This cache was never written to, only "copied" between sockets in one
case, it dates back at least a decade. It doesn't make sense to store
caches on node trees directly anyway, since they can be used in
multiple places.
If compositing uses renderlayers, and a camera was missing in the
associated scenes, the error message also referred to the scene the comp
tree was in (not the scene of the renderlayer -- which can potentionally
be different).
This was confusing and is now rectified.

Properly initialize clump curve mapping tables for duplis and other cases
where this was missed by making a generic init/free function instead of
duplicating the same logic in multiple places. Also fold lattice deform
init into this.
When the materal slot index on mesh faces exceeds the number of slots, rendering
would use the last material slot while other operations like baking would fall
back to the default material.
Now consistently use the last material slot in such cases, since preserving
backwards compatibility for rendering seems most important. And if there is
one material slot, it's more useful to use that one rather than falling back
to the default material.
Render stored a shallow copy of the scene view layers and views for thread
safety, without proper functions to free it. But with the CoW depsgraph this
scene is already a copy of the original and an additional copy is not needed.
Refactor to use the scene view layers and some other settings directly instead
of making a copy.
The goal is to improve clarity and readability, without
introducing big design changes.
Follows the recent obmat to object_to_world refactor: the
similar naming is used, and it is a run-time only rename,
meaning, there is no affect on .blend files.
This patch does not touch the redundant inversions. Those
can be removed in almost (if not all) cases, but it would
be the best to do it as a separate change.

Motivation is to disambiguate on the naming level what the matrix
actually means. It is very easy to understand the meaning backwards,
especially since in Python the name goes the opposite way (it is
called `world_matrix` in the Python API).
It is important to disambiguate the naming without making developers
to look into the comment in the header file (which is also not super
clear either). Additionally, more clear naming facilitates the unit
verification (or, in this case, space validation) when reading an
expression.
This patch calls the matrix `object_to_world` which makes it clear
from the local code what is it exactly going on. This is only done
on DNA level, and a lot of local variables still follow the old
naming.
A DNA rename is setup in a way that there is no change on the file
level, so there should be no regressions at all.
The possibility is to add `_matrix` or `_mat` suffix to the name
to make it explicit that it is a matrix. Although, not sure if it
really helps the readability, or is it something redundant.

In T93382, the problem was that the Blender-side rendering code was
still generating the subsurface passes because the old render pass
flags were set, even though Cycles doesn't generate them anymore.
After a closer look, it turns out that the entire hardcoded pass
creation code can be removed. We already have an Engine API function
to query the list of render passes from the engine, so we might as
well just call that and create the returned passes.
Turns out that Eevee already did this anyways. On the Cycles side, it
allows to deduplicate a lot of `BlenderSync::sync_render_passes`.
Before, passes were defined in engine.py and in sync.cpp. Now, all
passes that engine.py returns are created automatically, so sync.cpp
only needs to handle a few special cases.
I'm not really concerned about affecting external renderer addons,
since they already needed to handle the old "builtin passes" in
their Engine API implementation anyways to make them show up in the
compositor. So, unless they missed that for like 10 releases, they
should not notice any difference.

These functions are almost identical, the main difference being
BLI_join_dirfile didn't trim existing slashes when joining paths
however this isn't an important difference that warrants a separate
function.
This commit replaces the `Mesh_Runtime` struct embedded in `Mesh`
with `blender::bke::MeshRuntime`. This has quite a few benefits:
- It's possible to use C++ types like `std::mutex`, `Array`,
`BitVector`, etc. more easily
- Meshes saved in files are slightly smaller
- Copying and writing meshes is a bit more obvious without
clearing of runtime data, etc.
The first is by far the most important. It will allows us to avoid a
bunch of manual memory management boilerplate that is error-prone and
annoying. It should also simplify future CoW improvements for runtime
data.
This patch doesn't change anything besides changing `mesh.runtime.data`
to `mesh.runtime->data`. The cleanups above will happen separately.

This is the conventional way of dealing with unused arguments in C++,
since it works on all compilers.
Regex find and replace: `UNUSED\((\w+)\)` -> `/*$1*/`
This was not properly respected, and in general with multiple passes and layers
it's unclear what this should do exactly without breaking some render passes.
Better to keep this image format for raw unmodified render results.
Because they are friendlier to use in C++ code than the existing mesh
mapping API, these mappings from one domain to another were often
reimplemented in separate files. This commit moves some basic
implementations to a `mesh_topology` namespace in the existing
mesh mapping header file. These is plenty of room for performance
improvement here, particularly by not using an array of Vectors, but
that can come later.

This is required by the Metal backend to perform flushing of temporary objective-C resources. This is implemented as a global autoreleasepool, and is to ensure consistency such that all rendering operations, whether called via events, or via main loop will be within an autoreleasepool.

MTLContext provides functionality for command encoding, binding management and graphics device management. MTLImmediate provides simple draw enablement with dynamically encoded data. These draws utilise temporary scratch buffer memory to provide minimal bandwidth overhead during workload submission.
This patch also contains empty placeholders for MTLBatch and MTLDrawList to enable testing of first pixels on-screen without failure.
The Metal API also requires access to the GHOST_Context to ensure the same pre-initialized Metal GPU device is used by the viewport. Given the explicit nature of Metal, explicit control is also needed over presentation, to ensure correct work scheduling and rendering pipeline state.

This function did multiple things making it difficult to know
what was intended by the caller:
- Directory & file join.
- Expand relative '//' prefix to an optional directory.
- Expand drive letters on windows (guessing with fall-backs).
- Switch slashes to native direction.
This functionality wasn't needed as the full directory was always passed
in, so guessing the drive letter wasn't needed.
If functionality to add drive letters onto paths is needed in the future
a function that only does this can be added.
This patch implements the blur node for the realtime compositor. The patch is
still missing the Variable Size option because it depends on the Erode/Dilate
node, which is yet to be implemented. Furthermore, there are a number of
optimizations that can be implemented, the most important of which is the IIR
implementation of the Fast Gaussian filter, as well as the use of hardware
filtering and thread local memory. The latter of which was attempted but was
not robust enough, so it will be submitted as separate patch.
