Changes to overlay_shader.cc workaround a bug in GCC-12.2
(likely a duplicate of [0]). As the workaround involved removing
a local variable which most functions already didn't assign,
remove it for all functions.
An alternative is to add (otherwise redundant) parenthesis, e.g.
`&(e_data.sh_data[sh_cfg])`, but this would need to be noted in
code-comments, so opt for removing the intermediate variable.

Currently you can retrieve a mutable array from a const CustomData.
That makes code unsafe since the compiler can't check for correctness
itself. Fix that by introducing a separate function to retrieve mutable
arrays from CustomData. The new functions have the `_for_write`
suffix that make the code's intention clearer.
Because it makes retrieving write access an explicit step, this change
also makes proper copy-on-write possible for attributes.
Notes:
- The previous "duplicate referenced layer" functions are redundant
with retrieving layers with write access
- The custom data functions that give a specific index only have
`for_write` to simplify the API

Fixes T101175 Eevee displacement behavior changed
Move the `ME_SHARP` flag for mesh edges to a generic boolean
attribute. This will help allow changing mesh edges to just a pair
of integers, giving performance improvements. In the future it could
also give benefits for normal calculation, which could more easily
check if all or no edges are marked sharp, which is helpful considering
the plans in T93551.
The attribute is generally only allocated when it's necessary. When
leaving edit mode, it will only be created if an edge is marked sharp.
The data can be edited with geometry nodes just like a regular edge
domain boolean attribute.
The attribute is named `sharp_edge`, aiming to reflect the similar
`select_edge` naming and to allow a future `sharp_face` name in
a separate commit.

Currently the `MLoopUV` struct stores UV coordinates and flags related
to editing UV maps in the UV editor. This patch changes the coordinates
to use the generic 2D vector type, and moves the flags into three
separate boolean attributes. This follows the design in T95965, with
the ultimate intention of simplifying code and improving performance.
Importantly, the change allows exporters and renderers to use UVs
"touched" by geometry nodes, which only creates generic attributes.
It also allows geometry nodes to create "proper" UV maps from scratch,
though only with the Store Named Attribute node for now.
The new design considers any 2D vector attribute on the corner domain
to be a UV map. In the future, they might be distinguished from regular
2D vectors with attribute metadata, which may be helpful because they
are often interpolated differently.
Most of the code changes deal with passing around UV BMesh custom data
offsets and tracking the boolean "sublayers". The boolean layers are
use the following prefixes for attribute names: vert selection: `.vs.`,
edge selection: `.es.`, pinning: `.pn.`. Currently these are short to
avoid using up the maximum length of attribute names. To accommodate
for these 4 extra characters, the name length limit is enlarged to 68
bytes, while the maximum user settable name length is still 64 bytes.
Unfortunately Python/RNA API access to the UV flag data becomes slower.
Accessing the boolean layers directly is be better for performance in
general.
Like the other mesh SoA refactors, backward and forward compatibility
aren't affected, and won't be changed until 4.0. We pay for that by
making mesh reading and writing more expensive with conversions.
Resolves T85962
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D14365
**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

This refactors how devirtualization is done in general and how
multi-functions use it.
* The old `Devirtualizer` class has been removed in favor of a simpler
solution. It is also more general in the sense that it is not coupled
with `IndexMask` and `VArray`. Instead there is a function that has
inputs which control how different types are devirtualized. The
new implementation is currently less general with regard to the number
of parameters it supports. This can be changed in the future, but
does not seem necessary now and would make the code less obvious.
* Devirtualizers for different types are now defined in their respective
headers.
* The multi-function builder works with the `GVArray` stored in `MFParams`
directly now, instead of first converting it to a `VArray<T>`. This reduces
some constant overhead, which makes the multi-function slightly
faster. This is only noticable when very few elements are processed though.
No functional changes or performance regressions are expected.

This patch allows the realtime compositor to be limited to a specific
compositing region that is a subset of the full render region. In the
context of the viewport compositor, when the viewport is in camera view
and has a completely opaque passepartout, the compositing region will be
limited to the visible camera region.
On the user-level, this gives the user the ability to make the result of
the compositor invariant of the aspect ratio, shift, and zoom of the
viewport, making the result in the viewport identical to the final
render compositor assuming size relative operations.
It should be noted that compositing region is the *visible* camera
region, that is, the result of the intersection of the camera region and
the render region. So the user should be careful not to shift or zoom
the view such that the camera border extends outside of the viewport to
have the aforementioned benefits. While we could implement logic to fill
the areas outside of the render region with zeros in some cases, there
are many other ambiguous cases where such a solution wouldn't work,
including the problematic case where the user zooms in very close,
making the camera region much bigger than that of the render region.

