Make `BLI_path_contains()` case-insensitive on Windows. This behaviour
is dependent on the platform Blender is running on, like the rest of
BLI_path, and not on the style of paths (Windows-style paths will be
treated case-sensitively when Blender is running on Linux/macOS).
Add function `BLI_path_contains(container, containee)` that returns true
if and only `container` contains `containee`.
Paths are normalised and converted to native path separators before
comparing. Relative paths are *not* made absolute, to simplify the
function call; if this is necessary the caller has to do this conversion
first.
This commit adds a node that generates a text paragraph as curve
instances. The inputs on the node control the overall shape of the
paragraph, and other nodes can be used to move the individual instances
afterwards. To output more than one line, the "Special Characters" node
can be used.
The node outputs instances instead of real geometry so that it doesn't
have to duplicate work for every character afterwards. This is much
more efficient, because all of the curve evaluation and nodes like fill
curve don't have to repeat the same calculation for every instance of
the same character.
In the future, the instances component will support attributes, and the
node can output attribute fields like "Word Index" and "Line Index".

Add `operator<` to C++ class to allow lexicographic ordering of UUIDs.
This will be necessary when writing asset catalogs to disk in a predictable
(i.e. ordered) manner.
Put the `bUUID` class in the `blender` namespace, instead of the
`blender::bke` namespace.
As a result, some C++ code now correctly uses the C++ class, where
previously it would use the C struct and use implicit casting where
necessary. As a result, support for initializer lists had to be
explicitly coded and in another place an explicit `::bUUID` was
necessary to avoid ambiguity.
Catalogs work like directories on disk (without hard-/symlinks), in that
an asset is only contained in one catalog.
See T90066 for design considerations.
#### Known Limitations
Only a single catalog definition file (CDF), is supported, at
`${ASSET_LIBRARY_ROOT}/blender_assets.cats.txt`. In the future this is
to be expanded to support arbitrary CDFs (like one per blend file, one
per subdirectory, etc.).
The current implementation is based on the asset browser, which in
practice means that the asset browser owns the `AssetCatalogService`
instance for the selected asset library. In the future these instances
will be accessible via a less UI-bound asset system.
The UI is still very rudimentary, only showing the catalog ID for the
currently selected asset. Most notably, the loaded catalogs are not
shown yet. The UI is being implemented and will be merged soon.
#### Catalog Identifiers
Catalogs are internally identified by UUID. In older designs this was a
human-readable name, which has the problem that it has to be kept in
sync with its semantics (so when renaming a catalog from X to Y, the
UUID can be kept the same).
Since UUIDs don't communicate any human-readable information, the
mapping from catalog UUID to its path (stored in the Catalog Definition
File, CDF) is critical for understanding which asset is stored in which
human-readable catalog. To make this less critical, and to allow manual
data reconstruction after a CDF is lost/corrupted, each catalog also has
a "simple name" that's stored along with the UUID. This is also stored
on each asset, next to the catalog UUID.
#### Writing to Disk
Before saving asset catalogs to disk, the to-be-overwritten file gets
inspected. Any new catalogs that are found thre are loaded to memory
before writing the catalogs back to disk:
- Changed catalog path: in-memory data wins
- Catalogs deleted on disk: they are recreated based on in-memory data
- Catalogs deleted in memory: deleted on disk as well
- New catalogs on disk: are loaded and thus survive the overwriting
#### Tree Design
This implements the initial tree structure to load catalogs into. See
T90608, and the basic design in T90066.

Make the Windows version of `BLI_dir_create_recursive()` call
`BLI_path_slash_native()` before it tries to handle the path. This
should make it possible to call it with non-native path separators.
This change was provided by our Windows platform maintainer @LazyDodo in
P2414, so I assume he agrees with this change.
Rename the `UUID` struct to `bUUID`. This avoids a symbol clash on
Windows, which also defines `UUID`. This only pops up when a `UUID`
field is used in the DNA code, which is why it wasn't a problem before
(it will be once D12589 lands).
No functional changes.
This nodes evaluates a field on a geometry and outputs various
statistics about the entire data set, like min, max, or even
the standard deviation. It works for float and vector types currently,
though more types could be supported in the future.
- All statistics are calculated element-wise for vectors.
- "Product" was not added since the result could very easily overflow.
- The "Size" output was not added since it isn't specific to an
attribute and would fit better in another node.
The implementation shares work as much as possible when multiple
statistics are needed.
This node has been in development since the beginning of this year,
with additions from Johnny Matthews and Hans Goudey.

