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.

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).

When in Object Mode, any of the active- and edit-related snapping
options (Include Active, Include Edited, Include Non-Edited) should be
ignored when in Object Mode, otherwise snapping could be effectively
disabled.
This commit forces snap code to ignore the active- and edit-related
options when in Object Mode.

Removes the following macros for scene/render frame values:
- `CFRA`
- `SUBFRA`
- `SFRA`
- `EFRA`
These macros don't add much, other than saving a few characters when typing.
It's not immediately clear what they refer to, they just hide what they
actually access. Just be explicit and clear about that.
Plus these macros gave read and write access to the variables, so eyesores like
this would be done (eyesore because it looks like assigning to a constant):
```
CFRA = some_frame_nbr;
```

This commit adds a new face nearest snapping mode, adds new snapping
options, and (lightly) refactors code around snapping.
The new face nearest snapping mode will snap transformed geometry to the
nearest surface in world space. In contrast, the original face snapping
mode uses projection (raycasting) to snap source to target geometry.
Face snapping therefore only works with what is visible, while nearest
face snapping can snap geometry to occluded parts of the scene. This new
mode is critical for retopology work, where some of the target mesh
might be occluded (ex: sliding an edge loop that wraps around the
backside of target mesh).
The nearest face snapping mode has two options: "Snap to Same Target"
and "Face Nearest Steps". When the Snap to Same Object option is
enabled, the selected source geometry will stay near the target that it
is nearest before editing started, which prevents the source geometry
from snapping to other targets. The Face Nearest Steps divides the
overall transformation for each vertex into n smaller transformations,
then applies those n transformations with surface snapping interlacing
each step. This steps option handles transformations that cross U-shaped
targets better.
The new snapping options allow the artist to better control which target
objects (objects to which the edited geometry is snapped) are considered
when snapping. In particular, the only option for filtering target
objects was a "Project onto Self", which allowed the currently edited
mesh to be considered as a target. Now, the artist can choose any
combination of the following to be considered as a target: the active
object, any edited object that isn't active (see note below), any non-
edited object. Additionally, the artist has another snapping option to
exclude objects that are not selectable as potential targets.
The Snapping Options dropdown has been lightly reorganized to allow for
the additional options.
Included in this patch:
- Snap target selection is more controllable for artist with additional
snapping options.
- Renamed a few of the snap-related functions to better reflect what
they actually do now. For example, `applySnapping` implies that this
handles the snapping, while `applyProject` implies something entirely
different is done there. However, better names would be
`applySnappingAsGroup` and `applySnappingIndividual`, respectively,
where `applySnappingIndividual` previously only does Face snapping.
- Added an initial coordinate parameter to snapping functions so that
the nearest target before transforming can be determined(for "Snap to
Same Object"), and so the transformation can be broken into smaller
steps (for "Face Nearest Steps").
- Separated the BVH Tree getter code from mesh/edit mesh to its own
function to reduce code duplication.
- Added icon for nearest face snapping.
- The original "Project onto Self" was actually not correct! This option
should be called "Project onto Active" instead, but that only matters
when editing multiple meshes at the same time. This patch makes this
change in the UI.

In perspective mode the snap point direction needs to be taken into
account to define which side of the face is being looked at.
If there is no face under the mouse cursor, there is no direction
adjustment and the element normal will be used.
|
|
It's an old behavior. Not really considered a bug.
But snapping to faces is already supported in this case.
And allowing snapping to other elements is not disruptive.

