The are few things in the dependency graph which lead to the issue:
- IDs are only built once.
- Object-data level (Armature, i,e,) builder dependent on the object
visibility.
This caused issues when an armature is first built as not directly
visible (via driver, i.e.) and then was built as a directly visible.
This did not update visibility flag on the node for the custom shape
object.
The idea behind the fix is to go away form passing object visibility
flag to the geometry-level builders and instead rely on the common
visibility flush post-processing to make sure certain objects are
fully visible when needed.
This is the safest minimal part of the change for 3.0 release which
acts as an additional way to ensure visibility. This means that it
might not be a complete fix (if some configuration was overseen) but
it should not make currently working cases to not work.
The fix should also make modifiers used on rigify widgets to work.
The more complete fix will have `is_object_visible` argument removed
from the geometry-level builder functions.

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".

Clearing the Parent Bone field in relations would result in something
like this:
```
add_relation(Bone Parent) - Could not find op_from
(ComponentKey(OBArmature, BONE))
add_relation(Bone Parent) - Failed, but op_to (ComponentKey(OBEmpty,
TRANSFORM)) was ok
ERROR (bke.object): /source/blender/blenkernel/intern\object.c:3330
ob_parbone: Object Empty with Bone parent: bone doesn't exist
```
Now skip creation of a depsgraph relation if the Parent Bone field is
empty (since this would be invalid anyways).

When the same stroke was used as a driver variable, this could make this
stroke already tagged as built in the course of building driver
variables (via `build_gpencil`), but then important stuff from
`build_object_data_geometry_datablock` could be missed later on (because
both of these funtions use `checkIsBuiltAndTag`). Most importantly,
setting up operations such as GEOMETRY_EVAL would be skipped entirely.
`build_object_data_geometry_datablock` seems to cover greasepencil just
fine (does the same as `build_gpencil` and more). Proposed solution is to
remove `build_gpencil` entirely. In `build_id` it would then also call
`build_object_data_geometry_datablock` for `ID_GD` IDs. Now the covered
types that _call_ `build_object_data_geometry_datablock` match exactly
to what is covered _inside_ `build_object_data_geometry_datablock`.
Think this "duplication" of functionality was just overseen in
rB66da2f537ae8 [`build_gpencil` existed long before and said commit made
greasepencil a real object with geometry and such].

We now use a for_each function with callback to iterate through all sequences in the scene.
This has the benefit that we now only loop over the sequences in the scene once.
Before we would loop over them twice and allocate memory to store temporary data.
The allocation of temporary data lead to unintentional memory leaks if the code used returns to exit out of the iteration loop.
The new for_each callback method doesn't allocate any temporary data and only iterates though all sequences once.

This patch exposes the Cycles Alembic Procedural through the MeshSequenceCache
modifier in order to use and test it from Blender.
To enable it, one has to switch the render feature set to experimental and
activate the Procedural in the modifier. An Alembic Procedural is then
created for each CacheFile from Blender set to use the Procedural, and each
Blender object having a MeshSequenceCache modifier is added to list of objects
of the right procedural.
The procedural's parameters derive from the CacheFile's properties which are
already exposed in the UI through the modifier, although more Cycles specific
options might be added in the future.
As there is currently no cache controls and since we load all the data at the
beginning of the render session, the procedural is only available during
viewport renders at the moment. When an Alembic procedural is rendered, data
from the archive are not read on the Blender side.
If a Cycles render is not active and the CacheFile is set to use the Cycles Procedural,
bounding boxes are used to display the objects in the scene as a signal that the
objects are not processed by Blender anymore. This is standard in other DCCs.
However this does not reduce the memory usage from Blender as the Alembic data
was already loaded either during an import or during a .blend file read.
This is mostly a hack to test the Cycles Alembic procedural until we have a
better Blender side mechanism for letting renderers load their own geometry,
which will be based on import and export settings on Collections (T68933).

