Due to the freeing and re-creation of textures performed when binding
offscreen viewports, VR viewport textures would be needlessly
re-created every drawing iteration, leading to a negative impact on VR
frame rate.
This was brought to light by 6738ecb64e, which introduced an
additional texture clear operation on initialization and was
prohibitively costly on some systems when performed every frame.
Now, the textures for VR viewports will not be always re-created
during offscreen binding, but only when necessary using a pre-drawing
step (`wm_xr_session_surface_offscreen_ensure()`).

The crash was happening when the mesh had loose edges.
Loose edges are not part of OpenSubdiv topology and hence should not be
communicated to the refiner. Pass ta boolean flag indicating whether an
edge is loose or not in the mesh foreach routines, which seems to be
the easiest way.
Caused by rBf75449b5f2b04b79, which was missing a null check when
attempting to extract a `CustomData` pointer from an mesh that might
be null if the object isn't a mesh object. The commit added null checks
elsewhere, so simply adding them here is a straightforward fix.
Fixes T95526, T95539
The check for existence of custom data layers did not take wrapper nature of
mesh into account.
Quickest and safest for 3.1 solution is to take care of branching of checks
in the draw manager.
Ideally both wrapper and mesh access will happen via the same public API
without branching in the "user" code. That is something outside of the fix
for the coming release though.

Byte images are converted to float. Due to an issue how VSE cache is
freeing its images we cannot store these float buffers what leads
to recalculating it for each change in the image editor.
This fix will reduce the slowdown to areas that have the root cause of
the memory leak, so the buffers can be reused between refreshes.
NOTE: The root cause should still be fixed.
Thanks for reporting Sybren!
When viewing backdrop on top of the node grid, the grid would be
rendered black when the mode wasn't set to RGBA. This fix fixes this by
reverting the previous fix of drawing the backdrop and implement a
different one that recomputes the UV coordinates on the screen edges.
This is a temp fix for a memory leak where the VSE isn't aware that a
float representation of the image could exist. The VSE somehow doens't
clears it (refcounter is still 1).
The work around is just to let the image engine clean up all the data it
created. Potential this would add more overhead when buffers are needed
more than once.
Since splitting the depth and the color shader in the image engine the
backdrop wasn't visible anymore. The reson is that the min max uv
coordinates were never working for the node editor backdrop that uses
its own coordinate space.
This partial fix will ignore the depth test when drawing the color part
of the backdrop. This will still have artifacts that are visible when
showing other options as RGBA.
Proper fix would be to calculate the the uv vbo in uv space and not in
image space.
Can also happen in other places when the overlay engine is active. Some
parts of the overlay engine uses builtin shaders, but disable the color
space conversion to the target texture.
Currently there the overlay engine has its own set of libraries it could
include and defined a macro to pass-throught the color space conversion.
The library include mechanism currently fails when it couldn't find the
builtin library in the libraries of the overlay engine. This only
happened in debug mode.
This change will not fail, but warns the developer if a library could
not be included. In the future this should be replaced by a different
mechanism that can disable the builtin library. See {T95382}.
Empty (UDIM) tiles where drawn with a transparency checkerboard. They
should be rendered with a border background. The cause is that the image
engine would select a single area that contained all tiles and draw them
as being part of an image.
The fix is to separate the color and depth part of the image engine
shader and only draw the depths of tiles that are enabled.
Parameter was used to still be compatible with the previous drawing mode.
The previous mode isn't available anymore so the parameter can should be
removed.
After showing the alpha in the image editor the setting was not reset
so all images in the editor showed as being transparent.
This commit fixes this by resetting the flag before updating.
Adding better support for drawing huge images in the image/uv editor. Also solved tearing artifacts.
The approach is that for each image/uv editor a screen space gpu texture is created that only contains
the visible pixels. When zooming or panning the gpu texture is rebuild.
Although the solution isn't memory intensive other parts of blender memory usage scales together with
the image size.
* Due to complexity we didn't implement partial updates when drawing images tiled (wrap repeat).
This could be added, but is complicated as a change in the source could mean many different
changes on the GPU texture. The work around for now is to tag all gpu textures to be dirty when
changes are detected.
Original plan was to have 4 screen space images to support panning without gpu texture creation.
For now we don't see the need to implement it as the solution is already fast. Especially when
GPU memory is shared with CPU ram.

