Logic for the recently included fractional scaling support [0] was
difficult to reason about as it depended on two different callbacks
one that listened to a preferred scale, another that tracked which
physical displays the window overlapped.
Checking if fractional scaling was in used depended on the order
the callbacks ran - which is undefined.
In practice - mixing non-fractional and fractional displays would
flicker when the window was moved between monitors.
Resolve this problem with the following changes:
- When the fractional-scale manager is supported,
only respond to the scale from it's preferred_scale callback.
- When no fractional-scale manager is available,
set the scale based on the scale of overlapping outputs.
- Add support for postponing the buffers commit call to prevent
flickering when changing the windows scale.
Other changes:
- Use a lock before setting the pending frame state from
wp_fractional_scale_handle_preferred_scale.
- Ensure pending actions that themselves trigger pending actions
run in the time gwl_window_pending_actions_handle is called.
- Rename GWL_Window::scale -> GWL_WindowFrame::buffer_scale.

Depend on fractional-scale when searching for wayland-protocols
This will impact builders that don't use Blender's `../lib/` and
have wayland-protocols older than v1.31.
Previously, fractional scaling was detected but set an integer buffer
scale which the compositor would down-scale causing blurry output.
Now the fractional scaling interface is used when available to set the
DPI and set the internal buffers size & viewport transformation to
ensure 1:1 pixels from Blender to the Wayland output.
Tested to work with multiple monitors with mixed
fractional/non-fractional scale.
Note that this change causes a regression for when fractional scaling
is set on a compositor without support for fractional-scale-v1.
Supporting fractional scaling in both cases is possible but overly
complicated. This case already wasn't working so well - with blurry
output due to image scaling, now the DPI wont be accurate in this case
although Blender is still usable.
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.
For example
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver()
{
}
```
becomes
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver() {}
```
Saves quite some vertical space, which is especially handy for
constructors.

The DPI returned by the GHOST/Wayland didn't account the buffer being
rendered at a higher (non-fractional) resolution, then scaled down.
This caused the software cursor and UI to rendered very small.
A fractional scale of 101% would show the UI just over 50% of the size
(making the UI to be close to half the scale it should have been).
Resolve by accounting for down-scaling of the buffer to it's
fractional size.
This PR adds pre-checks when enabling validation layers.
For validation layers to work some platforms require that
the Vulkan SDK is installed. Validation layers are activated
when running blender with `--debug-gpu`.
Sometimes we expect users to run with `--debug-gpu` for
narrowing down an issue and we cannot expect them to have
the Vulkan SDK installed.
This patch will check if the `VK_LAYER_PATH` is available
and that the configuration file of the validation layer is
present. If this isn't the case we don't activate the
requested validation layer.

Calling render (for example) with an existing window open now activates
the window on Wayland. Tested to work on GNOME & KDE.
Use the xdg-activation protocol which typically brings the
window to the foreground.
Partially resolves#102985.
Clang would warn about failure to use 'override' when a single
method was added that used 'override' when none of the other methods
did.
This meant a single correct use of override caused noisy compiler
warnings (for CLANG but not GCC).
Avoid this by using 'override' where appropriate.
Adding checks for platform capabilities involved adding functions
to multiple classes and was too involved.
Replace this with a single GHOST_System::getCapabilities() function.
Workaround gnome-shell including uninitialized memory when pasting
from the clipboard. Where `read` would not write data into the range
return by the length.
Reading from the pipe into a power-of-two buffer
works around the problem.
It's not clear why this only impacts gnome-shell - as there is no
significant down-side to changing the buffer size, apply a workaround.

Only the text editor supported the primary clipboard & only for modal
selection. Now selecting text in the console & 3D text editing also
sets the primary clipboard under X11 & Wayland.
Notes:
- Pasting from the primary clipboard isn't yet exposed in the key-map
so in practice it's only useful for pasting text outside of Blender.
- Use skip-save option when pasting from the primary selection
so this is never used by the regular paste shortcut.
- This commit adds a primary-clipboard flag to WM_capabilities_flag() so
creating the the copy-buffer is only performed when necessary.
Use XCURSOR_THEME & XCURSOR_SIZE environment variables for Wayland.
While this isn't an official part of the spec, many Wayland compositors
& applications use these variables.
Currently a developer that starts blender with `--debug-gpu` or
runs the GPU test cases can receive an error when not the full
VulkanSDK is installed.
The VulkanSDK isn't required for normal developement and
therefore it is better to show it as a warning.
NOTE: VulkanSDK is adviced to use when developing in the Vulkan
backend as it contains tools that helps/speed up the development
and validation during development.

On the Windows platform, raise windows and give them focus as the mouse
hovers over them. This allows keyboard shortcuts for the area under the
mouse without having to click the window caption to make them active.
Pull Request #104681
Revert of commits that allowed non-temp Blender windows to be saved
and restored that spanned multiple monitors on the Windows platform.
This causes problems with temp windows (like Preferences & Render) that
cannot currently be fixed.
See 104956 for much more details.
This change is being redone after it was accidentally reverted.

This patch adds initial support for compute shaders to
the vulkan backend. As the development is oriented to the test-
cases we have the implementation is limited to what is used there.
It has been validated that with this patch that the following test
cases are running as expected
- `GPUVulkanTest.gpu_shader_compute_vbo`
- `GPUVulkanTest.gpu_shader_compute_ibo`
- `GPUVulkanTest.gpu_shader_compute_ssbo`
- `GPUVulkanTest.gpu_storage_buffer_create_update_read`
- `GPUVulkanTest.gpu_shader_compute_2d`
This patch includes:
- Allocating VkBuffer on device.
- Uploading data from CPU to VkBuffer.
- Binding VkBuffer as SSBO to a compute shader.
- Execute compute shader and altering VkBuffer.
- Download the VkBuffer to CPU ram.
- Validate that it worked.
- Use device only vertex buffer as SSBO
- Use device only index buffer as SSBO
- Use device only image buffers
GHOST API has been changed as the original design was created before
we even had support for compute shaders in blender. The function
`GHOST_getVulkanBackbuffer` has been separated to retrieve the command
buffer without a backbuffer (`GHOST_getVulkanCommandBuffer`). In order
to do correct command buffer processing we needed access to the queue
owned by GHOST. This is returned as part of the `GHOST_getVulkanHandles`
function.
Open topics (not considered part of this patch)
- Memory barriers & command buffer encoding
- Indirect compute dispatching
- Rest of the test cases
- Data conversions when requested data format is different than on device.
- GPUVulkanTest.gpu_shader_compute_1d is supported on AMD devices.
NVIDIA doesn't seem to support 1d textures.
