Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:
https://reuse.software/faq/
For example
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver()
{
}
```
becomes
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver() {}
```
Saves quite some vertical space, which is especially handy for
constructors.
Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/105594
Use a shorter/simpler license convention, stops the header taking so
much space.
Follow the SPDX license specification: https://spdx.org/licenses
- C/C++/objc/objc++
- Python
- Shell Scripts
- CMake, GNUmakefile
While most of the source tree has been included
- `./extern/` was left out.
- `./intern/cycles` & `./intern/atomic` are also excluded because they
use different header conventions.
doc/license/SPDX-license-identifiers.txt has been added to list SPDX all
used identifiers.

This replaces header include guards with `#pragma once`.
A couple of include guards are not removed yet (e.g. `__RNA_TYPES_H__`),
because they are used in other places.
This patch has been generated by P1561 followed by `make format`.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D8466
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.

There were two issues:
- Line visibility computations are very slow in the case of the provided .blend file, which gave
an impression that the rendering process got stuck. The slowness can be explained by the present
data structures used for the line visibility computations, together with the specific mesh distribution
of the test scene. At the moment Freestyle uses a regular grid in the 2D image coordinate system
to divide tris/quads into small groups in order to accelerate the line visibility computations.
On the other hand, the test scene is populated a big plane (made of one quad) and a moderately
detailed mesh object (22K tris). The scale of the latter mesh is animated from nearly zero to
about 0.2 to make the object show up over time. When the scale is nearly equal to zero, all the
tris concentrate in one grid cell, so essentially there is no performance gain from the grid data
structure optimized for speed. It looks like a better grid data structure (possibly based on
adaptive grid refinement) is necessary to genuinely address the identified performance issue. For now
the progress bar of Blender is employed to better inform users of the amount of work done in the line
visibility computations.
- A crash was caused by an excessive memory allocation request. The X and Y dimensions of the grid
data structure are determined based on the average area of mesh faces in the given scene. When the big
plane in the test scene is excluded from the rendering, the average area is almost zero (on the order
of 1e-5). As a result of this extremely small average area, the X and Y dimensions were set to a very
large number, causing a fatal memory allocation error. The present revision has introduced a hard
upper limit to the dimensions of the grid data structure to avoid this kind of numerical instability.
A crash in the Freestyle renderer was reported by Ton on IRC with a stack trace
below. Note that #2 is in Freestyle, whereas #1 is in the compositor. The problem
was observed in a debug build on OS X 10.7 (gcc 4.2, openmp disabled, no llvm).

Apparently a name conflict between the two Blender modules is taking place.
The present commit hence intends to address it by putting all the Freestyle C++
classes in the namespace 'Freestyle'. This revision will also prevent potential
name conflicts with other Blender modules in the future.
Special thanks to Lukas Toenne for the help with C++ namespace.
This commit is meant to improve the response of the ESC key for stopping Freestyle rendering
throughout the rendering process. The rendering with Freestyle consists of several steps
including: (1) mesh data loading, (2) winged edge construction, (3) silhouette edge detection,
(4) view map construction, and (5) stroke drawing. All these steps have been extended to
frequently check if the ESC key is pressed, so that users can abort time-consuming rendering
at any point of time.
