"Own" (the adjective) cannot be used on its own. It should be combined
with something like "its own", "our own", "her own", or "the object's own".
It also isn't used separately to mean something like "separate".
Also, "its own" is correct instead of "it's own" which is a misues of the verb.
Seems to work OK in basic cases, but needs more work when copying
outside of Main at least.
Note: There is no behavioral changes expected from this commit.
Note that there are at least two known usecases for this change:
* Liboverrides, as with recursive resync and proxies conversion it
often ends up creating 'virtual' linked data that does not actually
exists in the library blend files.
* Complex versionning code (`do_versions_after_setup`) when it needs
to create new IDs (currently handling linked data that way is just not
supported!).
Implements #107847.
This data was 'hidden' away in a util in
`lib_query.cc`, which made it hard to discover and keep up-to-date.
However, as shown by e.g. #108407, critical low-level features in ID
management code, such as remapping, now rely on this information being
valid.
Also simplify `BKE_library_id_can_use_filter_id` and
`BKE_library_id_can_use_idtype` to make them more generic, relying on
IDTypeInfo to retrieve IDtype-specific info.
No behavioral changes expected here.
Implements the design from #116067.
The socket type is called "Matrix" but it is often referred to as "Transform"
when that's what it is semantically. The attribute type is "4x4 Matrix" since
that's a lower level choice. Currently matrix sockets are always passed
around internally as `float4x4`, but that can be optimized in the future
when smaller types would give the same behavior.
A new "Matrix" utilities category has the following set of initial nodes"
- **Combine Transform**
- **Separate Transform**
- **Multiply Matrices**
- **Transform Direction**
- **Transform Vector**
- **Invert Matrix**
- **Transpose Matrix**
The nodes and socket type are behind an experimental flag for now,
which will give us time to make sure it's the right set of initial nodes.
The viewer node overlay doesn't support matrices-- they aren't supported
for rendering in general. They also aren't supported in the modifier interface
currently. But they are supported in the spreadsheet, where the value is
displayed in a tooltip.

This patch adds support for _Menu Switch_ nodes and enum definitions in
node trees more generally. The design is based on the outcome of the
[2022 Nodes Workshop](https://code.blender.org/2022/11/geometry-nodes-workshop-2022/#menu-switch).
The _Menu Switch_ node is an advanced version of the _Switch_ node which
has a customizable **menu input socket** instead of a simple boolean.
The _items_ of this menu are owned by the node itself. Each item has a
name and description and unique identifier that is used internally. A
menu _socket_ represents a concrete value out of the list of items.
To enable selection of an enum value for unconnected sockets the menu is
presented as a dropdown list like built-in enums. When the socket is
connected a shared pointer to the enum definition is propagated along
links and stored in socket default values. This allows node groups to
expose a menu from an internal menu switch as a parameter. The enum
definition is a runtime copy of the enum items in DNA that allows
sharing.
A menu socket can have multiple connections, which can lead to
ambiguity. If two or more different menu source nodes are connected to a
socket it gets marked as _undefined_. Any connection to an undefined
menu socket is invalid as a hint to users that there is a problem. A
warning/error is also shown on nodes with undefined menu sockets.
At runtime the value of a menu socket is the simple integer identifier.
This can also be a field in geometry nodes. The identifier is unique
within each enum definition, and it is persistent even when items are
added, removed, or changed. Changing the name of an item does not affect
the internal identifier, so users can rename enum items without breaking
existing input values. This also persists if, for example, a linked node
group is temporarily unavailable.

There are still node versioning bits running after linking, for example
`version_geometry_nodes_replace_transfer_attribute_node`. This code
relies on node types being untouched at that point.
Move the unknown node type replacement from `ntreeSetTypes` into the
`ntreeUpdateAllNew` function. This is called _after_ late versioning.

`UUID` generally stands for "universally unique identifier". The session identifier that
we use is neither universally unique, nor does it follow the standard. Therefor, the term
"session uuid" is confusing and should be replaced.
In #116888 we briefly talked about a better name and ended up with "session uid".
The reason for "uid" instead of "id" is that the latter is a very overloaded term in Blender
already.
This patch changes all uses of "uuid" to "uid" where it's used in the context of a
"session uid". It's not always trivial to see whether a specific mention of "uuid" refers
to an actual uuid or something else. Therefore, I might have missed some renames.
I can't think of an automated way to differentiate the case.
BMesh also uses the term "uuid" sometimes in a the wrong context (e.g. `UUIDFaceStepItem`)
but there it also does not mean "session uid", so it's *not* changed by this patch.

