After this commit, all mesh data extraction and drawing code is in C++,
including headers, making it possible to use improved types for future
performance improvements and simplifications.
The only non-trivial changes are in `draw_cache_impl_mesh.cc`,
where use of certain features and macros in C necessitated larger
changes.

This evaluator is used in order to evaluate subdivision at render time, allowing for
faster renders of meshes with a subdivision surface modifier placed at the last
position in the modifier list.
When evaluating the subsurf modifier, we detect whether we can delegate evaluation
to the draw code. If so, the subdivision is first evaluated on the GPU using our own
custom evaluator (only the coarse data needs to be initially sent to the GPU), then,
buffers for the final `MeshBufferCache` are filled on the GPU using a set of
compute shaders. However, some buffers are still filled on the CPU side, if doing so
on the GPU is impractical (e.g. the line adjacency buffer used for x-ray, whose
logic is hardly GPU compatible).
This is done at the mesh buffer extraction level so that the result can be readily used
in the various OpenGL engines, without having to write custom geometry or tesselation
shaders.
We use our own subdivision evaluation shaders, instead of OpenSubDiv's vanilla one, in
order to control the data layout, and interpolation. For example, we store vertex colors
as compressed 16-bit integers, while OpenSubDiv's default evaluator only work for float
types.
In order to still access the modified geometry on the CPU side, for use in modifiers
or transform operators, a dedicated wrapper type is added `MESH_WRAPPER_TYPE_SUBD`.
Subdivision will be lazily evaluated via `BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh` which will
create such a wrapper if possible. If the final subdivision surface is not needed on
the CPU side, `BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh_no_subsurf` should be used.
Enabling or disabling GPU subdivision can be done through the user preferences (under
Viewport -> Subdivision).
See patch description for benchmarks.

`MeshBufferList` is more specific and can avoid confusion with
`MeshBufferExtractionCache`.
|
|
`MeshBufferCache` is a struct representing a list of buffers.
As such, `GPUIndexBuf **tris_per_mat` is out of place as it does not
represent one of the buffers in the list.
In fact this member should be close to `GPUBatch **surface_per_mat` as
they are related.
The code for dependencies between buffer and batch had to be reworked
as it relies on the member's position.

In the draw module, it's not easy to identify what its header is, and
where the shared functions are.
So move `draw_cache_extract_mesh_extractors.c` and
`draw_cache_extract_mesh_private.h` to the same folder as the extractors
and rename these files to make them more identifiable.

The `ibo.tris` extraction in multithread is currently only done if the
mesh has only 1 material.
Now we cache a map indicating the index of each polygon after sort and
thus allow the extraction of tris with materials in multithreaded.
As caching is a heavy operation and was already being performed in
multi-thread for triangle offsets, no significant improvements are
expected.
The benefit will be much greater when we can skip updating the cache
while transforming a geometry.

When using multiple materials in a single mesh the most time is spend in
counting the offsets of each material for the sorting.
This patch moves the counting of the offsets to render mesh data and
caches it as long as the geometry doesn't change.
This patch doesn't include multithreading of this code.

One drawback to trying to predict the number of threads that will be
used in the `task_graph` is that we are only sure of the number when the
threads are running.
Using `BLI_task_parallel_range` allows the driver to
choose the best thread distribution through `parallel_reduce`.
The benefit is most evident on hardware with fewer cores.
This is the result on an 4-core laptop:

This is an adaptation of {D11488}.
A disadvantage of manually setting the iter ranges per thread is that
we don't know how many threads are running in the background and so we
don't know how to best distribute the ranges.
To solve this limitation we can use `parallel_reduce` and thus let the
driver choose the best distribution of ranges among the threads.
This proved to be especially beneficial for computers with few cores.

**Notes:**
- The improvement can only be noticed if all extracts are multithreaded.
- This patch touches different areas of the code, so it can be split into another patch if the idea is accepted.

This patch adds a specific extraction method when the mesh has only
one material. This method is multi-threaded.
There is a trade-off in this patch as the ibo isn't compressed (it adds
restart indexes for hidden faces). So it depends if threading is faster
than the additional GPU buffer upload.
# Subdivided cube
I used a cube subdivided 7 times, modifiers applied. that gives around 400000 faces.
The test is selecting some vertices and move them. During this test the next buffers are updated on each frame:
* vbo.pos_nor
* vbo.lnor
* vbo.edit_data
* ibo.tris
* ibo.points
