An alternative fix to [0] which caused an error with ASAN
(freeing an GHOST_ISystem instead of a GHOST_System).
Reported by @Baardaap in chat, I'm unable to reproduce the issue.
Instead of calling the destructor directly, add a private method that
deletes data before raising an exception.

Use a consistent style for declaring the names of struct members
in their declarations. Note that this convention was already used in
many places but not everywhere.
Remove spaces around the text (matching commented arguments) with
the advantage that the the spell checking utility skips these terms.
Making it possible to extract & validate these comments automatically.
Also use struct names for `bAnimChannelType` & `bConstraintTypeInfo`

User notifications in Blender were always annoying and therefore by default turned off.
- When tweaking compositor/material tree a notification was shown.
- When rendering an animation for each frame a notification was shown.
The reason for this was that it was automatically shown when a background job was
finished and Blender wasn't the top most application.
In stead of migrating user notification to UserNotification.framework it was decided
to remove it for now. If in the future notifications should be added back we should
start with a design to figure out where notifications makes sense.

Cycles converts internal links to converter nodes which don't do anything and
later on get collapsed by the graph optimization. However, the previous code
assumed that one Blender input socket maps to one Cycles input socket.
When a node is muted, there might be internal links from one input to multiple
outputs. In Cycles, this meant that one Blender input socket now mapped to
multiple input sockets on all the converter nodes, so only the last one survived.
THe fix is simple, just make the mapping a MultiMap.
The problem here is that whether an object is a shadow catcher or not affects the
visibility flags, but changes to the shadow catcher property did not trigger a
visibility flag update.
With the GPU API the sampler can not be set after texture binding, which caused
a delay of the actual change. Now do both in a single call for correctness and
performance.
OpenGL is deprecated by Apple and triggers a warning when used. The goal
is that OpenGL is replaced by Metal backend, but we are not there yet.
To improve tracability of new warnings we hide deprecation warnings

NOTE: This change silences other deprecation warnings as well.
The T103586 fix effectively ran the wl_surface_listener.leave callback

Temporarily using the wrong window scale when disconnecting a monitor
on configurations that use different DPI per monitor is a minor enough
issue that I don't think it makes sense to workaround in GHOST.
Wayland requires the windows surface size is divisible by the surface
scale. This wasn't guaranteed when creating new temporary windows.
This meant opening the preferences could exit Blender with an error
with Hi-DPI configurations.
**Changes**
As described in T93602, this patch removes all use of the `MVert`
struct, replacing it with a generic named attribute with the name
`"position"`, consistent with other geometry types.
Variable names have been changed from `verts` to `positions`, to align
with the attribute name and the more generic design (positions are not
vertices, they are just an attribute stored on the point domain).
This change is made possible by previous commits that moved all other
data out of `MVert` to runtime data or other generic attributes. What
remains is mostly a simple type change. Though, the type still shows up
859 times, so the patch is quite large.
One compromise is that now `CD_MASK_BAREMESH` now contains
`CD_PROP_FLOAT3`. With the general move towards generic attributes
over custom data types, we are removing use of these type masks anyway.
**Benefits**
The most obvious benefit is reduced memory usage and the benefits
that brings in memory-bound situations. `float3` is only 3 bytes, in
comparison to `MVert` which was 4. When there are millions of vertices
this starts to matter more.
The other benefits come from using a more generic type. Instead of
writing algorithms specifically for `MVert`, code can just use arrays
of vectors. This will allow eliminating many temporary arrays or
wrappers used to extract positions.
Many possible improvements aren't implemented in this patch, though
I did switch simplify or remove the process of creating temporary
position arrays in a few places.
The design clarity that "positions are just another attribute" brings
allows removing explicit copying of vertices in some procedural
operations-- they are just processed like most other attributes.
**Performance**
This touches so many areas that it's hard to benchmark exhaustively,
but I observed some areas as examples.
* The mesh line node with 4 million count was 1.5x (8ms to 12ms) faster.
* The Spring splash screen went from ~4.3 to ~4.5 fps.
* The subdivision surface modifier/node was slightly faster
RNA access through Python may be slightly slower, since now we need
a name lookup instead of just a custom data type lookup for each index.
**Future Improvements**
* Remove uses of "vert_coords" functions:
* `BKE_mesh_vert_coords_alloc`
* `BKE_mesh_vert_coords_get`
* `BKE_mesh_vert_coords_apply{_with_mat4}`
* Remove more hidden copying of positions
* General simplification now possible in many areas
* Convert more code to C++ to use `float3` instead of `float[3]`
* Currently `reinterpret_cast` is used for those C-API functions

