The `object_to_world` and `world_to_object` matrices are set during
depsgraph evaluation, calculated from the object's animated location,
rotation, scale, parenting, and constraints. It's confusing and
unnecessary to store them with the original data in DNA.
This commit moves them to `ObjectRuntime` and moves the matrices to
use the C++ `float4x4` type, giving the potential for simplified code
using the C++ abstractions. The matrices are accessible with functions
on `Object` directly since they are used so commonly. Though for write
access, directly using the runtime struct is necessary.
The inverse `world_to_object` matrix is often calculated before it's
used, even though it's calculated as part of depsgraph evaluation.
Long term we might not want to store this in `ObjectRuntime` at all,
and just calculate it on demand. Or at least we should remove the
redundant calculations. That should be done separately though.

I added a new BLO_userdef_default.h header to contain declarations of
two global variables that are still defined in C files. Use of designated
initializers for large structs make those files harder to change.
Arguably this is a better header for them anyway.

Along with the 4.1 libraries upgrade, we are bumping the clang-format
version from 8-12 to 17. This affects quite a few files.
If not already the case, you may consider pointing your IDE to the
clang-format binary bundled with the Blender precompiled libraries.
USD: optionally author subdivision schema on export
This PR adds support for exporting USD assets which have the subdivision
schema applied. Current behavior prior to this PR is that the effects of
Subdivision Surface modifiers are always applied to their mesh prior to
export, such that it is not possible to recover the original base mesh.
In this PR we provide three options for the subdiv schema type:
Ignore - Export base mesh without subdivision with USD Scheme = None
Tessellate - Export subdivided mesh with USD Scheme = None
Best Match (default) - Export base mesh with USD Scheme = Catmull-Clark
"Best Match" here means that Blender will set a subdiv scheme type in
the exported USD asset when it is possible to closely match the
subdivision surface type that was authored in Blender. At this time
Blender provides two subdivision types: Catmull-Clark and Simple.
Because Simple does not have a corresponding subdivision type in USD, we
do not attempt to convert or represent it, and instead the Simple subdiv
modifier will be evaluated and applied to the mesh during export.
Whenever a Catmull-Clark Subdivision Surface modifier is applied to an
object, and is the last modifier in the stack, it is possible to set the
subdiv scheme to Catmull-Clark for the respective prim in the exported
USD file.

The hash tables and vector blenlib headers were pulling many more
headers than they actually need, including the C base math header,
our C string API header, and the StringRef header. All of this
potentially slows down compilation and polutes autocomplete
with unrelated information.
Also remove the `ListBase` constructor for `Vector`. It wasn't used
much, and making it easy to use `ListBase` isn't worth it for the
same reasons mentioned above.
It turns out a lot of files depended on indirect includes of
`BLI_string.h` and `BLI_listbase.h`, so those are fixed here.

