Using the attribute name semantics from T97452, this patch moves the
selection status of mesh elements from the `SELECT` of vertices, and
edges, and the `ME_FACE_SEL` of faces to generic boolean attribute
Storing this data as generic attributes can significantly simplify and
improve code, as described in T95965.
The attributes are called `.select_vert`, `.select_edge`, and
`.select_poly`. 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.
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 selection is used. When the flags are removed
completely, requirements will decrease.
Further notes:
* The `MVert` flag is empty at runtime now, so it can be ignored.
* `BMesh` is unchanged, otherwise the change would be much larger.
* Many tests have slightly different results, since the selection
attribute uses more generic propagation. Previously you couldn't
really rely on edit mode selections being propagated procedurally.
Now it mostly works as expected.

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.

From the nodes' description: "Retrieve the object that contains
the geometry nodes modifier currently being executed". This was
discussed in the most recent geometry nodes module meeting.
Because the node allows you to retrieve the position of the modifier
object, it has to add a depsgraph relation to object transform.
Expect that modifiers will be reevaluated when moving the object.
In the future, better static analysis of node trees could make this
check smarter.

We expect some builtin attributes to have positive values or values
within a certain range, but currently there some cases where users
can set attributes to arbitrary values: the store named attribute node,
and the output attributes of the geometry nodes modifier. The set
material index node also needs validation.
This patch adds an `AttributeValidator` to the attribute API, which
can be used to correct values from these untrusted inputs if necessary.
As an alternative to D15548, this approach makes it much easier to
understand when validation is being applied, without the need to add
arguments to every attribute API method or complicate the virtual
array system.
Currently validation is provided with a multi-function. That integrates
well with the field evaluations that set these values now, but it could
be wrapped to be friendlier to other areas of Blender in the future.
The Python API is not handled here either. Currently I would prefer to
wait until we can integrate the C++ and C attribute APIs better before
addressing that.

This reduces logging overhead. The performance difference is only
significant when there are many fast nodes. In my test file with many
math nodes, the performance improved from 720ms to 630ms.

Use a byte flag instead of counting polys using edges
(technically a fix for edges with USHRT_MAX+2 users).

Calculate a tangent per loop, apply the transformation in multiple
spaces and accumulate the result weighting by the loop-angle.
Note that previously only the tangents Z axis (normal)
was properly accumulated, the X and Y axes only contained the values
from a single loop (the last one written to), meaning only two edges
contributed to the result. Now the transformation from all loops are
taken into account.
In practice the difference between both methods is minimal,
only for more extreme bending it can be noticed which is often when the
previous method didn't work as well.

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.

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.

Follows existing naming for the most part, also use "num" as a suffix
in some instances (following our naming conventions).
|
|
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.

The purpose of `NodeTreeRef` was to speed up various queries on a read-only
`bNodeTree`. Not that we have runtime data in nodes and sockets, we can also
store the result of some queries there. This has some benefits:
* No need for a read-only separate node tree data structure which increased
complexity.
* Makes it easier to reuse cached queries in more parts of Blender that can
benefit from it.
A downside is that we loose some type safety that we got by having different
types for input and output sockets, as well as internal and non-internal links.
This patch also refactors `DerivedNodeTree` so that it does not use
`NodeTreeRef` anymore, but uses `bNodeTree` directly instead.
To provide a convenient API (that is also close to what `NodeTreeRef` has), a
new approach is implemented: `bNodeTree`, `bNode`, `bNodeSocket` and `bNodeLink`
now have C++ methods declared in `DNA_node_types.h` which are implemented in
`BKE_node_runtime.hh`. To make this work, `makesdna` now skips c++ sections when
parsing dna header files.
No user visible changes are expected.

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.
|
|
In all these cases, it was clear that the layer values were set right
after the layer was created anyway. So there's no point in using
calloc or setting the values to zero first.
See 25237d2625078c6d for more info.

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.

Using the same `GeometryComponentFieldContext` for all situations,
even when only one geometry type is supported is misleading, and mixes
too many different abstraction levels into code that could be simpler.
With the attribute API moved out of geometry components recently,
the "component" system is just getting in the way here.
This commit adds specific field contexts for geometry types: meshes,
curves, point clouds, and instances. There are also separate field input
helper classes, to help reduce boilerplate for fields that only support
specific geometry types.
Another benefit of this change is that it separates geometry components
from fields, which makes it easier to see the purpose of the two concepts,
and how they relate.
Because we want to be able to evaluate a field on just `CurvesGeometry`
rather than the full `Curves` data-block, the generic "geometry context"
had to be changed to avoid using `GeometryComponent`, since there is
no corresponding geometry component type. The resulting void pointer
is ugly, but only turns up in three places in practice. When Apple clang
supports `std::variant`, that could be used instead.

Those collections were so far mainly just tagged as fake user (even
though a few places in code already incremented usercount on them).
Since we now clear the fakeuser flag when linking/appending data, ensure
that these collections are preserved by making these usages regular ID
refcounting ones.

This was the case when the "Show in Editmode" option was used and a
vertexgroup affected the areas.
Probably an oversight in {rBdeaff945d0b9}?, seems like deforming
modifiers always need to call `BKE_mesh_wrapper_ensure_mdata` in
`deformVertsEM` when a vertex group is used.

* runtime.is_original is only valid for the bmesh wrapper. Rename it to clarify
that and only check it when the mesh is a bmesh wrapper.
* Remove MR_EXTRACT_MAPPED and instead check only for the existence of the

MR_EXTRACT_MAPPED set, which according to a comment means they are invalid.

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.
