Functions: refactor virtual array data structures When a function is executed for many elements (e.g. per point) it is often the case that some parameters are different for every element and other parameters are the same (there are some more less common cases). To simplify writing such functions one can use a "virtual array". This is a data structure that has a value for every index, but might not be stored as an actual array internally. Instead, it might be just a single value or is computed on the fly. There are various tradeoffs involved when using this data structure which are mentioned in `BLI_virtual_array.hh`. It is called "virtual", because it uses inheritance and virtual methods. Furthermore, there is a new virtual vector array data structure, which is an array of vectors. Both these types have corresponding generic variants, which can be used when the data type is not known at compile time. This is typically the case when building a somewhat generic execution system. The function system used these virtual data structures before, but now they are more versatile. I've done this refactor in preparation for the attribute processor and other features of geometry nodes. I moved the typed virtual arrays to blenlib, so that they can be used independent of the function system. One open question for me is whether all the generic data structures (and `CPPType`) should be moved to blenlib as well. They are well isolated and don't really contain any business logic. That can be done later if necessary.

* in memory at all. It could just as well be computed on the fly.
*
* Taking a virtual array as parameter instead of a more specific non-virtual type has some
* tradeoffs. Access to individual elements of the individual elements is higher due to function
* call overhead. On the other hand, potential callers don't have to convert the data into the
* specific format required for the function. This can be a costly conversion if only few of the
* elements are accessed in the end.
*
* Functions taking a virtual array as input can still optimize for different data layouts. For
* example, they can check if the array is stored as an array internally or if it is the same
* element for all indices. Whether it is worth to optimize for different data layouts in a
* function has to be decided on a case by case basis. One should always do some benchmarking to
* see of the increased compile time and binary size is worth it.

Geometry Nodes: refactor virtual array system Goals of this refactor: * Simplify creating virtual arrays. * Simplify passing virtual arrays around. * Simplify converting between typed and generic virtual arrays. * Reduce memory allocations. As a quick reminder, a virtual arrays is a data structure that behaves like an array (i.e. it can be accessed using an index). However, it may not actually be stored as array internally. The two most important implementations of virtual arrays are those that correspond to an actual plain array and those that have the same value for every index. However, many more implementations exist for various reasons (interfacing with legacy attributes, unified iterator over all points in multiple splines, ...). With this refactor the core types (`VArray`, `GVArray`, `VMutableArray` and `GVMutableArray`) can be used like "normal values". They typically live on the stack. Before, they were usually inside a `std::unique_ptr`. This makes passing them around much easier. Creation of new virtual arrays is also much simpler now due to some constructors. Memory allocations are reduced by making use of small object optimization inside the core types. Previously, `VArray` was a class with virtual methods that had to be overridden to change the behavior of a the virtual array. Now,`VArray` has a fixed size and has no virtual methods. Instead it contains a `VArrayImpl` that is similar to the old `VArray`. `VArrayImpl` should rarely ever be used directly, unless a new virtual array implementation is added. To support the small object optimization for many `VArrayImpl` classes, a new `blender::Any` type is added. It is similar to `std::any` with two additional features. It has an adjustable inline buffer size and alignment. The inline buffer size of `std::any` can't be relied on and is usually too small for our use case here. Furthermore, `blender::Any` can store additional user-defined type information without increasing the stack size. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D12986

Functions: refactor virtual array data structures When a function is executed for many elements (e.g. per point) it is often the case that some parameters are different for every element and other parameters are the same (there are some more less common cases). To simplify writing such functions one can use a "virtual array". This is a data structure that has a value for every index, but might not be stored as an actual array internally. Instead, it might be just a single value or is computed on the fly. There are various tradeoffs involved when using this data structure which are mentioned in `BLI_virtual_array.hh`. It is called "virtual", because it uses inheritance and virtual methods. Furthermore, there is a new virtual vector array data structure, which is an array of vectors. Both these types have corresponding generic variants, which can be used when the data type is not known at compile time. This is typically the case when building a somewhat generic execution system. The function system used these virtual data structures before, but now they are more versatile. I've done this refactor in preparation for the attribute processor and other features of geometry nodes. I moved the typed virtual arrays to blenlib, so that they can be used independent of the function system. One open question for me is whether all the generic data structures (and `CPPType`) should be moved to blenlib as well. They are well isolated and don't really contain any business logic. That can be done later if necessary.

