Those cases are fairly hard to track down... Added some more checks,
also at lower levels, more generic levels of object editing, and fixed
core check in liboverride (previously code was assuming that an override
of a collection only could have overrides of objects or linked objects,
but this is not necessarily true).
Use the evaluated mesh to generate the Adjacent Faces margin.
Baking used the evaluated mesh, but generating the margin used the base
mesh. This would lead to generating the margin from a stale UV map when the
UV editor was open and the UV map was changed. Fix it by passing the same
mesh as used for baking through to the margin generation.

Allows to perform correction of coordinate delta/displacement in a
similar way of how sculpt mode handles sculpting on a deformed mesh.
An example of usecase of this is allowing riggers and sciprters to
improve corrective shapekey workflow.
The usage consists of pre-processing and access. For example:
object.crazyspace_eval(depsgraph, scene)
# When we have a difference between two vertices and want to convert
# it to a space to be stored, say, in shapekey:
delta_in_orig_space = rigged_ob.crazyspace_displacement_to_original(
vertex_index=i, displacement=delta)
# The reverse of above.
delta_in_deformed_space = rigged_ob.crazyspace_displacement_to_deformed(
vertex_index=i, displacement=delta)
object.crazyspace_eval_clear()

Because this operator is used on original objects, it's best to tag
the normals dirty instead of explicitly calculating them, to avoid
unnecessarily storing normal layers on an original object (since
they might have to be recalculated during evaluation anyway).
There may be other places this change is helpful, but being
conservative is likely better for now.

This significantly reduces discontinuities on UV seams, by giving a better
match of the texture filtered colors on both sides of the seam. It works by
using pixels from adjacent faces across the UV seam.
This new option is called "Adjacent Faces" and is the default. The old option
is called "Extend", and extends border pixels outwards.

As described in T91186, this commit moves mesh vertex normals into a
contiguous array of float vectors in a custom data layer, how face
normals are currently stored.
The main interface is documented in `BKE_mesh.h`. Vertex and face
normals are now calculated on-demand and cached, retrieved with an
"ensure" function. Since the logical state of a mesh is now "has
normals when necessary", they can be retrieved from a `const` mesh.
The goal is to use on-demand calculation for all derived data, but
leave room for eager calculation for performance purposes (modifier
evaluation is threaded, but viewport data generation is not).
**Benefits**
This moves us closer to a SoA approach rather than the current AoS
paradigm. Accessing a contiguous `float3` is much more efficient than
retrieving data from a larger struct. The memory requirements for
accessing only normals or vertex locations are smaller, and at the
cost of more memory usage for just normals, they now don't have to
be converted between float and short, which also simplifies code
In the future, the remaining items can be removed from `MVert`,
leaving only `float3`, which has similar benefits (see T93602).
Removing the combination of derived and original data makes it
conceptually simpler to only calculate normals when necessary.
This is especially important now that we have more opportunities
for temporary meshes in geometry nodes.
**Performance**
In addition to the theoretical future performance improvements by
making `MVert == float3`, I've done some basic performance testing
on this patch directly. The data is fairly rough, but it gives an idea
about where things stand generally.
- Mesh line primitive 4m Verts: 1.16x faster (36 -> 31 ms),
showing that accessing just `MVert` is now more efficient.
- Spring Splash Screen: 1.03-1.06 -> 1.06-1.11 FPS, a very slight
change that at least shows there is no regression.
- Sprite Fright Snail Smoosh: 3.30-3.40 -> 3.42-3.50 FPS, a small
but observable speedup.
- Set Position Node with Scaled Normal: 1.36x faster (53 -> 39 ms),
shows that using normals in geometry nodes is faster.
- Normal Calculation 1.6m Vert Cube: 1.19x faster (25 -> 21 ms),
shows that calculating normals is slightly faster now.
- File Size of 1.6m Vert Cube: 1.03x smaller (214.7 -> 208.4 MB),
Normals are not saved in files, which can help with large meshes.
As for memory usage, it may be slightly more in some cases, but
I didn't observe any difference in the production files I tested.
**Tests**
Some modifiers and cycles test results need to be updated with this
commit, for two reasons:
- The subdivision surface modifier is not responsible for calculating
normals anymore. In master, the modifier creates different normals
than the result of the `Mesh` normal calculation, so this is a bug
fix.
- There are small differences in the results of some modifiers that
use normals because they are not converted to and from `short`
anymore.
**Future improvements**
- Remove `ModifierTypeInfo::dependsOnNormals`. Code in each modifier
already retrieves normals if they are needed anyway.
- Copy normals as part of a better CoW system for attributes.
- Make more areas use lazy instead of eager normal calculation.
- Remove `BKE_mesh_normals_tag_dirty` in more places since that is
now the default state of a new mesh.
- Possibly apply a similar change to derived face corner normals.

