This is mostly to avoid re-compilation when using undo/redo operators.
This also has the benefit to reuse the same GPUShader for multiple materials using the same nodetree configuration.
The cache stores GPUPasses that already contains the shader code and a hash to test for matches.
We use refcounts to know when a GPUPass is not used anymore.
I had to move the GPUInput list from GPUPass to GPUMaterial because it's containing references to the material nodetree and cannot be reused.
A garbage collection is hardcoded to run every 60 seconds to free every unused GPUPass.
ntree_shader_relink_displacement is creating a transient node that does not have a correct original to point to.
In this case we revert to constant uniform.
It should behave like cycles.
Even if not efficient at all, we still do the same create - draw - free process that was done in the old viewport to save vram (maybe not really the case now) and not care about simulation's GPU texture state sync.
For users that means you can tweak shaders in the nodetree and things
are way faster. This is a huge improvement, particularly in
systems that have no shader cache.
From the code perspective it means we are no longer re-compiling the
shader every time a value is tweaked in the UI. We are using uniforms
for those values.
It would be slow to add that many uniforms for all the shaders. So
instead we are using UBO (Uniform Buffer Objects).
This fixes the main issue of T51467. However GWN_shaderinterface_create() still
needs to be improvedi. When opening a .blend all shaders are compiled once, so
optimizing it will bring a measurable impact.
========================================================================
NOTE: This breaks update of Cycles material upon nodetree nodes
tweaking. It will be fixed separately by depsgraph, once tackling T51925
(Animated Eevee values slowdown).
The idea is to make Depsgraph update more granular. The XXX TODO in
rna_nodetree.c will be tackled at that time as well.

This allow specialized shaders to redefine the closure interface to fit their needs.
For instance, Volumetric closure needs to pass more than one vec4 (absorption vec3, scattering vec3, anisotropy float).
- code_generate_fragment : Making sure that shaders uses the new uniforms.
- code_generate_vertex_new : create require attribute based on their names and not their id (see draw_cache_impl_mesh.c).
- add support for ramp textures.
- Unify GPUMaterial creation (world/mesh).
- Support for multiple shader variations (not used for now).
- Convert GPUInputs to DRWUniforms to be used with the draw manager.
- Nodetree Update is not supported. The only way to refresh the shaders is to change render engine.
- Cleanup in GPUPass.
- Add new temporary Node Compatibility type. Compatibility types should be removed in the future.
Object Info node can be useful to give some variation to a single material assigned to multiple instances. This patch adds support for Viewport and BI.

See gpu_shader.c for the main changes.
EXT_geometry_shader4 brought this feature to GL versions < 3.2, but now it's just cluttering up our code.
Soon all platforms will be on version 3.3 so we won't even have to check support at runtime!
- use in/out instead of attribute/varying
- use named output instead of gl_FragColor
- use texture() instead of the multitude of older texture sampling functions
The #if __VERSION__ == 120 paths (needed on Mac) will be removed after we switch to 3.3 core profile.
Part of T49165 (general OpenGL upgrade)
Builtin names staring with gl_ will not be available in core profile. Same with the ftransform function. New matrix API provides the same names minus the gl_ prefix.
Part of T49450
-Remove NPOT check as it should be supported by default with OGL 3.3
-All custom texture creation follow the same path now
-Now explicit texture format is required when creating a custom texture (Non RGBA8)
-Support for arrays of textures

This reverts commit 5aa19be912 and b4a721af69.
Due to postponement of particle system rewrite it was decided to put particle code
back into the 2.8 branch for the time being.
A bit work in progress, currently the following limitations:
- Texture shading only, Material shading will come later
- No UVs subdivision yet
- Always uses active UV and currently changing active UV will
not properly update the viewport.
Well, need to start somewhere :)
A bit tricky, need to pass additional information about what the attribute
is and how to deal with it.
BI path stays unchanged, just to make things simplier for now.
Fixes T48555: Cycles GLSL- Incorrect Vertex Color results from Attribute node
The issue was introduced by a fix for T44713 which only made GLSL
consistent with Cycles.
Now we do have conditional averaging or proper luma weighting based
on whether we're new old old shading system. Not totally ideal but
should work for until we re-design viewport possibly breaking how
Blender Internal does implicit conversion.
This patch supports "Image or Movie" and "Environment map" types of world texture for the viewport.
It supports:
- "View", "AngMap" and "Equirectangular" types of mapping.
- Different types of texture blending (according to BI world render).
- Same color blending as when it lacked textures (but render via glsl).

The Vector Transform node is a useful node which is present in the Cycles renderer.
