When tiled rendering was used the render result was
allocated at the end of every view layer render as
opposite of an intended end of all rendering.
Modify the render_result_end so that it only ensures
pixels are allocated if pixels are actually copied
over.
Goals of this refactor:
* More unified approach to updating everything that needs to be updated
after a change in a node tree.
* The updates should happen in the correct order and quadratic or worse
algorithms should be avoided.
* Improve detection of changes to the output to avoid tagging the depsgraph
when it's not necessary.
* Move towards a more declarative style of defining nodes by having a
more centralized update procedure.
The refactor consists of two main parts:
* Node tree tagging and update refactor.
* Generally, when changes are done to a node tree, it is tagged dirty
until a global update function is called that updates everything in
the correct order.
* The tagging is more fine-grained compared to before, to allow for more
precise depsgraph update tagging.
* Depsgraph changes.
* The shading specific depsgraph node for node trees as been removed.
* Instead, there is a new `NTREE_OUTPUT` depsgrap node, which is only
tagged when the output of the node tree changed (e.g. the Group Output
or Material Output node).
* The copy-on-write relation from node trees to the data block they are
embedded in is now non-flushing. This avoids e.g. triggering a material
update after the shader node tree changed in unrelated ways. Instead
the material has a flushing relation to the new `NTREE_OUTPUT` node now.
* The depsgraph no longer reports data block changes through to cycles
through `Depsgraph.updates` when only the node tree changed in ways
that do not affect the output.
Avoiding unnecessary updates seems to work well for geometry nodes and cycles.
The situation is a bit worse when there are drivers on the node tree, but that
could potentially be improved separately in the future.
Avoiding updates in eevee and the compositor is more tricky, but also less urgent.
* Eevee updates are triggered by calling `DRW_notify_view_update` in
`ED_render_view3d_update` indirectly from `DEG_editors_update`.
* Compositor updates are triggered by `ED_node_composite_job` in `node_area_refresh`.
This is triggered by calling `ED_area_tag_refresh` in `node_area_listener`.
Removing updates always has the risk of breaking some dependency that no
one was aware of. It's not unlikely that this will happen here as well. Adding
back missing updates should be quite a bit easier than getting rid of
unnecessary updates though.

This included is needed for the `ATTR_NONNULL` macro used in the header.
As found in a recent c --> c++ if the includes get ordered in a different order

The original move to c++ that the other commits depended upon had some issues
that should be fixed before committing it again. The issues were reported in
T93797, T93809 and T93798.
We should also find a better rule for not using c-style casts going forward,
although that wouldn't have been reason enough to revert the commits.
Introducing something like a `MEM_new<T>` and `MEM_delete<T>`
function might help with the the most common case of casting the return
type of `MEM_malloc`.
Going forward, I recommend first committing the changes that don't
require converting files to c++. Then convert the shading node files
in smaller chunks. Especially don't mix fairly low risk changes like
moving some simple nodes, with higher risk changes.
In previous Blender version the tile highlight was stored in the
full frame (un-cropped) space. This was changed with the Cycles X
development and now the tiles and render result are always measured
relative to the cropped region.

Previously we would only free animation strip data when doing final
renders. If not doing a final render or simply just playing back videos
in the VSE, we would not free decoders or non VSE cache data from the
strips.
This would lead to memory usage exploding in complex VSE scenes.
Now we instead use the dumb apporach of freeing everything that is not
currently visible.
The related issue which is fixed by this change is the missing noisy
image pass when denoising and border render is used,
Need to allocate passes after the passes has been copied from the
original render result.
Previously this was only loading built-in render passes. Now instead of trying
to load the scene render passes, load whatever passes exist in the cache file.
This includes much improved GPU rendering performance, viewport interactivity,
new shadow catcher, revamped sampling settings, subsurface scattering anisotropy,
new GPU volume sampling, improved PMJ sampling pattern, and more.
Some features have also been removed or changed, breaking backwards compatibility.
Including the removal of the OpenCL backend, for which alternatives are under
development.

