NDEBUG is part of the C standard and disables asserts. Only this will

DEBUG was a Blender specific define, that has now been removed.
_DEBUG is a Visual Studio define for builds in Debug configuration.
Blender defines this for all platforms. This is still used in a few
places in the draw code, and in external libraries Bullet and Mantaflow.

Automatic memory management and clearer ownership! Requires
removing `MEM_CXX_CLASS_ALLOC_FUNCS` from `MeshRuntime`,
but that's used very inconsistently anyway, and `MeshRuntime` isn't
that large.
The `EdgeHash` and `EdgeSet` data structures are designed specifically
as a hash of an order agnostic pair of integers. This specialization can
be achieved much more easily with the templated C++ data structures,
which gives improved performance, readability, and type safety.
This PR removes the older data structures and replaces their use with
`Map`, `Set`, or `VectorSet` depending on the situation. The changes
are mostly straightforward, but there are a few places where the old
API made the goals of the code confusing.
The last time these removed data structures were significantly changed,
they were already moving closer to the implementation of the newer
C++ data structures (aa63a87d37).

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.
Implements the rest of #101689, after 5e9ea9243b.
- `vdata` -> `vert_data`
- `edata` -> `edge_data`
- `pdata` -> `face_data`
- `ldata` -> `loop_data`
A deeper rename of `loop` to `corner` will be proposed as a next
step, and renaming `totvert` and `totedge` can be done separately.

Implements part of #101689.
The "poly" name was chosen to distinguish the `MLoop` + `MPoly`
combination from the `MFace` struct it replaced. Those two structures
persisted together for a long time, but nowadays `MPoly` is gone, and
`MFace` is only used in some legacy code like the particle system.
To avoid unnecessarily using a different term, increase consistency
with the UI and with BMesh, and generally make code a bit easier to
read, this commit replaces the `poly` term with `poly`. Most variables
that use the term are renamed too. `Mesh.totface` and `Mesh.fdata` now
have a `_legacy` suffix to reduce confusion. In a next step, `pdata`
can be renamed to `face_data` as well.

This formats code that is disabled using `#if 0`. Formatting was achieved
by temporarily changing `#if 0` to `#if 1 /*something*/`, then formatting,
and then changing it back to `#if 0`.
Split much of BKE_pbvh.h into BKE_pbvh_api.hh.
BKE_pbvh.h is included by BKE_paint.h, which in
turn is included by large amounts of code including
RNA.
This makes it extremely difficult to change
or clean up the PBVH API, since each modification
of BKE_pbvh.h can take 20-30 minutes to compile,
even on a quad-core system with an SSD. This
commit fixes that by moving most of BKE_pbvh.h
into another file and just having the core,
external-facing interfaces in BKE_pbvh.h.
Add a quaternion attribute type that will be used in combination with
rotation sockets for geometry nodes to give a more intuitive experience
and better performance when using rotations.
The most interesting part is probably the interpolation, the rest is
the same as the last attribute type addition, 988f23cec3.
We need to interpolate multiple values with different weights.
Based on Sybren's suggestion, this uses the `expmap` methods from
4805a54525 for that.
This also refactors `SimpleMixerWithAccumulationType` to use a
function rather than a cast to convert to the accumulation type.

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:

This type will be used to store mesh edges in #106638, but it could
be used for anything else too. This commit adds support for:
- The new type in the Python API
- Editing the type in the edit mode "Attribute Set" operator
- Rendering the type in EEVEE and Cycles for all geometry types
- Geometry nodes attribute interpolation and mixing
- Viewing the type in the spreadsheet and using row filters
The attribute uses the `blender::int2` type in most code, and
the `vec2i` DNA type in C code when necessary. The enum names
are based on `INT32_2D` for consistency with `INT8` and `INT32`.

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.
Use C++ types for more automatic memory management, simpler code,
and easier potential performance improvements. Also document each
item in the cache and access a named struct by pointer for the "poly
sorted" instead of using an identical unnamed struct.
When an object has no UV layers and an anonymous UV layer is created,
the anonymous layer gets set as the default (render) layer. This is
very confusing because it then uses a hidden anonmous layer. This patch
suppresses the usage of anonymous layers for rendering.