Geometry Nodes: use virtual arrays in internal attribute api A virtual array is a data structure that is similar to a normal array in that its elements can be accessed by an index. However, a virtual array does not have to be a contiguous array internally. Instead, its elements can be layed out arbitrarily while element access happens through a virtual function call. However, the virtual array data structures are designed so that the virtual function call can be avoided in cases where it could become a bottleneck. Most commonly, a virtual array is backed by an actual array/span or is a single value internally, that is the same for every index. Besides those, there are many more specialized virtual arrays like the ones that provides vertex positions based on the `MVert` struct or vertex group weights. Not all attributes used by geometry nodes are stored in simple contiguous arrays. To provide uniform access to all kinds of attributes, the attribute API has to provide virtual array functionality that hides the implementation details of attributes. Before this refactor, the attribute API provided its own virtual array implementation as part of the `ReadAttribute` and `WriteAttribute` types. That resulted in unnecessary code duplication with the virtual array system. Even worse, it bound many algorithms used by geometry nodes to the specifics of the attribute API, even though they could also use different data sources (such as data from sockets, default values, later results of expressions, ...). This refactor removes the `ReadAttribute` and `WriteAttribute` types and replaces them with `GVArray` and `GVMutableArray` respectively. The `GV` stands for "generic virtual". The "generic" means that the data type contained in those virtual arrays is only known at run-time. There are the corresponding statically typed types `VArray<T>` and `VMutableArray<T>` as well. No regressions are expected from this refactor. It does come with one improvement for users. The attribute API can convert the data type on write now. This is especially useful when writing to builtin attributes like `material_index` with e.g. the Attribute Math node (which usually just writes to float attributes, while `material_index` is an integer attribute).

As a quick reminder, a virtual arrays is a data structure that behaves like an array (i.e. it can be accessed using an index). However, it may not actually be stored as array internally. The two most important implementations of virtual arrays are those that correspond to an actual plain array and those that have the same value for every index. However, many more implementations exist for various reasons (interfacing with legacy attributes, unified iterator over all points in multiple splines, ...). With this refactor the core types (`VArray`, `GVArray`, `VMutableArray` and `GVMutableArray`) can be used like "normal values". They typically live on the stack. Before, they were usually inside a `std::unique_ptr`. This makes passing them around much easier. Creation of new virtual arrays is also much simpler now due to some constructors. Memory allocations are reduced by making use of small object optimization inside the core types. Previously, `VArray` was a class with virtual methods that had to be overridden to change the behavior of a the virtual array. Now,`VArray` has a fixed size and has no virtual methods. Instead it contains a `VArrayImpl` that is similar to the old `VArray`. `VArrayImpl` should rarely ever be used directly, unless a new virtual array implementation is added. To support the small object optimization for many `VArrayImpl` classes, a new `blender::Any` type is added. It is similar to `std::any` with two additional features. It has an adjustable inline buffer size and alignment. The inline buffer size of `std::any` can't be relied on and is usually too small for our use case here. Furthermore, `blender::Any` can store additional user-defined type information without increasing the stack size. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D12986