"iff" was intended as "if and only if". while exact use of abbreviations
isn't clear cut, I assumed this was a typo & it's not used anywhere
else in source/, expand to "only if" (suggested by Sybren).
On Apple machines, call `clock_gettime()` instead of `timespec_get()`.
macOS only introduced `timespec_get()` in version 10.15 (introduced
approx two years ago, so in 2019), even though the function is from C11.
XOR the 'seconds' and 'nanoseconds' fields of the current time to seed the
RNG used for generating random UUIDs. This ensures a better seed just in
case the clock as no sub-second resolution.
Add `BLI_uuid` and `DNA_uuid_types.h` with a UUID implementation
following RFC4122 (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4122.html).
The following features are implemented:
- A struct of 128 bits that can be used in DNA definitions.
- Generation of version 4 UUIDs, that is, purely random ones.
- UUID equality function.
- String to UUID and UUID to string conversion functions that are
compatible with RFC4122.
- C++ stream operator that outputs the UUID as string.
This UUID will be used by the asset system, to uniquely identify asset
catalogs.

Add a method that allows a MutableSpan to reverse itself. This reverses
the data in the original span object. This is a first step in extracting
some functionality from nodes and making it more general.

This adds a new `ParallelMultiFunction` which wraps another multi-function
and evaluates it with multiple threads. The speeds up field evaluation
quite a bit (the effect is most noticeable when the number of evaluations
and the field is large).
There are still other single-threaded performance bottlenecks in field
evaluation that will need to be solved separately. Most notably here
is the process of copying the computed data into the position attribute
in the Set Position node.

Previously, a debug name had to be passed to all methods
that added a resource to the `ResourceScope`. The idea was
that this would make it easier to find certain bugs. In reality
I never found this to be useful, and it was mostly annoying.
The thing is, something that is in a resource scope never leaks
(unless the resource scope is not destructed of course).
Removing the name parameter makes the structure easier to use.
Sometimes not all outputs of a multi-function are required by the
caller. In those cases it would be a waste of compute resources
to calculate the unused values anyway. Now, the caller of a
multi-function can specify when a specific output is not used.
The called function can check if an output is unused and may
ignore it. Multi-functions can still computed unused outputs as
before if they don't want to check if a specific output is unused.
The multi-function procedure system has been updated to support
ignored outputs in call instructions. An ignored output just has no
variable assigned to it.
The field system has been updated to generate a multi-function
procedure where unused outputs are ignored.
Refactor of our Vfont check for font validity.

This patch adds new Perlin noise functions to BLI. The noises are compatible
with the shading texture noises in EEVEE, SVM, and OSL.
The existing Jenkins hash functions couldn't be used because they are not
compatible with the shading implementations and an attempt at adjusting the
implementation will break compatibility in various areas of Blender. So the
simplest approach is to reimplement the relevant hashing functions inside the
noise module itself.
Additionally, this patch also adds a minimal float4 structure to use in the
interface of the noise functions.

Previously, the Point Instance node in geometry nodes could only instance
existing objects or collections. The reason was that large parts of Blender
worked under the assumption that objects are the main unit of instancing.
Now we also want to instance geometry within an object, so a slightly larger
refactor was necessary.
This should not affect files that do not use the new kind of instances.
The main change is a redefinition of what "instanced data" is. Now, an
instances is a cow-object + object-data (the geometry). This can be nicely
seen in `struct DupliObject`. This allows the same object to generate
multiple geometries of different types which can be instanced individually.
A nice side effect of this refactor is that having multiple geometry components
is not a special case in the depsgraph object iterator anymore, because those
components are integrated with the `DupliObject` system.
Unfortunately, different systems that work with instances in Blender (e.g.
render engines and exporters) often work under the assumption that objects are
the main unit of instancing. So those have to be updated as well to be able to
handle the new instances. This patch updates Cycles, EEVEE and other viewport
engines. Exporters have not been updated yet. Some minimal (not master-ready)
changes to update the obj and alembic exporters can be found in P2336 and P2335.
Different file formats may want to handle these new instances in different ways.
For users, the only thing that changed is that the Point Instance node now
has a geometry mode.
This also fixes T88454.

Support extracting identifiers RNA paths into fixed size buffer
since the maximum size of the identifier is known all cases.
- Add BLI_str_unescape_ex to support limiting the destination buffer.
- Add BLI_str_quoted_substr to copy values into a fixed size buffer.
This is a similar funciton to BLI_str_quoted_substrN
that extracts the range of the quoted string
instead of allocating a new string un-escaped string.
This function was documented to return the length but returned an
error value for WIN32. While this doesn't cause any bugs at the moment,
it could cause problems in the future.
Oversight in 5496d8cd36.
Besides helping to avoid buffer overflow errors this reduces complexity
of BLI_str_utf32_as_utf8 which needed a special loop for the last 6
characters to avoid writing past the buffer bounds.
Also add BLI_str_utf8_from_unicode_len which only returns the length.
