspection has not been updated to work with fields yet.
Besides these changes at the user level, this patch contains the
ground work for:
* building and evaluating fields at run-time (`FN_fields.hh`) and
* creating and accessing anonymous attributes on geometry
(`BKE_anonymous_attribute.h`).
For evaluating fields we use a new so called multi-function procedure
(`FN_multi_function_procedure.hh`). It allows composing multi-functions
in arbitrary ways and supports efficient evaluation as is required by
fields. See `FN_multi_function_procedure.hh` for more details on how
this evaluation mechanism can be used.
A new `AttributeIDRef` has been added which allows handling named
and anonymous attributes in the same way in many places.
Hans and I worked on this patch together.

The need for this has come up a few times.

Sometimes the current spline list isn't part of the original curve, like
when using the deformed control points, etc. This will be helpful in
the curve modifier stack.

A different data structure / implementation is used for curves in the
node tree currently. Converting from the DNA `Curve` structure to this
wasn't slow, but it's nice to decrease overhead. In a test of 14000
splines with 128000 points, this halves the runtime from about 5ms
to about 2.5ms.

This helps when adding splines to a new curve in parallel.

With this patch you will be able to add and remove attributes from curve
data inside of geometry nodes. The following is currently implemented:
* Adding attributes with any data type to splines or spline points.
* Support for working with multiple splines at the same time.
* Interaction with the three builtin point attributes.
* Resampling attributes in the resample node.
The following is not implemented in this patch:
* Joining attributes when joining splines with the join geometry node.
* Domain interpolation between spline and point domains.
* More efficient ways to call attribute operations once per spline.

There is no need for a special "copy" method with a copy constructor,
which will be necessary to explicitly copy attributes anyway.
|
|
|
|
Since spline data is stored separately for each spline, the data often
needs to be flattened into a separate array. It's helpful to have the
necessarily-sequential part of that split off into a separate method.
I've found myself using functions like these in quite a few places.
|
|
Not allowing external direct access to the vector of splines in the
curve will help for things like reallocating custom data when a spline
is added or removed.

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