This caused Cycles texture_space_mesh_modifier and panorama_dicing tests to
randomly fail.
The issue was introduced with D11377, due to a missing dependency. Now ensure
we first copy the texture space parameters, and only then use or recompute then.
In general it seems like this dependency should have already been there, since
parameter evaluation includes animation and drivers, and geometry evaluation
may depend on that (even if you would not typically animate e.g. an autosmooth
angle).
Thanks Campbell for tracking this one down.
This makes the internal naming consistent with the public API. And also gives
us a visibility_flag rather than restrictflag that can be extended with more
flags.
`POINT_CACHE_RESET` pointed to `GEOMETRY_EVAL_INIT` while
`GEOMETRY_EVAL_INIT` pointed to `POINT_CACHE_RESET`.
Now `POINT_CACHE_RESET` points to the same nodes pointed to by
`GEOMETRY_EVAL_INIT` thus avoiding the dependency cycle.
During a mesh transformation in edit mode (Move, Rotate...), only part of
the batch cache needs to be updated.
This commit allows only update only the drawn batches seen in
`BKE_object_data_eval_batch_cache_deform_tag` if the new
`ID_RECALC_GEOMETRY_DEFORM` flag is used.
This new flag is used in the transforms operation for edit-mesh and
results in 1.6x overall speedup in heavy subdiv cube.

The geometry nodes modifier uses id properties for the inputs to node groups.
That is because the set of properties changes depending on which geometry
node group is selected.
The animation was not updated correctly because the `ANIMATION_EVAL`
depsgraph node was not evaluated, because nothing depended on it in the
depsgraph. This patch makes sure that the proper link to the geometry
component is inserted.

Avoid computationally expensive copying operations
when only some settings have been modified.
This is done by adding support for updating parameters
without tagging for copy-on-write.
Currently only mesh data blocks are supported,
other data-blocks can be added individually.
This prepares for changing values such as edit-mesh auto-smooth angle
in edit-mode without duplicating all mesh-data.
The benefit will only be seen when the user interface no longer tags
all ID's for copy on write updates.
ID_RECALC_GEOMETRY_ALL_MODES has been added to support situations
where non edit-mode geometry is modified in edit-mode.
While this isn't something user are likely to do,
Python scripts may change the underlying mesh.

Would crash when adding or removing a collection directly to the master
collection of a scene.
Consequence of change to handle depsgraph-controlled evaluation of some
IDs (like excluded collections which do not get evaluated and do not get
a COW anymore). See rBcf4258673755 and D10907.
Note that this mostly demonstrates once again how weak and flacky our
handling of embedded IDs still remains, with some part of the code
handling them as independent IDs, some as fully local/private data, some
as a mix of both... and lots and lots of custom handling code and corner
cases that are a bottomless pit of issues.
Also quiet incredible that this was not reported already, luckily this
original change did not make it to 2.93 release.
Delay depsgraph visibility update tagging until it is known that
graph relations are up to date, and until it is known that the graph
is actually needed to be evaluated.

In addition to the base bone transformation itself, B-Bones have
controls that affect transformation of its segments. For rotation
the features are quite complete, allowing to both reorient the
Bezier handles via properties, and to control them using custom
handle bones. However for scaling there are two deficiencies.
First, there are only X and Y scale factors (actually X and Z),
while lengthwise all segments have the same scaling. The ease
option merely affects the shape of the curve, and does not cause
actual scaling.
Second, scaling can only be controlled via properties, thus
requiring up to 6 drivers per joint between B-Bones to transfer
scaling factors from the handle bone. This is very inefficient.
Finally, the Z channels are confusingly called Y.
This commit adds a B-Bone Y Scale channel and extra B-Bone flag
fields to DNA with appropriate versioning (including for F-Curves
and drivers) in preparation to addressing these limitations.
Functionality is not changed, so the new fields are not used
until the following commits.

