Adding a mirror modifier in edit-mode crashed.
Freeing meshes that hold a shallow copy happens in multiple places
while calculating modifiers, making it impractical to clear the
edit-mode pointer before freeing the mesh (as done in
BKE_editmesh_free_derived_caches).
Add a struct member to the edit-mesh struct so evaluated copies
don't free the edit-mesh contents.
Freeing the edit-mesh pointer wasn't free the edit-mesh data it's self.
Unlinking from the outliner or through the Python API leaked memory.
This didn't often cause leaks in practice since ED_editors_exit
exits edit-mode for all objects.
Now freeing mesh data frees the edit-mode data as well,
this matches the behavior of other object types that support edit-mode.
Rename:
- EDBM_mesh_free -> EDBM_mesh_free_data
BKE_editmesh_free -> BKE_editmesh_free_data
Since this doesn't free the edit-mesh pointer.
- BKE_editmesh_free_derivedmesh -> BKE_editmesh_free_derived_caches
Since this no longer uses derived-mesh, match naming for the related
object function BKE_object_free_derived_caches.
Also remove `do_tessellate` argument from BKE_editmesh_create,
since the caller can explicitly do this if it's needed,
with the advantage that it can be combined with normal calculation
which is faster on high-poly meshes.
Support calculating face normals when tessellating. When this is done
before updating vertex normals it gives ~20% performance improvement.
Now vertex normal calculation only needs to perform a single pass on the
mesh vertices when called after tessellation.
Extended versions of normal & looptri update functions have been added:
- BM_mesh_calc_tessellation_ex
- BM_mesh_normals_update_ex
Most callers don't need to be aware of this detail by using:
- BKE_editmesh_looptri_and_normals_calc
- BKE_editmesh_looptri_and_normals_calc_with_partial
- EDBM_update also takes advantage of this,
where calling EDBM_update with calc_looptri & calc_normals
enabled uses the faster normal updating logic.
This patch exposes functionality for performing partial mesh updates
for normal calculation and face tessellation while transforming a mesh.
The partial update data only needs to be generated once,
afterwards the cached connectivity information can be reused
(with the exception of changing proportional editing radius).
Currently this is only used for transform, in the future it could be
used for other operators as well as the transform panel.
The best-case overall speedup while transforming geometry is about
1.45x since the time to update a small number of normals and faces is
negligible.
For an additional speedup partial face tessellation is multi-threaded,
this gives ~15x speedup on my system (timing tessellation alone).
Exact results depend on the number of CPU cores available.

2 sided faces aren't supported and will cause problems in many areas
of Blender's code.
Removing (implied) support for faces with fewer than 3 sides
means the total number of triangles is known ahead of time.
This simplifies adding support for multi-threading and partial updates
to an existing tessellation - as the face and loop indices can be used
to access the range of triangles associated with a face.
Also correct outdated comments.
With constructive + deform modifiers, loop-cut visualization
wasn't following the displayed mesh.
This now gets the coordinates from the cage when available.
This resolves a performance regression in 2.8x where every edit-mode
update performed an edit-mesh to mesh conversion.
Now the conversion will be lazily initialized if/when it's required.
New BKE_mesh_wrapper_* functions abstract over mesh data access.
Currently only edit-mesh and regular meshes are supported.
In the future sub-surface meshes may be supported too.
Note that this is a bit clumsy having both edit-mesh and mesh,
BKE_editmesh_ensure_autosmooth & BKE_editmesh_lnorspace_update
are often called together, these could be made into a single functions.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
This makes the Edit Mesh display settings common to all objects. They can
also be set differently per viewport.
Modifying extra data (seams, sharp edges etc...) will no longer set them
automaticaly visible.
Bumping version because we need to force set all extra draw options for
older files.
This adds initial multi-object editing support.
- Selected objects are used when entering edit & pose modes.
- Selection & tools work on all objects however many tools need porting
See: T54641 for remaining tasks.
Indentation will be done separately.
