Check if the man-page is missing or older than files that generate it
before re-running the generator.
Previously the install target would re-run the man-page generator
every time, even when no other changes to the build were detected.
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).
- Split out WM_init_splash_on_startup(..) which performs startup checks.
- WM_init_splash(..) now shows the splash (ignoring preferences).
- Avoid calling BLI_exists on an empty string (in some cases).
I cleaned up the cube brush tip code quite a bit; more remains
to be done. There is a new function to initialize cube
tip matrices, SCULPT_cube_tip_init. It's currently only
used by the paint brush, I'll need to do a bit of testing
before using it for clay strips and multiplane scrape.
Note: SCULPT_cube_tip_init uses the brush local matrix code
to avoid code duplication (and to take advantage of the debouncing
that is done there).
The assets are required to build proper Blender release, so they can not be
skipped from packing.
The packing ignores the `working` directory as it seems to be big and sounds
that it is not needed for the release.
The assets are bundled under the `release/datafiles/assets` folder in the
blender sources. This is where they will reside after switch to the Git LFS.

`PLATFORM_BUNDLED_LIBRARIES` was installing right next to the blender
executable rather than the `blender.shared` folder,
`PLATFORM_BUNDLED_LIBRARIES` wasn't used very much on windows, just
by the ONEAPI code which likely wasn't aware this plumbing was
still missing.
This diff adds support for using `PLATFORM_BUNDLED_LIBRARIES` on
windows in both debug and release configurations.
You can differentiate between a .dll being installed for debug/release
or all configurations, by prefixing the library with either `DEBUG`,
`RELEASE` or `All`, if no prefix is given `ALL` is assumed.

The renderdoc integration used to be behind the `--debug-gpu`
command line option. When using `--debug-gpu` outside renderdoc
error messages where displayed that aren't relevant.
This PR adds a specific command line option for the renderdoc
integration. This option will also enable `--debug-gpu`.

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.
Don't install libraries in blender.shared and don't generate manifest
as it's not working and not important to have a clean directory here.
Always detect MSVC_REDIST_DIR as it is used by oneAPI. The way
InstallRequiredSystemLibraries is called it already only sets some
variables and doesn't install anything by itself.

These are not really about reading or writing .blend files, they are
general utilities for file-names/paths. Having to link to the
blendloader library just for these utilities is annoying.
Moved them to `BKE_blendfile.h` now, in agreement with Bastien.

The shader libraries were not hooked up yet in cmake for windows since
when the shaderc libs landed there was no code yet that used it.
It's required now, so this change adds the missing bits.
This commit implements described in the #104573.
The goal is to fix the confusion of the submodule hashes change, which are not
ideal for any of the supported git-module configuration (they are either always
visible causing confusion, or silently staged and committed, also causing
confusion).
This commit replaces submodules with a checkout of addons and addons_contrib,
covered by the .gitignore, and locale and developer tools are moved to the
main repository.
This also changes the paths:
- /release/scripts are moved to the /scripts
- /source/tools are moved to the /tools
- /release/datafiles/locale is moved to /locale
This is done to avoid conflicts when using bisect, and also allow buildbot to
automatically "recover" wgen building older or newer branches/patches.
Running `make update` will initialize the local checkout to the changed
repository configuration.
Another aspect of the change is that the make update will support Github style
of remote organization (origin remote pointing to thy fork, upstream remote
pointing to the upstream blender/blender.git).

