The logging API was freed before calling wm_autosave_delete that called
BKE_appdir_folder_id_create to get the auto-save location (when the

With this patch true headless OpenGL rendering is now possible on Linux.
It changes the logic of the WITH_HEADLESS build flag.
The headless backend is now always available with regular builds and
Blender will try to fall back to it if it fails to initialize other
backends while in background mode.
The headless backend only works on Linux as EGL is not used on Mac or Windows.
libepoxy does support windows and mac, so this can perhaps be remedied in the future.

Backend initialization needs to be delayed until after the OpenGL context
is created. This worked fine in foreground mode because the OpenGL context
already exists for the window at the point GPU_backend_init_once was called,
but not for background mode.
Create the backend just in time in GPU_context_create as before, and
automatically free it when the last context id discarded. But check if any
GPU backend is supported before creating the OpenGL context.
Ref D15463, D15465
This causes an assert with libepoxy, but was wrong already regardless.
Refactor logic to work as follows:
* GPU_exit() deletes backend resources
* Destroy UI GPU resources with the context active
* Call GPU_backend_exit() after deleting the context

When rendering with headless builds, show an error instead of crashing.
Previously GPU_backend_init was called indirectly from

manager (GPU_backend_init_once), so it's possible to check if the GPU

This evaluator is used in order to evaluate subdivision at render time, allowing for
faster renders of meshes with a subdivision surface modifier placed at the last
position in the modifier list.
When evaluating the subsurf modifier, we detect whether we can delegate evaluation
to the draw code. If so, the subdivision is first evaluated on the GPU using our own
custom evaluator (only the coarse data needs to be initially sent to the GPU), then,
buffers for the final `MeshBufferCache` are filled on the GPU using a set of
compute shaders. However, some buffers are still filled on the CPU side, if doing so
on the GPU is impractical (e.g. the line adjacency buffer used for x-ray, whose
logic is hardly GPU compatible).
This is done at the mesh buffer extraction level so that the result can be readily used
in the various OpenGL engines, without having to write custom geometry or tesselation
shaders.
We use our own subdivision evaluation shaders, instead of OpenSubDiv's vanilla one, in
order to control the data layout, and interpolation. For example, we store vertex colors
as compressed 16-bit integers, while OpenSubDiv's default evaluator only work for float
types.
In order to still access the modified geometry on the CPU side, for use in modifiers
or transform operators, a dedicated wrapper type is added `MESH_WRAPPER_TYPE_SUBD`.
Subdivision will be lazily evaluated via `BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh` which will
create such a wrapper if possible. If the final subdivision surface is not needed on
the CPU side, `BKE_object_get_evaluated_mesh_no_subsurf` should be used.
Enabling or disabling GPU subdivision can be done through the user preferences (under
Viewport -> Subdivision).

Use "filepath" which is the current convention for naming full paths.
- Main use "name" which isn't obviously a file path.
- BlendFileData & FileGlobal used "filename" which is often
used for the name component of a path (without the directory).
Basically, this fixes disappearing previews when editing asset metadata
or performing undo/redo actions.
The preview generation in a background job will eventually modify ID
data, but the undo push was done prior to that. So obviously, an undo
then would mean the preview is lost.
This patch makes it so undo/redo will regenerate the preview, if the preview
rendering was invoked but not finished in the undone/redone state.
The preview flag PRV_UNFINISHED wasn't entirely what we needed. So I had to
change it to a slightly different flag, with different semantics.
Make the snap system consistent with the placement tool and leak-safe.
**Changes:**
- Store `SnapCursorDataIntern` in a `static` variable;
- Initialize (lazily) `SnapCursorDataIntern` only once (for the keymap).
- Move setup members of `V3DSnapCursorData` to a new struct `V3DSnapCursorState`
- Merge `ED_view3d_cursor_snap_activate_point` and `ED_view3d_cursor_snap_activate_plane` into `state = ED_view3d_cursor_snap_active()`
- Merge `ED_view3d_cursor_snap_deactivate_point` and `ED_view3d_cursor_snap_deactivate_plane` into `ED_view3d_cursor_snap_deactive(state)`
- Be sure to free the snap context when closing via `ED_view3d_cursor_snap_exit`

So far all UI lists had to be defined in Python, this makes it possible
to define them in C as well. Note that there is a whole bunch of special
handling for the Python API that isn't there for C. I think most
importantly custom properties support, which currently can't be added
for C defined UI lists.
The upcoming asset view UI template will use this, which needs to be
defined in C.
Adds a new file `interface_template_list.cc`, which at this point is
mostly a dummy to have a place for the `ED_uilisttypes_ui()` definition.
I plan a separate cleanup to move the UI-list template to that file.
Implements a basic, WIP version of the asset list. This is needed to
give the asset view UI template asset reading and displaying
functionality.
See:
* Asset System: Data Storage, Reading & UI Access - https://developer.blender.org/T88184
Especially the asset list internals should change. It uses the
File/Asset Browser's `FileList` API, which isn't really meant for access
from outside the File Browser. But as explained in T88184, it does a lot
of the stuff we currently need, so we (Sybren Stüvel and I) decided to
go this route for now. Work on a file-list rewrite which integrates well
with the asset system started in the `asset-system-filelist` branch.
Further includes:
* Operator to reload the asset list.
* New `bpy.types.AssetHandle.get_full_library_path()` function, which
gets the full path of the asset via the asset-list.
* Changes to preview loading to prevent the preview loading job to run
eternally for asset views. File Browsers have this issue too, but
should be fixed separately.

will be passed on to blender.exe so it'll be a drop

Starting blender.exe on its own will still function as

This patch adds support for AOVs in EEVEE. AOV Outputs can be defined in the
render pass tab and used in shader materials. Both Object and World based
shaders are supported. The AOV can be previewed in the viewport using the
renderpass selector in the shading popover.
AOV names that conflict with other AOVs are automatically corrected. AOV
conflicts with render passes get a warning icon. The reason behind this is that
changing render engines/passes can change the conflict, but you might not notice
it. Changing this automatically would also make the materials incorrect, so best
to leave this to the user.
**Implementation**
The patch adds a copies the AOV structures of Cycles into Blender. The goal is
that the Cycles will use Blenders AOV defintions. In the Blender kernel
(`layer.c`) the logic of these structures are implemented.
The GLSL shader of any GPUMaterial can hold multiple outputs (the main output
and the AOV outputs) based on the renderPassUBO the right output is selected.
This selection uses an hash that encodes the AOV structure. The full AOV needed
to be encoded when actually drawing the material pass as the AOV type changes
the behavior of the AOV. This isn't known yet when the GLSL is compiled.
**Future Developments**
* The AOV definitions in the render layer panel isn't shared with Cycles.
Cycles should be migrated to use the same viewlayer aovs. During a previous
attempt this failed as the AOV validation in cycles and in Blender have
implementation differences what made it crash when an aov name was invalid.
This could be fixed by extending the external render engine API.
* Add support to Cycles to render AOVs in the 3d viewport.
* Use a drop down list for selecting AOVs in the AOV Output node.
* Give user feedback when multiple AOV output nodes with the same AOV name
exists in the same shader.
* Fix viewing single channel images in the image editor [T83314]
* Reduce viewport render time by only render needed draw passes. [T83316]
