BLI_array_store still performed poorly for boolean arrays or any arrays
where many memory chunks had identical contents since the temporary hash
had many collisions, making lookups slow.
Resolve by ensuring duplicate chunks aren't added to the hash table.
Also increase the memory chunk size for edit-mesh undo to 64kb
which performs well with high poly meshes as it reduces the overhead of
having to manage many small memory chunks.
Notes:
- Before this change performance was quite bad (10-20x worse than v3.3).
- Performance from the test in #105046 is roughly the same as before.
- Performance of #105205 compared with v3.3 is close, even faster at
times but varies much more (likely caused by threading).
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.
Pull Request: blender/blender#105416
Multiple user actions performed quickly could be blocked by undo
compacting memory - if the background compacting task was not complete
when the next undo step was pushed.
Notes:
- This and recent improvements to BLI_array_Store gives over ~2x speedup
compared with 3.3x, over 10x compared with 3.4x.
A sub-surfaced cube with the modifier applied was used for testing
(~1.5 million polys), both randomized & non-randomized verts/edge/faces
were used to avoid the sub-surface memory layout biasing the results.
Tested transforming ~1/3rd of the mesh and inverting selection.
- Without compacting mesh-data in parallel, the optimizations to
BLI_array_store can give similar performance to 3.3x, however there
are still cases where performance isn't quite as good - so compact the
arrays in parallel to ensure performance is at least as good as 3.3x.
Resolves#105046.
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.