This uses a light parser / string modification pass to convert
C++ enum declaration syntax to GLSL compatible one.
GLSL having no support for enums, we are forced to convert the
enum values to a series of constant uints.
The parser (not really one by the way), being stupidly simple,
will not change anything to the values and thus make some C++
syntax (like omitting the values) not work.
The string replacement happens on all GLSL files on startup.
I did not measure significant changes in blender startup speed.
There is plans to do all of this at compile time.
We limit the scope of the search to `.h` and `.hh` files to prevent
confusing syntax in `.glsl` files.
There is basic error reporting with file, line and char logging
for easy debuggabiliy.
The requirements to use this enum sharing system are already listed in
`gpu_shader_shared_utils.h` and repeated on top of the preprocessor
function.
Also adds a few things to GPUShader for easily create shaders.
Heavy usage of macros to compose the createInfo and avoid
duplications and copy paste bugs.
This makes the link between the shader request functions
(in workbench_shader.cc) and the actual createInfo a bit
obscure since the names are composed and not searchable.

The evaluated mesh is a result of evaluated modifiers, and referencing
other evaluated IDs such as materials.
It can not be stored in the EditMesh structure which is intended to be
re-used by many areas. Such sharing was causing ownership errors causing
bugs like
T93855: Cycles crash with edit mode and simultaneous viewport and final render
The proposed solution is to store the evaluated edit mesh and its cage in
the object's runtime field. The motivation goes as following:
- It allows to avoid ownership problems like the ones in the linked report.
- Object level is chosen over mesh level is because the evaluated mesh
is affected by modifiers, which are on the object level.
This patch allows to have modifier stack of an object which shares mesh with
an object which is in edit mode to be properly taken into account (before
the change the modifier stack from the active object will be used for all
objects which share the mesh).
There is a change in the way how copy-on-write is handled in the edit mode to
allow proper state update when changing active scene (or having two windows
with different scenes). Previously, the copt-on-write would have been ignored
by skipping tagging CoW component. Now it is ignored from within the CoW
operation callback. This allows to update edit pointers for objects which are
not from the current depsgraph and where the edit_mesh was never assigned in
the case when the depsgraph was evaluated prior the active depsgraph.
There is no user level changes changes expected with the CoW handling changes:
should not affect on neither performance, nor memory consumption.
Tested scenarios:
- Various modifiers configurations of objects sharing mesh and be part of the
same scene.
- Steps from the reports: T93855, T82952, T77359
This also fixes T76609, T72733 and perhaps other reports.

The point IBO should only have data for coarse vertices (or in general,
the vertices in the original mesh). As it used for displaying the
vertices for selection in edit mode, and as it indexes into the VBOs for
the positions and edit data, it is itself only indexed by coarse/
original vertex index.
For the subdivision case, this would allocate space for the final
subdivision vertex and reallocate to make room for loose geometry,
although only the first coarse vertex count amount of data would be.
Now just allocate for the required memory. Also reuse index buffer APIs
instead of doing manual work.
Custom bones are drawn by instancing the GPUBatch of the base object. To
access the mesh and its GPUBatch, `BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh` was
used. However, since GPU subdivision support, this will return a
subdivision wrapper which will never be drawn, and thus will have an
invalid batch, which caused the crash.
`BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh_no_subsurf` should be used instead, to
return the mesh that will be drawn, and have the subdivision evaluated
on the GPU. Note that the rest of the draw code is already using this
function.
This adds vertex creasing support for OpenSubDiv for modeling, rendering,
Alembic and USD I/O.
For modeling, vertex creasing follows the edge creasing implementation with an
operator accessible through the Vertex menu in Edit Mode, and some parameter in
the properties panel. The option in the Subsurf and Multires to use edge
creasing also affects vertex creasing.
The vertex crease data is stored as a CustomData layer, unlike edge creases
which for now are stored in `MEdge`, but will in the future also be moved to
a `CustomData` layer. See comments for details on the difference in behavior
for the `CD_CREASE` layer between egdes and vertices.
For Cycles this adds sockets on the Mesh node to hold data about which vertices
are creased (one socket for the indices, one for the weigths).
Viewport rendering of vertex creasing reuses the same color scheme as for edges
and creased vertices are drawn bigger than uncreased vertices.
For Alembic and USD, vertex crease support follows the edge crease
implementation, they are always read, but only exported if a `Subsurf` modifier
is present on the Mesh.
