Adding a constant yields quadratic time complexity which can
have quite a big impact on some scenes.
I used the file from T64901 for testing.
In the test file, the time it took to execute `wm_draw_update`
changed from `0.60s` to `0.51s`.

This is a big change that cleanup a lot of confusing code.
- The instancing/batching data buffer distribution in draw_instance_data.c.
- The selection & drawing code in draw_manager_exec.c
- Prety much every non-meshes object drawing (object_mode.c).
Most of the changes are just renaming but there still a chance a typo might
have sneek through.
The Batching/Instancing Shading groups are replace by DRWCallBuffers. This
is cleaner and conceptually more in line with what a DRWShadingGroup should
be.
There is still some little confusion in draw_common.c where some function
takes shgroup as input and some don't.
This is in order to have VAO handled by thoses batches instead of using a
common VAO. Even if the VAO has no importance in these case using a batch
will help when transitioning to Vulkan.
This is in order to create less shading group when using duplis.
Data for dupli objects keep in draw manager state until the source object
changes so retrieval is fast.
Note that this system could be extended to all meshes.
release_texture_slots() and release_ubo_slots() were one hotspot when
drawing taking ~9% of total CPU counters for no reason.
This was because of the loops using GPU_max_textures that was overkill and
slow.
Replace those by a simple 64bit bitwise OR operation.
The wrong transformation was used. Add a new matrix specially for this case.
This also fix the Node texture coordinate that was suffering the same issue.
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This is often invalid, outdated or misleading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.
This makes it possible for engines to ask for batches and only fill their
data after all engine populate functions have run.
This means that, when creating the batches data we already know all the
batches that are needed for this redraw and the needed data.
This allows for less redundant data preparation and better attrib masking.
Ideally, we should run all viewports populate function before executing
the batch construction but this is not the scope of this patch.
Conversion from the old request method will be progressive and both can
coexist (see uses of mesh_create_pos_and_nor()).
This makes is easy to create nested drawcalls that will inherit all the
parents properties. This is usefull if only a few uniforms changes for that
drawcall.
This does not include all the struct and type renaming. Only files were
renamed.
gwn_batch.c/h was fusioned with GPU_batch.c/h
gwn_immediate.c/h was fusioned with GPU_immediate.c/h
gwn_imm_util.c/h was fusioned with GPU_immediate_util.c/h
- 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 commit restores support for Motion Path drawing in 2.8 (as it wasn't ported over
to the new draw engines earlier, and the existing space_view3d/drawanimviz.c code was
removed during the Blender Internal removal).
Notes:
* Motion Paths are now implemented as an overlay (enabled by default).
Therefore, you can turn all of them on/off from the "Overlays" popover
* By and large, we have kept the same draw style as was used in 2.7
Further changes can happen later following further design work.
* One change from 2.7 is that thicker lines are used by default (2px vs 1px)
Todo's:
* There are some bad-level calls introduced here (i.e. the actgroup_to_keylist() stuff).
These were introduced to optimise drawing performance (by avoiding full keyframes -> keylist
conversion step on each drawcall). Instead, this has been moved to the calculation step
(in blenkernel). Soon, there will be some cleanups/improvements with those functions,
so until then, we'll keep the bad level calls.
