Converting to the SoA format (T95965) immediately when reading meshes
means that none of the changes from versioning would be applied first.
This means important fixes like f14995aba70a aren't properly applied,
so modifications could be done to invalid CustomData. To fix this, move
the SoA changes into versioning code, in a new versioning_400.cc file.

`MPoly` is used and copied in many places. To avoid the need to use a
special function for copying MPoly, or the need to add a copy
constructor, just rename the `mat_nr` field to include "legacy" in the
name. This keeps the original purpose of notifying developers that
the field shouldn't be used without any further complexity.
Apply the same fix to `bweight`.

When there was only a single material assigned to the mesh, the material
index attribute didn't necessarily exist. Changing the oder of the slots
wouldn't change the first material index as necessary.

When resizing mesh and curves attribute storage, avoid initializing the
new memory for basic types. Also, avoid skipping "no free" layers; all
layers should be reallocated to the new size since they may be accessed.
The semantics introduced in 25237d2625078c6d1 are essential for this
change, because otherwise we don't have a way to construct non-trivial
types in the new memory.
In a basic test of the extrude node, I observed a performance

This attribute is still read and written in the legacy format which

As described in T95966, the goal is to move to a "struct of arrays"
approach rather than gathering an arbitrary set of data in hard-coded
structs. This has performance benefits, but also code complexity
benefits (this patch removes plenty of code, though the boilerplate
for the new operators outweighs that here).
To mirror the internal change, the options for storing mesh bevel
weights are converted into operators that add or remove the layer,
like for some other layers.
The most complex change is to the solidify modifier, where bevel
weights had special handling. Other than that, most changes are
removing clearing of the weights, boilerplate for the add/remove
operators, and removing the manual transfer of bevel weights
in bmesh - mesh conversion.
Eventually bevel weights can become a fully generic attribute,
but for now this patch aims to avoid most functional changes.
Bevel weights are still written and read from the mesh in the old way,
so neither forward nor backward compatibility are affected. As described
in T95965, writing in the old format will be done until 4.0.

- Remove "take ownership" argument which was confusing and always true
- The argument made ownership very confusing
- Better to avoid boolean arguments that switch a function's purpose
- Remove "mask" argument which was basically wrong and not used properly
- "EVERYTHING" was used because developers are wary of removing data
- Instead use `CD_MASK_MESH` for its purpose of original mesh data
- Remove use of shallow copied temporary mesh, which is unnecessary now
- Split shape key processing into separate functions and use C++ types
- Copy fields explicitly rather than using memcpy for the whole struct
- Use higher level functions and avoid redundant code
- The whole idea is pretty simple and can be built from standard logic
- Adjust `CustomData` logic to be consistent with "assign" expectations
- Clear the layer data from the source, and moves the anonymous ID

This patch consists of two related fixes. The first is a simple fix for
forward compatibility, setting the Mesh.dvert pointer when writing a
file allows old Blender versions to read vertex groups from newly saved
files.
The second part is a bit uglier and more complex. Normally mesh vertex
group data is read in mesh_blend_read_data, for backward compatibility
with very old files. However, after 05952aa94d33eeb50 the mesh.dvert
pointer was not set, so the data was not read. Reading vertex group
layers when reading custom data is enough to fix that issue. We need to
read the data from *both* places, but BKE_defvert_blend_read cannot run
twice without memory leaks, so first try reading from custom data, then
read the pointer if that fails.

Use `verts` instead of `vertices` and `polys` instead of `polygons`

For copy-on-write, we want to share attribute arrays between meshes
where possible. Mutable pointers like `Mesh.mvert` make that difficult
by making ownership vague. They also make code more complex by adding
redundancy.
The simplest solution is just removing them and retrieving layers from
`CustomData` as needed. Similar changes have already been applied to
curves and point clouds (e9f82d3dc7ee, 410a6efb747f). Removing use of
the pointers generally makes code more obvious and more reusable.
Mesh data is now accessed with a C++ API (`Mesh::edges()` or
`Mesh::edges_for_write()`), and a C API (`BKE_mesh_edges(mesh)`).
The CoW changes this commit makes possible are described in T95845
and T95842, and started in D14139 and D14140. The change also simplifies
the ongoing mesh struct-of-array refactors from T95965.
**RNA/Python Access Performance**
Theoretically, accessing mesh elements with the RNA API may become
slower, since the layer needs to be found on every random access.
However, overhead is already high enough that this doesn't make a
noticible differenc, and performance is actually improved in some
cases. Random access can be up to 10% faster, but other situations
might be a bit slower. Generally using `foreach_get/set` are the best
way to improve performance. See the differential revision for more
discussion about Python performance.
Cycles has been updated to use raw pointers and the internal Blender
mesh types, mostly because there is no sense in having this overhead
when it's already compiled with Blender. In my tests this roughly
halves the Cycles mesh creation time (0.19s to 0.10s for a 1 million
face grid).

