Some of the message-bus macros are not safe to use in C++. This has come
up before, but no good solution was found. Now @LazyDodo, @HooglyBoogly

The message-bus API should address this.
We want to refactor quite some of the Outliner code using C++, this is a

When drawing windows on monitors that differ in DPI, we can sometimes

that `wm_window_make_drawable` always updates DPI.

This patch implements the vector types (i.e:`float2`) by making heavy
usage of templating. All vector functions are now outside of the vector
classes (inside the `blender::math` namespace) and are not vector size
dependent for the most part.
In the ongoing effort to make shaders less GL centric, we are aiming
to share more code between GLSL and C++ to avoid code duplication.
####Motivations:
- We are aiming to share UBO and SSBO structures between GLSL and C++.
This means we will use many of the existing vector types and others
we currently don't have (uintX, intX). All these variations were
asking for many more code duplication.
- Deduplicate existing code which is duplicated for each vector size.
- We also want to share small functions. Which means that vector
functions should be static and not in the class namespace.
- Reduce friction to use these types in new projects due to their
incompleteness.
- The current state of the `BLI_(float|double|mpq)(2|3|4).hh` is a
bit of a let down. Most clases are incomplete, out of sync with each
others with different codestyles, and some functions that should be
static are not (i.e: `float3::reflect()`).
####Upsides:
- Still support `.x, .y, .z, .w` for readability.
- Compact, readable and easilly extendable.
- All of the vector functions are available for all the vectors types
and can be restricted to certain types. Also template specialization
let us define exception for special class (like mpq).
- With optimization ON, the compiler unroll the loops and performance
is the same.
####Downsides:
- Might impact debugability. Though I would arge that the bugs are
rarelly caused by the vector class itself (since the operations are
quite trivial) but by the type conversions.
- Might impact compile time. I did not saw a significant impact since
the usage is not really widespread.
- Functions needs to be rewritten to support arbitrary vector length.
For instance, one can't call `len_squared_v3v3` in
`math::length_squared()` and call it a day.
- Type cast does not work with the template version of the `math::`
vector functions. Meaning you need to manually cast `float *` and
`(float *)[3]` to `float3` for the function calls.
i.e: `math::distance_squared(float3(nearest.co), positions[i]);`
- Some parts might loose in readability:
`float3::dot(v1.normalized(), v2.normalized())`
becoming
`math::dot(math::normalize(v1), math::normalize(v2))`
But I propose, when appropriate, to use
`using namespace blender::math;` on function local or file scope to
increase readability.
`dot(normalize(v1), normalize(v2))`
####Consideration:
- Include back `.length()` method. It is quite handy and is more C++
oriented.
- I considered the GLM library as a candidate for replacement. It felt
like too much for what we need and would be difficult to extend / modify
to our needs.
- I used Macros to reduce code in operators declaration and potential
copy paste bugs. This could reduce debugability and could be reverted.
- This touches `delaunay_2d.cc` and the intersection code. I would like
to know @howardt opinion on the matter.
- The `noexcept` on the copy constructor of `mpq(2|3)` is being removed.
But according to @JacquesLucke it is not a real problem for now.
I would like to give a huge thanks to @JacquesLucke who helped during this
and pushed me to reduce the duplication further.

The issue was caused by Cycles display driver not being able to restore
window's OpenGL context after disposing Cycles-side OpenGL context.
This is due to the window OpenGL re-activation needing to access window
manager which gets cleared out form global main during file reading.
Defer clearing window manager from the global main to until after all
screens are "exited". This allows Cycles to properly stop rendering,
dispose its OpenGL context, and restore window's drawable context.
It is unclear why it was required to clear window manager list early
on. Guess is that it comes from an original code in a1c8543f2a where
there was an early return which then got replaced with an actual logic
without changing the order of de-initialization and window manager list
clear.

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.
This was originally written by Ankit Meel as a GSoC 2020 project.
Howard Trickey added some tests and made some corrections/modifications.
See D13046 for more details.
This commit inserts a new menu item into the export menu called
"Wavefront OBJ (.obj) - New".
For now the old Python exporter remains in the menu, along with
the Python importer, but we plan to remove it soon (leaving the
old addon bundled with Blender but not enabled by default).
This evaluator is used in order to evaluate subdivision at render time, allowing for
faster renders of meshes with a subdivision surface modifier placed at the last
position in the modifier list.
When evaluating the subsurf modifier, we detect whether we can delegate evaluation
to the draw code. If so, the subdivision is first evaluated on the GPU using our own
custom evaluator (only the coarse data needs to be initially sent to the GPU), then,
buffers for the final `MeshBufferCache` are filled on the GPU using a set of
compute shaders. However, some buffers are still filled on the CPU side, if doing so
on the GPU is impractical (e.g. the line adjacency buffer used for x-ray, whose
logic is hardly GPU compatible).
This is done at the mesh buffer extraction level so that the result can be readily used
in the various OpenGL engines, without having to write custom geometry or tesselation
shaders.
We use our own subdivision evaluation shaders, instead of OpenSubDiv's vanilla one, in
order to control the data layout, and interpolation. For example, we store vertex colors
as compressed 16-bit integers, while OpenSubDiv's default evaluator only work for float
types.
In order to still access the modified geometry on the CPU side, for use in modifiers
or transform operators, a dedicated wrapper type is added `MESH_WRAPPER_TYPE_SUBD`.
Subdivision will be lazily evaluated via `BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh` which will
create such a wrapper if possible. If the final subdivision surface is not needed on
the CPU side, `BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh_no_subsurf` should be used.
Enabling or disabling GPU subdivision can be done through the user preferences (under
Viewport -> Subdivision).