Run into it when was re-working tiles in the Cycles X project.
Make sure the storage of highlighted tiles is emptied when the
render is finished or cancelled).
The error is only possible to happen if the engine did not do
something correct, but is still good to deal with such situations
more gracefully.
Should be no visible change on user side.

The idea is to only allocate pixel storage only when there is an actual
data to be written to them.
This moves the code forward a better support of high-res rendering when
pixel storage is not allocated until render engine is ready to provide
pixel data.
Is expected to be no functional changes for neither users no external
engines. The only difference is that the motion and depth passes will
be displayed as transparent for until render engine provides any tile
result (at which point the pixels will be allocated and initialized to
infinite depth).

This patch exposes the Cycles Alembic Procedural through the MeshSequenceCache
modifier in order to use and test it from Blender.
To enable it, one has to switch the render feature set to experimental and
activate the Procedural in the modifier. An Alembic Procedural is then
created for each CacheFile from Blender set to use the Procedural, and each
Blender object having a MeshSequenceCache modifier is added to list of objects
of the right procedural.
The procedural's parameters derive from the CacheFile's properties which are
already exposed in the UI through the modifier, although more Cycles specific
options might be added in the future.
As there is currently no cache controls and since we load all the data at the
beginning of the render session, the procedural is only available during
viewport renders at the moment. When an Alembic procedural is rendered, data
from the archive are not read on the Blender side.
If a Cycles render is not active and the CacheFile is set to use the Cycles Procedural,
bounding boxes are used to display the objects in the scene as a signal that the
objects are not processed by Blender anymore. This is standard in other DCCs.
However this does not reduce the memory usage from Blender as the Alembic data
was already loaded either during an import or during a .blend file read.
This is mostly a hack to test the Cycles Alembic procedural until we have a
better Blender side mechanism for letting renderers load their own geometry,
which will be based on import and export settings on Collections (T68933).

This commit moves the storage of `bDeformGroup` and the active index
to `Mesh`, `Lattice`, and `bGPdata` instead of `Object`. Utility
functions are added to allow easy access to the vertex groups given
an object or an ID.
As explained in T88951, the list of vertex group names is currently
stored separately per object, even though vertex group data is stored
on the geometry. This tends to complicate code and cause bugs,
especially as geometry is created procedurally and tied less closely
to an object.
The "Copy Vertex Groups to Linked" operator is removed, since they
are stored on the geometry anyway.
This patch leaves the object-level python API for vertex groups in
place. Creating a geometry-level RNA API can be a separate step;
the changes in this commit are invasive enough as it is.
Note that opening a file saved in 3.0 in an earlier version means
the vertex groups will not be available.

In this bug report it resulted in rendering animations stopping too early,
but this affected more areas.
After the previous cleanup commit, it becomes clear that frame and ctime
values were mixed up.
Confusingly, BKE_scene_frame_get did not match the frame number as expected by
BKE_scene_frame_set. Instead it return the value after time remapping, which
is commonly named "ctime".
* Rename BKE_scene_frame_get to BKE_scene_ctime_get
* Add a new BKE_scene_frame_get that matches BKE_scene_frame_set
* Use int/float depending if fractional frame is expected
- Multi-thread BKE_mesh_recalc_looptri.
- Add BKE_mesh_recalc_looptri_with_normals,
this skips having to calculate normals for ngons.
Exact performance depends on number of faces, size of ngons and
available CPU cores.
For high poly meshes the isolated improvement to BKE_mesh_recalc_looptri
in my tests was between 6.7x .. 25.0x, with the largest gains seen in
meshes containing ngons with many sides.
The overall speedup for high poly meshes containing quads and triangles
is only ~20% although ngon heavy meshes can be much faster.
For some custom rendering engines it's advantageous not to write the image files to disk.
An example would be a network rendering engine which does it's own image writing.
This feature is only supported when bl_use_postprocess is also disabled, since render
engines can't influence the saving behavior of the sequencer or compositor.
