This patch from Erik Abrahamsson uses a parallel_for to speed up
the case where the input is not manifold and the "hole_tolerant"
option is set.
In a test case on a 24 core (48 thread) machine, this sped up a
the boolean part on an object with 221k triangles from 12.06s to 0.46s.
Event though in practice this wasn't causing problems as the fixed size
buffers are generally large enough not to truncate text.
Using the result from `snprint` or `BLI_snprintf` to step over a fixed
size buffer allows for buffer overruns as the returned value is the size
needed to copy the entire string, not the number of bytes copied.
Building strings using this convention with multiple calls:
ofs += BLI_snprintf(str + ofs, str_len_max - ofs);
.. caused the size argument to become negative,
wrapping it to a large value when cast to the unsigned argument.
This patch fixes a long-standing complaint from users:
the console window shortly flashing when they start
blender.
This is done by adding a new executable called
blender-launcher.exe which starts blender.exe while
hiding the console.
Any command line parameters given to blender-launcher
will be passed on to blender.exe so it'll be a drop
in replacement.
Starting blender.exe on its own will still function as
a proper console app so no changes required here for
users that use blender for batch processing.
Notable changes:
Registering blender (-R switch) will now register
blender-launcher as the preferred executable.
This patch updates the installer and updates the
shortcuts to start blender-launcher.exe rather
than blender.exe

Colors are often thought of as being 4 values that make up that can make any color.
But that is of course too limited. In C we didn’t spend time to annotate what we meant
when using colors.
Recently `BLI_color.hh` was made to facilitate color structures in CPP. CPP has possibilities to
enforce annotating structures during compilation and can adds conversions between them using
function overloading and explicit constructors.
The storage structs can hold 4 channels (r, g, b and a).
Usage:
Convert a theme byte color to a linearrgb premultiplied.
```
ColorTheme4b theme_color;
ColorSceneLinear4f<eAlpha::Premultiplied> linearrgb_color =
BLI_color_convert_to_scene_linear(theme_color).premultiply_alpha();
```
The API is structured to make most use of inlining. Most notable are space
conversions done via `BLI_color_convert_to*` functions.
- Conversions between spaces (theme <=> scene linear) should always be done by
invoking the `BLI_color_convert_to*` methods.
- Encoding colors (compressing to store colors inside a less precision storage)
should be done by invoking the `encode` and `decode` methods.
- Changing alpha association should be done by invoking `premultiply_alpha` or
`unpremultiply_alpha` methods.
# Encoding.
Color encoding is used to store colors with less precision as in using `uint8_t` in
stead of `float`. This encoding is supported for `eSpace::SceneLinear`.
To make this clear to the developer the `eSpace::SceneLinearByteEncoded`
space is added.
# Precision
Colors can be stored using `uint8_t` or `float` colors. The conversion
between the two precisions are available as methods. (`to_4b` and
`to_4f`).
# Alpha conversion
Alpha conversion is only supported in SceneLinear space.
Extending:
- This file can be extended with `ColorHex/Hsl/Hsv` for different representations
of rgb based colors. `ColorHsl4f<eSpace::SceneLinear, eAlpha::Premultiplied>`
- Add non RGB spaces/storages ColorXyz.

This patch turns off the creation of file thumbnails for files that are
offline and therefore not fully-present on the file system. These types
of files - typically cloud-based or stored on slower backup media -
only have their contents available when actually accessed, at which
point there will be a short delay. If we allow thumbnail creation in
this state then all offline files in a folder will be downloaded just
to view a listing, which can take a long time.
Files in this state will instead get a more generic thumbnail that
still indicates file type (icon in center) and that shows offline state
will a special icon at the bottom-left.
Although this currently only affects Windows users, most of this patch
is platform-agnostic. So other platforms inherit this behavior if they
only add FILE_ATTR_OFFLINE attribute to files in this state.

There was a quadratic algorithm extracting triangles from a coplanar
cluster. This is now linear.
Also found and fixed a bug in the same area related to the triangulator
added recently: it didn't get the right correspondence between new
edges and original edges.
In some cases functions were defined with arguments of different array
lengths in headers vs. implementations. This commit fixes some of the
cases I ran into, but probably not all of them.
This removes a lot of unnecessary code that is generated by
the compiler automatically.
In very few cases, a defaulted destructor in a .cc file is
still necessary, because of forward declarations in the header.
I removed some defaulted virtual destructors, because they are not
necessary, when the parent class has a virtual destructor already.
Defaulted constructors are only necessary when there is another
constructor, but the class should still be default constructible.

