This adds a custom depth test that have the benefits to glitch less and be more visually pleasing.
Downside is that it let the grid pass trough the objects a little.
This effect is done in NDC space so that it counteract the logarithmic depth distribution imprecision (read as it's less visible near the camera but more present far away).
This patch also includes some cleanups.
This required some small changes to the data display shaders so that they match the way the object mode renders them.
Strangely enough, I had to remove the normal attribute from the display code because it was being not bound as soon as I created another rendering call in object mode. The problem may be deeper but I did not have time for this so I derive the normal from the sphere pos.
You can change the amount of samples in the user preferences. You do not need to restart blender to see the effect in the new viewport.
This adds another Multisample Framebuffer and textures (so even more memory required).
It works by blitting the default_fb to the multisample_fb each time the renderer need to render one or more "wire" pass.
It it then blit back to the default_fb so that the rest of pipeline is working as expected.
We COULD lower the GPU memory / bandwidth usage to render everything to the same multisample fbo and change the logic depending on if MSAA is enabled or not, but I think it's a bit too much work for now.
Adds a FXAA for smoothing out the extracted outlines.
The Post Process Anti Aliasing is only done on the Alpha channel of the outlines.
Because of that we need to add bleed the outline color out of the silouhette so the AA'd alpha can blend the right color and not pick black when the alpha is smoothed out of the silhouette.
Also because of the AA needs to have clear contrast to work with, I decided to ditch the "bluring" or the occluded outlines.
The FXAA adds an overhead of 0.17ms but we gain back 0.22ms * 4 = 0.88ms by removing the blur.
The FXAA Implementation is from Corey Richardson (cmr) (D2717). I had to modify it a bit to only filter the alpha channel.
Iterate over invisible objects too, so lamps can still lit the scene.
Also, now you can use a collection to set an object to invisible, not
only to visible.
For example:
Scene > Master collection > bedroom > furniture
Scene > View Layer > bedroom (visible)
> furniture (invisible)
The View Layer has two linked collections, bedroom and furniture.
This setup will make the furniture collection invisible.
Note: Unlike what was suggested on D2849, this does not make collection
visibility influence camera visibility. I will keep this as a separate
patch.

This is in order to use the same texture on multiple sampler.
Also texture counter is reset after each shading group. This mimics the previous behaviour.
We do have an history of those pieces of evil in our code, would be nice
to get fully rid of it, but at the very least let's not add more of them
in new code. :)
Group texture fetches to hide latency. 3.2ms -> 2.2ms (constant time improvement, not depending on scene complexity)
Could optimize further with textureGather (require OpenGL 4.0).
A pointer to the uniform data for the empty drawing was being freed
before the actual draw call, which invalidates the uniform.
This makes the data only be freed after drawing.
We only show object center if object is selected, active or if viewport
has the "All Object Origins" options.
The viewport display options can migrate to renderlayer options.
However, we can mimic 2.7x as a compromise while the final design is
finalized.
We now floor the corner position and use this position as origin.
This gives us perfect derivatives in all cases even if very far from the origin.
Unfortunately this won't fix the low precision of coordinates used for computing the actual grid size, resulting in thick, non-smoothed lines.
Also did a bit of refactor how the axes are drawn.
Do not use the inverse perspective matrix inside the shader to recover world positions.
That leads to severe float imprecision leading to nasty artifacts.
Instead we compute the world view vector for each pixels and do a ray to plane intersection.
We are still getting low precision derivatives when going far away from the origin, and thus artifacts.
This commit also fixes the non-appearing negative Z axis in 3D view.
