Caused by 21f2bacad977d3fd83d which misunderstood the logic handling
shape keys in this function. The shape key on the original mesh in the
main data-base should be cleared if the "no-main" mesh doesn't have any
shape key layers and the vertex count has changed. The complexity is
necessary because shape keys are stored differently on original and
evaluated meshes.
Also change to "Warn" because this is expected behavior in some cases,
like when applying a geometry nodes modifier that creates a new mesh
from scratch.

This commit replaces the `Mesh_Runtime` struct embedded in `Mesh`
with `blender::bke::MeshRuntime`. This has quite a few benefits:
- It's possible to use C++ types like `std::mutex`, `Array`,
`BitVector`, etc. more easily
- Meshes saved in files are slightly smaller
- Copying and writing meshes is a bit more obvious without
clearing of runtime data, etc.
The first is by far the most important. It will allows us to avoid a
bunch of manual memory management boilerplate that is error-prone and
annoying. It should also simplify future CoW improvements for runtime
data.
This patch doesn't change anything besides changing `mesh.runtime.data`
to `mesh.runtime->data`. The cleanups above will happen separately.

The wrong mesh was used to read the position attribute. Also, there was
always a warning about missing shape keys when that wasn't the case.

This is the conventional way of dealing with unused arguments in C++,
since it works on all compilers.

This is very similar to D14077. There are two differences though.
First is that vertex creases are already stored in a separate layer,
and second is that we can now completely remove use of `Mesh.cd_flag`,
since that information is now inherent to whether the layers exist.
There are two functional differences here:
* Operators are used to add and remove layers instead of a property.
* The "crease" attribute can be created and removed by geometry nodes.
The second change should make various geometry nodes slightly faster,
since the "crease" attribute was always processed before. Creases are
now interpolated generically in the CustomData API too, which should
help maintain the values across edits better.
Meshes get an `edge_creases` RNA property like the existing vertex
property, to provide more efficient access to the data in Cycles.
One test failure is expected, where different rounding between float
the old char storage means that 5 additional points are scattered in
a geometry nodes test.

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
improvement of about 30%, from 55ms to 42ms.

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

Use `verts` instead of `vertices` and `polys` instead of `polygons`
in the API added in 05952aa94d33eeb50. This aligns better with
existing naming where the shorter names are much more common.

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.

With the ultimate goal of simplifying drawing and evaluation,
this patch makes the following changes and removes code:
- Use `Mesh` instead of `DispList` for evaluated basis metaballs.
- Remove all `DispList` drawing code, which is now unused.
- Simplify code that converts evaluated metaballs to meshes.
- Store the evaluated mesh in the evaluated geometry set.
This has the following indirect benefits:
- Evaluated meshes from metaball objects can be used in geometry nodes.
- Renderers can ignore evaluated metaball objects completely
- Cycles rendering no longer has to convert to mesh from `DispList`.
- We get closer to removing `DispList` completely.
- Optimizations to mesh rendering will also apply to metaball objects.
The vertex normals on the evaluated mesh are technically invalid;
the regular calculation wouldn't reproduce them. Metaball objects
don't support modifiers though, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Eventually we can support per-vertex custom normals (T93551).

The fix from c0fdf16561034f85aadae8a was missing in one place. We don't
want to free the edit mode pointers, those are just copied because the

Currently, there are two attribute API. The first, defined in `BKE_attribute.h` is
accessible from RNA and C code. The second is implemented with `GeometryComponent`
and is only accessible in C++ code. The second is widely used, but only being
accessible through the `GeometrySet` API makes it awkward to use, and even impossible
for types that don't correspond directly to a geometry component like `CurvesGeometry`.
This patch adds a new attribute API, designed to replace the `GeometryComponent`
attribute API now, and to eventually replace or be the basis of the other one.
The basic idea is that there is an `AttributeAccessor` class that allows code to
interact with a set of attributes owned by some geometry. The accessor itself has
no ownership. `AttributeAccessor` is a simple type that can be passed around by
value. That makes it easy to return it from functions and to store it in containers.
For const-correctness, there is also a `MutableAttributeAccessor` that allows
changing individual and can add or remove attributes.
Currently, `AttributeAccessor` is composed of two pointers. The first is a pointer
to the owner of the attribute data. The second is a pointer to a struct with
function pointers, that is similar to a virtual function table. The functions
know how to access attributes on the owner.
The actual attribute access for geometries is still implemented with the `AttributeProvider`
pattern, which makes it easy to support different sources of attributes on a
geometry and simplifies dealing with built-in attributes.
There are different ways to get an attribute accessor for a geometry:
* `GeometryComponent.attributes()`
* `CurvesGeometry.attributes()`
* `bke::mesh_attributes(const Mesh &)`
* `bke::pointcloud_attributes(const PointCloud &)`
All of these also have a `_for_write` variant that returns a `MutabelAttributeAccessor`.

