The optimization is done by removing the `len` member from the groups
and using fewer `for` loops.
But it's not a really impactful optimization.
Only 1.9% in the weld operation of a high poly mesh.
(disregarding getting the vertex map and all other operations on a
Blender frame).
The readability improvement comes from using more familiar types like
`int` and `int2` instead of `WeldGroup` and `WeldGroupEdge` structs.
In the merge_by_distance code, `vert_dest_map` is modified to become a
vertex group map. But this is not clear from the code.
Also use the `_map` suffix on `vert_final` and `edge_final`.
And remove some unnecessary variables.
When triangulating meshes, the UV unwrapper was previously using a
heuristic to split quads into triangles. If one of the internal angles
is greater than 180degrees, a so-called "reflex angle", the heuristic
was giving a poor choice of split.
Instead of using a special case for quads, this change routes everything
through the generic n-gon `BLI_polyfill_beautify` method instead.

When n-gons share vertices, their triangulation can be non-manifold,
even if the original mesh is manifold.
The UV Unwrapper does not currently work with non-manifold meshes.
This workaround attempts to modify the triangulation of n-gons in
the UV unwrapper to preserve the manifold property.
This change replaces the previous fix for quads, and extends it
to all n-gons.
See T84078 as motivation for this change.

a5e7657cee missed this call where clamped slicing is necessary.
The subdivision of a segment purposefully modifies the handle types of
the other side of the following control point, but that didn't work for
the final cyclic segment.
Point clouds are meant to use a default radius of 0.01 when there is no
radius attribute. The curve to points node can create curves without a
radius attribute. This affects joining and the realize instances node.
Similar to 30f244d96f.
a5e7657cee didn't account for slices of zero sizes, and the asserts
were slightly incorrect otherwise. Also, the change didn't apply to
`Span`, only `MutableSpan`, which was a mistake. This also adds "safe"
methods to `IndexMask`, and switches function calls where necessary.
As part of T95966, this patch moves loose edge information out of the
flag on each edge and into a new lazily calculated cache in mesh
runtime data. The number of loose edges is also cached, so further
processing can be skipped completely when there are no loose edges.
Previously the `ME_LOOSEEDGE` flag was updated on a "best effort"
basis. In order to be sure that it was correct, you had to be sure
to call `BKE_mesh_calc_edges_loose` first. Now the loose edge tag
is always correct. It also doesn't have to be calculated eagerly
in various places like the screw modifier where the complexity
wasn't worth the theoretical performance benefit.
The patch also adds a function to eagerly set the number of loose
edges to zero to avoid building the cache. This is used by various
primitive nodes, with the goal of improving drawing performance.
This results in a few ms shaved off extracting draw data for some
large meshes in my tests.
In the Python API, `MeshEdge.is_loose` is no longer editable.
No built-in addons set the value anyway. The upside is that
addons can be sure the data is correct based on the mesh.
**Tests**
There is one test failure in the Python OBJ exporter: `export_obj_cube`
that happens because of existing incorrect versioning. Opening the
file in master, all the edges were set to "loose", which is fixed
by this patch.

This separates the UV reverse sampling and the barycentric mixing of
the mesh attribute into separate multi-functions. This separates
concerns and allows for future de-duplication of the UV sampling
function if that is implemented as an optimization pass. That would
be helpful since it's the much more expensive operation.
This was simplified by returning the triangle index in the reverse
UV sampler rather than a pointer to the triangle, which required
passing a span of triangles separately in a few places.
Also, single point cyclic Catmull Rom curves aren't evaluated properly.
Cyclic is meant to make no difference in that case. Now they correctly
evaluate to a single point.
Adjusts behavior for trimming Bezier curves, specifically the outer
Bezier handles for the endpoints which do not influence the actual
curve. Handles are only adjusted if they lie within the same segment
with at most one endpoint being a control point (unless they are the
same in which handles are set to the point itself). The result yields
a curve in which the trim result can be inverted by re-setting the
cyclic property for the curve using 'Set Spline Cyclic' node
(iff both trim endpoints lie within a segment).

The conversion is only able to handle NURBS curves with at least three
points. This commit just avoids the crash for shorter curves. If this
ends up confusing users, an error message could be added in the future.
Correct trim for cyclical curves mentioned in T101379, splitting the
curves if the start/endpoint is at the 'loop point'.
Correct implementation based on comments in D14481, request was made to
use 'foreach_curve_by_type' to computing the point lookups.
Included corrections from D16066 as it may not be a adopted solution.
Exposed selection input by adding it as input to the node.
Note: This is disabled for 3.4 to avoid making UI changes in Bcon3.

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.

String attributes are intentionally not fully supported in geometry nodes
yet because more design work is necessary to decide how they should behave.
For now just disable handling string attributes to avoid crashes.
The node only created a material index attribute on the result mesh
if it existed on any of the input meshes. But the input meshes might
not have the attribute if they had a single material or no materials.
As a fix, also create the attribute if the result has more than one
material.
This makes instance handling more consistent with all the other geometry
component types. For example, `MeshComponent` contains a `Mesh *` and
now `InstancesComponent` has a `Instances *`.

This is the conventional way of dealing with unused arguments in C++,
since it works on all compilers.
Regex find and replace: `UNUSED\((\w+)\)` -> `/*$1*/`
Using the attribute name semantics from T97452, this patch moves the
selection status of mesh elements from the `SELECT` of vertices, and
edges, and the `ME_FACE_SEL` of faces to generic boolean attribute
Storing this data as generic attributes can significantly simplify and
improve code, as described in T95965.
The attributes are called `.select_vert`, `.select_edge`, and
`.select_poly`. The `.` prefix means they are "UI attributes",so they
still contain original data edited by users, but they aren't meant to
be accessed procedurally by the user in arbitrary situations. They are
also be hidden in the spreadsheet and the attribute list.
Until 4.0, the attributes are still written to and read from the mesh
in the old way, so neither forward nor backward compatibility are
affected. This means memory requirements will be increased by one byte
per element when selection is used. When the flags are removed
completely, requirements will decrease.
Further notes:
* The `MVert` flag is empty at runtime now, so it can be ignored.
* `BMesh` is unchanged, otherwise the change would be much larger.
* Many tests have slightly different results, since the selection
attribute uses more generic propagation. Previously you couldn't
really rely on edit mode selections being propagated procedurally.
Now it mostly works as expected.

This is very similar to D14077. There are two differences though.
First is that vertex creases are already stored in a separate layer,
and second is that we can now completely remove use of `Mesh.cd_flag`,
since that information is now inherent to whether the layers exist.
There are two functional differences here:
* Operators are used to add and remove layers instead of a property.
* The "crease" attribute can be created and removed by geometry nodes.
The second change should make various geometry nodes slightly faster,
since the "crease" attribute was always processed before. Creases are
now interpolated generically in the CustomData API too, which should
help maintain the values across edits better.
Meshes get an `edge_creases` RNA property like the existing vertex
property, to provide more efficient access to the data in Cycles.
One test failure is expected, where different rounding between float
the old char storage means that 5 additional points are scattered in
a geometry nodes test.
