It it rather an old experiment now which didn't pay off.
The initial idea was to have main and jobs threads on fast
nodes of TR2 processors. This didn't really work reliably
because in Blender we need to be able to create nested
threads without their affinity set. This is not how some of
OS are creating nested threads, and we don't always have
access to child threads to reset their affinity.
So overall complexity of the initial idea implementation
became too much compared to the performance gain.
- Added space below non doc-string comments to make it clear
these aren't comments for the symbols directly below them.
- Use doxy sections for some headers.
- Minor improvements to doc-strings.
Ref T92709
Replace `typedef` with `using` in C++ code.
In the case of `typedef struct SomeName { ... } SomeName;` I removed the
`typedef` altogether, as this is unnecessary in C++. Such cases have been
rewritten to `struct SomeName { ... };`
No functional changes.
This addresses warnings from Clang-Tidy's `readability-else-after-return`
rule in the `source/blender/blenlib` module. Not all warnings are
addressed in this commit.
No functional changes.
When building without TBB use native to the platform spin lock
implementation. For Windows it is an atomic-based busy-wait,
for Linux it is pthreads' spin lock.
For macOS it is a mutex lock. The reason behind this is to stop
using atomics library which has been declared deprecated in SDK
version 10.12. So this changes fixes a lot of noisy warnings on
the newer SDK.
