This adds support for running a set of nodes repeatedly. The number
of iterations can be controlled dynamically as an input of the repeat
zone. The repeat zone can be added in via the search or from the
Add > Utilities menu.
The main use case is to replace long repetitive node chains with a more
flexible alternative. Technically, repeat zones can also be used for
many other use cases. However, due to their serial nature, performance
is very sub-optimal when they are used to solve problems that could
be processed in parallel. Better solutions for such use cases will
be worked on separately.
Repeat zones are similar to simulation zones. The major difference is
that they have no concept of time and are always evaluated entirely in
the current frame, while in simulations only a single iteration is
evaluated per frame.
Stopping the repetition early using a dynamic condition is not yet
supported. "Break" functionality can be implemented manually using
Switch nodes in the loop for now. It's likely that this functionality
will be built into the repeat zone in the future.
For now, things are kept more simple.
Remaining Todos after this first version:
* Improve socket inspection and viewer node support. Currently, only
the first iteration is taken into account for socket inspection
and the viewer.
* Make loop evaluation more lazy. Currently, the evaluation is eager,
meaning that it evaluates some nodes even though their output may not
be required.

There's quite a few libraries that depend on dna_type_offsets.h
but had gotten to it by just adding the folder that contains it to
their includes INC section without declaring a dependency to
bf_dna in the LIB section.
which occasionally lead to the lib building before bf_dna and the
header being missing, while this generally gets fixed in CMake by
adding bf_dna to the LIB section of the lib, however until last
week all libraries in the LIB section were linked as INTERFACE so
adding it in there did not resolve the build issue.
To make things still build, we sprinkled add_dependencies wherever
we needed it to force a build order.
This diff :
Declares public include folders for the bf_dna target so there's
no more fudging the INC section required to get to them.
Removes all dna related paths from the INC section for all
libraries.
Adds an alias target bf:dna to signify it has been updated to
modern cmake
Declares a dependency on bf::dna for all libraries that require it
Removes (almost) all calls to add_dependencies for bf_dna
Future work:
Because of the manual dependency management that was done, there is
now some "clutter" with libs depending on bf_dna that realistically
don't. Example bf_intern_opencolorio itself has no dependency on
bf_dna at all, doesn't need it, doesn't use it. However the
dna include folder had been added to it in the past since bf_blenlib
uses dna headers in some of its public headers and
bf_intern_opencolorio does use those blenlib headers.
Given bf_blenlib now correctly declares the dependency on bf_dna
as public bf_intern_opencolorio will get the dna header directory
automatically from CMake, hence some cleanup could be done for
bf_intern_opencolorio
Because 99% of the changes in this diff have been automated, this diff
does not seek to address these issues as there is no easy way to
determine why a certain dependency is in place. A developer will have
to make a pass a this at some later point in time. As I'd rather not
mix automated and manual labour.
There are a few libraries that could not be automatically processed
(ie bf_blendthumb) that also will need this manual look-over.

Split off from [#106952: Animation: Butterworth Smoothing filter](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/106952)
This patch allows the slider to take a different string than just "%",
the use case is on #106952 where we want to display "Hz" instead.
Additionally the slider got the ability to set modes, which determine
how the factor number is displayed.
`SLIDER_MODE_PERCENT` means it will multiply by 100 and display as whole numbers
`SLIDER_MODE_FLOAT` means it will display just floats with one digit after the comma
Additionally to that, because the slider range is now arbitrary and potentially deals with
large numbers, the mouse distance needed to travel from min to max has been normalized
to the range.

It was only used by OpenEXR and Iris images, and saving the Z Buffer
in those formats was disabled by default. This option comes from the
times prior to the addition of the Multilayer EXR.
It also worth noting that it was not possible to save Iris with Depth
pass from Blender as internally it is called IRIZ format and it was
not exposed. But even after exposing this format option something still
was missing as saving and loading ITIZ did not show up the Depth pass.
The reason of removal is to make it a more clear match of the ImBuf
with a render pass, and use it instead of a custom type in the render
result and render pass API. This will simplify the API and also avoid
stealing buffers and making shallow copies when showing the render
result.
For the cases when Depth is needed a Multilayer EXR is to be used,
as most likely more than just the Depth will be needed.
On a user level this change:
- Removes the "Z Buffer" option from the interface.
- It preserves existing sockets in compositor nodes, but it will
output black image. Also changing the image data-block will
remove the socket unless a Multilayer EXR with Depth pass image
is selected.
- Removes "Depth" socket of the Viewer and Composite nodes.

