Instead of crashing, an error message is displayed if a function of the gpu module is called without a GPU context.

GPUFrameBuffers were being free when no context was attached or in the
wrong gl context. This make sure this does not happen again.
You can now safely free any gl resource from any thread (well as long as
it's not used anymore!).
This is a dirty fix. A bit more cleaner approach would be to check if a
context is bound and delay the deletion only in this case.
Also we may want to do this orphan deletion at some other places than
wm_window_swap_buffers.
This allows for background rendering with EEVEE and other opengl render
engine.
I've only tested it on Linux for the moment so I can't say about other
platforms.
We do lazy init because we cannot assume we will need Ghost for rendering
before having parsed all arguments and we cannot know if a script will
trigger rendering. This is also because it currently does not work without
any display server (blender will crash).
Brecht authored this commit, but he gave me the honours to actually
do it. Here it goes; Blender Internal. Bye bye, you did great!
* Point density, voxel data, ocean, environment map textures were removed,
as these only worked within BI rendering. Note that the ocean modifier
and the Cycles point density shader node continue to work.
* Dynamic paint using material shading was removed, as this only worked
with BI. If we ever wanted to support this again probably it should go
through the baking API.
* GPU shader export through the Python API was removed. This only worked
for the old BI GLSL shaders, which no longer exists. Doing something
similar for Eevee would be significantly more complicated because it
uses a lot of multiplass rendering and logic outside the shader, it's
probably impractical.
* Collada material import / export code is mostly gone, as it only worked
for BI materials. We need to add Cycles / Eevee material support at some
point.
* The mesh noise operator was removed since it only worked with BI
material texture slots. A displacement modifier can be used instead.
* The delete texture paint slot operator was removed since it only worked
for BI material texture slots. Could be added back with node support.
* Not all legacy viewport features are supported in the new viewport, but
their code was removed. If we need to bring anything back we can look at
older git revisions.
* There is some legacy viewport code that I could not remove yet, and some
that I probably missed.
* Shader node execution code was left mostly intact, even though it is not
used anywhere now. We may eventually use this to replace the texture
nodes with Cycles / Eevee shader nodes.
* The Cycles Bake panel now includes settings for baking multires normal
and displacement maps. The underlying code needs to be merged properly,
and we plan to add back support for multires AO baking and add support
to Cycles baking for features like vertex color, displacement, and other
missing baking features.
* This commit removes DNA and the Python API for BI material, lamp, world
and scene settings. This breaks a lot of addons.
* There is more DNA that can be removed or renamed, where Cycles or Eevee
are reusing some old BI properties but the names are not really correct
anymore.
* Texture slots for materials, lamps and world were removed. They remain
for brushes, particles and freestyle linestyles.
* 'BLENDER_RENDER' remains in the COMPAT_ENGINES of UI panels. Cycles and
other renderers use this to find all panels to show, minus a few panels
that they have their own replacement for.
That was a nice and funny hunt, albeit rather time consumming!
To summarize, so far code was using a static global gpu_buffer for pbvh vbo drawing
of 'grid' types (multires mostly?).
There were two issues here:
1) Global gpu buffer was assigned to GPU_PBVH_Buffers->index_buf, but then nearly no
check was done when freeing that buffer, to ensure we were not freeing the global one
(not totally sure this one was actually causing any issue, but was bad and unsafe anyway).
Was solved by adding a flag to GPU_PBVH_Buffers to indicate when we are using some
'common' buffer here, which freeing is handled separately.
2) Main issue: if several multires objects in sculpt mode with different grid size
were present simultaneously, the global gpu buffer had to be resized for each object draw
(i.e., freed and re-allocated), but then the pbvh nodes from other objects storing freed reference
to that global buffer had no way to know that it had been freed, which was causing the segfault & crash.
Was solved by getting rid of that global buffer, and instead allocating one 'grid_commmon_gpu_buffer' per pbvh.
Told ya baby, globals are *PURE EVIL*!
Remove legacy code completely, now dyntopo, multires et al even work on
GL 1.1 for really hardcore users :p
Real purpose here though is to be able to have fast multires drawing
even with VBO off, since it requires using indices for vertex buffers.
Also made own code elf puke an eaten normal update function which
made multires not update normals in solid mode...sorry.
option.
This makes sense, since contexts get created at runtime, there is little
reason to require recompilation for this.
Only works on linux currently, will be doing more OSs later
patch number D706 with changes:
- WITH_GPU_DEBUG just creates a debug context (and enables the debug messaging
system functions) but leaves the checks we had intact. Old patch
added the debug functionality only if we had the flag on to save some
performance.
Rationale here is that we might not want to recompile blender just to get
the extra information, and having users start blender with a -d flag to
get the extra information is also useful for bug reports. Those checks already
existed and most expensive ones are hidden behind a debug mode check
so performance should not be that bad.
- Did some cleanup of existing functionality:
When things go wrong blender side, just print the error,
don't check for GL errors first.
- Did not port changes needed for GLES to regular glew.h
- Got rid of duplicate or very similar new functionality.
Generally, code is more moving things around/cleanup and should work exactly
as before apart from the debug context, so it's safe to add even now.
It also provides a nice substitute function for glu error descriptions
