No user-visible changes expected.
Essentially, this makes it possible to use C++ types like `std::function`
inside `uiBut`. This has plenty of benefits, for example this should help
significantly reducing unsafe `void *` use (since a `std::function` can hold
arbitrary data while preserving types).
----
I wanted to use a non-trivially-constructible C++ type (`std::function`) inside
`uiBut`. But this would mean we can't use `MEM_cnew()` like allocation anymore.
Rather than writing worse code, allow non-trivial construction for `uiBut`.
Member-initializing all members is annoying since there are so many, but rather
safe than sorry. As we use more C++ types (e.g. convert callbacks to use
`std::function`), this should become less since they initialize properly on
default construction.
Also use proper C++ inheritance for `uiBut` subtypes, the old way to allocate
based on size isn't working anymore.

The implementation is straightforward, except for the need to
make the severity of errors reported by the underlying editor
code into a parameter, so that the new Python API function
reports any problems as Python exceptions, and refactoring
the code to allow aborting a blocked move before making any

Rewrite of the Workbench engine using C++ and the new Draw Manager API.
The new engine can be enabled in Blender `Preferences > Experimental > Workbench Next`.
After that, the engine can be selected in `Properties > Scene > Render Engine`.
When `Workbench Next` is the active engine, it also handles the `Solid` viewport mode rendering.
The rewrite aims to be functionally equivalent to the current Workbench engine, but it also includes some small fixes/tweaks:
- `In Front` rendered objects now work correctly with DoF and Shadows.
- The `Sampling > Viewport` setting is actually used when the viewport is in `Render Mode`.
- In `Texture` mode, textured materials also use the material properties. (Previously, only non textured materials would)
To do:
- Sculpt PBVH.
- Volume rendering.
- Hair rendering.
- Use the "no_geom" shader versions for shadow rendering.
- Decide the final API for custom visibility culling (Needed for shadows).
- Profile/optimize.
Known Issues:
- Matcaps are not loaded until they’re shown elsewhere. (e.g. when opening the `Viewort Shading` UI)
- Outlines are drawn between different materials of the same object. (Each material submesh has its own object handle)

Add an RNA API function that gives an array of the normals for every control point.
The normals depend on the `normal_mode` attribute, which can currently be
minumum twist or Z-up, though more options are planned. Normals are currently
evaluated on the evaluated points and then sampled back to the control points.
Because that can be expensive, a normal mode that only does a first evaluation
on control points may be important
The function is intended to be used by Cycles, so it doesn't have to implement
the calculation of normals itself. They can be interpolated between control points
and normalized.
For best performance, the function should only be called once, since it does the
full calculation for every control point every time it is called.

This patch uses the recorded drawing speed to rebuild the strokes. This results in a way more
natural feel of the animation.
Here's a short summary of existing data used:
- gps->points->time: This is a timestamp in seconds of when the point was created
since the creation of the stroke. It's quite often 0 (I added a sanitization routine).
- gpf->inittime: This is a timestamp in seconds when a stroke was drawn measured
since some unknown point in time. I only ever use the difference between two strokes,
so the absolute value is not relevant.

