Solved by introducing introducing a variant of MEM_cnew which behaves
as a copy-constructor for a trivial types.
Alternative approach would be to surround DNA structs with clang/gcc
diagnostics push/modify/pop so that implicitly defined constructors
and copy operators are allowed to access deprecated fields.
The downside of the DNA approach is that it will require some way to
easily apply diagnostics modifications to many structs, which is not
possible currently.
The newly added MEM_cnew has other good usecases, so is easiest to
use this route, at least for now.

Ref D14069
Initialization with `MEM_new()` depends a lot on the initialization rules
of C++, which are not obvious. Calling it with no arguments to be passed
to the constructor may cause the resulting object to be implicitly 0
initialized (or parts of it). This can have an impact on performance
sensitive code, so it's something to document.
Alternatively we could enforce default initialization (as opposed to the
value initalization that happens now), but this could cause
uninitialized memory in a way that isn't obvious either. This is a
possible source of bugs, so Jacques and I decided against it.
Using the `MEM_*` API from C++ code was a bit annoying:
* When converting C to C++ code, one often has to add a type cast on
returned `void *`. That leads to having the same type name three times
in the same line. This patch reduces the amount to two and removes the
`sizeof(...)` from the line.
* The existing alternative of using `OBJECT_GUARDED_NEW` looks a out
of place compared to other allocation methods. Sometimes
`MEM_CXX_CLASS_ALLOC_FUNCS` can be used when structs are defined
in C++ code. It doesn't look great but it's definitely better. The downside
is that it makes the name of the allocation less useful. That's because
the same name is used for all allocations of a type, independend of
where it is allocated.
This patch introduces three new functions: `MEM_new`, `MEM_cnew` and
`MEM_delete`. These cover the majority of use cases (array allocation is
not covered).
The `OBJECT_GUARDED_*` macros are removed because they are not
needed anymore.

- Nest compositor pages under the compositor module
- Nest GUI, DNA/RNA & externformats modules under Blender.
- Remove modules from intern which no longer exist.
- Add intern modules (atomic, eigen, glew-mx, libc_compat, locale,
numaapi, rigidbody, sky, utfconv).
- Use 'intern_' prefix for intern modules since some of the modules
use generic terms such as locale & atomic.
Add comment explaining `MEM_dupallocN` is NULL-safe, in that it returns
NULL when it receives a NULL pointer. This is currently true for both
implementations of the function (`MEM_lockfree_dupallocN` and
`MEM_guarded_dupallocN`), and will be expected of other implementations
as well.
No functional changes.
Previously the only way to use lockfree implementation was to start
executable and never switch to guarded allocator.
Surely, it is not possible to switch implementation once any allocation
did happen, but some tests are desired to test lock-free implementation
of the allocator. Those tests did not operate properly because the main
entry point of tests are forcing guarded allocator to help catching
bugs.
This change makes it possible for those tests to ensure they do operate
on lock-free implementation.
There is no functional changes here, preparing boilerplate for an
upcoming work on the allocator tests themselves.
This adds a new `--debug-exit-on-error` flag. When it is set, Blender
will abort with a non-zero exit code when there are internal errors.
Currently, "internal errors" includes memory leaks detected by
guardedalloc and error/fatal log entries in clog.
The new flag is passed to Blender in various places where automated
tests are run. Furthermore, the `--debug-memory` flag is used in tests,
because that makes the verbose output more useful, when dealing
with memory leaks.

The abbreviation 'init' is brief, unambiguous and already used
in thousands of places, also initialize is often accidentally
written with British spelling.
When definining static variables that own memory, you should
use the "construct on first use" idiom. Otherwise, you'll get
a warning when Blender exits.
More details are provided in D8354.

Previously this would be enabled when threads were used, but threads are now
basically always in use so there is no point. Further, this is only needed for
guarded allocation with --debug-memory which is not performance critical.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

This gives around 30% of speedup for gaussian blur node.
Pretty much straightforward implementation inside the node
itself, but needed to implement some additional things:
- Aligned malloc. It's needed to load data onto SSE registers
faster. based on the aligned_malloc() from Libmv with
some additional trickery going on to support arbitrary
alignment (this magic is needed because of MemHead).
In the practice only 16bit alignment is supported because
of the lack of aligned malloc with arbitrary alignment
for OSX. Not a bit deal for now because we need 16 bytes
alignment at this moment only. Could be tweaked further
later.
- Memory buffers in compositor are now aligned to 16 bytes.
Should be harmless for non-SSE cases too. just mentioning.

Release builds will now use lock-free allocator by
default without any internal locks happening.
MemHead is also reduces to as minimum as it's possible.
It still need to be size_t stored in a MemHead in order
to make us keep track on memory we're requesting from
the system, not memory which system is allocating. This
is probably also faster than using a malloc's usable
size function.
Lock-free guarded allocator will say you whether all
the blocks were freed, but wouldn't give you a list
of unfreed blocks list. To have such a list use a
--debug or --debug-memory command line arguments.
Debug builds does have the same behavior as release
builds. This is so tools like valgrind are not
screwed up by guarded allocator as they're currently
are.