This patch moves material indices from the mesh `MPoly` struct to a
generic integer attribute. The builtin material index was already
exposed in geometry nodes, but this makes it a "proper" attribute
accessible with Python and visible in the "Attributes" panel.
The goals of the refactor are code simplification and memory and
performance improvements, mainly because the attribute doesn't have
to be stored and processed if there are no materials. However, until
4.0, material indices will still be read and written in the old
format, meaning there may be a temporary increase in memory usage.
Further notes:
* Completely removing the `MPoly.mat_nr` after 4.0 may require
changes to DNA or introducing a new `MPoly` type.
* Geometry nodes regression tests didn't look at material indices,
so the change reveals a bug in the realize instances node that I fixed.
* Access to material indices from the RNA `MeshPolygon` type is slower
with this patch. The `material_index` attribute can be used instead.
* Cycles is changed to read from the attribute instead.
* BMesh isn't changed in this patch. Theoretically it could be though,
to save 2 bytes per face when less than two materials are used.
* Eventually we could use a 16 bit integer attribute type instead.

When allocating new `CustomData` layers, often we do redundant
initialization of arrays. For example, it's common that values are
allocated, set to their default value, and then set to some other
value. This is wasteful, and it negates the benefits of optimizations
to the allocator like D15082. There are two reasons for this. The
first is array-of-structs storage that makes it annoying to initialize
values manually, and the second is confusing options in the Custom Data
API. This patch addresses the latter.
The `CustomData` "alloc type" options are rearranged. Now, besides
the options that use existing layers, there are two remaining:
* `CD_SET_DEFAULT` sets the default value.
* Usually zeroes, but for colors this is white (how it was before).
* Should be used when you add the layer but don't set all values.
* `CD_CONSTRUCT` refers to the "default construct" C++ term.
* Only necessary or defined for non-trivial types like vertex groups.
* Doesn't do anything for trivial types like `int` or `float3`.
* Should be used every other time, when all values will be set.
The attribute API's `AttributeInit` types are updated as well.
To update code, replace `CD_CALLOC` with `CD_SET_DEFAULT` and
`CD_DEFAULT` with `CD_CONSTRUCT`. This doesn't cause any functional
changes yet. Follow-up commits will change to avoid initializing
new layers where the correctness is clear.

Before 8c25889bb67db4c, subsurf face center tags were stored in each
vertex, so they were always copied to duplicate meshes. Now they are
stored in runtime data though, so they need to be copied explicitly.
The function name "reset_on_copy" is a bit awkward here, so the
tags are copied by the caller.

This commit moves the hide status of mesh vertices, edges, and faces
from the `ME_FLAG` to optional generic boolean attributes. Storing this
data as generic attributes can significantly simplify and improve code,
as described in T95965.
The attributes are called `.hide_vert`, `.hide_edge`, and `.hide_poly`,
using the attribute name semantics discussed in T97452. The `.` prefix
means they are "UI attributes", so they still contain original data
edited by users, but they aren't meant to be accessed procedurally by
the user in arbitrary situations. They are also be hidden in the
spreadsheet and the attribute list by default,
Until 4.0, the attributes are still written to and read from the mesh
in the old way, so neither forward nor backward compatibility are
affected. This means memory requirements will be increased by one byte
per element when the hide status is used. When the flags are removed
completely, requirements will decrease when hiding is unused.
Further notes:
* Some code can be further simplified to skip some processing when the
hide attributes don't exist.
* The data is still stored in flags for `BMesh`, necessitating some
complexity in the conversion to and from `Mesh`.
* Access to the "hide" property of mesh elements in RNA is slower.
The separate boolean arrays should be used where possible.