Before this change the ImBuf struct had dedicated fields for the
buffer data. Now the color space is stored inside of the struct
which wraps around the buffer information.
This only changes the field placement, without changing the way
it is handled. In the future one might imagine that operations
like stealing buffer data should null-ify the buffer colorspace
pointer. Such changes would need to have more accurate thinking
before implementation.
Should be no functional changes.

This refactors how a geometry nodes node tree is converted to a lazy-function
graph. Previously, all nodes were inserted into a single graph. This was fine
because every node was evaluated at most once per node group evaluation.
However, loops (#108896) break this assumption since now nodes may be
evaluated multiple times and thus a single flat graph does not work anymore.
Now, a separate lazy-function is build for every zone which gives us much
more flexibility for what can happen in a zone. Right now, the change only
applies to simulation zones since that's the only kind of zone we have.
Technically, those zones could be inlined, but turning them into a separate
lazy-function also does not hurt and makes it possible to test this refactor
without implementing loops first. Also, having them as separate functions
might help in the future if we integrate a substep loop directly into the
simulation zone.
The most tricky part here is to just link everything up correctly, especially
with respect to deterministic anonymous attribute lifetimes. Fortunately,
correctness can be checked visually by looking at the generated graphs.
The logging/viewer system also had to be refactored a bit, because now there
can be multiple different `ComputeContext` in a single node tree. Each zone
is in a separate `ComputeContext`. To make it work, the `ViewerPath` system
now explicitly supports zones and drawing code will look up the right logger
for showing inspection data.
No functional changes are expected, except that the spreadsheet now shows
"Simulation Zone" in the context path if the viewer is in a simulation.
- "Invalid" in transformation messages.
- For three messages, translation occured after a string
- concatenation, so the full message was not found.
Instead, translate a format pattern and format it afterwards.
- Alembic errors when there is an import type mismatch.

When the temporary File Browser uses a maximized editor, it reuses the
File/Asset Browser under the cursor. When the file browsing action is
confirmed, the old editor state is restored but the file-list cleared,
so it fails to find the active asset and the ID it represents in
context.
Work around this by getting the ID before spawning the File Browser from
the operator.
A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:

Adds the initial stage for the grease pencil 3.0 project.
This patch includes:
* New ID and new object type.
* New DNA structures.
* New drawing engine for grease pencil (gpencil-next).
* Tests for the new grease pencil data-type.
* A few operators for conversion, switching modes and (simple) drawing.
Exposed to the user:
* An experimental option to switch to the new grease pencil.
* This will switch the grease pencil render engine to gpencil-next which can only render the new object type.
Current grease pencil objects will no longer render.
* Changing this option currently requires a restart of blender (for the keymap to update).
* A conversion setting in the `Object` > `Convert To` operator.
* A drawing operator in `Draw Mode`.

Add a ensure_utf8 argument to WM_clipboard_text_get so callers don't
have to handle validation themselves.
Copying non-utf8 text into the Python console and buttons was possible,
causing invalid cursor position and a UnicodeDecodeError accessing
ConsoleLine.body from Python.
The goal is to make it more explicit and centralized operation to
assign and steal buffer data, with proper ownership tracking.
The buffers and ownership flags are wrapped into their dedicated
structures now.
There should be no functional changes currently, it is a preparation
for allowing implicit sharing of the ImBuf buffers. Additionally, in
the future it is possible to more buffer-specific information (such
as color space) next to the buffer data itself. It is also possible
to clean up the allocation flags (IB_rect, ...) to give them more
clear naming and not have stored in the ImBuf->flags as they are only
needed for allocation.
The most dangerous part of this change is the change of byte buffer
data from `int*` to `uint8_t*`. In a lot of cases the byte buffer was
cast to `uchar*`, so those casts are now gone. But some code is
operating on `int*` so now there are casts in there. In practice this
should be fine, since we only support 64bit platforms, so allocations
are aligned. The real things to watch out for here is the fact that
allocation and offsetting from the byte buffer now need an explicit 4
channel multiplier.
Once everything is C++ it will be possible to simplify public
functions even further.

