This was essentially a use-after-free issue. When a geometry nodes
group changes it has to be preprocessed again before it can be evaluated.
This part was working, the issue was that parent node groups have to be
preprocessed as well, which was missing. The lazy-function graph cached
on the parent node group was still referencing data that was freed when
the child group changed.
Now the depsgraph makes sure that all relevant geometry node groups are
preprocessed again after a change.
This issue was found by Simon Thommes.

When a change happens which invalidates view layers the syncing will be postponed until the first usage.
This will improve importing or adding many objects in a single operation/script.
`BKE_view_layer_need_resync_tag` is used to tag the view layer to be out of sync. Before accessing
`BKE_view_layer_active_base_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_object_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_collection`
or `BKE_view_layer_object_bases` the caller should call `BKE_view_layer_synced_ensure`.
Having two functions ensures that partial syncing could be added as smaller patches in the future. Tagging a
view layer out of sync could be replaced with a partial sync. Eventually the number of full resyncs could be
reduced. After all tagging has been replaced with partial syncs the ensure_sync could be phased out.
This patch has been added to discuss the details and consequences of the current approach. For clarity
the call to BKE_view_layer_ensure_sync is placed close to the getters.
In the future this could be placed in more strategical places to reduce the number of calls or improve
performance. Finding those strategical places isn't that clear. When multiple operations are grouped
in a single script you might want to always check for resync.
Some areas found that can be improved. This list isn't complete.
These areas aren't addressed by this patch as these changes would be hard to detect to the reviewer.
The idea is to add changes to these areas as a separate patch. It might be that the initial commit would reduce
performance compared to master, but will be fixed by the additional patches.
**Object duplication**
During object duplication the syncing is temporarily disabled. With this patch this isn't useful as when disabled
the view_layer is accessed to locate bases. This can be improved by first locating the source bases, then duplicate
and sync and locate the new bases. Will be solved in a separate patch for clarity reasons ({D15886}).
**Object add**
`BKE_object_add` not only adds a new object, but also selects and activates the new base. This requires the
view_layer to be resynced. Some callers reverse the selection and activation (See `get_new_constraint_target`).
We should make the selection and activation optional. This would make it possible to add multiple objects
without having to resync per object.
**Postpone Activate Base**
Setting the basact is done in many locations. They follow a rule as after an action find the base and set
the basact. Finding the base could require a resync. The idea is to store in the view_layer the object which
base will be set in the basact during the next sync, reducing the times resyncing needs to happen.

to be added in many places. To speed up the review process
the adding of the scene parameter was added in a separate

The internal state tracking is not fully suited for such kind
of optimization yet.
It is probably not that much work to make them work, but the
issue caused by the changes is serious enough for the studio
so it feels better to revert changes for now and have a closer
look into remaining issues without pressure.

A regression since ac20970bc208
The issue was caused by depsgraph clearing all id->recalc flags
wrongly assuming that all IDs are fully evaluated.
This change makes it so the depsgraph becomes aware of possibly
incompletely evaluated IDs.

This refactors the geometry nodes evaluation system. No changes for the
user are expected. At a high level the goals are:
* Support using geometry nodes outside of the geometry nodes modifier.
* Support using the evaluator infrastructure for other purposes like field evaluation.
* Support more nodes, especially when many of them are disabled behind switch nodes.
* Support doing preprocessing on node groups.
For more details see T98492.
There are fairly detailed comments in the code, but here is a high level overview
for how it works now:
* There is a new "lazy-function" system. It is similar in spirit to the multi-function
system but with different goals. Instead of optimizing throughput for highly
parallelizable work, this system is designed to compute only the data that is actually
necessary. What data is necessary can be determined dynamically during evaluation.
Many lazy-functions can be composed in a graph to form a new lazy-function, which can
again be used in a graph etc.
* Each geometry node group is converted into a lazy-function graph prior to evaluation.
To evaluate geometry nodes, one then just has to evaluate that graph. Node groups are
no longer inlined into their parents.
Next steps for the evaluation system is to reduce the use of threads in some situations
to avoid overhead. Many small node groups don't benefit from multi-threading at all.
This is much easier to do now because not everything has to be inlined in one huge
node tree anymore.

If the RNA path of a Single Property variable goes through a pointer
to a different ID, the property should be attached to that ID using
the owner reference in the RNA pointer. This already happened when
building some, but not all of the relations and nodes.
This patch fixes the remaining cases.

This change makes it so that objects which are temporary hidden from
the viewport (the icon toggle in outliner) do not affect on the
performance of the viewport.
The attached file demonstrates the issue. Before this change hiding
the object does not change FPS, after this change FPS goes high when
the object is hidden.