Curves can have a Mesh evaluated, but only objects of type Mesh have
EditMesh.
This bug is harmless because `sctx->editmesh_caches.remove(value)` only
works with pointers and `BKE_editmesh_from_object(ob_eval)`, even though
it doesn't actually return a `BMEditMesh`, it still returns a pointer
that doesn't exist as a key.

into enums
The transformation snapping code contains a bunch of `#define`s, some ambiguously or incorrectly named attributes. This patch contains refactored code to improve this. This patch does (should) not change functionality of snapping.
Clarified ambiguously / incorrectly named attributes.
- "Target" is used to refer to the part of the source that is to be snapped (Active, Median, Center, Closest), but several other areas of Blender use the term "target" to refer to the thing being snapped to and "source" to refer to the thing getting snapped. Moreover, the implications of the previous terms do not match the descriptions. For example: `SCE_SNAP_TARGET_CENTER` does not snap the grabbed geometry to the center of the target, but instead "Snap transforamtion center onto target".
- "Select" refers to the condition for an object to be a possible target for snapping.
- `SCE_SNAP_MODE_FACE` is renamed to `SCE_SNAP_MODE_FACE_RAYCAST` to better describe its affect and to make way for other face snapping methods (ex: nearest).
Refactored related `#define` into `enum`s. In particular, constants relating to...
- `ToolSettings.snap_flag` are now in `enum eSnapFlag`
- `ToolSettings.snap_mode` are now in `enum eSnapMode`
- `ToolSettings.snap_source` (was `snap_target`) are now in `enum eSnapSourceSelect`
- `ToolSettings.snap_flag` (`SCE_SNAP_NO_SELF`) and `TransSnap.target_select` are now in `enum eSnapTargetSelect`
As the terms became more consistent and the constants were packed together into meaningful enumerations, some of the attribute names seemed ambiguous. For example, it is unclear whether `SnapObjectParams.snap_select` referred to the target or the source. This patch also adds a small amount of clarity.
This patch also swaps out generic types (ex: `char`, `short`, `ushort`) and unclear hard coded numbers (ex: `0`) used with snap-related enumerations with the actual `enum`s and values.
Note: I did leave myself some comments to follow-up with further refactoring. Specifically, using "target" and "source" consistently will mean the Python API will need to change (ex: `ToolSettings.snap_target` is not `ToolSettings.snap_source`). If the API is going to change, it would be good to make sure that the used terms are descriptive enough. For example, `bpy.ops.transform.translate` uses a `snap` argument to determine if snapping should be enabled while transforming. Perhaps `use_snap` might be an improvement that's more consistent with other conventions.
This patch is (mostly) a subset of D14591, as suggested by @mano-wii.
Task T69342 proposes to separate the `Absolute Grid Snap` option out from `Increment` snapping method into its own method. Also, there might be reason to create additional snapping methods or options. (Indeed, D14591 heads in this direction). This patch can work along with these suggestions, as this patch is trying to clarify the snapping code and to prompt more work in this area.

The logic of skipping selected handles was inverted
and confusing.

In rare cases the mesh has not been evaluated when snapping, this fix
just prevents the crash as is done elsewhere in Blender when the
evaluated mesh isn't available, there is a separate report (T96536)
about evaluation not working properly.

The editing data of a `SURF`s is similar to that of Curves and should be supported for snapping.
But unlike Curve objects, for snapping, only support the nurb points if the object is in edit mode.
This matches the solution for Meshes and avoids having to create a kind
of "boundbox" for the SURF nurb points.
|
|
The problem is old.
rB52be06301257 (fixed by rB4b35d6950d4f) just masked it.
`Object->data`, on evaluated objects, is not a safe pointer to get
objects with the same `BMEditData`.
Use `Object->runtime.data_orig` instead.

The `BMEditMesh` pointer is the same in the original or evaluated mesh.
Also a clang-format was missed.

|
In some cases, selected elements do not contribute to snapping.
So ignore these elements when creating the edit meshes bound box.

Meshes without loops are still valid for snapping.

This is an internal usage parameter.
No functional changes.

The parameters indicating whether it is allocated are always `false` and
it is up to the caller to free them.
Also clang-format was triggered.

The `BVHCacheType bvh_cache_type` parameter defines specific
`BVHTrees` that cannot be customized.
So it doesn't make sense to pass this value to any
`*bvhtree_from_[...]_ex` function as the `BVHTrees` created in these
cases are custom and cannot be saved in the cache.
This also resulted in a nice cleanup in the code.