Currently the `MLoopUV` struct stores UV coordinates and flags related
to editing UV maps in the UV editor. This patch changes the coordinates
to use the generic 2D vector type, and moves the flags into three
separate boolean attributes. This follows the design in T95965, with
the ultimate intention of simplifying code and improving performance.
Importantly, the change allows exporters and renderers to use UVs
"touched" by geometry nodes, which only creates generic attributes.
It also allows geometry nodes to create "proper" UV maps from scratch,
though only with the Store Named Attribute node for now.
The new design considers any 2D vector attribute on the corner domain
to be a UV map. In the future, they might be distinguished from regular
2D vectors with attribute metadata, which may be helpful because they
are often interpolated differently.
Most of the code changes deal with passing around UV BMesh custom data
offsets and tracking the boolean "sublayers". The boolean layers are
use the following prefixes for attribute names: vert selection: `.vs.`,
edge selection: `.es.`, pinning: `.pn.`. Currently these are short to
avoid using up the maximum length of attribute names. To accommodate
for these 4 extra characters, the name length limit is enlarged to 68
bytes, while the maximum user settable name length is still 64 bytes.
Unfortunately Python/RNA API access to the UV flag data becomes slower.
Accessing the boolean layers directly is be better for performance in
general.
Like the other mesh SoA refactors, backward and forward compatibility
aren't affected, and won't be changed until 4.0. We pay for that by
making mesh reading and writing more expensive with conversions.
Resolves T85962
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D14365
**Changes**
As described in T93602, this patch removes all use of the `MVert`
struct, replacing it with a generic named attribute with the name
`"position"`, consistent with other geometry types.
Variable names have been changed from `verts` to `positions`, to align
with the attribute name and the more generic design (positions are not
vertices, they are just an attribute stored on the point domain).
This change is made possible by previous commits that moved all other
data out of `MVert` to runtime data or other generic attributes. What
remains is mostly a simple type change. Though, the type still shows up
859 times, so the patch is quite large.
One compromise is that now `CD_MASK_BAREMESH` now contains
`CD_PROP_FLOAT3`. With the general move towards generic attributes
over custom data types, we are removing use of these type masks anyway.
**Benefits**
The most obvious benefit is reduced memory usage and the benefits
that brings in memory-bound situations. `float3` is only 3 bytes, in
comparison to `MVert` which was 4. When there are millions of vertices
this starts to matter more.
The other benefits come from using a more generic type. Instead of
writing algorithms specifically for `MVert`, code can just use arrays
of vectors. This will allow eliminating many temporary arrays or
wrappers used to extract positions.
Many possible improvements aren't implemented in this patch, though
I did switch simplify or remove the process of creating temporary
position arrays in a few places.
The design clarity that "positions are just another attribute" brings
allows removing explicit copying of vertices in some procedural
operations-- they are just processed like most other attributes.
**Performance**
This touches so many areas that it's hard to benchmark exhaustively,
but I observed some areas as examples.
* The mesh line node with 4 million count was 1.5x (8ms to 12ms) faster.
* The Spring splash screen went from ~4.3 to ~4.5 fps.
* The subdivision surface modifier/node was slightly faster
RNA access through Python may be slightly slower, since now we need
a name lookup instead of just a custom data type lookup for each index.
**Future Improvements**
* Remove uses of "vert_coords" functions:
* `BKE_mesh_vert_coords_alloc`
* `BKE_mesh_vert_coords_get`
* `BKE_mesh_vert_coords_apply{_with_mat4}`
* Remove more hidden copying of positions
* General simplification now possible in many areas
* Convert more code to C++ to use `float3` instead of `float[3]`
* Currently `reinterpret_cast` is used for those C-API functions

The slider component can now be told to not use CTRL for toggling stepped
10% increments. This is useful when the operator that uses the slider needs
that modifier key for its own purposes.
Due an internal scale of the brush size done by grease pencil

this makes the radial size displayed useless.

Use the same `".selection"` attribute for both curve and point domains,
instead of a different name for each. The attribute can now have
either boolean or float type. Some tools create boolean selections.
Other tools create float selections. Some tools "upgrade" the attribute
from boolean to float.
Edit mode tools that create selections from scratch can create boolean
selections, but edit mode should generally be able to handle both
selection types. Sculpt mode should be able to read boolean selections,
but can also and write float values between zero and one.
Theoretically we could just always use floats to store selections,
but the type-agnosticism doesn't cost too much complexity given the
existing APIs for dealing with it, and being able to use booleans is
clearer in edit mode, and may allow future optimizations like more
efficient ways to store boolean attributes.
The attribute API is usually used directly for accessing the selection
attribute. We rely on implicit type conversion and domain interpolation
to simplify the rest of the code.

in preparation of an upcoming change where the pose backup is going to be

logic.
Technically only the freeing code could be moved, but I felt it made more

Recently a new geometry node for splitting edges was added in D16399.
However, there was already a similar implementation in mesh.cc that was
mainly used to fake auto smooth support in Cycles by splitting sharp
edges and edges around sharp faces.
While there are still possibilities for optimization in the new code,
the implementation is safer and simpler, multi-threaded, and aligns
better with development plans for caching topology on Mesh and other
recent developments with attributes.
This patch removes the old code and moves the node implementation to
the geometry module so it can be used in editors and RNA. The "free
loop normals" argument is deprecated now, since it was only an internal
optimization exposed for Cycles.
The new mesh `editors` function creates an `IndexMask` of edges to
split by reusing some of the code from the corner normal calculation.

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

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.