Refactoring mesh code, it has become clear that local cleanups and
simplifications are limited by the need to keep a C public API for
mesh functions. This change makes code more obvious and makes further
refactoring much easier.
- Add a new `BKE_mesh.hh` header for a C++ only mesh API
- Introduce a new `blender::bke::mesh` namespace, documented here:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Source/Objects/Mesh#Namespaces
- Move some functions to the new namespace, cleaning up their arguments
- Move code to `Array` and `float3` where necessary to use the new API
- Define existing inline mesh data access functions to the new header
- Keep some C API functions where necessary because of RNA
- Move all C++ files to use the new header, which includes the old one
In the future it may make sense to split up `BKE_mesh.hh` more, but for
now keeping the same name as the existing header keeps things simple.

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.

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.

Separate freeing and clearing mesh runtime data in a more obvious way.
This makes it easier to see what data is meant to be cleared on certain
changes, rather than conflating it with freeing all of the runtime
caches.
Also comment and reduce the surface area of the "mesh runtime" API.
The redundancy in some functions made it confusing which one should
be used, resulting in subtle bugs or unnecessary boilerplate code.
Also, now bke::MeshRuntime is able to free all the data it owns by
itself, which makes this area easier to reason about. That required
changing the interface of a few functions to avoid passing Mesh when
they really just dealt with some runtime struct.
With more RAII semantics in the future, more of this manual freeing
will become unnecessary.
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.

Turns out PBVH drawing and normal mesh batches are not mutually
exclusive inside the draw cache; there are edge cases with modifiers
and instancing where you need both, and forcing one or the other
inside this function leads to memory corruption.
This commit replaces the `Mesh_Runtime` struct embedded in `Mesh`
with `blender::bke::MeshRuntime`. This has quite a few benefits:
- It's possible to use C++ types like `std::mutex`, `Array`,
`BitVector`, etc. more easily
- Meshes saved in files are slightly smaller
- Copying and writing meshes is a bit more obvious without
clearing of runtime data, etc.
The first is by far the most important. It will allows us to avoid a
bunch of manual memory management boilerplate that is error-prone and
annoying. It should also simplify future CoW improvements for runtime
data.
This patch doesn't change anything besides changing `mesh.runtime.data`
to `mesh.runtime->data`. The cleanups above will happen separately.

This is the conventional way of dealing with unused arguments in C++,

Regex find and replace: `UNUSED\((\w+)\)` -> `/*$1*/`
Rewrite PBVH draw to allocate attributes into individual VBOs.
The old system tried to create a single VBO that could feed
every open viewport. This required uploading every color and
UV attribute to the viewport whether needed or not, often exceeding
the VBO limit.
This new system creates one VBO per attribute. Each attribute layout is
given its own GPU batch which is cached inside the owning PBVH node.
Notes:
* This is a full C++ rewrite. The old code is still there; ripping it out
can happen later.
* PBVH nodes now have a collection of batches, PBVHBatches, that keeps
track of all the batches inside the node.
* Batches are built exclusively from a list of attributes.
* Each attribute has its own VBO.
* Overlays, workbench and EEVEE can all have different attribute
layouts, each of which will get its own batch.

