We do have an history of those pieces of evil in our code, would be nice
to get fully rid of it, but at the very least let's not add more of them
in new code. :)
GCC seems to detect uninitialized into function calls now, but then isn't
always smart enough to see that it is actually initialized. Disabling this
warning entirely seems a bit too much, so initialize a bit more now.
This commit effectively makes workspace switching useless as far as the
active scene layer goes.
The functions from the scene layer API to get the correct scene layer
from "context" were a placeholder to be addressed by the workspace
commit.
When workspace was merged, however G.main was used as a replacement to pass the
correct argument for the functions. As it turned out (surprise!) this
leads to crash on render preview.
We need to get rid of:
* BKE_scene_layer_context_active_ex_PLACEHOLDER
* BKE_scene_layer_context_active_PLACEHOLDER
And either use SceneLayer explicitly or replace it by:
* BKE_scene_layer_from_workspace_get
Goal is to make them more modular, to allow more variants (variable
single-color, thickness, ...) to be added without having to
copy-and-change-one-line of whole chain of shaders.
This commit does the main integration of workspaces, which is a design we agreed on during the 2.8 UI workshop (see https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.8/UI/Workshop_Writeup)
Workspaces should generally be stable, I'm not aware of any remaining bugs (or I've forgotten them :) ). If you find any, let me know!
(Exception: mode switching button might get out of sync with actual mode in some cases, would consider that a limitation/ToDo. Needs to be resolved at some point.)
== Main Changes/Features
* Introduces the new Workspaces as data-blocks.
* Allow storing a number of custom workspaces as part of the user configuration. Needs further work to allow adding and deleting individual workspaces.
* Bundle a default workspace configuration with Blender (current screen-layouts converted to workspaces).
* Pressing button to add a workspace spawns a menu to select between "Duplicate Current" and the workspaces from the user configuration. If no workspaces are stored in the user configuration, the default workspaces are listed instead.
* Store screen-layouts (`bScreen`) per workspace.
* Store an active screen-layout per workspace. Changing the workspace will enable this layout.
* Store active mode in workspace. Changing the workspace will also enter the mode of the new workspace. (Note that we still store the active mode in the object, moving this completely to workspaces is a separate project.)
* Store an active render layer per workspace.
* Moved mode switch from 3D View header to Info Editor header.
* Store active scene in window (not directly workspace related, but overlaps quite a bit).
* Removed 'Use Global Scene' User Preference option.
* Compatibility with old files - a new workspace is created for every screen-layout of old files. Old Blender versions should be able to read files saved with workspace support as well.
* Default .blend only contains one workspace ("General").
* Support appending workspaces.
Opening files without UI and commandline rendering should work fine.
Note that the UI is temporary! We plan to introduce a new global topbar
that contains the workspace options and tabs for switching workspaces.
== Technical Notes
* Workspaces are data-blocks.
* Adding and removing `bScreen`s should be done through `ED_workspace_layout` API now.
* A workspace can be active in multiple windows at the same time.
* The mode menu (which is now in the Info Editor header) doesn't display "Grease Pencil Edit" mode anymore since its availability depends on the active editor. Will be fixed by making Grease Pencil an own object type (as planned).
* The button to change the active workspace object mode may get out of sync with the mode of the active object. Will either be resolved by moving mode out of object data, or we'll disable workspace modes again (there's a `#define USE_WORKSPACE_MODE` for that).
* Screen-layouts (`bScreen`) are IDs and thus stored in a main list-base. Had to add a wrapper `WorkSpaceLayout` so we can store them in a list-base within workspaces, too. On the long run we could completely replace `bScreen` by workspace structs.
* `WorkSpace` types use some special compiler trickery to allow marking structs and struct members as private. BKE_workspace API should be used for accessing those.
* Added scene operators `SCENE_OT_`. Was previously done through screen operators.
== BPY API Changes
* Removed `Screen.scene`, added `Window.scene`
* Removed `UserPreferencesView.use_global_scene`
* Added `Context.workspace`, `Window.workspace` and `BlendData.workspaces`
* Added `bpy.types.WorkSpace` containing `screens`, `object_mode` and `render_layer`
* Added Screen.layout_name for the layout name that'll be displayed in the UI (may differ from internal name)
== What's left?
