Along with the 4.1 libraries upgrade, we are bumping the clang-format
version from 8-12 to 17. This affects quite a few files.
If not already the case, you may consider pointing your IDE to the
clang-format binary bundled with the Blender precompiled libraries.
For example
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver()
{
}
```
becomes
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver() {}
```
Saves quite some vertical space, which is especially handy for
constructors.

This patch fixes hanging unit tests when MetalRT is enabled. It simplifies and fixes the kernel selection logic by baking the MetalRT-specific options into `kernels_md5` rather than expanding out and testing MetalRT bit flags explicitly.
Pull Request #105270
These warnings can reveal errors in logic, so quiet them by checking
if the features are enabled before using variables or by assigning
empty strings in some cases.
- Check CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT is set before use as CMake docs
note that this may be left unset if it's not needed.
- Remove BOOST/OPENVDB/VULKAN references when disable.
- Define INC_SYS even when empty.
- Remove PNG_INC from freetype (not defined anywhere).
This was caused by rB0d73d5c1a2, which releases the scene mutex during kernel
loading. However, the reset mutex was still held, which can cause a deadlock
if another thread tries to reset the session, since it will acquire the
released scene mutex and then wait for the reset mutex.
Turns out there's no point in keeping the reset mutex locked after the delayed
reset section, so now we just release it earlier, which resolves the deadlock.
All kernel specialisation is now performed in the background regardless of kernel type, meaning that the first render will be visible a few seconds sooner. The only exception is during benchmark warm up, in which case we wait for all kernels to be cached. When stopping a render, we call a new `cancel()` method on the device which causes any outstanding compilation work to be cancelled, and we destroy the device in a detached thread so that any stale queued compilations can be safely purged without blocking the UI for longer than necessary.

This change fixes issues with viewport rendering when Metal
GPU backend is used for drawing. This is not a default build
configuration and requires the following tweaks:
- Enable WITH_METAL_BACKEND CMake option (set it to on)
- Use `--gpu-backend metal` command line arguments
It also helps using the `--factory-startup` command line
argument to ensure Eevee is not used (it is not ported and
will crash).
The root of the problem was in the use of glViewport().
It is replaced with the GPU_viewport_size_get_i() which
is supposed to be portable equivalent form the GPU module.
Without this change the viewport size is detected to be 0
which backfired in few places.
The rest of the changes were to make the code more robust
in the extreme conditions instead of asserting or crashing.
Simplified and streamlined GPU resources creation in the
display driver. It was a bit convoluted mix of creation of
the GPU resources and resizing them to the proper size. It
even seemed to be done in the reverse order. Now it is as
simple as "just ensure GPU resources are there for the
given texture or buffer size".
Also avoid division by zero in the tile manager.

It is possible that the image editor redraw happens prior to the
"Loading render kernels" status is reported from status but after
the display driver is created. This will make the image editor to
wait on the scene mutex to update the display pass in the film.
If it happens to be that the kernels are actually to be compiled
then the Blender interface appears to be completely frozen, without
any information line in the image editor.
This change makes it so the amount of time the scene mutex is held
during the kernel compilation is minimal.
It is a bit unideal to unlock and re-lock the scene mutex in the
middle of update, while nested reset mutex is held, but this is
already what is needed for the OptiX denoiser optimization some
lines below. We can probably reduce the lifetime of some locks,
avoiding such potential out-of-order re-locking. Doing so is
outside of the scope of this patch.
The scene update only happens from the single place in the session,
which makes it easy to ensure the kernels are loaded prior the rest
of the scene update.
Not only this change makes it so that the "Loading render kernels"
status appears in the image editor, but also allows to pan and zoom
in the image editor, potentially allowing artists to re-adjust their
point of interest.

The issue here was that PathTraceWork was set up before checking if
any error occurred, and it didn't account for the dummy device so
it called a non-implemented function.
This fix therefore avoids creating PathTraceWork for dummy devices
and checks for device creation errors earlier in the process.
This adds path guiding features into Cycles by integrating Intel's Open Path
Guiding Library. It can be enabled in the Sampling > Path Guiding panel in the
render properties.
This feature helps reduce noise in scenes where finding a path to light is
difficult for regular path tracing.
The current implementation supports guiding directional sampling decisions on
surfaces, when the material contains a least one diffuse component, and in
volumes with isotropic and anisotropic Henyey-Greenstein phase functions.
On surfaces, the guided sampling decision is proportional to the product of
the incident radiance and the normal-oriented cosine lobe and in volumes it
is proportional to the product of the incident radiance and the phase function.
The incident radiance field of a scene is learned and updated during rendering
after each per-frame rendering iteration/progression.
At the moment, path guiding is only supported by the CPU backend. Support for
GPU backends will be added in future versions of OpenPGL.