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.

Do not allow 3DView operator to run on the liboverride of an
instantiating Empty object. And tweak behavior in the Outliner
operations too.
Related to T94226.
Note that this remains fairly exotic, bad idea not recommended cases,
such complex inter-dependencies between different libraries inside a
same liboverride hierarchy is just not possible to handle properly.
Outliner would frame the armature object instead of the bone if the bone
was on a hidden armature layer.
Similar to issues reported in e.g. T58068 and T80464, this is due to the
fact that `BKE_pose_channel_active` always checks for the armature layer
(and returns NULL if a bone is not on a visible armature layer).
Now propose to make this layer check **optional** (and e.g. from the
Outliner be more permissive). This also introduces
`BKE_pose_channel_active_if_layer_visible` which just wraps
`BKE_pose_channel_active` with the check being ON.

a few places where we were inconsistent. A small wording change
to another comment is also included.
Some doc-strings were skipped because of blank-lines between
the doc-string and the symbol and needed to be moved manually.
- Added space below non doc-string comments to make it clear
these aren't comments for the symbols directly below them.
- Use doxy sections for some headers.

The mirror modifiers merge option caused unnecessary re-ordering
to the vertex array with original vertices merging into their copies.
While this wasn't an error, it meant creating a 1:1 mapping from input
vertices to their final output wasn't reliable (when looping over
vertices first to last) as is done in
BKE_editmesh_vert_coords_when_deformed.
As merging in either direction is supported, keep the source meshes
vertices in-order since it allows the vertex coordinates to be extracted.
NOTE: Since this change introduce issues for some cases (e.g. bound
modifiers like SurfaceDeform), this change is only applied to newly
created modifiers, existing ones will still use the old incorrect merge
behavior.

Display a "disabled hint" (text explaining why something isn't possible)
when dragging a material over the 3D View, while being in edit mode or
so (anything that isn't object mode).
Previously, `ImageTile->ok` and `ImageUser->ok` were used to indicate
whether an image failed to load. There were three possible values
which (probably) had the following meanings:
* `0`: There was an error while loading the image. Don't try to load again.
* `1`: Default value. Try to load the image.
* `2`: The image was loaded successfully.
This image-wide flag did not make sense unfortunately, because loading
may work for some frames of an image sequence but not for others.
Remember than an image data block can also contain a movie.
The purpose of the `->ok` flag was to serve as an optimization to avoid
trying to load a file over and over again when there is an error (e.g. the
file does not exist or is invalid). To get the optimization back, the patch
is changing `MovieCache` so that it can also cache failed load attempts.
As a consequence, `ibuf` is allowed to be `NULL` in a few more places.
I added the appropriate null checks.
This also solves issues when image sequences are used with the
Image Texture node in Geometry nodes (also see D12827).

rB43bc494892c3 switched `BKE_libblock_relink_to_newid` to use new ID
remapping and libquery code.
However, that new code does protect by default against remapping an
objects's data pointer when that object is in Edit mode, since this is
not a behavior that generic BKE code can handle (due to required editing
data for most obdata types when in edit mode).
So specific code that does create new IDs and need remapping in Edit
mode has to pass specific exception flags to remaping code.
This commit adds those remapping flags to `BKE_libblock_relink_to_newid`
and add said exception flag to the remapping call from
`ED_object_add_duplicate` when the object is in edit mode.
The location of a linked object isn't editable, or at least it will be reset
when reloading the file. So the drag & drop shouldn't even pretend like this
would work, so disable the snapping of the object and the bounding-box to show
the snapped object location while dragging.
When dragging an object in non-object mode into a 3D View, there will now be
red text explaining that this is only possible in object mode.
The previous commit enabled this.
