sycl::info::device::ext_intel_* descriptors are deprecated,
replaced with sycl::ext::intel::info::device:: that are available from
6.0+, for which we now check version in CMake.
Changing volume parameters during rendering could cause a crash
when guiding was enabled. It was due to an unintialized state paramter
at the beginning of the path tracing process.
In addition guiding is disabled when dealing with almost delta volumes
(i.e., g close to 1.0 or -1.0).
To avoid issues with install_deps. If we more generally switch to using
CMake configs then perhaps this code can be deduplicated again or at
least simplified.
Debug and Release libs are different libs on
Windows and will give linker errors when you
try to mix and match them.
This changes retrieves both libs and fills the
OPENPGL_LIBRARIES variable appropriately resolving
the linker error.
This adds path guiding features into Cycles by integrating Intel's Open Path
Guiding Library. It can be enabled in the Sampling > Path Guiding panel in the
render properties.
This feature helps reduce noise in scenes where finding a path to light is
difficult for regular path tracing.
The current implementation supports guiding directional sampling decisions on
surfaces, when the material contains a least one diffuse component, and in
volumes with isotropic and anisotropic Henyey-Greenstein phase functions.
On surfaces, the guided sampling decision is proportional to the product of
the incident radiance and the normal-oriented cosine lobe and in volumes it
is proportional to the product of the incident radiance and the phase function.
The incident radiance field of a scene is learned and updated during rendering
after each per-frame rendering iteration/progression.
At the moment, path guiding is only supported by the CPU backend. Support for
GPU backends will be added in future versions of OpenPGL.

This cleans up the OpenGL build flags and linking.
It additionally also removes some dead code.
One of these dead code paths is WITH_X11_ALPHA which actually never was
active even with the build flag on. The call to use this was never
called because the default initializer for GHOST was set to have it off
per default. Nothing called this function with a boolean value to enable it.
These cleanups are needed to support true headless OpenGL rendering.
Without these cleanups libepoxy will fail to load the correct OpenGL
Libraries as we have already linked them to the blender binary.

This patch adds a new Cycles device with similar functionality to the
existing GPU devices. Kernel compilation and runtime interaction happen
via oneAPI DPC++ compiler and SYCL API.
This implementation is primarly focusing on Intel® Arc™ GPUs and other
future Intel GPUs. The first supported drivers are 101.1660 on Windows
and 22.10.22597 on Linux.
The necessary tools for compilation are:
- A SYCL compiler such as oneAPI DPC++ compiler or
https://github.com/intel/llvm
- Intel® oneAPI Level Zero which is used for low level device queries:
https://github.com/oneapi-src/level-zero
- To optionally generate prebuilt graphics binaries: Intel® Graphics
Compiler All are included in Linux precompiled libraries on svn:
https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/lib The same goes for
Windows precompiled binaries but for the graphics compiler, available
as "Intel® Graphics Offline Compiler for OpenCL™ Code" from
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/tool/oneapi-standalone-components.html,
for which path can be set as OCLOC_INSTALL_DIR.
Being based on the open SYCL standard, this implementation could also be
extended to run on other compatible non-Intel hardware in the future.

Adds support for linking with some of the dependencies of a USD
build instead of the precompiled libraries from Blender, specifically
OpenSubdiv, OpenVDB and TBB. Other dependencies keep using the
precompiled libraries from Blender, since they are linked statically
anyway so it does't matter as much. Plus they have interdependencies
that are difficult to resolve when only using selected libraries from
the USD build and can't simply assume that USD was built with all
of them.
This patch also makes building the Hydra render delegate via the
standalone repository work and fixes various small issues I ran into
in general on Windows (e.g. the use of both fixed paths and
`find_package` did not seem to work correctly). Building both the
standalone Cycles application and the Hydra render delegate at the
same time is supported now as well (the paths in the USD plugin JSON
file are updated accordingly).
All that needs to be done now to build is to specify a `PXR_ROOT`
or `USD_ROOT` CMake variable pointing to the USD installation,
everything else is taken care of automatically (CMake targets are
loaded from the `pxrTargets.cmake` of USD and linked into the
render delegate and OpenSubdiv, OpenVDB and TBB are replaced
with those from USD when they exist).

GLUT does not support offscreen contexts, which is required for the new
display driver. So we use SDL instead. Note that this requires using a
system SDL package, the Blender precompiled SDL does not include the video
subsystem.
There is currently no text display support, instead info is printed to
the terminal. This would require adding an embedded font and GLSL shaders,
or using GUI library.
Another improvement to be made is supporting OpenColorIO display transforms,
right now we assume Rec.709 scene linear and display.
All OpenGL, GLEW and SDL code was move out of core cycles and into
app/opengl. This serves as a template for apps that want to integrate
Cycles interactive rendering, with a simple OpenGLDisplayDriver example.
In general this would be adapted to the graphics API and color management
used by the app.