Leading to excessive memory usage compared to Blender 2.93. There's still
some avoidable memory usage remaining, due to the full float buffer in the
new image editor drawing and not loading the cached EXR from disk in tiles.
Main difficulty was handling multi-image baking and disk caches, which is
solved by associating a unique layer name with each image so it can be
matched when reading back the image from the disk.
Also some minor header changes to be able to use RE_MAXNAME in RE_bake.h.
This cleans up the OpenGL build flags and linking.
It additionally also removes some dead code.
One of these dead code paths is WITH_X11_ALPHA which actually never was
active even with the build flag on. The call to use this was never
called because the default initializer for GHOST was set to have it off
per default. Nothing called this function with a boolean value to enable it.
These cleanups are needed to support true headless OpenGL rendering.
Without these cleanups libepoxy will fail to load the correct OpenGL
Libraries as we have already linked them to the blender binary.

This patch causes the render buffers to be copied to the denoiser
device only once before denoising and output/display is then fed
from that single buffer on the denoiser device. That way usually all
but one copy (from all the render devices to the denoiser device)
can be eliminated, provided that the denoiser device is also the
display device (in which case interop is used to update the display).
As such this patch also adds some logic that tries to ensure the
chosen denoiser device is the same as the display device.

* Const warnings in Hydra iterators.
* Unused variable warnings when building without glog.
* Wrong camera enum comparisons in assert.
* PASS_UNUSED is not a pass type, only for pass offsets.
Stumbled over the `integrate_surface_volume_only_bounce` kernel

Light groups are a type of pass that only contains lighting from a subset of light sources.
They are created in the View layer, and light sources (lamps, objects with emissive materials
and/or the environment) can be assigned to a group.
Currently, each light group ends up generating its own version of the Combined pass.
In the future, additional types of passes (e.g. shadowcatcher) might be getting their own
per-lightgroup versions.
The lightgroup creation and assignment is not Cycles-specific, so Eevee or external render
engines could make use of it in the future.
Note that Lightgroups are identified by their name - therefore, the name of the Lightgroup
in the View Layer and the name that's set in an object's settings must match for it to be
included.
Currently, changing a Lightgroup's name does not update objects - this is planned for the
future, along with other features such as denoising for light groups and viewing them in
preview renders.

This patch adds a Hydra render delegate to Cycles, allowing Cycles to be used for rendering
in applications that provide a Hydra viewport. The implementation was written from scratch
against Cycles X, for integration into the Blender repository to make it possible to continue
developing it in step with the rest of Cycles. For this purpose it follows the style of the rest of
the Cycles code and can be built with a CMake option
(`WITH_CYCLES_HYDRA_RENDER_DELEGATE=1`) similar to the existing standalone version
of Cycles.
Since Hydra render delegates need to be built against the exact USD version and other
dependencies as the target application is using, this is intended to be built separate from
Blender (`WITH_BLENDER=0` CMake option) and with support for library versions different
from what Blender is using. As such the CMake build scripts for Windows had to be modified
slightly, so that the Cycles Hydra render delegate can e.g. be built with MSVC 2017 again
even though Blender requires MSVC 2019 now, and it's possible to specify custom paths to
the USD SDK etc. The codebase supports building against the latest USD release 22.03 and all
the way back to USD 20.08 (with some limitations).

Instead of creating and destroying threads when starting and stopping renders,
keep a single thread alive for the duration of the session. This makes it so all
display driver OpenGL resource allocation and destruction can happen in the same
thread.
This was implemented as part of trying to solve another bug, but it did not
help. Still I prefer this behavior, to eliminate potential future issues wit
graphics drivers or with future Cycles display driver implementations.

engine API (engine.temp_directory).

The root of the issue is caused by Cycles ignoring OpenGL limitation on
the maximum resolution of textures: Cycles was allocating texture of the
final render resolution. It was exceeding limitation on certain GPUs and
driver.
The idea is simple: use multiple textures for the display, each of which
will fit into OpenGL limitations.
There is some code which allows the display driver to know when to start
the new tile. Also added some code to allow force graphics interop to be
re-created. The latter one ended up not used in the final version of the
patch, but it might be helpful for other drivers implementation.
The tile size is limited to 8K now as it is the safest size for textures
on many GPUs and OpenGL drivers.
This is an updated fix with a workaround for freezing with the NVIDIA
driver on Linux.