* There are a few open design questions (T50521). We should find the needed answers and implement them.
* Allow adding and removing individual workspaces from workspace configuration (needs UI design).
* Get the override system ready and support overrides per workspace.
* Support custom UI setups as part of workspaces (hidden panels, hidden buttons, customizable toolbars, etc).
* Allow enabling add-ons per workspace.
* Support custom workspace keymaps.
* Remove special exception for workspaces in linking code (so they're always appended, never linked). Depends on a few things, so best to solve later.
* Get the topbar done.
* Workspaces need a proper icon, current one is just a placeholder :)

- Derived-mesh drawing.
- All non UV members of TexFace structs.
MTexPoly is now redundant but keeping with a dummy member,
will check on complete removal later.
TexFace complicates the now more popular shading pipeline by having
per-face images, see: T51382 for details.
To keep the ability to select a per-material edit-image
(used with UV-mapping workflow), the material now stores an image
which will be set when changing images in edit-mode.
This is used as a bake-target when not using Cycles too.
It is not a good idea to:
1. Duplicate metadata to self
2. Ignore the fact that something might have had metadata already.
Also moved metadata copy to a preparation function, so it is
never lost.
This commit fixes crash, but user feedback can be improved here to
inform artist that one can't use Render Result as a texture since that
will cause feedback loop.
Previously, every RenderPass would have a bitfield that specified its type. That limits the number of passes to 32, which was reached a while ago.
However, most of the code already supported arbitrary RenderPasses since they were also used to store Multilayer EXR images.
Therefore, this commit completely removes the passflag from RenderPass and changes all code to use the unique pass name for identification.
Since Blender Internal relies on hardcoded passes and to preserve compatibility, 32 pass names are reserved for the old hardcoded passes.
To support these arbitrary passes, the Render Result compositor node now adds dynamic sockets. For compatibility, the old hardcoded sockets are always stored and just hidden when the corresponding pass isn't available.
To use these changes, the Render Engine API now includes a function that allows render engines to add arbitrary passes to the render result. To be able to add options for these passes, addons can now add their own properties to SceneRenderLayers.
To keep the compositor input node updated, render engine plugins have to implement a callback that registers all the passes that will be generated.
From a user perspective, nothing should change with this commit.

Using geometry shader allows us to get rid of the 'line origin' extra
vertex attribute, which means dashed shader no longer requires fiddling
with those vertex attributes definition, and, most importantly, does not
require anymore special drawing code!
As you can see, this makes code much simpler, and much less verbose,
especially in complex cases.
In addition, changed how dashes are handled, to have two 'modes', a
simple one with single color (using default "color" uniform name), and a
more advanced one allowing more complex and multi-color patterns.
Note that since GLSL 1.2 does not support geometry shaders, a hack was
added for now (which gives solid lines, but at least does not make
Blender crash).
This switches the internal color representation of the eye dropper from display space to linear. Any time a linear color is requested and the color is picked from a linear object, the result is now precise to the bit as the color gets patched through directly. Color space conversion now only happens when a color is picked from non-linear display space objects or when the color is requested to be returned in non-linear space.
In addition, this patch changes the DifferenceMatte node to interpret a tolerance of 0.0 to accept colors that are identical bit by bit, as apposed to simply refusing all colors.
This replaces all direct usage of:
- FIRSTBASE
- LASTBASE
- BASACT
- OBACT
Some usages still remain in legacy utility functions which are called
all over the place.
The issue was caused here by usage of deprecated GL_CURRENT_PROGRAM
which was returning rubbish value.
Now we use imm API and create vertex format prior to immBindProgram.
This made us required to have some sort of state passed from setup
function to actual drawing.
See intern/gawain for the API change. Other files are updated to use the new name. Also updated every call site to the recommended style:
unsigned int foo = VertexFormat_add_attrib(format, "foo", COMP_ ... )
Pretty sure source/blender is now finished, with all legacy matrix calls confined to gpu_matrix.c.
This was the easy part, but doing it first makes the next part much easier. TODO and XXX notes describe what is left.
glMatrixMode is still in place, since the new API does not share this concept of modes. Similar for glOrtho and glFrustum which I'll tackle very soon.