A mesh wrapper might be being accessed for read-only from one thread
while another thread converts the wrapper type to something else.
The proposes solution is to defer assignment of the mesh wrapper
type until the wrapper is fully converted. The good thing about this
approach is that it does not introduce extra synchronization (and,
potentially, evaluation pipeline stalls). The downside is that it
might not work with all possible wrapper types in the future. If a
wrapper type which does not clear data separation is ever added in
the future we will re-consider the threading safety then.
Unfortunately, some changes outside of the mesh wrapper file are
to be made to allow "incremental" construction of the mesh prior
changing its wrapper type.
Unfortunately, there is no simplified file which demonstrates the
issue. It was investigated using Heist production file checked at
the revision 1228: `pro/lib/char/einar/einar.shading.blend`. The
repro case is simple: tab into edit mode, possibly few times.
The gist is that there several surface deform and shrinkwrap
modifiers which uses the same target. While one of them is building
BVH tree (which changes wrapper type) the other one accesses it for
read-only via `BKE_mesh_wrapper_vert_coords_copy_with_mat4()`.

Curves that are attached to a surface can now follow the surface when
it is modified using shape keys or modifiers (but not when the original
surface is deformed in edit or sculpt mode).
The surface is allowed to be changed in any way that keeps uv maps
intact. So deformation is allowed, but also some topology changes like
subdivision.
The following features are added:
* A new `Deform Curves on Surface` node, which deforms curves with
attachment information based on the surface object and uv map set
in the properties panel.
* A new `Add Rest Position` checkbox in the shape keys panel. When checked,
a new `rest_position` vector attribute is added to the mesh before shape
keys and modifiers are applied. This is necessary to support proper
deformation of the curves, but can also be used for other purposes.
* The `Add > Curve > Empty Hair` operator now sets up a simple geometry
nodes setup that deforms the hair. It also makes sure that the rest
position attribute is added to the surface.
* A new `Object (Attach Curves to Surface)` operator in the `Set Parent To`
(ctrl+P) menu, which attaches existing curves to the surface and sets the
surface object as parent.
Limitations:
* Sculpting the procedurally deformed curves will be implemented separately.
* The `Deform Curves on Surface` node is not generic and can only be used
for one specific purpose currently. We plan to generalize this more in the
future by adding support by exposing more inputs and/or by turning it into
a node group.

It's helpful to make the separation of legacy data formats explicit,
because it declutters actively changed code and makes it clear which
areas do not follow Blender's current design. In this case I separated
the `MFace`/"tessface" conversion code into a separate blenkernel
.cc file and header. This also makes refactoring to remove these
functions simpler because they're easier to find.
In the future, conversions to the `MLoopUV` type and `MVert`
can be implemented here for the same reasons (see T95965).

We store various lazily calculated caches on meshes, some of which
depend on the vertex positions staying the same. The current API to
invalidate these caches is a bit confusing. With an explicit set of
functions modeled after the functions in `BKE_node_tree_update.h`,
it becomes clear which function to call. This may become more
important if more lazy caches are added in the future.

Previously the function had a fair amount of ugly boilerplate to avoid
allocating the temporary layers array, and then free it if necessary.
`blender::Vector` solves that problem more elegantly. Passing a span,

the functions simpler.
This refactoring is in preparation for D14583 and D14685.

Add a property to the **Shade Smooth** operator to quickly enable the Mesh `use_auto_smooth` option.

The operator is exposed in the `Object` menu and `Object Context Menu`.

Regarding the implementation, there are multiple ways to go about this (like making a whole new operator altogether), but I think a property is the cleanest/simplest.
I imagine there are simpler ways to achieve this without duplicating the `use_auto_smooth` property in the operator itself (getting it from the Mesh props?), but I couldn't find other operators doing something similar.

This is mostly a cleanup to avoid hardcoding the eager calculation of

This commit removes sculpt colors from experimental

introduces the concept of "color attributes", which
are any attributes that represents colors. Color
attributes can be represented with byte or floating-point

Currently there is a "calc_face_normal" argument to mesh to bmesh
conversion, but vertex normals had always implicitly inherited whatever
dirty state the mesh input's vertex normals were in. Probably they were
most often assumed to not be dirty, but this was never really correct in
the general case.
Ever since the refactor to move vertex normals out of mesh vertices,
cfa53e0fbeed7178c7, the copying logic has been explicit: copy the
normals when they are not dirty. But it turns out that more control is
needed, and sometimes normals should be calculated for the resulting
BMesh.
This commit adds an option to the conversion to calculate vertex
normals, true by default. In almost all places except the decimate
and edge split modifiers, I just copied the value of the
"calc_face_normals" argument.

Normals aren't stored in custom data anymore, nor are they stored in
MVert for comparisons.
|

These were only set in two places. One was related to "tessellated loop
normal", and the other derived corner normals. The values were never
checked though, after 59343ee1627f4c369. The handling of dirty face
corner normals is clearly problematic, but in the future it should be
handled like the normal layers on the other domains instead.

