This patch implements the Texture node for the realtime compositor. The
evaluation of the texture is not GPU accelerated, but is cached as a
form of temporary implementation since the Texture node is deprecated
and will be removed in the future. Furthermore, texture node evaluation
is not supported for now.
This patch also introduces the concept of an ID static cache, which
uses the DrawDataList mechanism to invalidate the cache as needed,
consequently, a DrawDataList was added to the Tex ID structure.
An improvement that should be implemented outside of this patch is to
implement support for proxy textures in results to avoid redundant
copies in the execute method of the texture node. This should be
straightforward bit will be implemented in a separate patch.

Fixes a warning on GCC 13 about `uint` being used in the declaration and
the proper enum type `eDupli_ID_Flags` being used in the definition for
`BKE_id_copy_for_duplicate`.
The coarse positions given to the evaluator are skipped if there are
vertices not attached to faces. Use the cache from 8e967cfeaf
to skip that topology query, or even to tell if there are no such vertices,
so we can skip a copy completely. I observed a 12x improvement for this
step, from 7.5 ms to 0.6 ms on a 1 million vertex grid.
When pressing F3 to bring up the Search Menu, an error appeared
because the MoveModifierToNodes operator's poll method did not

Code was not handling properly the case where the new object that should
replace the old one in given collection is already in the collection. In
such case, remove the old object from the collection, but do not attempt
to add the new one again.
The String to Curves node allows selecting various metrics for the
characters. Size is the absolute height between two lines, and is
correctly marked as a distance. Character, Word and Line Spacing, on
the other hand, do not represent any distance, but are proportional to
the base size and should not have distance units.
This commit simply removes the properties' `PROP_DISTANCE` subtype.

Remove micro optimization that seeks to reuse the active center
alculation.
This operation is lightweight and reusing its result only adds an
unnecessary dependency.
libdecor is not a hard requirement, so only fail the configure phase if
the building in strict mode.
This makes it behave like most other dependencies in Blender.

Fix#107297: Crash on undoing "Use Nodes" step.
Fix (unreported) crash on undoing certain type of data deletion (like
collections) in some specific cases.
Main serious issues were in new handling of embedded IDs in ID swap code
(#107297), and in general in lib_query remapping code from
`BKE_lib_id_swap_full` in readfile code in undo case which could access
other IDs data, when it is not guaranteed to be valid at this point in
code.
Added an option flag to lib_query code to forbid access to the original
ID pointers in such cases.
Load the device capabilities into the context. This makes sure
that GPU framework already takes care of the capabilities.

Currently window manager always tried to create an OpenGL context.
This is incorrect and will fail when using Vulkan. Somehow this
doesn't fail for Metal.
This PR creates a context based on the current selected backend.
Pull Request: blender/blender#107301
Apparently we always constructed a Vulkan 1.0 Context, although we
are targetting Vulkan 1.2. This also lead to incorrect expectations
when using the Vulkan Memory allocator.

This patch fixes the failing shader/bevel unit test when MetalRT is enabled. The ray was being transformed into local object space even when the SD_OBJECT_TRANSFORM_APPLIED flag was set.

This patch adds missing domain priority specifications for the Box and
Ellipse mask. This is a non-functional change because the inputs
happened to be properly ordered anyways.
Introduce `BKE_fcurve_deduplicate_keys()` to merge keys that are on the
same time, or within the time comparison threshold (1/100th of a frame).
When merging two consecutive keys, the last one 'wins' and determines
the final key *value*. The first key's *time* is retained, to ensure the
reference point for the next comparisons is stable. The only exception
here is when there is a key exactly on an integer frame number, in which
case that one is preferred.
The function is exposed in RNA as `fcurve.keyframe_points.deduplicate()`
This commit also introduces a new function `BKE_fcurve_bezt_shrink(fcu,
new_totvert);` that can reallocate the `bezt` array to ensure removed
keys no longer take up memory.
The RNA function `fcurve.update()` currently performs two steps, which
are now exposed to RNA as well, as `keyframe_points.sort()` and
`keyframe_points.handles_recalc()`. This is so that Python code can
sort, deduplicate, and then recalculate the handles only once (calling
`update` + `deduplicate` would do the latter twice).
In Blender 4.0 the deduplication will also be part of `fcurve.update()`,
see #107126.
Reviewed on blender/blender#107089
The `sort_time_fcurve()` function should be stable, i.e. not change the
relative order of keys that have the same X-coordinate. This is now
enforced by a unit test.
I want to build a new function that can deduplicate the keyframes after
sorting, for which it's important that the 'last key wins' to get reliable
results.
The RNA function `fcurve.keyframe_points.add(N)` was purely implemented
in the RNA wrapper. It now sits in `ED_keyframes_add(fcu, N)` where it
can be used by other C code as well.
It's in the editors code, as regular keyframe insertion is there as
well.
No functional changes.
These two didnt check if keywords were passed in, crashed on running
`PyDict_GET_SIZE` on NULL (in case of no keywords).
Oversight in ee292a1d66.
Now just check if keywords are actually passed in.

