b8a634cb1d Fix T95489: support writing to vertex groups with geometry nodes again
Technically, this can't be relied upon in the long term. It worked more or
less accidentally before. It was broken by a previous fix accidentally. I mainly
bring it back because rBa985f558a6eb16cd6f0 was not expected to have
this side effect.

Note, this change can result in slower performance. Writing to a vertex
groups is less efficient than using a generic attribute.

c8cca88851 Fix assert in original modifiers pointer update function
The issue was happening with a specific file where the ID management
code was not fully copying all modifiers because of the extra check
in the `BKE_object_support_modifier_type_check()`.

While it is arguable that copy-on-write should be a 1:1 copy there is
no real need to maintain the per-modifier pointer to its original.
Use its SessionUUID to perform lookup in the original datablock.

Downside of this approach is that it is a linear lookup instead of
direct pointer access, but the upside is that there is less pointers
to manage and that the file with unsupported modifiers does behave
correct without any asserts.

a985f558a6 Fix T95084: evaluate all output attributes before changing geometry
This refactors how output attributes are computed in the geometry
nodes modifier. Previously, all output attributes were computed one
after the other. Every attribute was stored on the geometry directly
after computing it. The issue was that other output attributes might
depend on the already overwritten attributes, leading to unexpected
behavior.

The solution is to compute all output attributes first before changing the
geometry. Under specific circumstances, this refactor can result in a speedup,
because output attributes on the same domain are evaluated together now.
Overwriting existing might have become a bit slower, because we write the
attribute into  new buffer instead of using the existing one.

d43b5791e0 BLI: Refactor vector types & functions to use templates
This patch implements the vector types (i.e:`float2`) by making heavy
usage of templating. All vector functions are now outside of the vector
classes (inside the `blender::math` namespace) and are not vector size
dependent for the most part.

In the ongoing effort to make shaders less GL centric, we are aiming
to share more code between GLSL and C++ to avoid code duplication.

####Motivations:
- We are aiming to share UBO and SSBO structures between GLSL and C++.
This means we will use many of the existing vector types and others
we currently don't have (uintX, intX). All these variations were
asking for many more code duplication.
- Deduplicate existing code which is duplicated for each vector size.
- We also want to share small functions. Which means that vector
functions should be static and not in the class namespace.
- Reduce friction to use these types in new projects due to their
incompleteness.
- The current state of the `BLI_(float|double|mpq)(2|3|4).hh` is a
bit of a let down. Most clases are incomplete, out of sync with each
others with different codestyles, and some functions that should be
static are not (i.e: `float3::reflect()`).

####Upsides:
- Still support `.x, .y, .z, .w` for readability.
- Compact, readable and easilly extendable.
- All of the vector functions are available for all the vectors types
and can be restricted to certain types. Also template specialization
let us define exception for special class (like mpq).
- With optimization ON, the compiler unroll the loops and performance
is the same.

####Downsides:
- Might impact debugability. Though I would arge that the bugs are
rarelly caused by the vector class itself (since the operations are
quite trivial) but by the type conversions.
- Might impact compile time. I did not saw a significant impact since
the usage is not really widespread.
- Functions needs to be rewritten to support arbitrary vector length.
For instance, one can't call `len_squared_v3v3` in
`math::length_squared()` and call it a day.
- Type cast does not work with the template version of the `math::`
vector functions. Meaning you need to manually cast `float *` and
`(float *)[3]` to `float3` for the function calls.
i.e: `math::distance_squared(float3(nearest.co), positions[i]);`
- Some parts might loose in readability:
`float3::dot(v1.normalized(), v2.normalized())`
becoming
`math::dot(math::normalize(v1), math::normalize(v2))`
But I propose, when appropriate, to use
`using namespace blender::math;` on function local or file scope to
increase readability.
`dot(normalize(v1), normalize(v2))`

####Consideration:
- Include back `.length()` method. It is quite handy and is more C++
oriented.
- I considered the GLM library as a candidate for replacement. It felt
like too much for what we need and would be difficult to extend / modify
to our needs.
- I used Macros to reduce code in operators declaration and potential
copy paste bugs. This could reduce debugability and could be reverted.
- This touches `delaunay_2d.cc` and the intersection code. I would like
to know @howardt opinion on the matter.
- The `noexcept` on the copy constructor of `mpq(2|3)` is being removed.
But according to @JacquesLucke it is not a real problem for now.