Root of the issue was actually hidden deep in depsgraph itself: it would
not properly update all of its COW IDs using a datablock when depsgraph
decides to evaluate or un-evaluate it.
This would lead to evaluated IDs pointing to either:
- orig IDs when there was an evaluated version of those (annoying bug,
but not a crashing one).
- old address of previously evaluated IDs that no longer exists in the
depsgraph (causing the crash from the report e.g.).
This commit adds an extra step at the end of nodes building, that goes
over all of already existing IDs in the depsgraph to check whether they
do one of the two things above, and tag them for COW update if so.
NOTE: This only affects depsgraph (re-)building, not its evaluation.
This remains consistent with the fact that operations that may change
the depsgraph content (like Collection exclusion etc.) need to trigger a
rebuild.
NOTE: Performances: Worst case scenarii, like (un-)excluding a whole
character collection in a production file, lead to 5% to 10% extra
processing time in depsgraph building. Most of it comming from extra COW
processing (in depsgraph's update in `build_step_finalize`), the detection
loop itself only accounts for 1% to 2% of the whole building time.

The sockets are not exposed in any nodes yet.
They work similar to the Object/Collection sockets, which also
just reference a data block.
This is part of D11222.
This fixes T87666 and T83252.
The boolean modifier and geometry nodes can depend on the geometry
of an entire collection. Before, the modifiers had to manually create relations
to all the objects in the collection. This worked for the most part, but was
cumbersome and did not solve all issues. For example, the modifiers were not
properly updated when objects were added/removed from the referenced collection.
This commit introduces the concept of "collection geometry" in the depsgraph.
The geometry of a collection depends on the transforms and geometry of all
the objects in it. The boolean modifier and geometry nodes can now just depend
on the collection geometry instead of creating all the dependencies themselves.

This removes a lot of unnecessary code that is generated by
the compiler automatically.
In very few cases, a defaulted destructor in a .cc file is
still necessary, because of forward declarations in the header.
I removed some defaulted virtual destructors, because they are not
necessary, when the parent class has a virtual destructor already.
Defaulted constructors are only necessary when there is another
constructor, but the class should still be default constructible.

This adds the LineArt grease pencil modifier.
It takes objects or collections as input and generates various grease
pencil lines from these objects with the help of the active scene
camera. For example it can generate contour lines, intersection lines
and crease lines to name a few.
This is really useful as artists can then use 3D meshes to automatically
generate grease pencil lines for characters, enviroments or other
visualization purposes.
These lines can then be baked and edited as regular grease pencil lines.

Make the SHADING_PARAMETERS operation on node tree a real no-op.
The function used as a callback was only doing a debug print.
The issue with this function was that an original ID was passed
as an argument. This is a violation of design, and if anything it
should be left up to the implementation to check whether depsgraph
is active.
There are no functional changes for users in the interface. The
only difference is that the debug print will no longer happen.
This change removes copy-on-write operations from ID nodes which do not
need copy-on-write.
Should be no functional changes, as before the copy-on-write operation
would do nothing for those nodes anyway.
Building IDs which are not covered by copy-on-write process was not
implemented, which was causing parameters block not present, and, hence
causing crashes in areas which expected parameters to present.
First part of this change is related on making it so Copy-on-Write is
optional for ID nodes in the dependency graph.
Second part is related on using a generic builder for all ID types
which were not covered by Copy-on-Write before.
The final part is related on making it so build_id() is properly
handling ParticleSettings and Grease Pencil Data. Before they were not
covered there at all, and they need special handling because they do
have own build functions.
Not sure it worth trying to split those parts, as they are related to
each other and are not really possible to be tested standalone. Open
for a second opinion though.
Possible nut-tightening is to re-organize build_id() function so
that every branch does return and have an assert at the end, so that
missing ID type in the switch statement is easier to spot even when
using compilers which do not report missing switch cases.
As for question "why not use default" the answer is: to make it more
explicit and clear what is a decision when adding new ID types. We do
not want to quietly fall-back to a non-copy-on-write case for a newly
added ID types.
