There are a few places where DerivedMesh is still used, most notably
when calling the (not yet ported) cloth simulation. There is also still
the use of Object.derivedDeform and Object.derivedFinal. Those places are
marked with a TODO.
Some functions in the editors module were copied to accept Mesh. Those
already had 'mesh' in the name; the copies are suffixed with '__real_mesh'
for easy renaming later when the DM-based functionality is removed.
Non modifying version of `BKE_mesh_validate`, mirrors `DM_is_valid` more
closely. Will be used in port of `mesh_calc_modifiers`
from `DerivedMesh` to `Mesh`.
This modifier still has issues that are not related to this port:
- While editing the deformation mesh, the deformed mesh doesn't update.
This update only happens after exiting edit mode, making editing
cumbersome.
- Binding doesn't work yet. It works fine when binding in master and
loading pre-bound in 2.8. This was also an issue before this port, and
will be investigated separately.
This function creates a Mesh struct with a number of vertices/edges/etc.
It allocates the minimal number of CD layers needed.
Currently not yet used, but will be soon in the upcoming
BKE_new_mesh_from_curve_displist().
This introduces `BKE_mesh_to_bmesh_ex()`, which exposes all of the
`BMeshFromMeshParams` parameters to the caller. This is required to enable
the `calc_face_normal` flag, which is required for the Bevel modifier.
This also introduces `BKE_bmesh_to_mesh()`, which allocates a new `Mesh`,
converts the `BMesh` to it, and returns it. The returned mesh is owned by
the caller.
This commit introduces `EditMeshData`. The fields in this struct are
extracted from `EditDerivedBMesh` into their own struct `EditMeshData`,
which can then also be used by the `Mesh` struct. This allows passing
deformed vertices efficiently to the draw routines.
The modifier code constructs a new Mesh instead of writing to ob->data;
even when ob->data is a CoW copy, it can still be used by different
objects and thus shouldn't be modified by a modifier.
The depsgraph was always created within a fixed evaluation context. Passing
both risks the depsgraph and evaluation context not matching, and it
complicates the Python API where we'd have to expose both which is not so
easy to understand.
This also removes the global evaluation context in main, which assumed there
to be a single active scene and view layer.

For correct results these must have been set already when the depsgraph was
created and evaluated, so all dependencies have appropriate resolutions too.
For particle we no longer backup and restore the viewport particles to avoid
overwriting them during render, as copy-on-write solves this for us. Even
without COW particles seem to work ok.
This also removes the particle simplification options based on camera. This
was never used much and only available in Blender Internal.

This merges changes in internals, runtime-only of existing custom
normals code, which make sense as of themselves, and will make diff of
soc branch easier/lighter to review.
In the details, it mostly changes two things:
* Now, smooth fans (aka MLoopNorSpaceArray) can store either loop
indices, or pointers to BMLoop themselves. This makes sense since in
BMesh, it's relatively easy to get index from a BMElement, but nearly
impracticable to go the other way around.
* First change enforces another, now we cannot rely anymore on `loops`
being NULL in MLoopNorSpace to detect single-loop fans, so we instead
store that info in a new flag.
Again, these are expected to be totally non-functional changes.
When you were using autosmooth to generate some custom normals, and
created empty custom loop normal data, you would go back to an 'all
smooth' shading, cancelling some sharp edges generated by the mesh's
smooth threshold.
Now we will first tag such edges as sharp, such that shading remains the
same. This is not crucial in current master, but it is for clnors
editing gsoc branch!
- NOCHECK -> ALL
- ALL -> MAYBE_ALL
Where 'MAYBE_ALL' checks to see if the mesh has changed.
This is clearer that `BKE_MESH_BATCH_DIRTY_ALL` is dirty and
going to be updated without any guess-work.
2.8x branch added bContext arg in many places,
pass eval-context instead since its not simple to reason about what
what nested functions do when they can access and change almost anything.
Also use const to prevent unexpected modifications.
This fixes crash loading files with shadows,
since off-screen buffers use a NULL context for rendering.
This will allow much finer controll over how we copy data-blocks, from
full copy in Main database, to "lighter" ones (out of Main, inside an
already allocated datablock, etc.).
This commit also transfers a llot of what was previously handled by
per-ID-type custom code to generic ID handling code in BKE_library.
Hopefully will avoid in future inconsistencies and missing bits we had
all over the codebase in the past.
It also adds missing copying handling for a few types, most notably
Scene (which where using a fully customized handling previously).
Note that the type of allocation used during copying (regular in Main,
allocated but outside of Main, or not allocated by ID handling code at
all) is stored in ID's, which allows to handle them correctly when
freeing. This needs to be taken care of with caution when doing 'weird'
unusual things with ID copying and/or allocation!
As a final note, while rather noisy, this commit will hopefully not
break too much existing branches, old 'API' has been kept for the main
part, as a wrapper around new code. Cleaning it up will happen later.

Note that some little parts of code have been dissabled because eval_ctx
was not available there. This should be resolved once DerivedMesh is
replaced.
Currently RNA doesn't give us a good way of accessing singleton layers,
for now expose as a layer list (skin & paint-pask do this too).
Noted in T47811 that this should be changed.