I would like to give a huge thanks to @JacquesLucke who helped during this
and pushed me to reduce the duplication further.

7e712b2d6a Nodes: refactor node tree update handling
Goals of this refactor:
* More unified approach to updating everything that needs to be updated
  after a change in a node tree.
* The updates should happen in the correct order and quadratic or worse
  algorithms should be avoided.
* Improve detection of changes to the output to avoid tagging the depsgraph
  when it's not necessary.
* Move towards a more declarative style of defining nodes by having a
  more centralized update procedure.

The refactor consists of two main parts:
* Node tree tagging and update refactor.
  * Generally, when changes are done to a node tree, it is tagged dirty
    until a global update function is called that updates everything in
    the correct order.
  * The tagging is more fine-grained compared to before, to allow for more
    precise depsgraph update tagging.
* Depsgraph changes.
  * The shading specific depsgraph node for node trees as been removed.
  * Instead, there is a new `NTREE_OUTPUT` depsgrap node, which is only
    tagged when the output of the node tree changed (e.g. the Group Output
    or Material Output node).
  * The copy-on-write relation from node trees to the data block they are
    embedded in is now non-flushing. This avoids e.g. triggering a material
    update after the shader node tree changed in unrelated ways. Instead
    the material has a flushing relation to the new `NTREE_OUTPUT` node now.
  * The depsgraph no longer reports data block changes through to cycles
    through `Depsgraph.updates` when only the node tree changed in ways
    that do not affect the output.

Avoiding unnecessary updates seems to work well for geometry nodes and cycles.
The situation is a bit worse when there are drivers on the node tree, but that
could potentially be improved separately in the future.

Avoiding updates in eevee and the compositor is more tricky, but also less urgent.
* Eevee updates are triggered by calling `DRW_notify_view_update` in
  `ED_render_view3d_update` indirectly from `DEG_editors_update`.
* Compositor updates are triggered by `ED_node_composite_job` in `node_area_refresh`.
  This is triggered by calling `ED_area_tag_refresh` in `node_area_listener`.

Removing updates always has the risk of breaking some dependency that no
one was aware of. It's not unlikely that this will happen here as well. Adding
back missing updates should be quite a bit easier than getting rid of
unnecessary updates though.

a3ad5abf2f Allocator: simplify using guarded allocator in C++ code
Using the `MEM_*` API from C++ code was a bit annoying:
* When converting C to C++ code, one often has to add a type cast on
  returned `void *`. That leads to having the same type name three times
  in the same line. This patch reduces the amount to two and removes the
  `sizeof(...)` from the line.
* The existing alternative of using `OBJECT_GUARDED_NEW` looks a out
  of place compared to other allocation methods. Sometimes
  `MEM_CXX_CLASS_ALLOC_FUNCS` can be used when structs are defined
  in C++ code. It doesn't look great but it's definitely better. The downside
  is that it makes the name of the allocation less useful. That's because
  the same name is used for all allocations of a type, independend of
  where it is allocated.

This patch introduces three new functions: `MEM_new`, `MEM_cnew` and
`MEM_delete`. These cover the majority of use cases (array allocation is
not covered).

The `OBJECT_GUARDED_*` macros are removed because they are not
needed anymore.

47276b8470 Geometry Nodes: reduce overhead when processing single values
Currently the geometry nodes evaluator always stores a field for every
type that supports it, even if it is just a single value. This results in a lot
of overhead when there are many sockets that just contain a single
value, which is often the case.

This introduces a new `ValueOrField<T>` type that is used by the geometry
nodes evaluator. Now a field will only be created when it is actually
necessary. See D13307 for more details. In extrem cases this can speed
up the evaluation 2-3x (those cases are probably never hit in practice
though, but it's good to get rid of unnecessary overhead nevertheless).

570331ca96 Fix T92928: Geometry nodes animation decorator wrong for vectors
Decorators were only added for the first item of an array.

