Since shader sources are now parsed on demand via `GPUShaderCreateInfo`,
sources are not available to be read via
`GPU_shader_get_builtin_shader_code`.
Currently this results in a crash as the code tries to read `NULL`
pointers.
`GPU_shader_get_builtin_shader_code` was created with the intention of
informing the user how a builtin shader works, thus "replacing"
detailed documentation.
Therefore this function doesn't really have a practical use in an addon.
So, instead of updating the function (which would require several
changes to the gpu module), remove it and improve the documentation.

This is to make the codegen and shading nodes object type agnostic. This
is essential for flexibility of the engine to use the nodetree as it see
fits.
The essential volume attributes struct properties are moved to the
`GPUMaterialAttribute` which see its final input name set on creation.
The binding process is centralized into `draw_volume.cc` to avoid
duplicating the code between multiple engines. It mimics the hair attributes
process.
Volume object grid transforms and other per object uniforms are packed into
one UBO per object. The grid transform is now based on object which simplify
the matrix preparations.
This also gets rid of the double transforms and use object info orco factors
for volume objects.
Tagging @brecht because he did the initial implementation of Volume Grids.
Issue introduced in {rB80859a6cb272}
Only seen on Windows.
The `keyword_parse` lambda function code did not consider `\r` as a
whitespace char, resulting in a wrong parse.
(More investigation needs to be done).
This commit removes all EEVEE specific code from the `gpu_shader_material*.glsl`
files. It defines a clear interface to evaluate the closure nodes leaving
more flexibility to the render engine.
Some of the long standing workaround are fixed:
- bump mapping support is no longer duplicating a lot of node and is instead
compiled into a function call.
- bump rewiring to Normal socket is no longer needed as we now use a global
`g_data.N` for that.
Closure sampling with upstread weight eval is now supported if the engine needs
it.
This also makes all the material GLSL sources use `GPUSource` for better
debugging experience. The `GPUFunction` parsing now happens in `GPUSource`
creation.
The whole `GPUCodegen` now uses the `ShaderCreateInfo` and is object type
agnostic. Is has also been rewritten in C++.
This patch changes a view behavior for EEVEE:
- Mix shader node factor imput is now clamped.
- Tangent Vector displacement behavior is now matching cycles.
- The chosen BSDF used for SSR might change.
- Hair shading may have very small changes on very large hairs when using hair
polygon stripes.
- ShaderToRGB node will remove any SSR and SSS form a shader.
- SSS radius input now is no longer a scaling factor but defines an average
radius. The SSS kernel "shape" (radii) are still defined by the socket default
values.
Appart from the listed changes no other regressions are expected.
Prefer using immVertex3f when 3D shaders are used for 2D rendering due to overhead of vertex padding in hardware. CPU overhead is negligible.

Print it as a "%s" so that possible percentage symbols in the
error message does not cause issues.
Use proper assert (assert(true) is a no-op).
Also use `empty()` instead of `length()`.

color attribute system.
This commit removes sculpt colors from experimental
status and unifies it with vertex colors. It
introduces the concept of "color attributes", which
are any attributes that represents colors. Color
attributes can be represented with byte or floating-point
numbers and can be stored in either vertices or
face corners.
Color attributes share a common namespace
(so you can no longer have a floating-point
sculpt color attribute and a byte vertex color
attribute with the same name).
Note: this commit does not include vertex paint mode,
which is a separate patch, see:

This is because the inheritance is not done before checking if the shader
should be statically compiled. Also some inheritance scheme
might have intermediate permutation that are not compilable.
Metal shading language follows the C++ 14 standard and in some cases requires a greater level of explicitness than GLSL. There are also some small language differences:
- Explicit type-casts (C++ requirements)
- Explicit constant values (C++ requirements, e.g. floating point values using 0.0 instead of 0).
- Metal/OpenGL compatibility paths
- GLSL Function prototypes
- Explicit accessors for vector types when sampling textures.

Adding WITH_METAL option to CMAKE to guard compilation for macOS only. Implemented stub METALBackend to mirror GPUBackend interface and added capabilities initialisation, along with API initialisation paths.
Global rendering coordination commands added to backend with GPU_render_begin and GPU_render_end() commands globally wrapping GPU work. This is required for Metal to ensure temporary resources are generated within an NSAutoReleasePool and freed accordingly.

Some C headers might define the typedefs of the enum themselves.
Even if they are guarded by preprocessor `#if`, our enum preprocessor
has no idea of the validity of the statement. So we just bypass
if there is a typedef just before any `enum` keywords.
Note that the typedef matching is quite fragile.
This uses a StorageBuf as the source of indirect dispatch argument.
The user needs to make sure the parameters are in the right order.
There is no support for argument offset for the moment as there is no
need for it. But this might be added in the future.
Note that the indirect buffer is synchronized at the backend level. This is
done for practical reasons and because this feature is almost always used
for GPU driven pipeline.
This is a faster way to clear a buffer instead of reuploading new data.
It is equivalent to `memset` and runs directly on the GPU.
This is better to clear huge buffers and to avoid the sync cost of data upload.
This adds detection of the maximum number of shader storage buffer
bindings that is supported on the current platform. This can be
useful to turn off features that require compute shaders but use
more buffer bindings than available.

This means textures need to have the number of mipmap levels specified
upfront. It does not mean the data is immutable.
There is fallback code for OpenGL < 4.2.
Immutable storage will enables texture views in the future.
Previously, objects and geometries were mapped between frames
using different hash tables in a way that is incompatible with
geometry instances. That is because the geometry mapping happened
without looking at the `persistent_id` of instances, which is not possible
anymore. Now, there is just one mapping that identifies the same
object at multiple points in time.
There are also two new caches for duplicated vbos and textures used for
motion blur. This data has to be duplicated, otherwise it would be freed
when another time step is evaluated. This caching existed before, but is
now a bit more explicit and works for geometry instances as well.
