With copy-on-write we can no longer assumes the point density data is
available after Cycles synchronization with Blender data is done. So
force it to be loaded earlier, even if it's not great for interactivity.
This way they can be init in their owner thread. Contexts should not be
shared accross threads. Once you make a context active on a thread it is
owned by the thread.
This commit only have the GLX backend updated but should not break orther
platform.
There is one legit place in the code where memcpy was used as an
optimization trick. Was needed for older version of GCC, but now
it should be re-evaluated and checked if it still helps to have
that trick.
In other places it's somewhat lazy programming to zero out all
object members. That is absolutely unsafe, at the moment when
less trivial class is used as a member in that object things
will break.
Other cases were using memcpy into an object which comes from
an external library. We don't control that object, and we can
not guarantee it will always be safe for such memory tricks
and debugging bugs caused by such low level access is far fun.
Ideally we need to use more proper C++, but needs to be done with
big care, including benchmarks of each change, For now do
annoying but simple cast to void*.
In C++ it is not really safe to memcpy objects, and newer GCC will warn
about this. However, we don't use our vector for unsafe-to-memcpy objects,
so just explicitly silence that warning.
All keyboard events were sending double key events (including modifiers)
when xinput was enabled with gnome (causing much confusion!).
I cant test if XIM works,
but this isn't useful to send double events, so disabling for now.
Not sure why exactly it is called a cleanup, the code was much more clear
and robust against possible missing return statements which are MANDATORY.
Missing return statement will:
- Cause two different BVH traversals to be run.
Not is happening currently, but if more BVH layouts are added, it will
become a problem.
- It is already causing assert() statements to fail, since functions are
no longer returning when they are supposed to.
If there is any measurable reason to keep this change, let me know.
Otherwise just stick to reliable/tested/robust code.
This reverts commit ba65f7093b.
In some heavy rigs matrix inverse can be 10% of computation time. This
reduces it to 2% by using Eigen's optimized 4x4 matrix inverse and SSE
matrix multiplication.