Currently, when normals are calculated for a const mesh, a custom data
layer might be added if it doesn't already exist. Adding a custom data
layer to a mesh is not thread-safe, so this can be a problem in some
situations.
This commit moves derived mesh normals for polygons and
vertices out of `CustomData` to `Mesh_Runtime`. Most of the
hard work for this was already done by rBcfa53e0fbeed7178.
Some changes to logic elsewhere are necessary/helpful:
- No need to call both `BKE_mesh_runtime_clear_cache` and
`BKE_mesh_normals_tag_dirty`, since the former also does the latter.
- Cleanup/simplify mesh conversion and copying since normals are
handled with other runtime data.
Storing these normals like other runtime data clarifies their status
as derived data, meaning custom data moves more towards storing
original/editable data. This means normals won't automatically benefit
from the planned copy-on-write refactor (T95845), so it will have to be
added manually like for the other runtime data.

It's better not to expose the details of where the dirty flags are
stored to every place that wants to know if the normals are dirty.
Some of these places are relics from before vertex normals were
computed lazily anyway, so this is more of an incrememtal cleanup.
This will make part of the fix for T95839 simpler.

Currently, whenever any BMesh is converted to a Mesh (except for edit
mode switching), original index (`CD_ORIGINDEX`) layers are added.
This is incorrect, because many operations just convert some Mesh into
a BMesh and then back, but they shouldn't make any assumption about
where their input mesh came from. It might even come from a primitive
in geometry nodes, where there are no original indices at all.
Conceptually, mesh original indices should be filled by the modifier
stack when first creating the evaluated mesh. So that's where they're
moved in this patch. A separate function now fills the indices with their
default (0,1,2,3...) values. The way the mesh wrapper system defers
the BMesh to Mesh conversion makes this a bit less obvious though.
The old behavior is incorrect, but it's also slower, because three
arrays the size of the mesh's vertices, edges, and faces had to be
allocated and filled during the BMesh to Mesh conversion, which just
ends up putting more pressure on the cache. In the many cases where
original indices aren't used, I measured an **8% speedup** for the
conversion (from 76.5ms to 70.7ms).
Generally there is an assumption that BMesh is "original" and Mesh is
"evaluated". After this patch, that assumption isn't quite as strong,
but it still exists for two reasons. First, original indices are added
whenever converting a BMesh "wrapper" to a Mesh. Second, original
indices are not added to the BMesh at the beginning of evaluation,
which assumes that every BMesh in the viewport is original and doesn't
need the mapping.

This patch reverses the dependency between `BLI_math_vec_types.hh` and

depend on the header that defines the types they work with, rather than
the other way around.
The initial goal was to allow defining an `enable_if` in the types header

dependency is more natural anyway.
This required changing the includes some files used from the type
header to the math implementation header. I took that change a bit
further removing the C vector math header from the C++ header;
I think that helps to make the transition between the two systems

The evaluated mesh is a result of evaluated modifiers, and referencing
other evaluated IDs such as materials.
It can not be stored in the EditMesh structure which is intended to be
re-used by many areas. Such sharing was causing ownership errors causing
bugs like
T93855: Cycles crash with edit mode and simultaneous viewport and final render
The proposed solution is to store the evaluated edit mesh and its cage in
the object's runtime field. The motivation goes as following:
- It allows to avoid ownership problems like the ones in the linked report.
- Object level is chosen over mesh level is because the evaluated mesh
is affected by modifiers, which are on the object level.
This patch allows to have modifier stack of an object which shares mesh with
an object which is in edit mode to be properly taken into account (before
the change the modifier stack from the active object will be used for all
objects which share the mesh).
There is a change in the way how copy-on-write is handled in the edit mode to
allow proper state update when changing active scene (or having two windows
with different scenes). Previously, the copt-on-write would have been ignored
by skipping tagging CoW component. Now it is ignored from within the CoW
operation callback. This allows to update edit pointers for objects which are
not from the current depsgraph and where the edit_mesh was never assigned in
the case when the depsgraph was evaluated prior the active depsgraph.
There is no user level changes changes expected with the CoW handling changes:
should not affect on neither performance, nor memory consumption.
Tested scenarios:
- Various modifiers configurations of objects sharing mesh and be part of the
same scene.
- Steps from the reports: T93855, T82952, T77359
This also fixes T76609, T72733 and perhaps other reports.
