Replace `mesh_attributes`, `mesh_attributes_for_write` and the point
cloud versions with methods on the `Mesh` and `PointCloud` types.
This makes them friendlier to use and improves readability.

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.
|
|
The `mvert` pointer was passed to `bm_to_mesh_shape` and was never
reset to the beginning of the vertex array. Use spans instead to
eliminate this error completely. This also has the benefit of letting
the CustomData system handle allocation of mesh layers.

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.

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.

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.

Regression in d961adb866cc2d7a95e4c6a7f06c49e346ec1abe,
it's important that for the Mesh used for undo storage matches
the shape-key instead of using the coordinates of the Basis key.
Prior to bfdbc78466ac14d45f353db9aa39cb21bb962701 a different method of
restoring the basis shape-key coordinates was used (restoring from the
input `Mesh.mvert` array). When undo wrote the edit-mesh into the mesh
this was always NULL so the basis shape keys coordinates were never
used.
Now a parameter has been added so undo can use the active shape for the
meshes vertex coordinates.

Also fix a couple other places where normals layers weren't properly
tagged dirty or reallocated when the mesh changes.
Caused by cfa53e0fbeed7178. When the size of a mesh changes,
the normal layers need to be reallocated. There were a couple of places
that cleared other runtime data with `BKE_mesh_runtime_clear_geometry`
but didn't deal with normals properly. Clearing the runtime "geometry"
is different from clearing the normals, because sometimes the size of
the normal layers doesn't have to change, in which case simply tagging
them dirty is fine.

This was a double free error which happened because `BM_mesh_bm_from_me`
was taking ownership of arrays that were still owned by the Mesh. Note that
this only happens when the mesh is empty but some custom data layers still
have a non-null data pointer. While usually the data pointer should be null in
this case for performance reasons, other functions should still be able to
handle this situation.

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.

This is an alternate fix for T35170 since it caused T44415.
Having the undo system manipulate the key-block coordinates is error
prone as (in the case of T44415) there are situations when it's
important to apply the difference with the original shape key.
This reverts dab0bd9de65a9be5e8ababba0e2799f994d5d12f, and instead
avoids the problem by not using the data in `Mesh.key` as a reference
for updating shape-keys when exiting edit-mode.
The assumption that the `Mesh.key` in edit-mode won't be modified
until leaving edit-mode isn't always true. Leading to synchronization
errors. (details noted in code-comments).
Resolve this by using shape-key data stored in the BMesh.
Resolving both T35170 & T44415.
Details:
- Remove use of the original vertices when exiting edit mode.
- Remove use of the original shape-key coordinates when exiting
edit-mode (except as a last resort).
- Move shape-key synchronization into a separate function:
`bm_to_mesh_key`.
- Split the synchronization loop into two branches,
depending on the existence of BMesh shape-key coordinates.
- Always write shape-key values back to the BMesh CD_SHAPEKEY layers.
This was only done in some cases but is now necessary for all
shape-keys as these are used to calculate offsets where the `Mesh.key`
was previously used.
- Report a warning when the shape-key layer isn't found as this uses an
imperfect method of restoring coordinates which should only be used as
a last resort.

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.