Changing the object temporary visibility is already expected to tag
scene for bases updates, which flushes down the stream to the object
visibility update. So the only remaining topic was to ensure the
graph does a special round of visibility update on such changes.

While it is hard to measure the performance impact accurately, there
is no need to perform per-modifier string lookup on every frame update.
Implemented as an exceptional case in the code which flushes updates to
the entire component. Sounds a bit suboptimal, but there are already
other exception cases handled in the function.

While missing the break before a default that only breaks isn't
an error, it means adding new cases needs to remember to add the
break for an existing case, changing the default case will also
result in an unintended fall-through.
Also avoid `default:;` and add an explicit break.

Also remove two DispList references I missed in the previous commit.

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).

Need to update relations when modifiers are added or removed
since those create nodes in the dependency graph.
Added an assert statement to point at possible culprit so
that issues can be fixed more quickly.

Solves long-standing issue when dependencies of disabled modifiers are
evaluated.
Simple test case: no drivers or animation. Manually enabling modifier
is expected to bring FPS up, enabling modifier will bring FPS (sine
evaluation can not be avoided)

More complex test case: modifier visibility is driven by an animated
property. In am ideal world FPS during property being zero is fast
and when property is 1 the FPS is low.

Happens after recent changes in the area.
The asserts were a bit too strict and were against the way how the
ID_RECALC_ALL is handled. So remove them with explanation why things
needs to be silent.
|
|
The tagging code was iterating over bits set in the ID_RECALC_ALL and
was casting the flag to IDRecalcFlag. This was triggering an undefined
behavior warning in Clang since the bit might not have a corresponding
value in the enumerator.
The solution is to pre-define all reacalc flags for all bits. While
this seems a bit annoying this seems to be the least fragile solution
from all suggested ones.

Always use unsigned int for the recalc flags. This allows to use
all 32 bit of integer for the flags without worrying about the
sign. Use full notation of `unsigned int` instead of short `uint`
to avoid pulling more headers in.
Whenever depsgraph API allows passing combined recalc flags call
the variable `flags` and use `unsigned int` type for it. For a
single flag use `IDRecalcFlag` flag.
No functional changes expected.

Adds `rna_path.cc` and `RNA_path.h`.
`rna_access.c` is a quite big file, which makes it rather hard and
inconvenient to navigate. RNA path functions form a nicely coherent unit
that can stand well on it's own, so it makes sense to split them off to
mitigate the problem. Moreover, I was looking into refactoring the quite
convoluted/overloaded `rna_path_parse()`, and found that some C++
features may help greatly with that. So having that code compile in C++
would be helpful to attempt that.

A mistake in the 0dcee6a3866 which made specific driven visibility
to work, but did not properly handle actual time-based visibility.
The basic idea of the change is to preserve recalculation flags of
nodes which were tagged for update but were not evaluated due to
visibility constraints. In the file from the report this makes it
so tagging which is done first time ID is in the dependency graph
are handled when the ID actually becomes visible. This is what
solved the root of the problem from the report: there was missing
geometry update since it was "swallowed" by the evaluation during
the object being invisible. In other configurations this change
allows to handle pending geometry updates due to animated modifiers
be handled when object becomes visible without time change.
This change also solves visibility issue of the synchronization
component which also started to be handled badly since the
previous fix attempt. Basically, the needed exception in its
visibility handling did not happen and a regular logic was used
for it.
Tested with files from the T99733, T99976, and from the Heist
project.

The issue was caused by the fact that objects with driven or animated
visibility were considered visible by the dependency graph evaluation.
This change makes it so the dependency graph evaluation is aware of
visibility which might be changing. This is achieved by evaluating the
path of the graph which affects objects visibility and adjusts to it
before evaluating the rest of the graph.
There is some time penalty to this, but there does not seem to be a
way to fully avoid this penalty.
With the production shot from the heist project the FPS drops by a
tenth of a frame (~9.4 vs ~9.3 fps) when adding a driver to an object
which keeps it visible. Note that this is a bit hard to measure since
the FPS fluctuates quite a bit throughout the playback. On the other
hand, having a driver on a visibility of a heavy object from character
and setting visibility to false gives big speedup.
Also worth noting that there is no penalty at all when there are no
animated visibilities in the scene.

Currently should not be any functional changes.

Semantically it is more correct as the cache does not modify the ID.
There is need to do couple of const casts since the BKE (which is in C)
does not easily allow to iterate into f-curves of const ID.