After tests were bundled in a single executable and cycles and libmv

The reason is setting `*_LIBRARIES` to names of the libraries
and later using `link_directories` to link them properly.

Warnings like the following popup for every target/executable,
for every library it links to.
```
ld: warning: directory not found for option

The patch completes a step towards removing `link_directories` as
mentioned in TODO at several places.
The patch uses absolute paths to link libraries and removes
all `*_LIBPATH`s except `PYTHON_LIBPATH` from
`platform_apple.cmake` file. (The corner case where it's used seems
like dead code. Python is no longer shipped with that file structure.)
Also, unused code for LLVM-3.4 has been removed.
Also, guards to avoid searching libraries in system directories have
been added.

`cycles_link_directories`, and `link_directories`.

Caused by f04260d8c6.
Cycles' CMake defines macros with the same name as Blender, which
override the Blender ones. There's however a small difference in the
re-defined `remove_cc_flag()`, the Cycles version only takes one flag at
a time. So I guess Blender's calls to it would only result in the first
flag being removed.
Of course Cycles shouldn't override any Blender macros, but I'll leave
that up to Brecht to fix properly.

This change enables the developer option `WITH_CYCLES_NATIVE_ONLY`
for MSVC. This allows a developer to just build the cycles
CPU kernel for their specific system rather than all kernels,
speeding up development.
Other platforms have had this option for years, but MSVC lacks
the compiler switch to target the host architecture hence it
always build all kernels.
This change uses a small helper program to detect the required
flags.
Only AVX/AVX2 are tested, for the following reasons
- SSE2 is enabled by default and requires no flags
- SSE3/4 have no specific build flags for msvc

This is a more correct fix to the issue Brecht was fixing in D6600.
While the fix in that patch worked fine for linking it broke ASAN
runtime under some circumstances.
For example, `make full debug developer` would compile, but trying
to start blender will cause assert failure in ASAN (related on check
that ASAN is not running already).
Top-level idea: leave it to CMake to keep track of dependency graph.
The root of the issue comes to the fact that target like "blender" is
configured to use a lot of static libraries coming from Blender sources
and to use external static libraries. There is nothing which ensures
order between blender's and external libraries. Only order of blender
libraries is guaranteed.
It was possible that due to a cycle or other circumstances some of
blender libraries would have been passed to linker after libraries
it uses, causing linker errors.
For example, this order will likely fail:
libbf_blenfont.a libfreetype6.a libbf_blenfont.a
This change makes it so blender libraries are explicitly provided
their dependencies to an external libraries, which allows CMake to
ensure they are always linked against them.
General rule here: if bf_foo depends on an external library it is
to be provided to LIBS for bf_foo.
For example, if bf_blenkernel depends on opensubdiv then LIBS in
blenkernel's CMakeLists.txt is to include OPENSUBDIB_LIBRARIES.
The change is made based on searching for used include folders
such as OPENSUBDIV_INCLUDE_DIRS and adding corresponding libraries
to LIBS ion that CMakeLists.txt. Transitive dependencies are not
simplified by this approach, but I am not aware of any downside of
this: CMake should be smart enough to simplify them on its side.
And even if not, this shouldn't affect linking time.
Benefit of not relying on transitive dependencies is that build
system is more robust towards future changes. For example, if
bf_intern_opensubiv is no longer depends on OPENSUBDIV_LIBRARIES
and all such code is moved to bf_blenkernel this will not break
linking.
The not-so-trivial part is change to blender_add_lib (and its
version in Cycles). The complexity is caused by libraries being
provided as a single list argument which doesn't allow to use
different release and debug libraries on Windows. The idea is:
- Have every library prefixed as "optimized" or "debug" if
separation is needed (non-prefixed libraries will be considered
"generic").
- Loop through libraries passed to function and do simple parsing
which will look for "optimized" and "debug" words and specify
following library to corresponding category.
This isn't something particularly great. Alternative would be to
use target_link_libraries() directly, which sounds like more code
but which is more explicit and allows to have more flexibility
and control comparing to wrapper approach.
Tested the following configurations on Linux, macOS and Windows:
- make full debug developer
- make full release developer
- make lite debug developer
- make lite release developer
NOTE: Linux libraries needs to be compiled with D6641 applied,
otherwise, depending on configuration, it's possible to run into
duplicated zlib symbols error.

Use CMake's target_link_libraries instead of manually maintaining
library dependencies in a single list.
In practice adding new libraries often ended up being guess-work,
now each library lists the libraries it uses.
This was used for the game player executable so libraries
could optionally link to stubs.
If we need this functionality it can be done using target-properties