When rendering in the viewport (or probably on instanced objects, but I didn't
test that), emissive objects whose scale is negative give the wrong value on the
"backfacing" input when multiple sampling is enabled.
The underlying problem was a corner case in how normal transformation is handled,
which is generally a bit messy.
From what I can tell, the pattern appears to be:
- If you first transform vertices to world space and then compute the normal from
them (as triangle light samping, MNEE and light tree do), you need to flip
whenever the transform has negative scale regardless of whether the transform
has been applied
- If you compute the normal in object space and then transform it to world space
(as the regular shader_setup_from_ray path does), you only need to flip if the
transform was already applied and was negative
- If you get the normal from a local intersection result (as bevel and SSS do),
you only need to flip if the transform was already applied and was negative
- If you get the normal from vertex normals, you don't need to do anything since
the host-side code does the flip for you (arguably it'd be more consistent to
do this in the kernel as well, but meh, not worth the potential slowdown)
So, this patch fixes the logic in the triangle emission code.
Also, turns out that the MNEE code had the same problem and was also having
problems in the viewport on negative-scale objects, this is also fixed now.

The code that computes and inverts the shutter CDF had some issues that caused
the result to be asymmetric, this tweaks it to be more robust and produce
symmetric outputs for symmetric inputs.
At the first bounce, the diffuse/glossy/transmission weights are stored so that
contributions along the path can be split into the d/g/t indirect passes.
However, volume bounces always set the weight even at indirect bounces, so
even paths that had their first bounce on a purely glossy object would suddenly
start counting towards the diffuse indirect pass after a secondary volume bounce.
This was caused by rB0d73d5c1a2, which releases the scene mutex during kernel
loading. However, the reset mutex was still held, which can cause a deadlock
if another thread tries to reset the session, since it will acquire the
released scene mutex and then wait for the reset mutex.
Turns out there's no point in keeping the reset mutex locked after the delayed
reset section, so now we just release it earlier, which resolves the deadlock.
This breaks backwards compatibility some in that 3 sides will be mapped
differently now, but difficult to avoid and can be considered a bugfix.
Similar to rBdd8016f7081f.

This issue was introduced in rB78f28b55d39288926634d0cc.
The fix is to use a `std::shared_ptr` to ensure that the `Global` will live
long enough until all `Local` objects are destructed.
This patch adds a new "Kernel Optimization Level" dropdown menu to control Metal kernel specialisation. Currently this defaults to "full" optimisation, on the assumption that the changes proposed in D16371 will address usability concerns around app responsiveness and shader cache housekeeping.

All kernel specialisation is now performed in the background regardless of kernel type, meaning that the first render will be visible a few seconds sooner. The only exception is during benchmark warm up, in which case we wait for all kernels to be cached. When stopping a render, we call a new `cancel()` method on the device which causes any outstanding compilation work to be cancelled, and we destroy the device in a detached thread so that any stale queued compilations can be safely purged without blocking the UI for longer than necessary.

Both, the guarded and lockfree allocator, are keeping track of current
and peak memory usage. Even the lockfree allocator used to use a
global atomic variable for the memory usage. When multiple threads
use the allocator at the same time, this variable is highly contended.
This can result in significant slowdowns as presented in D16862.
While specific cases could always be optimized by reducing the number
of allocations, having this synchronization point in functions used by
almost every part of Blender is not great.
The solution is use thread-local memory counters which are only added
together when the memory usage is actually requested. For more details
see in-code comments and D16862.