Functions: refactor virtual array data structures When a function is executed for many elements (e.g. per point) it is often the case that some parameters are different for every element and other parameters are the same (there are some more less common cases). To simplify writing such functions one can use a "virtual array". This is a data structure that has a value for every index, but might not be stored as an actual array internally. Instead, it might be just a single value or is computed on the fly. There are various tradeoffs involved when using this data structure which are mentioned in `BLI_virtual_array.hh`. It is called "virtual", because it uses inheritance and virtual methods. Furthermore, there is a new virtual vector array data structure, which is an array of vectors. Both these types have corresponding generic variants, which can be used when the data type is not known at compile time. This is typically the case when building a somewhat generic execution system. The function system used these virtual data structures before, but now they are more versatile. I've done this refactor in preparation for the attribute processor and other features of geometry nodes. I moved the typed virtual arrays to blenlib, so that they can be used independent of the function system. One open question for me is whether all the generic data structures (and `CPPType`) should be moved to blenlib as well. They are well isolated and don't really contain any business logic. That can be done later if necessary.

*/
Geometry Nodes: refactor virtual array system Goals of this refactor: * Simplify creating virtual arrays. * Simplify passing virtual arrays around. * Simplify converting between typed and generic virtual arrays. * Reduce memory allocations. As a quick reminder, a virtual arrays is a data structure that behaves like an array (i.e. it can be accessed using an index). However, it may not actually be stored as array internally. The two most important implementations of virtual arrays are those that correspond to an actual plain array and those that have the same value for every index. However, many more implementations exist for various reasons (interfacing with legacy attributes, unified iterator over all points in multiple splines, ...). With this refactor the core types (`VArray`, `GVArray`, `VMutableArray` and `GVMutableArray`) can be used like "normal values". They typically live on the stack. Before, they were usually inside a `std::unique_ptr`. This makes passing them around much easier. Creation of new virtual arrays is also much simpler now due to some constructors. Memory allocations are reduced by making use of small object optimization inside the core types. Previously, `VArray` was a class with virtual methods that had to be overridden to change the behavior of a the virtual array. Now,`VArray` has a fixed size and has no virtual methods. Instead it contains a `VArrayImpl` that is similar to the old `VArray`. `VArrayImpl` should rarely ever be used directly, unless a new virtual array implementation is added. To support the small object optimization for many `VArrayImpl` classes, a new `blender::Any` type is added. It is similar to `std::any` with two additional features. It has an adjustable inline buffer size and alignment. The inline buffer size of `std::any` can't be relied on and is usually too small for our use case here. Furthermore, `blender::Any` can store additional user-defined type information without increasing the stack size. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D12986

Functions: refactor virtual array data structures When a function is executed for many elements (e.g. per point) it is often the case that some parameters are different for every element and other parameters are the same (there are some more less common cases). To simplify writing such functions one can use a "virtual array". This is a data structure that has a value for every index, but might not be stored as an actual array internally. Instead, it might be just a single value or is computed on the fly. There are various tradeoffs involved when using this data structure which are mentioned in `BLI_virtual_array.hh`. It is called "virtual", because it uses inheritance and virtual methods. Furthermore, there is a new virtual vector array data structure, which is an array of vectors. Both these types have corresponding generic variants, which can be used when the data type is not known at compile time. This is typically the case when building a somewhat generic execution system. The function system used these virtual data structures before, but now they are more versatile. I've done this refactor in preparation for the attribute processor and other features of geometry nodes. I moved the typed virtual arrays to blenlib, so that they can be used independent of the function system. One open question for me is whether all the generic data structures (and `CPPType`) should be moved to blenlib as well. They are well isolated and don't really contain any business logic. That can be done later if necessary.

