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This is often invalid, outdated or misleading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.
The idea is to make include statements more explicit and obvious where the
file is coming from, additionally reducing chance of wrong header being
picked up.
For example, it was not obvious whether bvh.h was refferring to builder
or traversal, whenter node.h is a generic graph node or a shader node
and cases like that.
Surely this might look obvious for the active developers, but after some
time of not touching the code it becomes less obvious where file is coming
from.
This was briefly mentioned in T50824 and seems @brecht is fine with such
explicitness, but need to agree with all active developers before committing
this.
Please note that this patch is lacking changes related on GPU/OpenCL
support. This will be solved if/when we all agree this is a good idea to move
forward.

Some of these values can get quite large and are hard to read, adding this
makes it easy to read them at a glance.

This is a mix of regression and old unsupported configuration.
Regression was caused by some checks added on Blender side which was
checking whether python function returned error or not. This made it
impossible to enable Cycles when running from a file path which can't
be encoded with MBCS codepage.
Non-regression issue was that it wasn't possible to use pre-compiled
CUDA kernels when running from a path with non-ascii multi-byte
characters.
This commit fixes regression and CUDA parts, but OSL still can't be
used from a non-ascii location because it uses non-widechar API to
work with file paths by the looks of it. Not sure we can solve this
just from our side by using some codepage trick (UTF-16?) since even
oslc fails to compile shader when there are non-ascii characters in
the path.
The title says it all actually, the idea is to make Cycles
only requiring Boost via 3rd party dependencies like OIIO
and OSL.
So now there are only few places which still uses Boost:
- Foreach, function bindings and threading primitives.
Those we can easily get rid with C++11 bump (which seems
inevitable sooner or later if we'll want ot use newer
LLVM for OSL),
- Networking devices
There's no quick solution for those currently, but there
are some patches around which improves serialization.

This actually works somewhat now, although viewport rendering is broken and any
kind of network error or connection failure will kill Blender.
* Experimental WITH_CYCLES_NETWORK cmake option
* Networked Device is shown as an option next to CPU and GPU Compute
* Various updates to work with the latest Cycles code
* Locks and thread safety for RPC calls and tiles
* Refactored pointer mapping code
* Fix error in CPU brand string retrieval code
This includes work by Doug Gale, Martijn Berger and Brecht Van Lommel.

This code can't actually be enabled for building and is incomplete, but it's
here because we know we want to support this at some point and there's not much
reason to have it in a separate branch if a simple #ifdef can disable it.
