The "PROP" in the name reflects its generic status, and removing
"LOOP" makes sense because it is no longer associated with just
mesh face corners. In general the goal is to remove extra semantic
meaning from the custom data types.
Since shader sources are now parsed on demand via `GPUShaderCreateInfo`,
sources are not available to be read via
`GPU_shader_get_builtin_shader_code`.
Currently this results in a crash as the code tries to read `NULL`
pointers.
`GPU_shader_get_builtin_shader_code` was created with the intention of
informing the user how a builtin shader works, thus "replacing"
detailed documentation.
Therefore this function doesn't really have a practical use in an addon.
So, instead of updating the function (which would require several
changes to the gpu module), remove it and improve the documentation.

This is to make the codegen and shading nodes object type agnostic. This
is essential for flexibility of the engine to use the nodetree as it see
fits.
The essential volume attributes struct properties are moved to the
`GPUMaterialAttribute` which see its final input name set on creation.
The binding process is centralized into `draw_volume.cc` to avoid
duplicating the code between multiple engines. It mimics the hair attributes
process.
Volume object grid transforms and other per object uniforms are packed into
one UBO per object. The grid transform is now based on object which simplify
the matrix preparations.
This also gets rid of the double transforms and use object info orco factors
for volume objects.
Tagging @brecht because he did the initial implementation of Volume Grids.
Issue introduced in {rB80859a6cb272}
Only seen on Windows.
The `keyword_parse` lambda function code did not consider `\r` as a
whitespace char, resulting in a wrong parse.
(More investigation needs to be done).
This commit removes all EEVEE specific code from the `gpu_shader_material*.glsl`
files. It defines a clear interface to evaluate the closure nodes leaving
more flexibility to the render engine.
Some of the long standing workaround are fixed:
- bump mapping support is no longer duplicating a lot of node and is instead
compiled into a function call.
- bump rewiring to Normal socket is no longer needed as we now use a global
`g_data.N` for that.
Closure sampling with upstread weight eval is now supported if the engine needs
it.
This also makes all the material GLSL sources use `GPUSource` for better
debugging experience. The `GPUFunction` parsing now happens in `GPUSource`
creation.
The whole `GPUCodegen` now uses the `ShaderCreateInfo` and is object type
agnostic. Is has also been rewritten in C++.
This patch changes a view behavior for EEVEE:
- Mix shader node factor imput is now clamped.
- Tangent Vector displacement behavior is now matching cycles.
- The chosen BSDF used for SSR might change.
- Hair shading may have very small changes on very large hairs when using hair
polygon stripes.
- ShaderToRGB node will remove any SSR and SSS form a shader.
- SSS radius input now is no longer a scaling factor but defines an average
radius. The SSS kernel "shape" (radii) are still defined by the socket default
values.
Appart from the listed changes no other regressions are expected.
Prefer using immVertex3f when 3D shaders are used for 2D rendering due to overhead of vertex padding in hardware. CPU overhead is negligible.

This patch fixes a typo in commit e59f754c16 which incorrectly uses `GPU_TEXTURE_ARRAY` instead of `GPU_FORMAT_COMPRESSED`.
`GPU_FORMAT_COMPRESSED` and `GPU_TEXTURE_ARRAY` both currently evaluate to 16, so this patch does not change anything functionally; however, this patch will prevent issues from arising in the future.

Print it as a "%s" so that possible percentage symbols in the

Use proper assert (assert(true) is a no-op).
Also use `empty()` instead of `length()`.

color attribute system.
This commit removes sculpt colors from experimental
status and unifies it with vertex colors. It
introduces the concept of "color attributes", which
are any attributes that represents colors. Color
attributes can be represented with byte or floating-point
numbers and can be stored in either vertices or
face corners.
Color attributes share a common namespace
(so you can no longer have a floating-point
sculpt color attribute and a byte vertex color
attribute with the same name).
Note: this commit does not include vertex paint mode,
which is a separate patch, see:

MSL does not have an implicit global scope, this is emulated via macro's adding an indirection for uniforms, attributes, shader stage inputs and outputs such as:
#define roughness shaderinst->roughness.
Variables in GLSL which exist within uniform blocks can be directly referenced via the global scope, unlike standard C++. This means that variable name pollution occurs if subsequent local variables in the code use the same name, resulting in compilation errors.
A number of these conflicting names have been renamed to ensure unique naming and no further scope pollution.

Explicit constructor for mat3 from a mat4 is not valid and cannot be overloaded.
Adding explicit texture resource type flags for depth textures. This is an explicit requirement for Metal Shading language. This is a temporary compatibility, as this path is already supported in GPU_SHADER_CREATE_INFO under ImageType::DEPTH_2D, though required in shader source for MSL shaders which do not have create info.

This is because the inheritance is not done before checking if the shader
should be statically compiled. Also some inheritance scheme
might have intermediate permutation that are not compilable.
Metal shading language follows the C++ 14 standard and in some cases requires a greater level of explicitness than GLSL. There are also some small language differences:
- Explicit type-casts (C++ requirements)
- Explicit constant values (C++ requirements, e.g. floating point values using 0.0 instead of 0).
- Metal/OpenGL compatibility paths
- GLSL Function prototypes
- Explicit accessors for vector types when sampling textures.

Some C headers might define the typedefs of the enum themselves.
Even if they are guarded by preprocessor `#if`, our enum preprocessor
has no idea of the validity of the statement. So we just bypass
if there is a typedef just before any `enum` keywords.
Note that the typedef matching is quite fragile.
This uses a StorageBuf as the source of indirect dispatch argument.
The user needs to make sure the parameters are in the right order.
There is no support for argument offset for the moment as there is no
need for it. But this might be added in the future.
Note that the indirect buffer is synchronized at the backend level. This is
done for practical reasons and because this feature is almost always used
for GPU driven pipeline.