This better aligns with OSX/Linux warnings.
Although `__pragma(warning(suppress:4100))` is not the same as
`__attribute__((__unused__))` in gcc (which only affects the attribute
instead of the line), it still seems to be better to use it than to
hide the warning entirely.
This patch adds an "Essentials" asset library that is bundled with Blender.
Also see #103620. At build time, the `lib/assets/publish` folder is copied
to `datafiles/assets` in the build directory.
In the UI, the "Essentials" library can be accessed like other custom asset
libraries with the exception that assets from that library cannot be linked.
The immediate impact of this is that Blender now comes with some geometry
node groups for procedural hair grooming.
Pull Request #104474
Paths to vulkan libraries, paths and related components were
hardcoded in the platform cmake file. This patch separates
this by using adding CMake modules for Vulkan and ShaderC.
This change has only been applied to the macOs configuration as
that is currently our main platform for development. Other platforms
will be added during the development of the Vulkan back-end.
This makes it convenient to build blender without referencing
pre-compiled libraries which don't always work on newer Linux systems.
Previously I had to rename ../lib while creating the CMakeCache.txt
to ensure my systems libraries would be used.
This change ensures LIBDIR is undefined when WITH_LIBS_PRECOMPILED is
disabled, so any accidental use warns with CMake's `--warn-unused-vars`
argument is given.
There are dependencies between shared libraries, and Python modules which are
always installed on Linux and macOS can use these also.
Instead of adding logic for dealing with dependencies and conditional Python
module installs, just always install everything when using precompiled
libraries. This does not affect compile time which would be the main reason to
turn off build options, and it does not affect the case where system libraries
are used.
(MacOS) only: In the System tab of the user preferences the user has the
ability to select a GPU backend that Blender will use. After changing
the GPU backend setting, the user has to restart Blender before the
setting is used.
It was added to start collecting feedback on the Metal backend without
using the command lines.
By default Blender will select OpenGL as backend. When Metal is selected
(via `--gpu-backend metal` or via user preferences) OpenGL will be used as
fallback when the platform isn't capable of running Metal.
* Make it clearer that contrib isn't shipped with releases, by already excluding it in beta.
* Improve the UI by hiding the "Testing" enum item in these case.

Instead of the the same folder as the Blender executable, generate a manifest
that lets us move the libraries out of the way of users and into a separate
folder.
Ref T99618
Shared libraries and USD plugins will be placed in the same folder, where USD
already looks for plugins.
This means that specifying the path to the plugins will no longer be needed
once the new libraries are available for all platforms. For now the code was
refactored to support both cases.

This adds a vulkan backend to GHOST. The code was extracted from the
tmp-vulkan branch. The main difference with the original code is that
GHOST isn't responsible for fallback. For Metal backend there is already
an idea that the GPU module is responsible for the fallback, not the system.
For Blender we target Vulkan 1.2 at the time of this patch.
MoltenVK (needed to convert Vulkan calls to Metal) has been added as
a separate package.
This patch isn't useful for end-users, currently when starting blender with
`--gpu-backend vulkan` it would crash as the `VBBackend` doesn't initialize
the expected global structs in the GPU module.
Validated to be working on Windows and Apple. Linux still needs to be tested.

The launcher is designed to exit as soon as possible
so there's no useless processes idling. Now when steam
launches blender with the launcher, this breaks the
time tracking steam has as the thing it just started
exits within milliseconds.
There already is some code in the launcher that makes
the launcher linger to support background mode. This
patch extends this a bit to also wait if the parent
process is steam.exe

* Support bidirectional type lookups. E.g. finding the base type of a
field was supported, but not the other way around. This also removes
the todo in `get_vector_type`. To achieve this, types have to be
registered up-front.
* Separate `CPPType` from other "type traits". For example, previously
`ValueOrFieldCPPType` adds additional behavior on top of `CPPType`.
Previously, it was a subclass, now it just contains a reference to the
`CPPType` it corresponds to. This follows the composition-over-inheritance
idea. This makes it easier to have self-contained "type traits" without
having to put everything into `CPPType`.

This patch adds a placeholder for the vulkan backend.
When activated (`WITH_VULKAN_BACKEND=On` and `--gpu-backend vulkan`)
it might open a blender screen, but nothing should be visible as
none of the functions are implemented or otherwise crash on a nullptr.
This is expected as this is just a placeholder. The goal is to add shader compilation
+validation to this backend as one of the next steps so we can validate
changes to existing shaders on OpenGL, Metal and Vulkan at the same time.

Add command line argument to switch gpu backend. Add `--gpu-backend` option to
override the gpu backend selected by Blender.
Values for this option that will be available in releases for now are:
* opengl: Force blender to select OpenGL backend.
During development and depending on compile options additional values can exist:
* metal: Force Blender to select Metal backend.
When this option isn't provided the internal logic for GPU backend selection will be used.
Note that this is at the time of writing the same as always selecting the opengl backend.

These functions are almost identical, the main difference being
BLI_join_dirfile didn't trim existing slashes when joining paths
however this isn't an important difference that warrants a separate
function.
