The old convention was easy to confuse with ScrArea.
Part of https://developer.blender.org/T74432.
This is mostly a batch rename with some manual fixing. Only single word
variable names are changed, no prefixed/suffixed names.
Brecht van Lommel and Campbell Barton both gave me a green light for
this convention change.
Also ran clan clang format on affected files.
This cleans up a bit of duplicated code and some confusion about
what was culled and what wasn't.
Now everything is culled based on the given object pointer.
If the object pointer is NULL there is no culling performed.
We can not access ensured-to-be-evaluated dependency graph from the
render API: some of it is running from within evaluation which makes
it possible for engines to access list of evaluated IDs.
Solved by passing dependency graph to viewport functions, similar to
the final render functions.
Only draw the depth buffer when overlays are enabled and scene
or view has changed.
When using Cycles in the viewport for every viewport draw call
the depth buffer was renewed. Draw calls happened when a sample
was finished or the status report was updated.
This could waist some CPU/GPU cycles. This change will check when
the depth buffer needs to be updated or when the last known depth
buffer could be reused.

Needed to fix T61196, supporting clipped back-buffer in the 3D view
which is done outside the draw module.
It was also inconvenient having DRW_shader_* versions of GPU_shader_*
API calls.
- Clipping distances are now supported as a shader configuration
for builtin shaders.
- Add shader config argument when accessing builtin shaders.
- Move GPU_shader_create_from_arrays() from DRW to GPU.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
For simplicity we choose to execute the rendering of Opengl engines in the main thread and block the interface.
This might be addressed in the future at least for video rendering.
A drawmanager wrapper (DRW_render_to_image) is called by the render pipeline to set up the Opengl state and then call the specific draw_engine->render_to_image function.
This replaces dedicated flag which wasn't clean who sets it and who clears it,
and which was also trying to re-implement existing functionality in a way.
Flushing is not currently very efficient but there are ways to speed this up
a lot, but needs more investigation.
Engine is not stored in WorkSpaces. That defines the "context" engine, which
is used for the entire UI.
The engine used for the poll of nodes (add node menu, new nodes when "Use Nodes")
is obtained from context.
Introduce a ViewRender struct for viewport settings that are defined for
workspaces and scene. This struct will be populated with the hand-picked
settings that can be defined per workspace as per the 2.8 design.
* use_scene_settings
* properties editor: workshop + organize context path
Use Scene Settings
==================
For viewport drawing, Workspaces have an option to use the Scene render
settings (F12) instead of the viewport settings.
This way users can quickly preview the final render settings, engine and
View Layer. This will affect all the editors in that workspace, and it will be
clearly indicated in the top-bar.
Properties Editor: Add Workspace and organize context path
==========================================================
We now have the properties of:
Scene, Scene > Layer, Scene > World, Workspace
[Scene | Workspace] > Render Layer > Object
[Scene | Workspace] > Render Layer > Object > Data

This add a new set of (possible) render settings that can be defined at
the scene level and overridable at the scene layer level.
Once we get workspaces we can either add workspace inbetween scene and
scene layer evaluation. Or to replace layer settings, to avoid extra
confusion to users.
An example of this setting is "samples", as implemented now for the clay
engine.
This can be used by any engine actually. For example to give feedback
regarding probe caching in Eevee, ....
Unline master, we try to conciliate both the original viewport info
(FPS, view name) and the render info.
Note: I had to split the function in two because the camera alpha
passepartout is handled inside the view3d_draw_region_info function.
Review: Campbell Barton and Clement Foucault.
Thanks to Sergey Sharybin and Pablo Vazquez for some of the design
discussions.
8b2640f08 introduced the error,
caused by external-engine needing depth mask to be disabled,
which happened to be the case before changing state changing logic.
We can now use object and other modes on top of Cycles.
Since we are now always on "render_to_view" (old Rendered mode), the
pause button is always visible.
