This prevents the use of unaligned data types in
vertex formats. These formats are not supported on many
platform.
This simplify the `GPUVertexFormat` class a lot as
we do not need packing shenanigans anymore and just
compute the vertex stride.
The old enums are kept for progressive porting of the
backends and user code.
This will break compatibility with python addons.

This PR adds builtin shaders for drawing points. Using `FLAT_COLOR`,
`SMOOTH_COLOR`, `UNIFORM_COLOR` can lead to undesired behavior
on Metal and Vulkan backends. To ensure future compatibility this PR
adds `POINT_FLAT_COLOR` and `POINT_UNIFORM_COLOR`.
The point size can be set using `gpu.state.point_size_set`.

This PR adds a clear on creation for draw region framebuffers, which
fixes issue https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/139443.
When using the "Lock Interface" option, redrawing is disabled until the
rendering process has finished. When the GPU driver does not initialize
framebuffer textures with zero, this means that visual corruption can
be perceived when resizing the main window while rendering.
This fix makes sure that framebuffer textures are initialized with zero
on all GPU platforms.

This is adding a hard error for backends do that do not supports it.
Even without this, the backend would return a nullptr. But the error
message in this case was just "see console for more details" without
any additional detail. Which was confusing.
Add back the deprecated format to avoid asserts.
GPU backends should still have the code to support them.
Also add deprecation warnings as these types will be
removed for 5.0.

This promotes any INT_TO_FLOAT attribute to F32 and
to the float promotion inside python `attr_fill`.
We issue a deprecation warning when hitting this path.
Raise an error is the component type is not integer.

This commit finishes removing the uses of the integer to float
vertex buffer fetch mode. Previous commits noted below already started
that process. The last usage was geometry attributes. Now integers are
converted to floats as part of the existing upload process.
The change makes the Vulkan vertex buffer type conversion unused, so
it's removed. That's nice because Vulkan vertex buffers go from 1040 to
568 bytes in size and have significantly less overhead on creation.

Add-ons can call a batch draw command for lines using a surface shader.
This is not intended and polylines shaders should be used. This PR
lighten this restriction to automatically replace the shader with the
correct polyline shader, similar to immediate mode.
This change is done inside the python wrapper as internally we should
use the correct polyline shader.
For point shaders we don't have a work around in place and that needs
more discussion. Therefore this is only a partial fix.

This is getting in the way of making the
GPUShader API more threadsafe.
This getter already doesn't work for vulkan
and Metal, and has very limited usage.
Keeping the python function to avoid errors
and display a deprecation warning.

The main issue of 'type-less' standard C allocations is that there is no check on
allocated type possible.
This is a serious source of annoyance (and crashes) when making some
low-level structs non-trivial, as tracking down all usages of these
structs in higher-level other structs and their allocation is... really
painful.
MEM_[cm]allocN<T> templates on the other hand do check that the
given type is trivial, at build time (static assert), which makes such issue...
trivial to catch.
NOTE: New code should strive to use MEM_new (i.e. allocation and
construction) as much as possible, even for trivial PoD types.

When using clangd or running clang-tidy on headers there are
currently many errors. These are noisy in IDEs, make auto fixes
impossible, and break features like code completion, refactoring
and navigation.
This makes source/blender headers work by themselves, which is
generally the goal anyway. But #includes and forward declarations
were often incomplete.
* Add #includes and forward declarations
* Add IWYU pragma: export in a few places
* Remove some unused #includes (but there are many more)
* Tweak ShaderCreateInfo macros to work better with clangd
Some types of headers still have errors, these could be fixed or
worked around with more investigation. Mostly preprocessor
template headers like NOD_static_types.h.
Note that that disabling WITH_UNITY_BUILD is required for clangd to
work properly, otherwise compile_commands.json does not contain
the information for the relevant source files.

PR #129315 refactored polylines. The shaders now attaches the vertex
attributes as SSBOs. Adding a workaround for polyline shaders to
extract the correct vertex formats when called via Python.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/132689
Confusing error messages are printed when requesting a clipped builtin
shader via Python that does not exist.
This PR will remove the confusion of the messaging:
- Replaced BLI_assert_unreachable with an assert as it is reachable
code.
- Adding clipped configuration for POLYLINE_UNIFORM_COLOR
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/132686
In Blender 4.4 (since commit 00a8d006fe), polyline shaders stopped
using geometry shaders and now rely on SSBOs.
In C++, workarounds allow these shaders to function as before, albeit
with some limitations.
To address these known limitations, error messages are now raised when
a polyline shader is used with unsupported configurations.

In Blender 4.4 (since commit 00a8d006fe), polyline shaders stopped
using geometry shaders and now rely on SSBOs.
In C++, workarounds allow these shaders to function as before, albeit
with some limitations.
However, this change broke the `batch_for_shader` function in Python,
as `GPUShader.attrs_info_get()` only reads attributes and does not
support SSBOs.
To address this, the method now treats polyline shaders differently,
accessing SSBO inputs instead of attributes.
fix
NOTE: This also required some changes to Cycles code itself, who is now
directly including `BKE_image.hh` instead of declaring a few prototypes
of these functions in its `blender/utils.h` header (due to C++ functions
names mangling, this was not working anymore).
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/130174
Replace plain-text type information with the type syntax used
for Python's type annotations as it's more concise, especially for
callbacks which often didn't include useful type information.
Note that this change only applies to inline doc-strings,
generated doc-strings from RNA need to be updated separately.
Details:
- Many minor corrections were made when "list" was incorrectly used
instead of "sequence".
- Some type information wasn't defined in the doc-strings and has been
added.
- Verbose type info would benefit from support for type aliases.
- `_PySet_NextEntry` has been removed, use generic iterator access
which will has some additional overhead as it needs to create
an iterator to access the values.
- Add v3.13 compatibility defines to account for renaming:
_PyObject_LookupAttr -> PyObject_GetOptionalAttr
_PyLong_AsInt -> PyLong_AsInt
- Unfortunately use of Python's internal API needs to be used to
inspect op-codes in `bpy_driver.cc`.
Testing GLTF/FBX IO there isn't any significant performance impact
from these changes.
Resolves#123871.
