The depth cache (located in `RegionView3D::depths`) is used for quick
and simple occlusion testing in:
- particle selection,
- "Draw Curve" operator and
- "Interactive Light Track to Cursor" operator,
However, keeping a texture buffer in cache is not a recommended practice.
For displays with high resolution like 8k this represents something
around 132MB.
Also, currently, each call to `ED_view3d_depth_override` invalidates
the depth cache. So that depth is never reused in multiple calls from
an operator (this was not the case in blender 2.79).
This commit allows to create a depth cache and release it in the same
operator. Thus, the buffer is kept in cache for a short time, freeing
up space.
No functional changes.
This patch uses threading to flush selection from verts to edges and
from edges to faces. The solution is lockless and should scale well on
modern CPU architectures.

This resolves a long standing bug in edge selection
(picking, circle, box & lasso).
Now when one of the edges vertices fails to project into screen space,
the edge is clipped by the viewport to calculate an on-screen location
that can be used instead.
This isn't default as it may be important for the on the screen location
not to be clipped by the viewport.
Adds two new output modes to the CDT api which detect and remove
holes. A hole is a face from which a ray shot to the outside
intersects an even number of constraint edges, except we don't
count constraint edges in the same connected region of faces,
where a region is connected via non-constraint edges.
These modes are useful for filling in outlines meant to represent
text characters and the like.
Original patch was from Erik Abrahamsson, modified by me to work
with the "valid Bmesh" output type too. I also added tests
for the new modes.
A different data structure / implementation is used for curves in the
node tree currently. Converting from the DNA `Curve` structure to this
wasn't slow, but it's nice to decrease overhead. In a test of 14000
splines with 128000 points, this halves the runtime from about 5ms
to about 2.5ms.
The spreadsheet filter tried to apply the mesh selection filter on non-
mesh geometry components. Add a check for the component type,
and also refactor the function to be more easily readable.
The normals were broken because the normal calculation mode wasn't set.
This patch adds a default normal mode so all code creating a spline does
not necessarily have to set it manually. In the future there should be a
way to change this value in the node tree.
- Multi-thread BKE_mesh_recalc_looptri.
- Add BKE_mesh_recalc_looptri_with_normals,
this skips having to calculate normals for ngons.
Exact performance depends on number of faces, size of ngons and
available CPU cores.
For high poly meshes the isolated improvement to BKE_mesh_recalc_looptri
in my tests was between 6.7x .. 25.0x, with the largest gains seen in
meshes containing ngons with many sides.
The overall speedup for high poly meshes containing quads and triangles
is only ~20% although ngon heavy meshes can be much faster.
Remove `seq->tmp` usage from transform code. It was used to tag strips
that need to be "shuffled". Pass these strips in `SeqCollection`
instead.

This patch adds support for filtering rows based on rules and values.
Filters will work for any attribute data source, they are a property
of the spreadsheet rather than of the attribute system. The properties
displayed in the row filter can depend on data type of the currently
visible column with that name. If the name is no longer visible, the
row filter filter is grayed out, but it will remember the value until
a column with its name is visible again.
Note: The comments in `screen.c` combined with tagging the sidebar
for redraw after the main region point to a lack of understanding
or technical debt, that is a point to improve in the future.
**Future Improvements**
* T89272: A search menu for visible columns when adding a new filter.
* T89273: Possibly a "Range" operation.

Currently B-Bone scaling can only be controlled via their
properties, thus requiring up to 8 drivers per joint between
B-Bones to transfer scaling factors from the handle bone.
A Scale Easing option is added to multiply the easing value
by the Y scale channels to synchronize them - this produces a
natural scaling effect where both the shape of the curve and
the scale is affected.
In addition, four toggles are added for each handle, which
multiply each of the X, Y, Z and Ease values by the matching
Local Scale channel of the handle bone, thus replacing trivial
drivers. The Scale Easing option has no effect on this process
since it's easy to just enable both Length and Ease buttons.

Implement actual behavior for the B-Bone Y Scale channels added
to DNA and UI in the previous commit in addition to the existing
X and Z Scale inputs.
The two length scale inputs control the ratio between the lengths
of the start and end segments of the bone: although for convenience
two inputs are provided, the whole chain is still uniformly scaled
to fit the curve.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D9870
In addition to the base bone transformation itself, B-Bones have
controls that affect transformation of its segments. For rotation
the features are quite complete, allowing to both reorient the
Bezier handles via properties, and to control them using custom
handle bones. However for scaling there are two deficiencies.
First, there are only X and Y scale factors (actually X and Z),
while lengthwise all segments have the same scaling. The ease
option merely affects the shape of the curve, and does not cause
actual scaling.
Second, scaling can only be controlled via properties, thus
requiring up to 6 drivers per joint between B-Bones to transfer
scaling factors from the handle bone. This is very inefficient.
Finally, the Z channels are confusingly called Y.
This commit adds a B-Bone Y Scale channel and extra B-Bone flag
fields to DNA with appropriate versioning (including for F-Curves
and drivers) in preparation to addressing these limitations.
Functionality is not changed, so the new fields are not used
until the following commits.

Using an ampersand here is more semantically correct. A slash indicates "or" while an ampersand indicates "and".
An ampersand here is best because the view type shows both the Sequencer and the Preview.
When having multiple materials in a mesh the triangles are sorted based
on material index. This sorting is done single threaded, but needs two
loops over the data. One to count the bucket size and the second one to
add the triangles to the right position in the buckets.
This patch will do the counting in a multithreaded approach that would
speed up the cache creation. It has been measured that this part is the
most blocking part of the cache creation.

Regression introduced in rBf6c5af3d4753 I think.
@Severin committing this fix now as this is a fairly critical bug for
the studio, feel free to revert and do proper fix if this one is not the
best solution.
This patch ensures that selection mode flushing updates total selection
counts internally. This reduces recounting when we are sure that the
input total selection counts were up to date.
For example for circle selection the total selection counts were
correct. But during flushing the selection could have been changed and
therefore the selection was always recounted.
This increased the performance on selected system from 6.90 FPS to 8.25
FPS during circle selection operations.