This reverts commit 074dbf08cd.
This change caused PLY and OBJ tests not to compile,
even with the identifiers updated some OBJ tests fails
with different rotation values.
This helps to document standard behavior, improves type
safety, reduces code duplication, and gets us closer to being
able to remove some of the older C math API.
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.
Using ClangBuildAnalyzer on the whole Blender build, it was pointing
out that BLI_math.h is the heaviest "header hub" (i.e. non tiny file
that is included a lot).
However, there's very little (actually zero) source files in Blender
that need "all the math" (base, colors, vectors, matrices,
quaternions, intersection, interpolation, statistics, solvers and
time). A common use case is source files needing just vectors, or
just vectors & matrices, or just colors etc. Actually, 181 files
were including the whole math thing without needing it at all.
This change removes BLI_math.h completely, and instead in all the
places that need it, includes BLI_math_vector.h or BLI_math_color.h
and so on.
Change from that:
- BLI_math_color.h was included 1399 times -> now 408 (took 114.0sec
to parse -> now 36.3sec)
- BLI_simd.h 1403 -> 418 (109.7sec -> 34.9sec).
Full rebuild of Blender (Apple M1, Xcode, RelWithDebInfo) is not
affected much (342sec -> 334sec). Most of benefit would be when
someone's changing BLI_simd.h or BLI_math_color.h or similar files,
that now there's 3x fewer files result in a recompile.
Pull Request #110944
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/
Rename BLI_make_existing_file to BLI_file_ensure_parent_dir_exists.
The previous name read as if it would make (touch) the file,
where as it ensures the directory component of the path exists.
Move from BLI_path to BLI_fileops as path utilities should only
manipulate paths and not deal with file IO creation
(this has more in common with BLI_file_touch for e.g.).
Keep these operations separate to simplify path handling logic & docs.
Many callers passed NULL and there were times paths were passed in which
didn't make any sense (where the paths had already been made absolute).
For non-object parents (so bones & vertices), the parent is now also
explicitly checked for animation. In other words: having an animated
parent will cause the transform of the child to be written to Alembic/USD
on every frame (as if it is animated itself).
The goal is to solve confusion of the "All rights reserved" for licensing
code under an open-source license.
The phrase "All rights reserved" comes from a historical convention that
required this phrase for the copyright protection to apply. This convention
is no longer relevant.
However, even though the phrase has no meaning in establishing the copyright
it has not lost meaning in terms of licensing.
This change makes it so code under the Blender Foundation copyright does
not use "all rights reserved". This is also how the GPL license itself
states how to apply it to the source code:
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software ...
This change does not change copyright notice in cases when the copyright
is dual (BF and an author), or just an author of the code. It also does
mot change copyright which is inherited from NaN Holding BV as it needs
some further investigation about what is the proper way to handle it.
For example
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver()
{
}
```
becomes
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver() {}
```
Saves quite some vertical space, which is especially handy for
constructors.

The up_axis_update/forward_axis_update was the same logic between
the two, so factor that out.
Also use the same time reporting logic in PLY as in OBJ/USD/Alembic.
Motivation is to disambiguate on the naming level what the matrix
actually means. It is very easy to understand the meaning backwards,
especially since in Python the name goes the opposite way (it is
called `world_matrix` in the Python API).
It is important to disambiguate the naming without making developers
to look into the comment in the header file (which is also not super
clear either). Additionally, more clear naming facilitates the unit
verification (or, in this case, space validation) when reading an
expression.
This patch calls the matrix `object_to_world` which makes it clear
from the local code what is it exactly going on. This is only done
on DNA level, and a lot of local variables still follow the old
naming.
A DNA rename is setup in a way that there is no change on the file
level, so there should be no regressions at all.
The possibility is to add `_matrix` or `_mat` suffix to the name
to make it explicit that it is a matrix. Although, not sure if it
really helps the readability, or is it something redundant.

Using varargs had the disadvantages, replace with a macro which has
some advantages.
- Arguments are type checked.
- Less verbose.
- Unintended NULL arguments would silently terminate joining paths.
- Passing in a NULL argument warns with GCC.
Ensure the "null" node graph, which is the root node of the export
graph, always exists.
The crash occured when "Use Settings For" was set to Render, "Visible
Objects Only" was ticked, and a single parent object is in the scene but
disabled for render.
Because the only object attached to the root of the project was disabled
for export, there was no "null" root node added to the export graph.
This change will always add an empty "null" node with no children to the
graph at the start. Other objects will get added to its children as
required.

New OBJ exporter is missing "Path Mode" setting for exporting .mtl
files. The options that used to be available were: Auto, Absolute,
Relative, Match, Strip Path, Copy. All of them are important. The new
behavior (without any UI option to control it) curiously does not match
any of the previous setting. New behavior is like "Relative, but to the
source blender file, and not the destination export file".
Most of the previous logic was only present in Python based code
(bpy_extras.io_utils.path_reference and friends). The bulk of this
commit is porting that to C++.

Add support for volume (OpenVDB) USD export:
- Allows to export both static and animated volumes.
- Supports volumes that have OpenVDB data from files or are generated in
Blender with 'Mesh to Volume' modifier.
- For volumes that have generated data in Blender it also exports
corresponding .vdb files. Those files are saved in a new folder named
"volumes".
- Slightly changes the USD export UI panel. "Relative Texture Paths"
becomes "Relative Paths" (and has separate UI box) as the
functionality will now apply to both textures and volumes. Disabling
of this option due to "Materials" checkbox being turned off has been
removed.