Saving with only a filename (from Python) wasn't being prevented,
while it would successfully write the file to the working-directory,
path remapping and setting relative paths wouldn't work afterwards
as `Main.filepath` would have no directory component.
Disallow this since it's a corner case which only ever occurs
when path names without any directories are used from Python,
the overhead of expanding the working-directory for all data saving
operations isn't worthwhile.
The following changes have been made:
- bpy.ops.wm.save_mainfile() without a filepath argument
fails & reports and error when the file hasn't been saved.
Previously it would write to "untitled.blend" and set the
`G.main->filepath` to this as well.
- bpy.ops.wm.save_mainfile(filepath="untitled.blend")
fails & reports and error as the filename has no directory component.
- `BLI_path_is_abs_from_cwd` was added to check if the path would
attempt to expand to the CWD.
Revert part of the fix from 073669dd85
that initialized the file-path on first save as it's no longer needed.
Also remove relbase argument to BLI_path_normalize as the destination
file paths shouldn't use relative locations.
In almost all cases there is no difference between `G.relbase_valid`
and checking `G.main->filepath` isn't an empty string.
In many places a non-empty string is already being used instead of
`G.relbase_valid`.
The only situation where this was needed was when saving from
`wm_file_write` where they temporarily became out of sync.
This has been replaced by adding a new member to `BlendFileWriteParams`
to account for saving an unsaved file for the first time.

Whenever an exception happens in VR session code, we cancel the entire

Whenever an exception happens in VR session code, we cancel the entire
session. Alongside that, we removed the "surface" item used to draw into
an offscreen context. But this may still be stored as active surface,
leading to a use-after-free when deactivating this active surface, for
example.
Dead-lock when VR viewport drawing and depsgraph updates would fight for
the draw-manager GL lock. This didn't usually cause issues because the
depsgraph would be evaluated at this point already, except in rare
exceptions like after file writing.
Fix this by ensuring the XR surface gets its depsgraph updated after
handling notifiers, which is where regular windows also do the depsgraph
updating.
The difference between G.save_over and G.relbase_valid was minor.
There is one change in functionality. When saving the default-startup
file from an already loaded blend file - future save actions will
continue to write to the originally loaded file instead of prompting
the user to select a location to save the file.
This change makes saving the startup file behave the same way
"Save a Copy" does.

Use "filepath" which is the current convention for naming full paths.
- Main use "name" which isn't obviously a file path.
- BlendFileData & FileGlobal used "filename" which is often
used for the name component of a path (without the directory).
The main goal of this refactor is to make BPath module use `IDTypeInfo`,
and move each ID-specific part of the `foreach_path` looper into their
own IDTypeInfo struct, using a new `foreach_path` callback.
Additionally, following improvements/cleanups are included:
* Attempt to get better, more consistent namings.
** In particular, move from `path_visitor` to more standard `foreach_path`.
* Update and extend documentation.
** API doc was moved to header, according to recent discussions on this
topic.
* Remove `BKE_bpath_relocate_visitor` from API, this is specific
callback that belongs in `lib_id.c` user code.
NOTE: This commit is expected to be 100% non-behavioral-change. This
implies that several potential further changes were only noted as
comments (like using a more generic solution for
`lib_id_library_local_paths`, addressing inconsistencies like path of
packed libraries always being skipped, regardless of the
`BKE_BPATH_FOREACH_PATH_SKIP_PACKED` `eBPathForeachFlag` flag value,
etc.).

Basically, this fixes disappearing previews when editing asset metadata
or performing undo/redo actions.
The preview generation in a background job will eventually modify ID
data, but the undo push was done prior to that. So obviously, an undo
then would mean the preview is lost.
This patch makes it so undo/redo will regenerate the preview, if the preview
rendering was invoked but not finished in the undone/redone state.
The preview flag PRV_UNFINISHED wasn't entirely what we needed. So I had to
change it to a slightly different flag, with different semantics.
Two issues addressed here:
I) `asset_type_info` is sub-data, not a callback. Therefore, move it
before the callbacks in the `IDTypeInfo` struct.
II) More important, initialize this new attribute in *ALL* `IDTypeInfo`
instances. No member of this struct should ever be left implicitely
uninitilazed, ever.
Aftermath of rBa84f1c02d251.
Add an operator "Copy to Asset Library" for installing asset bundles
into already-existing asset libraries.
The operator is shown when:
- the "Current File" library is selected,
- the blend file name matches `*_bundle.blend`, and
- the file is not already located in an asset library.
The user can select a target asset library, then gets a "Save As"
dialogue box to select where in that library the file should be saved.
This allows for renaming, saving in a subdirectory, etc.
The Asset Catalogs from the asset bundle are merged into the target
asset library.
The operator will refuse to run when external files are referenced. This
is not done in its poll function, as it's quite an extensive operator
(it loops over all ID datablocks).
