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

- 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.

This mean you can store data used for drawing inside the object engine
data.
Also fixes T55243 Crash in ASAN debug builds due to use-after-free memory in draw code - instances issue?
This mimics the behaviour of DRW_shgroup_empty_tri_batch_create and will
replace it eventually.
The advantage is that it's compatible with transform feedback.
This new API aim to provide simple function that can be called by the draw
engines during any phase of the draw pipeline. All calls are saved and
issued after all engines have finished rendering.
This removes the need of setuping special passes and shading groups for some
simple debug drawing.
This is a usefull feature that can be used to do a lot of precomputation on
the GPU instead of the CPU.
Implementation is simple and only covers the most usefull case.
How to use:
- Create shader with transform feedback.
- Create a pass with DRW_STATE_TRANS_FEEDBACK.
- Create a target Gwn_VertBuf (make sure it's big enough).
- Create a shading group with DRW_shgroup_transform_feedback_create().
- Add your draw calls to the shading group.
- Render your pass normaly.
Current limitation:
- Only one output buffer.
- Cannot pause/resume tfb rendering to interleave with normal drawcalls.
- Cannot get the number of verts drawn.
Initial review of the shard shadows in the workbench engine.
Speed optimizations like transform feedback are not implemented yet. I first want this part to be reviewed and merged.
@fclem please check the note in drw_stencil_set it was holding back nequal == 0 as by default DST.stencil_mask was set to 0. questioin is should we remove the whole check or not.
Also I am still looking for a better name (or split the enum) for DRW_STATE_STENCIL_DEPTH_FAIL_INCR_DECR_WRAP

Because:
- Less redundancy.
- Better suffixes.
Also a few modification to GPU_texture_create_* to simplify the API:
- make the format explicit to the texture creation process.
- remove the component count as it's specified in the GPUTextureFormat.
This add a callback function that runs after frustum culling test.
This callback returns the final visibility for this object.
Be aware that it's called for EVERY drawcalls that use this callback even
if their visibility has been cached.
This uniforms can be used to have a unique id for each drawcall of a shgrp.
This only works for standard shgroups and is an exception for the outline
drawing.
Previous approach was not clear enough and caused problems.
UBOs were taking slots and not release them after a shading group even
if this UBO was only for this Shading Group (notably the nodetree ubo,
since we now share the same GPUShader for identical trees).
So I choose to have a better defined approach:
- Standard texture and ubo calls are assured to be valid for the shgrp
they are called from.
- (new) Persistent texture and ubo calls are assured to be valid accross
shgrps unless the shader changes.
The standards calls are still valids for the next shgrp but are not assured
to be so if this new shgrp binds a new texture.
This enables some optimisations by not adding redundant texture and ubo
binds.
This leads to less lookups to the GWNShaderInterface and less uniform upload.
We still keep a legacy path so that Builtin uniforms can still work. We might restrict this path to Builtin shader only in the future.
Also get rid of the static var and initialization.
This enables the user to see the progress on the info header.
Closing blender or reading a file also kill the job which is good.
Unfortunatly, this job cannot be interrupt by users directly. We could make it interruptible but we need a way to resume the compilation.
Instead of creating a new instancing shading group without attrib, we now have instancing calls. The benefits is that they can be culled.
They can be used in conjuction with the standard and generate calls but shader must support it (which is generally not the case).
We store a pointer to the actual count so that the number can be tweaked between redraw.
This will makes multi layer rendering more efficient.
Selection code relies on being able to set the depth functions
however passes have their own depth settings.
Add DRW_state_lock to ignore passes settings for particular flags.
This fixes occlusion queries cycling through objects under the cursor.
This is very efficient and add a pretty low overhead (0.1ms of drawing time for 10K objects passing through all tests, on my i3-4100M).
The like the rest of the DRWCallState, test is "cached" until the view matrices changes.
Refactor include:
- Removal of DRWInterface. (was useless)
- Split DRWCallHeader into a new struct DRWCallState that will be reused in the future.
- Use BLI_link_utils for APPEND/PREPEND.
- Creation of the new DRWManager struct type. This will enable us to create more than one manager in the future.
- Removal of some dead code.