Geometry Nodes: refactor virtual array system Goals of this refactor: * Simplify creating virtual arrays. * Simplify passing virtual arrays around. * Simplify converting between typed and generic virtual arrays. * Reduce memory allocations. As a quick reminder, a virtual arrays is a data structure that behaves like an array (i.e. it can be accessed using an index). However, it may not actually be stored as array internally. The two most important implementations of virtual arrays are those that correspond to an actual plain array and those that have the same value for every index. However, many more implementations exist for various reasons (interfacing with legacy attributes, unified iterator over all points in multiple splines, ...). With this refactor the core types (`VArray`, `GVArray`, `VMutableArray` and `GVMutableArray`) can be used like "normal values". They typically live on the stack. Before, they were usually inside a `std::unique_ptr`. This makes passing them around much easier. Creation of new virtual arrays is also much simpler now due to some constructors. Memory allocations are reduced by making use of small object optimization inside the core types. Previously, `VArray` was a class with virtual methods that had to be overridden to change the behavior of a the virtual array. Now,`VArray` has a fixed size and has no virtual methods. Instead it contains a `VArrayImpl` that is similar to the old `VArray`. `VArrayImpl` should rarely ever be used directly, unless a new virtual array implementation is added. To support the small object optimization for many `VArrayImpl` classes, a new `blender::Any` type is added. It is similar to `std::any` with two additional features. It has an adjustable inline buffer size and alignment. The inline buffer size of `std::any` can't be relied on and is usually too small for our use case here. Furthermore, `blender::Any` can store additional user-defined type information without increasing the stack size. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D12986

Before, they were usually inside a `std::unique_ptr`. This makes passing them around much easier. Creation of new virtual arrays is also much simpler now due to some constructors. Memory allocations are reduced by making use of small object optimization inside the core types. Previously, `VArray` was a class with virtual methods that had to be overridden to change the behavior of a the virtual array. Now,`VArray` has a fixed size and has no virtual methods.

Geometry Nodes: refactor array devirtualization Goals: * Better high level control over where devirtualization occurs. There is always a trade-off between performance and compile-time/binary-size. * Simplify using array devirtualization. * Better performance for cases where devirtualization wasn't used before. Many geometry nodes accept fields as inputs. Internally, that means that the execution functions have to accept so called "virtual arrays" as inputs. Those can be e.g. actual arrays, just single values, or lazily computed arrays. Due to these different possible virtual arrays implementations, access to individual elements is slower than it would be if everything was just a normal array (access does through a virtual function call). For more complex execution functions, this overhead does not matter, but for small functions (like a simple addition) it very much does. The virtual function call also prevents the compiler from doing some optimizations (e.g. loop unrolling and inserting simd instructions). The solution is to "devirtualize" the virtual arrays for small functions where the overhead is measurable. Essentially, the function is generated many times with different array types as input. Then there is a run-time dispatch that calls the best implementation. We have been doing devirtualization in e.g. math nodes for a long time already. This patch just generalizes the concept and makes it easier to control. It also makes it easier to investigate the different trade-offs when it comes to devirtualization. Nodes that we've optimized using devirtualization before didn't get a speedup. However, a couple of nodes are using devirtualization now, that didn't before. Those got a 2-4x speedup in common cases. * Map Range * Random Value * Switch * Combine XYZ Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D14628

Functions: refactor virtual array data structures When a function is executed for many elements (e.g. per point) it is often the case that some parameters are different for every element and other parameters are the same (there are some more less common cases). To simplify writing such functions one can use a "virtual array". This is a data structure that has a value for every index, but might not be stored as an actual array internally. Instead, it might be just a single value or is computed on the fly. There are various tradeoffs involved when using this data structure which are mentioned in `BLI_virtual_array.hh`. It is called "virtual", because it uses inheritance and virtual methods. Furthermore, there is a new virtual vector array data structure, which is an array of vectors. Both these types have corresponding generic variants, which can be used when the data type is not known at compile time. This is typically the case when building a somewhat generic execution system. The function system used these virtual data structures before, but now they are more versatile. I've done this refactor in preparation for the attribute processor and other features of geometry nodes. I moved the typed virtual arrays to blenlib, so that they can be used independent of the function system. One open question for me is whether all the generic data structures (and `CPPType`) should be moved to blenlib as well. They are well isolated and don't really contain any business logic. That can be done later if necessary.