This fixes T86440
As the CU_2D flag is set for nurbs, a Curve can have 2D nurbs mixed with 3D.
But the UI does not allow this mixing. It updates all nurbs to 2D or 3D when set.
So remove this specific flag for nurbs.
This may break old files, since 2D curves with mixed 3D are now set as 3D.

Expose a this function to initialize any zeroed axes
to an orthogonal vector based on other non-zeroed axes.
This functionality already existed for `invert_m#_m#_safe_ortho`,
expose as a public function as it's useful to be able to fill in zeroed
axes of transformation matrices since they may be used in matrix
multiplication which would create degenerate matrices.
This is an implementation of Enhanced Subpixel Morphological Antialiasing (SMAA)
The algorithm was proposed by:
Jorge Jimenez, Jose I. Echevarria, Tiago Sousa, Diego Gutierrez
This node provides only SMAA 1x mode, so the operation will be done with no spatial
multisampling nor temporal supersampling. See Patch for comparisons.
The existing AA operation seems to be used only for binary images by some other nodes.
Using SMAA for binary images needs no important parameter such as "threshold", so we
perhaps can switch the operation to SMAA, though that changes existing behavior.
Notes:
1. The program code assumes the screen coordinates are DirectX style that the
vertical direction is upside-down, so "top" and "bottom" actually represent bottom
and top, respectively.

This adds a `BLI_assert_unreachable()` macro, that should be used instead
of `BLI_assert(false)` in many places.
* `BLI_assert_unreachable` provides more information than `BLI_assert(false)`
to people reading the code.
* `BLI_assert_unreachable` will print an error to `stderr` in a release build.
This makes it more likely that we will get bug reports when the assumptions
of a developer were wrong.

This adds the LineArt grease pencil modifier.
It takes objects or collections as input and generates various grease
pencil lines from these objects with the help of the active scene
camera. For example it can generate contour lines, intersection lines
and crease lines to name a few.
This is really useful as artists can then use 3D meshes to automatically
generate grease pencil lines for characters, enviroments or other
visualization purposes.
These lines can then be baked and edited as regular grease pencil lines.

This commit refactors the point distribute node to skip realizing
the instances created by the point instance node or the collection
and object info nodes. Realizing instances is not necessary here
because it copies all the mesh data and and interpolates all
attributes from the instances when this operation does not
need to modify the input geometry at all.
In the tree leaves test file this patch improves the performance of
the node by about 14%. That's not very much, the gain is likely larger
for more complicated input instances with more attributes (especially
attributes on different domains, where interpolation would be necessary
to join all of the instances). Another possible performance improvement
would be to parallelize the code in this node where possible.
The point distribution code unfortunately gets quite a bit more
complicated because it has to handle the complexity of having many
inputs instead of just one.
Note that this commit changes the randomness of the distribution
in some cases, as if the seed input had changed.

The commit rB6f63417b500d that made exact boolean work on meshes
with holes (like Suzanne) unfortunately dramatically slowed things
down on other non-manifold meshes that don't have holes and didn't
need the per-triangle insideness test.
This adds a hole_tolerant parameter, false by default, that the user
can enable to get good results on non-manifold meshes with holes.
Using false for this parameter speeds up the time from 90 seconds
to 10 seconds on an example with 1.2M triangles.
The Exact boolean used in the cell fracture addon incorrectly
kept some outside faces: due to some raycasts going into open
eye socket then out of the head, leading to one ray direction
(out of 8) saying the face was inside the head. The current
code allowed 1 of 8 rays only as "inside" to accommodate the
case of a plane used in boolean to bisect. But this cell fracture
case needs more confidence of being inside. So changed the
test for intersection to require at least 3 of 8 rays to be inside.
Maybe the number of rays to indicate insideness should be exposed
as an option, to allow user tuning according to the degree of
"non-volumeness" of the arguments, but will try at least for now
to magically guess the right value of the rays-inside threshold.
Note: all of this only for the case where the arguments are not
all PWN (approx: manifold). The all-PWN case doesn't use raycast.
Triangulating ngons could fail with the method that was being
used: projecting along the dominant normal axis and then using CDT.
It could fail if the ngon has self crossings or might be so after
the described projection.
Switched to using projection along the normal itself, and also to
using polyfill which produces some kind of triangulation no matter
what in such circumstances. This will also likely be faster if
there are a lot of ngons in the meshes, since the exact arithmetic
CDT was being used before, and now float arithmetic is used.