This case was not properly handled by the previous fix in #107621.
The viewer node path function still assumes that the node editor space
has a valid ID pointer (`snode.id`) and that it is an `Object`.
The ID pointer can be null when setting a pinned node tree through the
python API, like so:
```Py
space.pin = True
space.node_tree = some_other_node_tree
```
In this case the `ED_node_tree_start` function is called without and ID
pointer, which is allowed! This patch makes sure that the viewer node
path function is only used with a valid object context.

The current implementation goes like this
* default to a 0-1 range
* you can set `is_bidirectional` to get a -1/1 range
* if the slider is bidirectional the overshoot goes both ways, otherwise only on the positive side
The issue is that it is not possible to have a 0-1 range but overshoot both ways.
This is useful for example on the "Blend to Default" operator, where 0 means current position and 1 default.
But overshoot also makes sense for this operator since the other way just scales away from default.
So this patch:
* removes `is_bidirectional`
* adds `float range[2]` to `tSlider` and a setter for it
* rewrite some logic to handle arbitrary ranges
* split the `allow_overshoot` flag into one flag for either side

The goal is to solve confusion of the "All rights reserved" for licensing
code under an open-source license.
The phrase "All rights reserved" comes from a historical convention that
required this phrase for the copyright protection to apply. This convention
is no longer relevant.
However, even though the phrase has no meaning in establishing the copyright
it has not lost meaning in terms of licensing.
This change makes it so code under the Blender Foundation copyright does
not use "all rights reserved". This is also how the GPL license itself
states how to apply it to the source code:
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software ...
This change does not change copyright notice in cases when the copyright
is dual (BF and an author), or just an author of the code. It also does
mot change copyright which is inherited from NaN Holding BV as it needs
some further investigation about what is the proper way to handle it.
Viewer node paths usually start with the modifier, but in pinned
node editors the tree may not be used by the object in context.
In that case the modifier part of the path should be ignored.
The viewer node is always disabled in that case.

This adds support for cursor snapping for the new curves object.
It implements a function `transverts_from_curves_positions_create` (to separate the logic from the `Curves` object type). That function is then C wrapped by `ED_curves_transverts_create` and finally used in `ED_transverts_create_from_obedit`.
Pull Request #104967
`CTX_wm_operator_poll_msg_set()` is covered by the translation script
and always translates these strings. Checked with Bastien, he prefers
not having the redundancy here.
These warnings can reveal errors in logic, so quiet them by checking
if the features are enabled before using variables or by assigning
empty strings in some cases.
- Check CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT is set before use as CMake docs
note that this may be left unset if it's not needed.
- Remove BOOST/OPENVDB/VULKAN references when disable.
- Define INC_SYS even when empty.
- Remove PNG_INC from freetype (not defined anywhere).
The slider component can now be told to not use CTRL for toggling stepped
10% increments. This is useful when the operator that uses the slider needs
that modifier key for its own purposes.
Always hide the area header contents when the slider UI component is used.
This prevents the slider from being drawn semi-transparently on top of
other UI elements.
Add a field `is_bidirectional` to sliders (`tSlider`). By defafult this
is `false`; when set to `true` the slider allows negative values.
The allowed ranges are now:
- No overshoot, no bidirectional: `[0, 1]`
- No overshoot, bidirectional: `[-1, 1]`
- Overshoot, no bidirectional: `[0, infinity)`
- Overshoot, bidirectional: `(-infinity, infinity)`
This will be used for the pose library blending operator, where sliding
to the right (postitive) blends as normal, and sliding to the left
(negative) flips the pose before blending.
