This patch does not make any difference for a user's POV. But it is a step for adding the occlusion test for snapping functions.
This new function finds the node(aabb) whose projection is closest to a screen coordinate.

Each parameter of the function is copied into the memory stack.
This also brought an improvement in peformance of snapping functions between 5% and 12% in my tests.
- When returning the number of items in a collection use BLI_*_len()
- Keep _size() for size in bytes.
- Keep _count() for data structures that don't store length
(hint this isn't a simple getter).
See P611 to apply instead of manually resolving conflicts.
Now all the fine-tuning is happening using parallel range settings structure,
which avoid passing long lists of arguments, allows extend fine-tuning further,
avoid having lots of various functions which basically does the same thing.
changes in BLI_kdopbvh:
- `BLI_bvhtree_find_nearest_to_ray` now takes is_ray_normalized and scale argument.
- `BLI_bvhtree_find_nearest_to_ray_angle` has been added (use for perspective view).
changes in BLI_bvhutils:
- `bvhtree_from_editmesh_edges_ex` was added.
changes in math_geom:
- `dist_squared_ray_to_seg_v3` was added.
other changes:
- `do_ray_start_correction` is no longer necessary to snap to verts.
- the way in which the test of depth was done before is being simulated in callbacks.
Pass distance argument so its possible to limit the range we get all hits from.
Other changes:
- Use boundbox test before calling callback, avoids redundant calls.
- Remove meaningless return value.
- Add doc string, explaining purpose of this function.
Based on usages so far:
- Split callback worker func in two, 'basic' and 'extended' versions. The former goes back
to the simplest verion, while the later keeps the 'userdata_chunk', and gets the thread_id too.
- Add use_threading to simple BLI_task_parallel_range(), turns out we need this pretty much systematically,
and allows to get rid of most usages of BLI_task_parallel_range_ex().
- Now BLI_task_parallel_range() expects 'basic' version of callback, while BLI_task_parallel_range_ex()
expectes 'extended' version of the callback.
All in all, this should make common usage of BLI_task_parallel_range simpler (less verbose), and add
access to advanced callback to thread id, which is mandatory in some (future) cases.
We cannot use FLT_MAX as initi distance for raycast...
Renamed TRANSFORM_DIST_MAX_RAY to BVH_RAYCAST_DIST_MAX, moved it into BLI_kdopbvh,
and use in RNA raycast callbacks (and all other places using that API).
From recent experience, turns out we often do want to use something else than basic
range of parallelized forloop as control parameter over threads usage, so now BLI func
only takes a boolean, and caller defines best check for its own case.
Gives the usual 10%-30% speedup on affected functions themselves (BLI_bvhtree_overlap() and
BLI_bvhtree_balance()), and about 2% speedup to overall cloth sim e.g. (measured from
main Cloth modifier func).
By default watertight intersections are used,
For callbacks where its not needed,
BLI_bvhtree_ray_cast_ex can be called without the BVH_RAYCAST_WATERTIGHT flag.
Fixes T45286
The callback checks if 2 nodes intersect (not just their AABB).
Advantages:
- theres no need to allocate overlaps which are later ignored.
- expensive intersection tests will run multi-threaded.

shape instead of a brush tool.
The brush cutting tool for hair, while useful, is not very accurate and
often requires rotating the model constantly to get the right trimming
on every side. This makes adjustments to a hair shape a very tedious
process.
On the other hand, making proxy meshes for hair shapes is a common
workflow. The new operator allows using such rough meshes as boundaries
for hair. All hairs that are outside the shape mesh are removed, while
those cutting it at some length are shortened accordingly.
The operator can be accessed in the particle edit mode toolbar via the
"Shape Cut" button. The "Shape Object" must be set first and stays
selected as a tool setting for repeatedly applying the shape.