Many nodes output anonymous attributes (e.g. the top selection in the
Cylinder node). The actual data is only contained in the geometry output
though. The field output just contains a reference to this data (essentially
just the generated name of an attribute). This data can be output even
without computing the geometry itself.
As of right now, this only simplifies the code a bit, but does not have a
bigger impact, because to use the anonymous attribute, you always need
the geometry anyway. However, with the upcoming simulation nodes,
it's possible to create the anonymous attribute in one frame and to access
it in another frame. In the other frame we only need the anonymous
attribute reference and don't have to create the actual geometry again.
Skipping creating the actual attribute on the geometry can have a
significant performance benefit.
Keep these operations separate to simplify path handling logic & docs.
Many callers passed NULL and there were times paths were passed in which
didn't make any sense (where the paths had already been made absolute).
- Don't attempt to skip the WIN32 drive component on relative paths
it's possible this would have unexpected behavior but paths like
are already unlikely to work as expected, e.g. "//C:\".
- Remove early returns for empty paths as there is no need for special
handling.
- Add path normalize NOP tests
Initially, this function was for node data. At Simon's suggestion, it
was extended to a node group inputs as well. However, this overlaps with
another function. It has been missing for a while, but has recently been
fixed by blender/blender#107179. Now this functionality is redundant.

- BLI_path_normalize ran BLI_path_abs on a path that had already
been made absolute.
- BLI_path_slash_ensure was called after BLI_path_normalize_dir
which already ensures a slash.
- Implement mesh creation in GeometrySet agnostic way, with less context
- Remove useless comments
- Use a field to clamp crease values instead of clamping when copying
- Small variable name tweaks
- Use `BKE_subdiv_new_from_mesh` instead of "update"
- Remove crease layers before writing, avoiding potential copy
Avoid possible calculations of loose edges later on if the coarse mesh
doesn't have loose edges or vertices. We expect these counts to be
cached already since `BKE_subdiv_converter_init_for_mesh` calls
`verts_no_face()` and `loose_edges()` already.
Related commits:
- 63689e4756
- 8e967cfeaf
8e967cfeaf only meant to tag the "verts no face" cache
calculated eagerly if both loose edges and loose verts were already
calculated. Instead it caused the calculation of one of the caches.
Follow Python's os.path.normpath's handing on relative paths in more
situations.
- Leading './' is always stripped.
- Relative paths such as `//./a` & `///a` normalize to `//a`.
- Support for trailing `/..` on the end of paths.
- Avoid empty paths for relative paths that would otherwise
resolve to an empty string, e.g: `a/b/c/../../..` resolves to `.`.
- Calculate spans of redundant `//` & `/./` before calling `memmove`.
- Loop backwards when removing path elements for greater efficiency.
- When removing `/../` components, avoid continuously searching from
the start of the path and instead search from the last found '/../'.
The only WIN32 specific behavior the drive or UNC prefix is skipped
(except for it's slash), allowing WIN32 & Unix paths to share the same
code-path.
Note that this changes behavior for WIN32 when there are too many parent
directories, where ".." that move before the root directory are removed
instead of being left in the path. e.g:
`C:\a\..\..\b` resolved to `C:\..\b` whereas now the result is `C:\b`.
This matches Python's `os.path.normpath`.
The socket indices in `bNode` and their corresponding `lf::Node`
don't match exactly, because `lf::Node` does not contain the
unavailable sockets. A simple mapping from `bNodeSocket` index
to `lf::Socket` index is required for future work. For now it
only removes the need for various tempory vectors.
Similar to the cache of loose edges added in 1ea169d90e,
cache the number of loose vertices and which are loose in a bit map.
This can save significant time when drawing large meshes in the
viewport, because recalculations can be avoided when the data doesn't
change, and because many geometry nodes set the loose geometry
caches eagerly when the meshes contain no loose elements.
There are two types of loose vertices:
1. Vertices not used by any edges or faces
`Mesh.loose_verts()`
2. Vertices not used by any faces (may be used by loose edges)
`Mesh.verts_no_face()`
Because both are used by Blender in various places, because the cost
is only a bit per vertex (or constant at best) and for design consistency,
we cache both types of loose elements. The bit maps will only be
allocated when they're actually used, but they are already accessed
in a few important places:
- Attribute domain interpolation
- Subdivision surface modifier
- Viewport drawing
Just skipping viewport drawing calculation after certain geometry
nodes setups can have a large impact. Here is the time taken by
viewport loose geometry extraction before and after the change:
- 4 million vertex grid node: 28 ms to 0 ms
- Large molecular nodes setup (curve to mesh node): 104 ms to 0 ms
- Realize instances with 1 million cubes: 131 ms to 0 ms

The node outputs the index of the closest element to itself. See #102387
for the original design.
This is different from the Sample Nearest node in two important ways:
* It does not have a geometry input, instead the geometry is taken from the
field evaluation context.
* The node can exclude the "current" element from the search.
* The group id input can be used to build subsets of elements that only
consider each other as neighbors and ignore elements with other ids.