The term `PIL` stands for "platform independent library." It exists since the `Initial Revision`
commit from 2002. Nowadays, we generally just use the `BLI` (blenlib) prefix for such code
and the `PIL` prefix feels more confusing then useful. Therefore, this patch renames the
`PIL` to `BLI`.

The name `offset_in_ID` is very misleading since it does not have to be an offset at all,
it just has to be some unique value. Often it's also a hash or a constant value depending
on the use.

Loading pre-4.0.20 node groups with sockets using subtypes causes
broken socket identifiers. This is because the node tree interface now
expects sockets to use the base identifiers ("NodeSocketFloat" instead
of "NodeSocketFloatFactor" etc.).
To correct this the conversion code now replaces socket idnames that
include a subtype suffix with their base names. This fix is also applied
to files between versions 4.0.20 and 4.1.10, where the socket types
may have been converted incorrectly.

When loading an unknown node type from a newer Blender version, the node
storage data cannot be properly loaded. Re-saving the file will then
crash if saving with the same node type idname, since new Blender
versions cannot find the expected storage data.
Loading in older versions should replace unknown node types with a dummy
"Undefined" node that will get loaded as NodeTypeUndefined in newer
versions as well. Custom node types are exempted from this since they
store all data as generic ID properties and can always be fully
serialized.
This is a revised version of the initial attempt in #114803.
Doing the node type fix in the after-linking stage ensures that
versioning code can change outdated node types which might otherwise get
removed by this type check.

Along with the 4.1 libraries upgrade, we are bumping the clang-format
version from 8-12 to 17. This affects quite a few files.
If not already the case, you may consider pointing your IDE to the
clang-format binary bundled with the Blender precompiled libraries.
This is the initial implementation for the volume grid sockets that has been
discussed during the November 2023 geometry nodes workshop.
It adds initial support for passing volume grids around in sockets. Furthermore,
it adds two new nodes. Both are initially hidden under the "New Volume Nodes"
experimental option until we have a few mode nodes.
* **Get Named Grid**: Gets or extracts a volume grid from a volume geometry
based on the grid's name.
* **Store Named Grid**: Puts a volume grid back into a volume with a name.
`SocketValueVariant` is extended to support grids besides single values and fields.
Next steps:
* Implement grid socket shape and inferencing (currently, they just look like
single values).
* Add implicit conversions between grid types.
* Implement nodes that operate on the grids (#116021).
* Improved spreadsheet and viewer support.

