Metaball, curve, text, and surface objects use the geometry component
system to add evaluated mesh object instances to the dependency graph
"for render engine" iterator. Therefore it is unnecessary to process
those object types in these loops-- it would either be redundant work
or a no-op.
With the ultimate goal of simplifying drawing and evaluation,
this patch makes the following changes and removes code:
- Use `Mesh` instead of `DispList` for evaluated basis metaballs.
- Remove all `DispList` drawing code, which is now unused.
- Simplify code that converts evaluated metaballs to meshes.
- Store the evaluated mesh in the evaluated geometry set.
This has the following indirect benefits:
- Evaluated meshes from metaball objects can be used in geometry nodes.
- Renderers can ignore evaluated metaball objects completely
- Cycles rendering no longer has to convert to mesh from `DispList`.
- We get closer to removing `DispList` completely.
- Optimizations to mesh rendering will also apply to metaball objects.
The vertex normals on the evaluated mesh are technically invalid;
the regular calculation wouldn't reproduce them. Metaball objects
don't support modifiers though, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Eventually we can support per-vertex custom normals (T93551).

This is a complete rewrite of the draw debug drawing module in C++.
It uses `GPUStorageBuf` to store the data to be drawn and use indirect
drawing. This makes it easier to do a mirror API for GPU shaders.
The C++ API class is exposed through `draw_debug.hh` and should be used
when possible in new code.
However, the debug drawing will not work for platform not yet supporting
`GPUStorageBuf`. Also keep in mind that this module must only be used
in debug build for performance and compatibility reasons.
The memory manager includes both a GPUContext-local manager which allocates per-context resources such as Circular Scratch Buffers for temporary data such as uniform updates and resource staging, and a GPUContext-global memory manager which features a pooled memory allocator for efficient re-use of resources, to reduce CPU-overhead of frequent memory allocations.
These Memory Managers act as a simple interface for use by other Metal backend modules and to coordinate the lifetime of buffers, to ensure that GPU-resident resources are correctly tracked and freed when no longer in use.
Note: This also contains dependent DIFF changes from D15027, though these will be removed once D15027 lands.

Removes the following macros for scene/render frame values:
- `CFRA`
- `SUBFRA`
- `SFRA`
- `EFRA`
These macros don't add much, other than saving a few characters when typing.
It's not immediately clear what they refer to, they just hide what they
actually access. Just be explicit and clear about that.
Plus these macros gave read and write access to the variables, so eyesores like
this would be done (eyesore because it looks like assigning to a constant):
```
CFRA = some_frame_nbr;
```

The resource binding were missing from the shading group
(`shgroup->uniform_attrs`), leading to no custom property UBO creation
(`drw_uniform_attrs_pool_update`) when issuing the drawcall,
resulting in a missing UBO bind.
The fix make sure to no duplicate the bindings by creating a simple
shader bind instead of a `GPUMaterial` bind.
Candidate for 3.2.1 corrective release.
This was preventing correct attribute rendering with multiple attributes.
Since the `CurveInfos` struct is used for data sharing between C++ and
GLSL and inside a UBO it needs to obey the `std140` alignment rules which
states that arrays of scalars are padded to the size of `vec4` for each
array entry.
Regression introduced by {rBca37654b6327}. This commit reversed the
order of loading uniforms. The bloom renderpass used the previous
loading order to overwrite an existing uniform (bloomBaseAdd).
Due to the new ordering this doesn't work anymore where the render
pass outputted an image similar to the final image. This was fixed
by loading the correct value for bloomAddBase and remove the rewrite.
Since the occlusion input is going to be removed in EEVEE-Next, I just
added a temporary workaround. The occlusion is passed as SSS radius
as the Specular BSDF does not use it.
The final result matches 3.1 release
On MacOS Eevee cyptomatte shaders fails as it doesn't ignore the `attrib_load`
parameter. I validated that removind the parameter works on Linux/AMD and MacOS
Intel. It could be that there are other platforms that require the dummy parameter.
If this should use a forward declaration and implement an emoty function in the
cryptomatte vertex shader.
This bug was unreported. This was triggering a linking error caused by
the vertex shader not having a local version of `attr_load_temperature_post`
and `attr_load_color_post`.
This adds support to render Curves attributes in EEVEE.
Each attribute is stored in a texture derived from a VBO. As the
shading group needs the textures to be valid upon creation, the
attributes are created and setup during its very creation, instead
of doing it lazily via create_requested which we cannot rely on
anyway as contrary to the mesh batch, we do cannot really tell if
attributes need to be updated or else via some `DRW_batch_requested`.
Since point attributes need refinement, and since attributes are all
cast to vec4/float4 to account for differences in type conversions
between Blender and OpenGL, the refinement shader for points is
used as is. The point attributes are stored for each subdivision level
in CurvesEvalFinalCache. Each subdivision level also keeps track of the
attributes already in use so they are properly updated when needed.
Some basic garbage collection was added similar to what is done
for meshes: if the attributes used over time have been different
from the currently used attributes for too long, then the buffers
are freed, ensuring that stale attributesare removed.
This adds `CurvesInfos` to the shader creation info, which stores
the scope in which the attributes are defined. Scopes are stored
as booleans, in an array indexed by attribute loading order which
is also the order in which the attributes were added to the material.
A mapping is necessary between the indices used for the scoping, and
the ones used in the Curves cache, as this may contain stale
attributes which have not been garbage collected yet.
Common utilities with the mesh code for handling requested
attributes were moved to a separate file.

This was because the main `surface_vert.glsl` was changed to accomodate the
needs of the `ShaderCreateInfo` but was still used by the cryptomatte
shader. The fix is to include the same libraries as the material shaders
and bypass `attrib_load()`.
This was caused by the `mb_data->obmat[]` being wrong because they are
now shared between the particle system and the object.
But Hair need the dupli parent matrix instead of the object matrix.
Disabling `Show Emitter` option fixes the bug.
To avoid this problem, request a different `EEVEE_ObjectMotionData`
for particle systems using a different key pointer in the hash.
This is a bit dirty but there is less code polution using this workaround.

This was caused by the `Closure` members being added to the final contribution
more than once. The workaround is to clear the members once a closure has
been added to the final contribution. I used `inout` on `Closure` inputs
so that the render engine implementation of mix and add closure nodes
can do its own thing. The nodegraph handling of inout was changed for this
to work.
Curve tangent was correctly mistaken with curve normal.
This patch fixes the name of the output in the glsl function and make curve
attributes more explicit (with `curve_` prefix).
This also improve the normal computation by making it per pixel to match
cycles.
Also ports the changes to eevee-next.
This was because the alpha clip thresholding was previously done in the
material nodes codegen. Now it is the responsibility of the engine to
implement it.
This adds a loose uniform that is set by EEVEE itself to control the clip
behavior.