Previously cloth self-collision and other code that wants self-overlap
data was using an ordinary BVH overlap utility function. This works,
but is suboptimal because it fails to take advantage of the fact that
it is comparing two identical trees.
The standard traversal for self-collision essentially devolves into
enumerating all elements of the tree, and then matching them to the
tree starting at the root. However, the tree itself naturally partitions
the space, so overlapping elements are likely to be mostly placed nearby
in the tree structure as well.
Instead, self-overlap can be computed by recursively computing ordinary
overlap between siblings within each subtree. This only considers each
pair of leaves once, and provides significantly better locality.
It also avoids outputting every overlap pair twice in different order.

Use the same `".selection"` attribute for both curve and point domains,
instead of a different name for each. The attribute can now have
either boolean or float type. Some tools create boolean selections.
Other tools create float selections. Some tools "upgrade" the attribute
from boolean to float.
Edit mode tools that create selections from scratch can create boolean
selections, but edit mode should generally be able to handle both
selection types. Sculpt mode should be able to read boolean selections,
but can also and write float values between zero and one.
Theoretically we could just always use floats to store selections,
but the type-agnosticism doesn't cost too much complexity given the
existing APIs for dealing with it, and being able to use booleans is
clearer in edit mode, and may allow future optimizations like more
efficient ways to store boolean attributes.
The attribute API is usually used directly for accessing the selection
attribute. We rely on implicit type conversion and domain interpolation
to simplify the rest of the code.

Remove the redundant option to disable selection in order to simplify
the tools and UI, both conceptually and internally.
It was possible to disable curves selection completely by clicking on
the active selection domain. However, that was redundant compared to
just selecting everything by pressing "A". The remaining potential use
could have been saving a selection for later, but that can be done with
more complete attribute editing tools in the future.
Global scope arrays can incur suboptimal per-shader-thread memory allocations, resulting in excessive usage of limited local memory resources. These changes ensure that any arrays are limited to the closest scope in which they are required and thus will get correctly optimized by the compiler.
A number of constants have also been replaced with Macro's as these can result in better runtime performance for complex shader code.

Attributes are unifying around a name-based API, and we would like to
be able to move away from CustomData in the future. This patch moves
the identification of active and fallback (render) color attributes
to strings on the mesh from flags on CustomDataLayer. This also
removes some ugliness used to retrieve these attributes and maintain
the active status.
The design is described more here: T98366
The patch keeps forward compatibility working until 4.0 with
the same method as the mesh struct of array refactors (T95965).
The strings are allowed to not correspond to an attribute, to allow
setting the active/default attribute independently of actually filling
its data. When applying a modifier, if the strings don't match an
attribute, they will be removed.
The realize instances / join node and join operator take the names from
the first / active input mesh. While other heuristics may be helpful
(and could be a future improvement), just using the first is simple
and predictable.

Editmode should display the original (non-evaluated) points unless there
is something like an "On Cage" option of a modifier [which none of the
curves modifiers have].
This was not the case since the introduction in rBe15320568a29.
So we now draw the editpoints from the original curves. This also means
that original and evaluated curves might not have the same number of
points, so we have to get independent of `proc_point_buf` since that
would possibly create vertexbuffers of different sizes (compared to the
original curves) which is not allowed for a single batch.
- remove the "pos" alias from the vertex buffer format of proc_point_buf
- instead, create a new "edit_points_pos" vertex buffer
- fill that with the original (un-evaluated) curves positions
- dont request `proc_point_buf` anymore
- rename the editpoints flags buffer to be more consistent
And since original and evaluated points might also be in completely
different positions, we also need to draw connecting lines between those
editpoints to not have them float in thin air. For drawing these in
editmode, a simple polyline was chosen (instead of drawing lines in a
resolution that is take from the old particle system -- which is not
depending on points even but has a hardcoded resolution that can only be
upped by the hair_subdiv scene render setting)
- create appropriate batch and indexbuffer for this
- positions vertex buffer can be reused
- reuse particle edit shader (instead of curve edi shader) to get
segment highlighting
{F14055436}
NOTE: this also removes the broken depth handling and instead makes it
work (also XRay is properly taken into account) by binding the correct
overlay framebuffer.
NOTE: to further clarify the distinction between curves drawing (that is
based on the old partice system drawing) and drawing in editmode, the
corresponding vertexbuffers have been moved out of CurvesEvalCache into
CurvesBatchCache directly.
NOTE: drawing the lines in editmode could be improved (taking the "real"
resolution of splines into account, but since this should happen on the
GPU in a compute shader, this is for later)
