There's no need to mix ints and size_t here at all
because all the values fits into integer.
It's unlikely we'll be re-bundling Carve, so didn't
bother with the patchset.
This brings new copyright header which supports GPL2 and 3.
It wasn't really an issue before because we had agreement with
Tobias, but now it's all documented in sources.
There were loads of issues in the code still which are mow likely fixed:
- Hole resolver hook had memory leak -- it didn't free face with holes
when triangulating it.
- Original edge mapping didn't work correct. old code related on the fact
that loop order is not changing when constructing the MeshSet class, but
in fact it does change.
Currently used edge map for this because it was easiest way to do it now,
but after the release we're to change it. Main reason is that face mapping
is not correct as well (and it was never correct actually). So we'll need
to construct Mesh structures by our own to be sure we're using correct
original index mapping.
- Carve might produce faces with ears, which is forbidden in Blender.
it wasn't an issue in old integration because triangulation will remove
the ears. So for now simply added ears removing back as a hook.
But actual reason of the ears is to be investigated really.
This hook will only work for NGons, quads are assumed not be able to
have ears. So this additional hook shouldn't slow down things much.
- Carve's hole resolver produces duplicated faces in some cases. Still not
sure what is the reason of this. Code here is not so much straightforward,
this is to be investigated later.
For now solved the issue as own hole resolver which checks for duplicated
faces after the hole resolving.
The additional checks here will only run if the mesh actually have hole
and wouldn't introduce slowdown for faces which doesn't have holes.
- Made it so if edge user triangulation gets a split (for example, in cases
when this edge intersects with the second operand) it wouldn't be dissolved.
This prevents cases of crappy topology after dissolving in several cases.
- Edge dissolver didn't check for whether edge is a non-manifold. We couldn't
really dissolve open manifold edges.
The bad thing about this is that mesh triangulation might produce non-manifold
edges and they wouldn't be dissolved. Not worst case in the world, but would
be nice to have it solved somehow.
- Exporting mesh form Carve to Blender might have produced duplicated edges
in cases when several non-manifold faces shared the edge. This is also fixed
now.
- Mesh triangulation might have produced duplicated faces, which is really bad.
Fixed by keeping a track on which faces we've created and skipping adding new
triangle if we already have one.
This all might introduce some slowdown, but we're too close to the release now,
so would rather have it slower but robust. After the release we might look into
ways to speed things up.
This commit implements dissolving of edges which were used
to triangulate non-flat faces. This slows things down a bit
(around 5% on heave mesh with all faces triangulated).
We could improve speed of dissolve a bit here (so not a bell
to add an option for triangulation yet).
Also fixed wrong edge origindex mapping.
Goal of this commit is to support NGons for boolean modifier
(currently mesh is being tessellated before performing boolean
operation) and also solve the limitation of loosing edge custom
data layers after boolean operation is performed.
Main idea is to make it so boolean modifier uses Carve library
directly via it's C-API, avoiding BSP intermediate level which
was doubling amount of memory needed for the operation and which
also used quite reasonable amount of overhead time.
Perhaps memory usage and CPU usage are the same after all the
features are implemented but we've got support now:
- ORIGINDEX for all the geometry
- Interpolation of edge custom data (seams, crease)
- NGons support
Triangulation rule is changed now as well, so now non-flat
polygons are not being merged back after Carve work. This is
so because it's not so trivial to support for NGons and
having different behavior for quads and NGons is even more
creepy.

Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D274
Fixes some issues with NaN vertices in special cases.
Also adds edge interpolation routines which are currently
unused but which are requires to implement edge CD interpolation.
Error was caused by boost library (which doesn't seem to be working with Cycles too
when compiling with mingw). Switched mingw to use TR1 unordered collections. Also,
there was re-declaration of strcasecmp when mingw is used.
Additional changes are related on using own process spawning when BF_TOOLSET is set to
mingw. Seems to be working fine now (i've got too long command line error) and no
warning are supressing now (as it was told in comment for commented own process spawning).
==================================
Merging Carve library integration project into the trunk.
This commit switches Boolean modifier to another library which handles
mesh boolean operations in much stable and faster way, resolving old
well-known limitations of intern boolop library.
Carve is integrating as alternative interface for boolop library and
which makes it totally transparent for blender sources to switch between
old-fashioned boolop and new Carve backends.
Detailed changes in this commit:
- Integrated needed subset of Carve library sources into extern/
Added script for re-bundling it (currently works only if repo
was cloned by git-svn).
- Added BOP_CarveInterface for boolop library which can be used by
Boolean modifier.
- Carve backend is enabled by default, can be disabled by WITH_BF_CARVE
SCons option and WITH_CARVE CMake option.
- If Boost library is found in build environment it'll be used for
unordered collections. If Boost isn't found, it'll fallback to TR1
implementation for GCC compilers. Boost is obligatory if MSVC is used.
Tested on Linux 64bit and Windows 7 64bit.
NOTE: behavior of flat objects was changed. E.g. Plane-Sphere now gives
plane with circle hole, not plane with semisphere. Don't think
it's really issue because it's not actually defined behavior in
such situations and both of ways might be useful. Since it's
only known "regression" think it's OK to deal with it.
