This patch implements the vector types (i.e:float2) by making heavy
usage of templating. All vector functions are now outside of the vector
classes (inside the blender::math namespace) and are not vector size
dependent for the most part.
In the ongoing effort to make shaders less GL centric, we are aiming
to share more code between GLSL and C++ to avoid code duplication.
Motivations:
- We are aiming to share UBO and SSBO structures between GLSL and C++.
This means we will use many of the existing vector types and others we
currently don't have (uintX, intX). All these variations were asking
for many more code duplication.
- Deduplicate existing code which is duplicated for each vector size.
- We also want to share small functions. Which means that vector functions
should be static and not in the class namespace.
- Reduce friction to use these types in new projects due to their
incompleteness.
- The current state of the BLI_(float|double|mpq)(2|3|4).hh is a bit of a
let down. Most clases are incomplete, out of sync with each others with
different codestyles, and some functions that should be static are not
(i.e: float3::reflect()).
Upsides:
- Still support .x, .y, .z, .w for readability.
- Compact, readable and easilly extendable.
- All of the vector functions are available for all the vectors types and
can be restricted to certain types. Also template specialization let us
define exception for special class (like mpq).
- With optimization ON, the compiler unroll the loops and performance is
the same.
Downsides:
- Might impact debugability. Though I would arge that the bugs are rarelly
caused by the vector class itself (since the operations are quite trivial)
but by the type conversions.
- Might impact compile time. I did not saw a significant impact since the
usage is not really widespread.
- Functions needs to be rewritten to support arbitrary vector length. For
instance, one can't call len_squared_v3v3 in math::length_squared() and
call it a day.
- Type cast does not work with the template version of the math:: vector
functions. Meaning you need to manually cast float * and (float *)[3] to
float3 for the function calls.
i.e: math::distance_squared(float3(nearest.co), positions[i]);
- Some parts might loose in readability:
float3::dot(v1.normalized(), v2.normalized())
becoming
math::dot(math::normalize(v1), math::normalize(v2))
But I propose, when appropriate, to use
using namespace blender::math; on function local or file scope to
increase readability. dot(normalize(v1), normalize(v2))
Consideration:
- Include back .length() method. It is quite handy and is more C++
oriented.
- I considered the GLM library as a candidate for replacement.
It felt like too much for what we need and would be difficult to
extend / modify to our needs.
- I used Macros to reduce code in operators declaration and potential
copy paste bugs. This could reduce debugability and could be reverted.
- This touches delaunay_2d.cc and the intersection code. I would like to
know @Howard Trickey (howardt) opinion on the matter.
- The noexcept on the copy constructor of mpq(2|3) is being removed.
But according to @Jacques Lucke (JacquesLucke) it is not a real problem
for now.
I would like to give a huge thanks to @Jacques Lucke (JacquesLucke) who
helped during this and pushed me to reduce the duplication further.

SVN seems to die randomly *a lot* during
large updates for some users, and I'm no
closer to finding out why that keeps happening.
"The internet" seems to imply some AV vendors
may be at fault here but nothing conclusive.
The solution however is repeatedly running
`svn cleanup`and `svn update` in the library
folder to repair the corruption and finish the
update.
This change adds a small convenience helper
to automate the repair.
This is done inside the make.bat code rather
than the shared python based update code, since
python lives in the library folder and may
or may not exist when this corruption occurs.
This package allows Python scripts to handle compressed blend files (see
rB2ea66af742bc). This is for example needed by Blender Asset Tracer to
send files to a Flamenco render farm.
This change includes a new `WITH_PYTHON_INSTALL_ZSTANDARD` build-time
option, to control whether to actually install the package. For this the
already-existing approach for Requests was copied.

The /Zc:inline flag is by default off in the MSVC
compiler however when you build with msbuild it adds
it to the build flags on its own.
Ninja however does not decide on its own to add
flags you didn't ask for and was building without
this flag.
This change explicitly adds the compiler flag so
msbuild and ninja builds are once more building
with the same build flags leading to smaller .obj
files when building with ninja and lightening the
workload for the linker.
This flag is available starting MSVC 2013 update 2
so does not need to be guarded with version checks.
Compressing blendfiles can help save a lot of disk space, but the slowdown
while loading and saving is a major annoyance.
Currently Blender uses Zlib (aka gzip aka Deflate) for compression, but there
are now several more modern algorithms that outperform it in every way.
In this patch, I decided for Zstandard aka Zstd for several reasons:
- It is widely supported, both in other programs and libraries as well as in
general-purpose compression utilities on Unix
- It is extremely flexible - spanning several orders of magnitude of
compression speeds depending on the level setting.
- It is pretty much on the Pareto frontier for all of its configurations
(meaning that no other algorithm is both faster and more efficient).
One downside of course is that older versions of Blender will not be able to
read these files, but one can always just re-save them without compression or
decompress the file manually with an external tool.
The implementation here saves additional metadata into the compressed file in
order to allow for efficient seeking when loading. This is standard-compliant
and will be ignored by other tools that support Zstd.
If the metadata is not present (e.g. because you manually compressed a .blend
file with another tool), Blender will fall back to sequential reading.
Saving is multithreaded to improve performance. Loading is currently not
multithreaded since it's not easy to predict the access patterns of the
loading code when seeking is supported.
In the future, we might want to look into making this more predictable or
disabling seeking for the main .blend file, which would then allow for
multiple background threads that decompress data ahead of time.
The compression level was chosen to get sizes comparable to previous versions
at much higher speeds. In the future, this could be exposed as an option.

This adds support for building the icons from make.bat

The scripts go out of their way to locate both blender

given a helpful error message telling them how to set

Although some extra help can be given there, if your
normal build is a 2019 full build running
`make 2019 full icons`
will help it find the blender executable as well.
finally if you know the name of your build folder
running
`make builddir build_windows_Lite_x64_vc16_Release icons`
will also work, if all fails you can point directly to
the blender executable by running
`set BLENDER_BIN=c:\where\blender\lives\blender.exe`
before running `make icons` or `make icons_geom`
The python scripts needed some small modifications since
without the PATHEXT, SystemRoot and SystemDrive
environment variables python will not initialize properly
on windows. (Not blender related, even mainline python
won't start without those)
For some reasons looks like those shortcuts could get out of sync, which
created weird hard to understand building errors.
So for sake of simplicity and security, just re-create them all the
time, just like we update ld paths.
For Blender.app: dropping libomp.dylib next to Blender executable is
enough for it getting picked up since `@executable_path` is an rpath.

CMake's rpath option for *build* tree.
For bpy.so, the post build rpath change has also been replaced by CMake
rpath option for *install* tree.
Since -id has been changed in D11748, remove the
`install_name_tool -change ...` command.
Any dylib can just be dropped at `MAC_BLENDER_TARGET_DYLIBS_DIR`
hereafter. Appending dylib path to `CMAKE_BUILD_RPATH` will be needed

This diff somewhat snowballed out of updating OIDN to 1.4.1 it had some

may as well be dragged in soo......anyhow...

OIIO 2.1.15.0 -> 2.2.15.1
OSL 1.11.10.0 -> 1.11.14.1
winflex_bison 2.5.5-> 2.5.24 (ispc needed newer bison, windows only dep)
OIDN 1.4.0 -> 1.4.1
ISPC v1.14.1(random hash for mac/arm) -> v1.16.0
Flex 2.6.4 (ISPC needed newer Flex than available on CentOS 7)
and removes most of the "special arm/mac" versions. I think just ssl and
embree are left with special versions.