In some cases (when there is an evaluated curve), the conversion code
would try to free the evaluated data-block twice, because freeing the
object would free it from `data_eval` and then the data-block was freed
again explicitly. Now check if the data-block is stored in `data_eval`
before freeing `object.data` manually. This is another area that's made
more complex by the fact that we change the meaning of `object.data`
for evaluated objects. The solution is more complicated than it should
be, but it works whether or not an evaluated mesh or curve exists.

Headers should only include other headers when absolutely necessary,

Similar to cf69652618fefcd22b2cde9a2.
|
|
Implementing removal of anonymous attributes with `GeometryComponent`
instead of `Mesh` makes it more reusable for other types like curves.
|
|
This is mostly a cleanup to avoid hardcoding the eager calculation of
normals it isn't necessary, by reducing calls to `BKE_mesh_calc_normals`
and by removing calls to `BKE_mesh_normals_tag_dirty` when the mesh
is newly created and already has dirty normals anyway. This reduces
boilerplate code and makes the "dirty by default" state more clear.
Any regressions from this commit should be easy to fix, though the
lazy calculation is solid enough that none are expected.

This commit changes the Curve to Mesh node to work with `Curves`
instead of `CurveEval`. The change ends up basically completely
rewriting the node, since the different attribute storage means that
the decisions made previously don't make much sense anymore.
The main loops are now "for each attribute: for each curve combination"
rather than the other way around, with the goal of taking advantage
of the locality of curve attributes. This improvement is quite
noticeable with many small curves; I measured a 4-5x improvement
(around 4-5s to <1s) when converting millions of curves to tens of
millions of faces. I didn't obverse any change in performance compared
to 3.1 with fewer curves though.
The changes also solve an algorithmic flaw where any interpolated
attributes would be evaluated for every curve combination instead
of just once per curve. This can be a large improvement when there
are many profile curves.
The code relies heavily on a function `foreach_curve_combination`
which calculates some basic information about each combination and
calls a templated function. I made assumptions about unnecessary reads
being removed by compiler optimizations. For further performance
improvements in the future that might be an area to investigate.
Another might be using a "for a group of curves: for each attribute:
for each curve" pattern to increase the locality of memory access.

This change makes it possible to add implementation of common
C++ methods for DNA structures which helps ensuring unsafe
operations like shallow copy are done explicitly.
For example, creating a shallow copy used to be:
Object temp_object = *input_object;
In the C++ context it was seen like the temp_object is
properly decoupled from the input object, while in the
reality is it not. Now this code becomes:
Object temp_object = blender::dna::shallow_copy(*input_object);
The copy and move constructor and assignment operators are
now explicitly disabled.
Other than a more explicit resource management this change
also solves a lot of warnings generated by the implicitly
defined copy constructors w.r.t dealing with deprecated fields.
These warnings were generated by Apple Clang when a shallow
object copy was created via implicitly defined copy constructor.
In order to enable C++ methods for DNA structures a newly added
macro `DNA_DEFINE_CXX_METHODS()` is to be used:
tpyedef struct Object {
DNA_DEFINE_CXX_METHODS(Object)
...
} Object;
For the shallow copy use `blender::dna::shallow_copy()`.
The implementation of the memcpy is hidden via an internal DNA
function to avoid pulling `string.h` into every DNA header.
This means that the solution does not affect on the headers
dependencies.

Ideally `DNA_shallow_copy` would be defined in a more explicit
header, but don;t think we have a suitable one already. Maybe
we can introduce `DNA_access.h` ?

A mistake in the mesh normal refactor caused the wrong mesh to
be used when calculating normals with a shape key's deformation.
This commit fixes the normal calculation by using the correct mesh,
with just adjusted vertex positions, and calculating the results
directly into the result arrays when possible. This completely avoids
the need to make a local copy of the mesh, which makes sense,
since the only thing that changes is the vertex positions.

This commit changes `CurveComponent` to store the new curve
type by adding conversions to and from `CurveEval` in most nodes.
This will temporarily make performance of curves in geometry nodes
much worse, but as functionality is implemented for the new type
and it is used in more places, performance will become better than
before.
We still use `CurveEval` for drawing curves, because the new `Curves`
data-block has no evaluated points yet. So the `Curve` ID is still
generated for rendering in the same way as before. It's also still
needed for drawing curve object edit mode overlays.
The old curve component isn't removed yet, because it is still used
to implement the conversions to and from `CurveEval`.
A few more attributes are added to make this possible:
- `nurbs_weight`: The weight for each control point on NURBS curves.
- `nurbs_order`: The order of the NURBS curve
- `knots_mode`: Necessary for conversion, not defined yet.
- `handle_type_{left/right}`: An 8 bit integer attribute.

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.

To summarize for the record, the plans are:
