performance of the viewport.
The attached file demonstrates the issue. Before this change hiding
the object does not change FPS, after this change FPS goes high when
the object is hidden.

Changing the object temporary visibility is already expected to tag
scene for bases updates, which flushes down the stream to the object
visibility update. So the only remaining topic was to ensure the
graph does a special round of visibility update on such changes.

While it is hard to measure the performance impact accurately, there
is no need to perform per-modifier string lookup on every frame update.
Implemented as an exceptional case in the code which flushes updates to
the entire component. Sounds a bit suboptimal, but there are already
other exception cases handled in the function.

While missing the break before a default that only breaks isn't
an error, it means adding new cases needs to remember to add the
break for an existing case, changing the default case will also
result in an unintended fall-through.
Also avoid `default:;` and add an explicit break.
Need to update relations when modifiers are added or removed
since those create nodes in the dependency graph.
Added an assert statement to point at possible culprit so

Solves long-standing issue when dependencies of disabled modifiers are
evaluated.
Simple test case: no drivers or animation. Manually enabling modifier
is expected to bring FPS up, enabling modifier will bring FPS (sine
evaluation can not be avoided)

More complex test case: modifier visibility is driven by an animated
property. In am ideal world FPS during property being zero is fast
and when property is 1 the FPS is low.

A mistake in the 0dcee6a386 which made specific driven visibility
to work, but did not properly handle actual time-based visibility.
The basic idea of the change is to preserve recalculation flags of
nodes which were tagged for update but were not evaluated due to
visibility constraints. In the file from the report this makes it
so tagging which is done first time ID is in the dependency graph
are handled when the ID actually becomes visible. This is what
solved the root of the problem from the report: there was missing
geometry update since it was "swallowed" by the evaluation during
the object being invisible. In other configurations this change
allows to handle pending geometry updates due to animated modifiers
be handled when object becomes visible without time change.
This change also solves visibility issue of the synchronization
component which also started to be handled badly since the
previous fix attempt. Basically, the needed exception in its
visibility handling did not happen and a regular logic was used
for it.
Tested with files from the T99733, T99976, and from the Heist
project.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D15544
The issue was caused by the fact that objects with driven or animated
visibility were considered visible by the dependency graph evaluation.
This change makes it so the dependency graph evaluation is aware of
visibility which might be changing. This is achieved by evaluating the
path of the graph which affects objects visibility and adjusts to it
before evaluating the rest of the graph.
There is some time penalty to this, but there does not seem to be a
way to fully avoid this penalty.
With the production shot from the heist project the FPS drops by a
tenth of a frame (~9.4 vs ~9.3 fps) when adding a driver to an object
which keeps it visible. Note that this is a bit hard to measure since
the FPS fluctuates quite a bit throughout the playback. On the other
hand, having a driver on a visibility of a heavy object from character
and setting visibility to false gives big speedup.
Also worth noting that there is no penalty at all when there are no
animated visibilities in the scene.

This adds missing cases to detect edit mode for Curves objects.
Unlike other object types, Curves do not have specific edit data,
rather we edit the original data directly, and rely on `Object.mode`.
For this, `BKE_object_data_is_in_editmode` had to be modified to
take a pointer to the object. This affects two places: the outliner
and the dependency graph. For the former place, the object pointer
is readily available, and we can use it. For the latter, the object
pointer is not available, however since it is used to update edit
mode pointers, and since Curves do not have such data, we can
safely pass null to the function here.
This also fixes the assertion failure that happens when closing a file
in edit mode.

This quick fix will populate the runtime orig pointers to avoid

This will have to be revisited and fixed with a better solution.
This commit renames enums related the "Curve" object type and ID type

To summarize for the record, the plans are:
- In the short/medium term, replace the `Curve` object data type with
`Curves`
- In the longer term (no immediate plans), use a proper data block for

This implements the update cache described in T95401.
The cache is currently only used for drawing strokes and
sculpting (using the push brush).
**Note: Making use of the cache throughout grease pencil will
have to be done incrementally in other patches. **
The update cache stores what elements have changed in the
original data-block since the last time the eval object
was updated. Additionally, the update cache can store multiple
updates to the data and minimizes the number of elements
that need to be copied.
Elements can be tagged using `BKE_gpencil_tag_full_update` and
`BKE_gpencil_tag_light_update`. A full update means that the element
itself will be copied but also all of the content inside. E.g. when a
layer is tagged for a full update, the layer, all the frames inside the
layer and all the strokes inside the frames will be copied.
A light update means that only the properties of the element are copied
without any of the content. E.g. if a layer is tagged with a light
update, it will copy the layer name, opacity, transform, etc.
When the update cache is in use (e.g. elements have been tagged) then
the depsgraph will not trigger a copy-on-write, but an update-on-write.
This means that the update cache will be used to determine what elements
have changed and then only those elements will be copied over to the
eval object.
If the update cache is empty or the data block was tagged with a full
update, we always fall back to a copy-on-write.
Currently, the update cache is only used by the active depsgraph. This
is because we need to free the update cache after an update-on-write so
it's reset and we need to make sure it is not freed or read by other
depsgraphs.

Based on discussions from T95355 and T94193, the plan is to use
the name "Curves" to describe the data-block container for multiple
curves. Eventually this will replace the existing "Curve" data-block.
However, it will be a while before the curve data-block can be replaced
so in order to distinguish the two curve types in the UI, "Hair Curves"
will be used, but eventually changed back to "Curves".
This patch renames "hair-related" files, functions, types, and variable
names to this convention. A deep rename is preferred to keep code
consistent and to avoid any "hair" terminology from leaking, since the
new data-block is meant for all curve types, not just hair use cases.
The downside of this naming is that the difference between "Curve"
and "Curves" has become important. That was considered during
design discussons and deemed acceptable, especially given the
non-permanent nature of the somewhat common conflict.
Some points of interest:
- All DNA compatibility is lost, just like rBf59767ff9729.
- I renamed `ID_HA` to `ID_CV` so there is no complete mismatch.
- `hair_curves` is used where necessary to distinguish from the
existing "curves" plural.
- I didn't rename any of the cycles/rendering code function names,
since that is also used by the old hair particle system.

The issue was happening with a specific file where the ID management
code was not fully copying all modifiers because of the extra check
in the `BKE_object_support_modifier_type_check()`.
While it is arguable that copy-on-write should be a 1:1 copy there is
no real need to maintain the per-modifier pointer to its original.
Use its SessionUUID to perform lookup in the original datablock.
Downside of this approach is that it is a linear lookup instead of
direct pointer access, but the upside is that there is less pointers
to manage and that the file with unsupported modifiers does behave
correct without any asserts.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D13993
The modifiers are mapped between original and evaluated objects based on
their session IDs. The pointer to original modifier is no longer needed
for the backup: it remained from the initial implementation which was
rewritten at some point.
This is a preparation for removal of the pointer to original modifier.
Blender would have crashed when renaming bone in Edit Mode, Saving, and

Caused by a mistake in the 0f89bcdbeb: can not "short-circuit" the
CoW update if it was explicitly requested.
Safest for now solution seems to be to store whether the CoW component
has been explicitly tagged, so that the following configuration can be
supported:
DEG_id_tag_update(id, ID_RECALC_GEOMETRY);
DEG_id_tag_update(id, ID_RECALC_COPY_ON_WRITE);

The evaluated mesh is a result of evaluated modifiers, and referencing
other evaluated IDs such as materials.
It can not be stored in the EditMesh structure which is intended to be
re-used by many areas. Such sharing was causing ownership errors causing
bugs like
T93855: Cycles crash with edit mode and simultaneous viewport and final render
The proposed solution is to store the evaluated edit mesh and its cage in
the object's runtime field. The motivation goes as following:
- It allows to avoid ownership problems like the ones in the linked report.
- Object level is chosen over mesh level is because the evaluated mesh
is affected by modifiers, which are on the object level.
This patch allows to have modifier stack of an object which shares mesh with
an object which is in edit mode to be properly taken into account (before
the change the modifier stack from the active object will be used for all
objects which share the mesh).
There is a change in the way how copy-on-write is handled in the edit mode to
allow proper state update when changing active scene (or having two windows
with different scenes). Previously, the copt-on-write would have been ignored
by skipping tagging CoW component. Now it is ignored from within the CoW
operation callback. This allows to update edit pointers for objects which are
not from the current depsgraph and where the edit_mesh was never assigned in
the case when the depsgraph was evaluated prior the active depsgraph.
There is no user level changes changes expected with the CoW handling changes:
should not affect on neither performance, nor memory consumption.
Tested scenarios:
- Various modifiers configurations of objects sharing mesh and be part of the
same scene.
- Steps from the reports: T93855, T82952, T77359
This also fixes T76609, T72733 and perhaps other reports.

Not sure why this bug was only discovered by such an elaborate steps

that in the 956c539e59 the typical flow of tag+flush+evaluate was

This reverts commit 0558907ae6.
Based on discussion with Sergey, having Python references to un-expanded
data should not happen - this change needs to be reconsidered.
With this commit, curve objects support the geometry nodes modifier.
Curves objects now evaluate to `CurveEval` unless there was a previous
implicit conversion (tessellating modifiers, mesh modifiers, or the
settings in the curve "Geometry" panel). In the new code, curves are
only considered to be the wire edges-- any generated surface is a mesh
instead, stored in the evaluated geometry set.
The consolidation of concepts mentioned above allows remove a lot of
code that had to do with maintaining the `DispList` type temporarily
for modifiers and rendering. Instead, render engines see a separate
object for the mesh from the mesh geometry component, and when the
curve object evaluates to a curve, the `CurveEval` is always used for
drawing wire edges.
However, currently the `DispList` type is still maintained and used as
an intermediate step in implicit mesh conversion. In the future, more
uses of it could be changed to use `CurveEval` and `Mesh` instead.
This is mostly not changed behavior, it is just a formalization of
existing logic after recent fixes for 2.8 versions last year and two
years ago. Also, in the future more functionality can be converted
to nodes, removing cases of implicit conversions. For more discussion
on that topic, see T89676.
The `use_fill_deform` option is removed. It has not worked properly
since 2.62, and the choice for filling a curve before or after
deformation will work much better and be clearer with a node system.
Applying the geometry nodes modifier to generate a curve is not
implemented with this commit, so applying the modifier won't work
at all. This is a separate technical challenge, and should be solved
in a separate step.

We now use a for_each function with callback to iterate through all sequences in the scene.
This has the benefit that we now only loop over the sequences in the scene once.
Before we would loop over them twice and allocate memory to store temporary data.
The allocation of temporary data lead to unintentional memory leaks if the code used returns to exit out of the iteration loop.
The new for_each callback method doesn't allocate any temporary data and only iterates though all sequences once.
