These are the modifications:
-With DRW modification we reduce the number of passes we need to populate.
-Rename passes for consistent naming.
-Reduce complexity in code compilation
-Cleanup how renderpass accumulation passes are setup, using pass instances.
-Make sculpt mode compatible with shadows
-Make hair passes compatible with SSS
-Error shader and lookdev materials now use standalone materials.
-Support default shader (world and material) using a default nodetree internally.
-Change BLEND_CLIP to be emulated by gpu nodetree. Making less shader variations.
-Use BLI_memblock for cache memory allocation.
-Renderpasses are handled by switching a UBO ref bind.
One major hack in this patch is the use of modified pointer as ghash keys.
This rely on the assumption that the keys will never overlap because the
number of options per key will never be bigger than the pointed struct.
The use of one single nodetree to support default material is also a bit hacky
since it won't support concurent usage of this nodetree.
(see EEVEE_shader_default_surface_nodetree)
Another change is that objects with shader errors now appear solid magenta instead
of shaded magenta. This is only because of code reuse purpose but could be changed
if really needed.

Note this only changes cases where the variable was declared inside
the for loop. To handle it outside as well is a different challenge.

This patch is (almost) a complete rewrite of workbench engine.
The features remain unchanged but the code quality is greatly improved.
Hair shading is brighter but also more correct.
This also introduce the concept of `DRWShaderLibrary` to make a simple
include system inside the GLSL files.

This has no user visible impact yet since smoke volumes only support a fixed
set of attributes, but will become important with the new volume object.
For GPU shader compilation, volume grids are now handled separately from
image textures. They are somewhere between a vertex attribute and an image
texture, basically an attribute that is stored as a texture.

In the Intel HD 4000 driver a shader has to be deleted in the same context in which it is created.
However, because you can't use a rendering context on different threads, to maintain the multithreaded compilation, the solution was to use the `GL_ARB_get_program_binary` and copy the binary generated for the shader and generate a shader on the main context using that binary.
This solution is limited only to Intel HD 4000 and windows.

- Merged SEQ_OFSDRAW with V3D_OFSDRAW and define in the
DNA_view3d_types: Due to this FSAA always kicked in making the
rendering slow.
- Removed `Texture Solid` and `DOF`.
- Now when chosing Solid rendering the settings
of the original scene is used.
- Added a global override to use scene specific shading. In the
Future we will need to enhanced this so user can change the
settings.
- Added support for LookDev. LookDev crashed as it needed the
`evil_C` what was not set
- LookDev mode will always show the scene + world lights.

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.
While verbose, this is a more flexible way to construct shaders.
Libs & defines can be optionally included for each shader type
which was previously done with inline string creation.
- Change gl_context_mutex to a ticket mutex ensuring interactivity even
when rendering.
- Add DRW_custom_pipeline for using DRW outside of the viewport and render
pipeline.
- DRW_opengl_render_context_*** and DRW_gawain_render_context_*** to use
with DRW_custom_pipeline.
- Add possibility to bypass deferred compilation on demand (not User
demand).
- Add union to access DRWMatrixState members more easily.
This is part of the work needed to refactor the material parameters update.
Now the gpupass cache is polled before adding the gpumaterial to the
deferred compilation queue.
We store gpupasses in a single linked list grouped based on their hashes.
This is not the most efficient way but it can be improved upon later.
This is a usefull feature that can be used to do a lot of precomputation on
the GPU instead of the CPU.
Implementation is simple and only covers the most usefull case.
How to use:
- Create shader with transform feedback.
- Create a pass with DRW_STATE_TRANS_FEEDBACK.
- Create a target Gwn_VertBuf (make sure it's big enough).
- Create a shading group with DRW_shgroup_transform_feedback_create().
- Add your draw calls to the shading group.
- Render your pass normaly.
Current limitation:
- Only one output buffer.
- Cannot pause/resume tfb rendering to interleave with normal drawcalls.
- Cannot get the number of verts drawn.
Brecht authored this commit, but he gave me the honours to actually
do it. Here it goes; Blender Internal. Bye bye, you did great!
* Point density, voxel data, ocean, environment map textures were removed,
as these only worked within BI rendering. Note that the ocean modifier
and the Cycles point density shader node continue to work.
* Dynamic paint using material shading was removed, as this only worked
with BI. If we ever wanted to support this again probably it should go
through the baking API.
* GPU shader export through the Python API was removed. This only worked
for the old BI GLSL shaders, which no longer exists. Doing something
similar for Eevee would be significantly more complicated because it
uses a lot of multiplass rendering and logic outside the shader, it's
probably impractical.
* Collada material import / export code is mostly gone, as it only worked
for BI materials. We need to add Cycles / Eevee material support at some
point.
* The mesh noise operator was removed since it only worked with BI
material texture slots. A displacement modifier can be used instead.
* The delete texture paint slot operator was removed since it only worked
for BI material texture slots. Could be added back with node support.
* Not all legacy viewport features are supported in the new viewport, but
their code was removed. If we need to bring anything back we can look at
older git revisions.
* There is some legacy viewport code that I could not remove yet, and some
that I probably missed.
* Shader node execution code was left mostly intact, even though it is not
used anywhere now. We may eventually use this to replace the texture
nodes with Cycles / Eevee shader nodes.
* The Cycles Bake panel now includes settings for baking multires normal
and displacement maps. The underlying code needs to be merged properly,
and we plan to add back support for multires AO baking and add support
to Cycles baking for features like vertex color, displacement, and other
missing baking features.
* This commit removes DNA and the Python API for BI material, lamp, world
and scene settings. This breaks a lot of addons.
* There is more DNA that can be removed or renamed, where Cycles or Eevee
are reusing some old BI properties but the names are not really correct
anymore.
* Texture slots for materials, lamps and world were removed. They remain
for brushes, particles and freestyle linestyles.
* 'BLENDER_RENDER' remains in the COMPAT_ENGINES of UI panels. Cycles and
other renderers use this to find all panels to show, minus a few panels
that they have their own replacement for.