Decorators for all items of an array are added:
- if the layout is flagged `UI_ITEM_PROP_DECORATE` automatically in
`uiItemFullR` or
- calling `uiItemDecoratorR` (but only in certain situations, see below)

When calling `uiItemDecoratorR` with an index of 0, the following
happens:
- the index is passed to `uiItemDecoratorR_prop`
- that checks with `ui_item_rna_is_expand` if decorators should be added
to all items of an array
- the check fails (because it only permits RNA_NO_INDEX -- which is -1)

So two things we can do:
- remain using `uiItemDecoratorR` (that would require to pass an index
of RNA_NO_INDEX -- a bad level include -- or -1
- just use `uiLayoutSetPropDecorate` to flag the row properly

c473b2ce8b Fix part of T89313: Attribute search crash during animation playback
During animation playback, data-blocks are reallocated, so storing
pointers to the resulting data is not okay. Instead, the data should
be retrieved from the context. This works when the applied search
item is the "dummy" item added for non-matches. However, it still
crashes for every other item, because the memory is owned by the
modifier value log, which has been freed by the time the exec function
runs.

The next part of the solution is to allow uiSearchItems
to own memory for the search items.

This commit exposes the `id` attribute on the instances component,
makes it optional-- only generated by default with the distribute points

Since the string to curves node only added the index as each instance's
ID, I removed it. This means that it would be necessary to add the ID
data manually if the initial index actually helps (when deleting only

realizing has already been removed in other nodes.

This adds another geometry nodes modifier before modifiers that would

Previously, some multi-functions were allocated in a resource scope.
This was fine as long as the multi-functions were only needed during

that require the multi-functions to be alive after the modifier is finished.
For example, we want to evaluate fields created with geometry nodes
outside of geometry nodes.

To make this work, `std::shared_ptr` has to be used in a few more places.
Realistically, this shouldn't have a noticable impact on performance.
If this does become a bottleneck in the future, we can think about ways
to make this work without using `shared_ptr` for multi-functions that
are only used once.

797064544e Geometry Nodes: Only show attribute toggle for field inputs
Change the toggle to switch between an attribute and a single value to
only display for inputs that are fields, as determined statically by
the field inferencing added in rB61f3d4eb7c7db7. This means the field
inferencing must be calculated on file load, since it's used in the UI.

5d70a4d7ee Geometry Nodes: Move output attribute names to a subpanel
In a sub-panel it will be clearer that they are outputs, since they
just look like more inputs now. Unfortunately it is not possible to
make sub-panels display conditionally currently, so the output
sub-panel will always be visible whether or not it is empty.

3d2ce25afd Geometry Nodes: support creating new attributes in modifier
This patch allows passing a field to the modifier as output. In the
modifier, the user can choose an attribute name. The attribute
will be filled with values computed by the field. This only works
for realized mesh/curve/point data. As mentioned in T91376, the
output domain is selected in the node group itself. We might want
to add this functionality to the modifier later as well, but not now.

41e3bf8a8e Geometry Nodes: Add legacy warning and "View Legacy" operator
This commit adds warning messages to "legacy" nodes that will be
removed in the future. The warning is shown in the node header, but
it is not printed in the terminal or displayed in the modifier. It is
also not propogated to node groups, but that is a more general task.

If the modifier's node tree has executed a deprecated node, it will
display a warning and a "Search" button that will select the nodes and
pan to them in the node editor. This doesn't open child node trees and
select nodes in there, because I want to keep this operator simple and
avoid wasting a lot of time perfecting this behavior.

633c29fb7b Fix: Nodes modifier ignores input value with new property missing
An issue with the previous commit-- the default value of the type was
used instead of the property value when the "use_attribute" property
was missing.

8e21d528ca Geometry Nodes: Add a toggle to use attributes as input values
This adds a toggle to node group inputs exposed in the modifier to use
an attribute instead of a single value. When the toggle is pressed, the
button switches to a text button to choose an attribute name. Attribute
search isn't implemented here yet.

One confusing thing is that some values can't be driven by attributes
at all, like the size of a primitive node. In that case, we should have
a node warning, but that will be separate since it's more general.
We can also have an option to turn off this toggle in node group
input settings.

The two new properties for each input are stored with the same name
as the value, but with `"_use_attribute"` and `"_attribute_name"``
suffixes. The properties are not added for socket types that don't
support attribute input, like object sockets.

b9febb54a4 Geometry Nodes: Support modifier on curve objects
With this commit, curve objects support the geometry nodes modifier.

Curves objects now evaluate to `CurveEval` unless there was a previous
implicit conversion (tessellating modifiers, mesh modifiers, or the
settings in the curve "Geometry" panel). In the new code, curves are
only considered to be the wire edges-- any generated surface is a mesh
instead, stored in the evaluated geometry set.

