Structural cleanup and improvements for the compositor. Many parts of the compositor are unnecessarily complicated. This patch aims at reducing the complexity of writing nodes and making the code more transparent. == Separating Nodes and Operations == Currently these are both mixed in the same graph, even though they have very different purposes and are used at distinct stages in the compositing process. The patch introduces dedicated graph classes for nodes and for operations. This removes the need for a lot of special case checks (isOperation etc.) and explicit type casts. It simplifies the code since it becomes clear at every stage what type of node we are dealing with. The compiler can use static typing to avoid common bugs from mixing up these types and fewer runtime sanity checks are needed. == Simplified Node Conversion == Converting nodes to operations was previously based on "relinking", i.e. nodes would start with by mirroring links in the Blender DNA node trees, then add operations and redirect these links to them. This was very hard to follow in many cases and required a lot of attention to avoid invalid states. Now there is a helper class called the NodeConverter, which is passed to nodes and implements a much simpler API for this process. Nodes can add operations and explicit connections as before, but defining "external" links to the inputs/outputs of the original node now uses mapping instead of directly modifying link data. Input data (node graph) and result (operations graph) are cleanly separated. == Removed Redundant Data Structures == A few redundant data structures have been removed, notably the SocketConnection. These are only needed temporarily during graph construction. For executing the compositor operations it is perfectly sufficient to store only the direct input link pointers. A common pointer indirection is avoided this way (which might also give a little performance improvement). == Avoid virtual recursive functions == Recursive virtual functions are evil. They are very hard to follow during debugging. At least in the parts this patch is concerned with these functions have been replaced by a non-virtual recursive core function (which might then call virtual non-recursive functions if needed).

This was very hard to follow in many cases and required a lot of attention to avoid invalid states. Now there is a helper class called the NodeConverter, which is passed to nodes and implements a much simpler API for this process. Nodes can add operations and explicit connections as before, but defining "external" links to the inputs/outputs of the original node now uses mapping instead of directly modifying link data. Input data (node graph) and result (operations graph) are cleanly separated. == Removed Redundant Data Structures == A few redundant data structures have been removed, notably the SocketConnection. These are only needed temporarily during graph construction. For executing the compositor operations it is perfectly sufficient to store only the direct input link pointers. A common pointer indirection is avoided this way (which might also give a little performance improvement). == Avoid virtual recursive functions == Recursive virtual functions are evil. They are very hard to follow during debugging. At least in the parts this patch is concerned with these functions have been replaced by a non-virtual recursive core function (which might then call virtual non-recursive functions if needed). See for example NodeOperationBuilder::group_operations.

Structural cleanup and improvements for the compositor. Many parts of the compositor are unnecessarily complicated. This patch aims at reducing the complexity of writing nodes and making the code more transparent. == Separating Nodes and Operations == Currently these are both mixed in the same graph, even though they have very different purposes and are used at distinct stages in the compositing process. The patch introduces dedicated graph classes for nodes and for operations. This removes the need for a lot of special case checks (isOperation etc.) and explicit type casts. It simplifies the code since it becomes clear at every stage what type of node we are dealing with. The compiler can use static typing to avoid common bugs from mixing up these types and fewer runtime sanity checks are needed. == Simplified Node Conversion == Converting nodes to operations was previously based on "relinking", i.e. nodes would start with by mirroring links in the Blender DNA node trees, then add operations and redirect these links to them. This was very hard to follow in many cases and required a lot of attention to avoid invalid states.
