The crash is fixed by reverting 87fd798ae3 and
some follow up commits. While it would generally be nice to move to a more
SoA format for these things, we are not there yet and this is causing more
trouble than it's worth currently. The main difficulty is that the socket
indices are changed by many different operations which invalidates the array
too often and led to many follow up bugs.

A renaming of UI scale factors from names that imply a relationship to
monitor DPI to names that imply that they simply change "scale"
Pull Request: blender/blender#105750
Fix issues with the display of frame node labels, that made them
harder to read for people with low vision or on high dpi displays:
* Unclamp the size of text that is drawn in the frame node
so all sizes can be displayed consistently at all zoom levels
and independet of the UI scale.
* Account for the label when calculating the frame node's
bounds, so child nodes don't obscure the label.
Pull Request: blender/blender#104555
In order to properly translate UI messages, they sometimes need to be
disambiguated using translation contexts. Until now, node sockets had
no way to specify contexts and collisions occurred.
This commit adds a way to declare contexts for each socket using:
`.translation_context()`
If no context is specified, the default null context is used.
Pull Request #105195
When drawing text with multiple lines inside a frame node, depending
on the zoom level some lines would wrongly get clipped despite being
inside the clipping region.
This was caused by the clipping check in `blf_glyph_draw` not accounting
for the font’s aspect.
Pull Request #105389
Increase the buffer sizes used for `BLI_str_format_uint64_grouped` to

Nodes are sorted based on the selection. In some cases (even depending
on processor speed, nodes can be selected and reordered, and another
operation can run before the next redraw). That gives a window where
operators mapped to the same input as selection can run with invalid
socket locations (which aren't updated after the nodes are reordered,
since they are stored in a separate array).
To fix this, move the socket locations from the node editor runtime
data to the node tree, tag them as invalid when the nodes are
reordered, and check for that status in a few more places.
A better longer term solution is not reordering nodes based on
UI status and instead storing the UI drawing order separately.
Pull Request #104420
This was not done originally, because one had to iterate over all curves
to get the number of points which had some overhead. Now the number
of points is stored all the time anyway.
The reverse iteration added in e091291b5b didn't handle
the case where there are no nodes properly. Thanks to Iliya Katueshenock
for investigating this.
Socket declarations exist all the time and it would be useful to use
them for tooltips at all times, not just when there is a computed log.

Since internal links are only runtime data, we have the flexibility to
allocating every link individually. Instead we can store links directly
in the node runtime vector. This allows avoiding many small allocations
when copying and changing node trees.
In the future we could use a smaller type like a pair of sockets
instead of `bNodeLink` to save memory.

Socket locations are set while drawing the node tree in the editor.
They can always be recalculated this way based on the node position and
other factors. Storing them in the socket is misleading. Plus, ideally
sockets would be quite small to store, this helps us move in that
direction.
Now the socket locations are stored as runtime data of the node editor,
making use of the new node topology cache's `index_in_tree` function
to make a SoA layout possible.

This patch moves the realtime compositor out of experimental. See
T99210.
The first milestone is finished with regards to implementing most
essential nodes for single pass compositing. It is also now documented
in the manual and no major issues are known.

Finding the active view item button should only happen when it's actually
necessary, since looping through all buttons and blocks is an expensive
operation. This patch limits the search a bit more, to left clicks (the only
case that is actually handled).
This improves drawing performance in the node editor slightly,
where this was a bottleneck.

The main change is returning a socket pointer instead of using two
return arguments. Also use the topology cache instead of linked lists,
references over pointers, and slightly adjust whitespace.
Partly a cleanup, but also iterating over spans can be faster than
linked lists. Also rewrite the multi-input socket link counting
to avoid the need for a temporary map. Overall, on my setup the changes
save about 5% (3ms) when drawing a large node tree (the mouse house file).
Small memory allocations are a bottleneck when drawing large node trees.
Avoid them by passing the socket index in the whole tree and getting the
tree from the context rather than allocating structs for the tree, node,
and socket. The performance improvement will be a few percent at most.
When these declarations are built without the help of the special
builder class, it's much more convenient to set them directly rather
than with a constructor, etc. In most other situations the declarations
should be const anyway, so theoretically this doesn't affect safety too
much. Most construction of declarations should still use the builder.
Geometry nodes used to log all socket values during evaluation.
This allowed the user to hover over any socket (that was evaluated)
to see its last value. The problem is that in large (nested) node trees,
the number of sockets becomes huge, causing a lot of performance
and memory overhead (in extreme cases, more than 70% of the
total execution time).
This patch changes it so, that only socket values are logged that the
user is likely to investigate. The simple heuristic is that socket values
of the currently visible node tree are logged.
The downside is that when the user changes the visible node tree, it
won't have any logged values until it is reevaluated. I updated the
tooltip message for that case to be a bit more precise.
If user feedback suggests that this new behavior is too annoying, we
can always add a UI option to log all socket values again. That shouldn't
be done without an actual need though because it takes up UI space.

Add `bNode::index()` to allow accessing node indices directly without
manually de-referencing the runtime struct. Also adds some asserts to
make sure the access is valid and to check the nodes runtime vector.
Eagerly maintain the node's index in the tree so it can be accessed
without relying on the topology cache.

90ea1b7643 broke the sorting that happens as nodes are selected.
The compare function for stable sort had different requirements than
the previous implementation.
This patch adds an integer identifier to nodes that doesn't change when
the node name changes. This identifier can be used by different systems
to reference a node. This may be important to store caches and simulation
states per node, because otherwise those would always be invalidated
when a node name changes.
Additionally, this kind of identifier could make some things more efficient,
because with it an integer is enough to identify a node and one does not
have to store the node name.
I observed a 10% improvement in evaluation time in a file with an extreme
number of simple math nodes, due to reduced logging overhead-- from
0.226s to 0.205s.

* This patch just moves runtime data to the runtime struct to cleanup
the dna struct. Arguably, some of this data should not even be there
because it's very use case specific. This can be cleaned up separately.
* `miniwidth` was removed completely, because it was not used anywhere.
The corresponding rna property `width_hidden` is kept to avoid
script breakage, but does not do anything (e.g. node wrangler sets it).
* Since rna is in C, some helper functions where added to access the
C++ runtime data from rna.
* This size of `bNode` decreases from 432 to 368 bytes.
The number of node groups was including the fake user count.
I was ignoring the Fake User, and how it affects the id->us count.
This problem was present since the initial commit: 84825e4ed2.
Adds the possibility of having a little number on top of icons.
At the moment this is used for:
* Outliner
* Node Editor bread-crumb
* Node Group node header
For the outliner there is almost no functional change. It is mostly a refactor
to handle the indicators as part of the icon shader instead of the outliner
draw code. (note that this was already recently changed in a5d3b648e3).
The difference is that now we use rounded border rectangle instead of
circles, and we can go up to 999 elements.
So for the outliner this shows the number of collapsed elements of a
certain type (e.g., mesh objects inside a collapsed collection).
For the node editors is being used to show the use count for the data-block.
This is important for the node editor, so users know whether the node-group
they are editing (or are about to edit) is used elsewhere. This is
particularly important when the Node Options are hidden, which is the
default for node groups appended from the asset libraries.

Note: This can be easily enabled for ID templates which can then be part
of T84669. It just need to call UI_but_icon_indicator_number_set in the
function template_add_button_search_menu.