The consolidation of concepts mentioned above allows remove a lot of
code that had to do with maintaining the `DispList` type temporarily
for modifiers and rendering. Instead, render engines see a separate
object for the mesh from the mesh geometry component, and when the
curve object evaluates to a curve, the `CurveEval` is always used for
drawing wire edges.

However, currently the `DispList` type is still maintained and used as
an intermediate step in implicit mesh conversion. In the future, more
uses of it could be changed to use `CurveEval` and `Mesh` instead.

This is mostly not changed behavior, it is just a formalization of
existing logic after recent fixes for 2.8 versions last year and two
years ago. Also, in the future more functionality can be converted
to nodes, removing cases of implicit conversions. For more discussion
on that topic, see T89676.

The `use_fill_deform` option is removed. It has not worked properly
since 2.62, and the choice for filling a curve before or after
deformation will work much better and be clearer with a node system.

Applying the geometry nodes modifier to generate a curve is not
implemented with this commit, so applying the modifier won't work
at all. This is a separate technical challenge, and should be solved
in a separate step.

bf47fb40fd Geometry Nodes: fields and anonymous attributes
This implements the initial core framework for fields and anonymous
attributes (also see T91274).

The new functionality is hidden behind the "Geometry Nodes Fields"
feature flag. When enabled in the user preferences, the following
new nodes become available: `Position`, `Index`, `Normal`,
`Set Position` and `Attribute Capture`.

Socket inspection has not been updated to work with fields yet.

Besides these changes at the user level, this patch contains the
ground work for:
* building and evaluating fields at run-time (`FN_fields.hh`) and
* creating and accessing anonymous attributes on geometry
  (`BKE_anonymous_attribute.h`).

For evaluating fields we use a new so called multi-function procedure
(`FN_multi_function_procedure.hh`). It allows composing multi-functions
in arbitrary ways and supports efficient evaluation as is required by
fields. See `FN_multi_function_procedure.hh` for more details on how
this evaluation mechanism can be used.

A new `AttributeIDRef` has been added which allows handling named
and anonymous attributes in the same way in many places.

Hans and I worked on this patch together.

8b9a3b94fc Refactor IDProperty UI data storage
The storage of IDProperty UI data (min, max, default value, etc) is
quite complicated. For every property, retrieving a single one of these
values involves three string lookups. First for the "_RNA_UI" group
property, then another for a group with the property's name, then for
the data value name. Not only is this inefficient, it's hard to reason
about, unintuitive, and not at all self-explanatory.

This commit replaces that system with a UI data struct directly in the
IDProperty. If it's not used, the only cost is of a NULL pointer. Beyond
storing the description, name, and RNA subtype, derived structs are used
to store type specific UI data like min and max.

Note that this means that addons using (abusing) the `_RNA_UI` custom
property will have to be changed. A few places in the addons repository
will be changed after this commit with D9919.

**Before**
Before, first the _RNA_UI subgroup is retrieved the _RNA_UI group,
then the subgroup for the original property, then specific UI data
is accessed like any other IDProperty.
```
prop = rna_idprop_ui_prop_get(idproperties_owner, "prop_name", create=True)
prop["min"] = 1.0
```

**After**
After, the `id_properties_ui` function for RNA structs returns a python
object specifically for managing an IDProperty's UI data.
```
ui_data = idproperties_owner.id_properties_ui("prop_name")
ui_data.update(min=1.0)
```
In addition to `update`, there are now other functions:
 - `as_dict`: Returns a dictionary of the property's UI data.
 - `clear`: Removes the property's UI data.
 - `update_from`: Copy UI data between properties,
   even if they have different owners.

0081200812 Functions: remove multi-function network
The multi-function network system was able to compose multiple
multi-functions into a new one and to evaluate that efficiently.
This functionality was heavily used by the particle nodes prototype
a year ago. However, since then we only used multi-functions
without the need to compose them in geometry nodes.

The upcoming "fields" in geometry nodes will need a way to
compose multi-functions again. Unfortunately, the code removed
in this commit was not ideal for this different kind of function
composition. I've been working on an alternative that will be added
separately when it becomes needed.

I've had to update all the function nodes, because their interface
depended on the multi-function network data structure a bit.
The actual multi-function implementations are still the same though.