This adds a new `Bake` node which allows saving and loading intermediate geometries.
Typical use cases we want address with this currently are:
* Bake some data for use with a render engine.
* Bake parts of the node tree explicitly for better performance.
For now, the format that is written to disk is not considered to be an import/export format.
It's not guaranteed that data written with one Blender version can be read by another
Blender version. For that it's better to use proper interchange formats. Better support for
those will be added eventually as well. We also plan an `Import Bake` node that allows
reading the blender-specific baked data independent of the Bake node and at different frames.
The baking works very similar to the baking in the simulation zone (UI and implementation
wise). Major differences are:
* The Bake node has a `Bake Still` and `Bake Animation` mode.
* The Bake node doesn't do automatic caching.
Implementation details:
* Refactored how we create the Python operators for moving socket items so that it also
makes sense for non-zones.
* The `ModifierCache` stores an independent map of `SimulationNodeCache` and
`BakeNodeCache`, but both share a common data structure for the actually baked data.
* For baking, the `Bake` node is added as a side-effect-node in the modifier. This will make
sure that the node is baked even if it's currently not connected to the output.
* Had to add a new `DEG_id_tag_update_for_side_effect_request` function that is used
during baking. It's necessary because I want to evaluate the object again even though none
of its inputs changed. The reevaluation is necessary to create the baked data. Using
`DEG_id_tag_update` technically works as well, but has the problem that it also uses the
`DEG_UPDATE_SOURCE_USER_EDIT` flag which (rightly) invalidates simulation caches
which shouldn't happen here.
* Slightly refactored the timeline drawing so that it can also show the baked ranges of
Bake nodes. It does not show anything for baked nodes with a in Still mode though.
* The bake operator is refactored to bake a list of `NodeBakeRequest` which makes the
code easier to follow compared to the previous nested
`ObjectBakeData > ModifierBakeData > NodeBakeData` data structure.
* The bake operators are disabled when the .blend file is not yet saved. This is technically
only necessary when the bake path depends on the .blend file path but seems ok to force
the user anyway (otherwise the bake path may be lost as well if it's set explicitly).
* The same operators are used to bake and delete single bakes in `Bake` nodes and
`Simulation Zones`. On top of that, there are separate operators of baking and deleting all
simulation bakes (those ignore bake nodes).
* The `Bake` node remembers which inputs have been fields and thus may be baked as attributes.
For that it uses an `Is Attribute` flag on the socket item. This is needed because the baked data
may still contain attribute data, even if the inputs to the bake node are disconnected.
* Similar to simulation zones, the behavior of `Bake` nodes is passed into the geometry nodes
evaluation from the outside (from the modifier only currently). This is done by providing the
new `GeoNodesBakeParams` in `GeoNodesCallData` when executing geometry nodes.
Next Steps (mostly because they also involve simulations):
* Visualize nodes that have not been evaluated in the last evaluation.
* Fix issue with seemingly loosing baked data after undo.
* Improve error handling when baked data is not found.
* Show bake node in link drag search.
* Higher level tools for managing bakes.

This refactors `SocketValueVariant` with the following goals in mind:
* Support type erasure so that not all users of `SocketValueVariant` have
to know about all the types sockets can have.
* Move towards supporting "rainbow sockets" which are sockets whoose
type is only known at run-time.
* Reduce complexity when dealing with socket values in general. Previously,
one had to use `SocketValueVariantCPPType` a lot to manage uninitialized
memory. This is better abstracted away now.
One related change that I had to do that I didn't see coming at first was that
I had to refactor `set_default_remaining_outputs` because now the default value
of a `SocketValueVariant` would not contain any value. Previously, it was
initialized the zero-value of the template parameter. Similarly, I had to change
how implicit conversions are created, because comparing the `CPPType` of linked
sockets was not enough anymore to determine if a conversion is necessary.
We could potentially use `SocketValueVariant` for the remaining socket types in the
future as well. Not entirely sure if that helps yet. `SocketValueVariant` can easily be
adapted to make that work though. That would also justify the name
"SocketValueVariant" better.

Add an "Index Switch" node which is meant as a simpler version of
the "Menu Switch" from #113445 that doesn't allow naming items
or displaying them in a dropdown, but still allows choosing between
an arbitrary number of items, unlike the regular "Switch" node.
Even when the Menu Switch is included (which should be in the
same release as this), it may still be helpful to have explicit mapping
of indices, and a fair amount of the internals can be shared anyway.

The last good commit was 8474716abb.
After this commits from main were pushed to blender-v4.0-release. These are
being reverted.
Commits a4880576dc from to b26f176d1a that happend afterwards were meant for
4.0, and their contents is preserved.
Translation markers `N_()` were added to IDs' plural names in !113912.
I also renamed some of those because I thought there were only display
names.
This commit reverts the renaming, leaving only the addition of the
markers.

Extract:
- Sculpt filter types from the Sculpt menu. Some of these types use a
custom label, different from those defined in the operator RNA,
which was never extracted.
- "Today" and "Yesterday" from the file browser modification date.
- All name_plural from IDs, as these are used in the UI to list which
data block is to be removed, when calling outliner.orphans_purge.
Disambiguate:
- "Area", meaning the measurement of a surface as opposed to a place.

In 3.6 the names of node group sockets were using char arrays, but now
use allocated strings. The RNA system assigns nullptr to such strings
when assigning an empty string through python (UI assignment appears to
always generate a valid string). This creates issues with many STL
functions, in particular assigning nullptr to `std::string` will crash.
We have to check for valid pointers before using them in places that
don't handle nullptrs.