This adds support for showing geometry passed to the Viewer in the 3d
viewport (instead of just in the spreadsheet). The "viewer geometry"
bypasses the group output. So it is not necessary to change the final
output of the node group to be able to see the intermediate geometry.
**Activation and deactivation of a viewer node**
* A viewer node is activated by clicking on it.
* Ctrl+shift+click on any node/socket connects it to the viewer and
makes it active.
* Ctrl+shift+click in empty space deactivates the active viewer.
* When the active viewer is not visible anymore (e.g. another object
is selected, or the current node group is exit), it is deactivated.
* Clicking on the icon in the header of the Viewer node toggles whether
its active or not.
**Pinning**
* The spreadsheet still allows pinning the active viewer as before.
When pinned, the spreadsheet still references the viewer node even
when it becomes inactive.
* The viewport does not support pinning at the moment. It always shows
the active viewer.
**Attribute**
* When a field is linked to the second input of the viewer node it is
displayed as an overlay in the viewport.
* When possible the correct domain for the attribute is determined
automatically. This does not work in all cases. It falls back to the
face corner domain on meshes and the point domain on curves. When
necessary, the domain can be picked manually.
* The spreadsheet now only shows the "Viewer" column for the domain
that is selected in the Viewer node.
* Instance attributes are visualized as a constant color per instance.
**Viewport Options**
* The attribute overlay opacity can be controlled with the "Viewer Node"
setting in the overlays popover.
* A viewport can be configured not to show intermediate viewer-geometry
by disabling the "Viewer Node" option in the "View" menu.
**Implementation Details**
* The "spreadsheet context path" was generalized to a "viewer path" that
is used in more places now.
* The viewer node itself determines the attribute domain, evaluates the
field and stores the result in a `.viewer` attribute.
* A new "viewer attribute' overlay displays the data from the `.viewer`
attribute.
* The ground truth for the active viewer node is stored in the workspace
now. Node editors, spreadsheets and viewports retrieve the active
viewer from there unless they are pinned.
* The depsgraph object iterator has a new "viewer path" setting. When set,
the viewed geometry of the corresponding object is part of the iterator
instead of the final evaluated geometry.
* To support the instance attribute overlay `DupliObject` was extended
to contain the information necessary for drawing the overlay.
* The ctrl+shift+click operator has been refactored so that it can make
existing links to viewers active again.
* The auto-domain-detection in the Viewer node works by checking the
"preferred domain" for every field input. If there is not exactly one
preferred domain, the fallback is used.
Known limitations:
* Loose edges of meshes don't have the attribute overlay. This could be
added separately if necessary.
* Some attributes are hard to visualize as a color directly. For example,
the values might have to be normalized or some should be drawn as arrays.
For now, we encourage users to build node groups that generate appropriate
viewer-geometry. We might include some of that functionality in future versions.
Support for displaying attribute values as text in the viewport is planned as well.
* There seems to be an issue with the attribute overlay for pointclouds on
nvidia gpus, to be investigated.

* Flip the logic to first detect if we are dealing with an unmodified mesh
in editmode. And then if not, detect if we need a mapping or not.
* runtime.is_original is only valid for the bmesh wrapper. Rename it to clarify
that and only check it when the mesh is a bmesh wrapper.
* Remove MR_EXTRACT_MAPPED and instead check only for the existence of the
origindex arrays. Previously it would sometimes access those arrays without
MR_EXTRACT_MAPPED set, which according to a comment means they are invalid.

This fixes missing selection updates in UV editor, both with GPU subdivision
and with the Modified Edges display option for modifiers in general.
It also fixes the UV editor incorrectly showing the cage mesh with deformed
coordinates. These are not yet supported by the UV selection system.
Changes:
* Always read selection state from the editmesh when building batches. The
flags in the evaluated mesh can be outdated as selection bypasses depsgraph
evaluation for performance, and instead may just clear the batches.
* runtime.is_original is only valid for the bmesh wrapper. The check for
building the UV cage should only use that if the mesh is a bmesh wrapper.
* Don't create cage batches for objects whose mesh is in edit mode, but that
are not themselves in edit mode, there is no need.

This loosens the current implementation a bit to only force optimal
display when editing on cage. It used to be any editing mode.
Brings GPU based subdivision closer to the CPU version.
Previously there was a special extraction process for "vertex colors"
that copied the color data to the GPU with a special format. Instead,
this patch replaces this with use of the generic attribute extraction.
This reduces the number of code paths, allowing easier optimization
in the future.
To make it possible to use the generic extraction system for attributes
but also assign aliases for use by shaders, some changes are necessary.
First, the GPU material attribute can now store whether it actually refers
to the default color attribute, rather than a specific name. This replaces
the hack to use `CD_MCOL` in the color attribute shader node. Second,
the extraction code checks the names against the default and active
names and assigns aliases if the request corresponds to a special active
attribute. Finally, support for byte color attributes was added to the
generic attribute extraction.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D15205
Previously the attribute name was only stored in the request for curves.
Instead, pass it as part of the "add request" function, so that it is
always used. Since the whole attribute pipeline is name-based,
this can simplify code in a few places.
