The goal is to solve confusion of the "All rights reserved" for licensing
code under an open-source license.
The phrase "All rights reserved" comes from a historical convention that
required this phrase for the copyright protection to apply. This convention
is no longer relevant.
However, even though the phrase has no meaning in establishing the copyright
it has not lost meaning in terms of licensing.
This change makes it so code under the Blender Foundation copyright does
not use "all rights reserved". This is also how the GPL license itself
states how to apply it to the source code:
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software ...
This change does not change copyright notice in cases when the copyright
is dual (BF and an author), or just an author of the code. It also does
mot change copyright which is inherited from NaN Holding BV as it needs
some further investigation about what is the proper way to handle it.
This PR uses renderdoc for frame capturing when enabled.
It enabled an easier workflow for frame capturing.
- Capture GPU API calls from test cases
- Capture GPU API calls from background threads
- Capture GPU API calls from background rendering.
Renderdoc is an important GPU debugger used by the Eevee/
Viewport module. Previously we needed to change code in
order to record background rendering, that could on its own
lead to other side-effects.
The integration with renderdoc can be enabled using
`WITH_RENDERDOC=On` compiler option. `GPU_debug_capture_begin`
and `GPU_debug_capture_end` can be added to the section
of the code you want to debug. When running Blender inside
renderdoc this part will automatically be captured.
All GPU test cases are now guarded by these calls. In order
to capture the test cases you need to start the test cases
from renderdoc and the captured GPU API calls will appear
where each capture is a single test case.

The use of wordexp(3) permits arbitrary code execution from manually-crafted
glTF files. See https://github.com/syoyo/tinygltf/issues/368 for more details.
In practice this shouldn't be an issue for Blender since the GlTF data isn't
manually crafted but from the OpenXR runtime (a bit like a driver). But
updating the library to include the fix is not a big deal anyway.
Note that the warning that required the local modification is no longer present upstream since

Paths to vulkan libraries, paths and related components were
hardcoded in the platform cmake file. This patch separates
this by using adding CMake modules for Vulkan and ShaderC.
This change has only been applied to the macOs configuration as
that is currently our main platform for development. Other platforms
will be added during the development of the Vulkan back-end.
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 updates the libraries dependencies for VFX platform 2023, and adds various
new libraries. It also enables Python bindings and switches from static to
shared for various libraries.
The precompiled libraries for all platforms will be updated to these new
versions in the coming weeks.

Vulkan doesn't have a memory allocator builtin. The application should
provide the memory allocator at runtime. Vulkan Memory Allocator is a
widely used implementation.
Vulkan Memory Allocator is a header only implementation, but the using
application should compile a part in a CPP compile unit. The file
`vk_mem_alloc_impl.cc` and `extern_vulkan_memory_allocator` library
is therefore introduced.

- Add CMake checks that ensure supported compiler versions early on.
- Previously GCC per-processor version checks served to exclude
`__clang__`, in some cases this has been replaced by explicitly
excluding `__clang__`. This was needed as CLANG treated some of these
flags differently to GCC, causing the build to fail.

Fix for {T99039}.
The problem was that `AUD_mixdown` and `AUD_mixdown_per_channel` were returning pointers to freed memory.
Two key changes are made:
1. The return value of those functions now simply return a bool as to whether the operation succeeded, instead of an optional error string pointer.
2. The error string buffer is now passed into the function to be filled in case an error occurs. In this way, the onus of memory ownership is unamibiguously on the caller.

terminateMantaflow was never called, this leak is more of a technicality
since it's only called on exit.
Also make Py_Initialize/Py_Finalize optional in Pd:setup/finalize
as it caused Blender to crash, finalizing Python twice.
Add a patch to extern/mantaflow to keep track of changes in Blender
from up-stream.
Manta flow used the `__main__` namespace which it was executed in,
this caused a bug when calculating fluid from Python, which clears
it's `__main__` name-space after execution.
This caused Manta-flows name space to be cleared too.
Resolve this by creating a separate name-space for manta-flow.

When AUDASPACE couldn't find NUMPY, it would disable WITH_PYTHON for
the rest of Blender. Now setting the value globally is only done for
standalone AUDASPACE builds. Now it's possible to build Blender with
AUDASPACE & PYTHON but without NUMPY.
While this isn't an especially important configuration to support,
having Python mysteriously disabled is a hassle to troubleshoot.

Continued improvements to the new C++ based OBJ importer.
Performance: about 2x faster.
- Rungholt.obj (several meshes, 263MB file): Windows 12.7s -> 5.9s, Mac 7.7s -> 3.1s.
- Blender 3.0 splash (24k meshes, 2.4GB file): Windows 97.3s -> 53.6s, Mac 137.3s -> 80.0s.
- "Windows" is VS2022, AMD Ryzen 5950X (32 threads), "Mac" is Xcode/clang 13, M1Max (10 threads).
- Slightly reduced memory usage during import as well.
The performance gains are a combination of several things:
- Replacing `std::stof` / `std::stoi` with C++17 `from_chars`.
- Stop reading input file char-by-char using `std::getline`, and instead read in 64kb chunks, and parse from there (taking care of possibly handling lines split mid-way due to chunk boundaries).
- Removing abstractions for splitting a line by some char,
- Avoid tiny memory allocations: instead of storing a vector of polygon corners in each face, store all the corners in one big array, and per-face only store indices "where do corners start, and how many". Likewise, don't store full string names of material/group names for each face; only store indices into overall material/group names arrays.
- Stop always doing mesh validation, which is slow. Do it just like the Alembic importer does: only do validation if found some invalid faces during import, or if requested by the user via an import setting checkbox (which defaults to off).
- Stop doing "collection sync" for each object being added; instead do the collection sync right after creating all the objects.
Cleanup / Robustness:
This reworking of parser (see "removing abstractions" point above) means that all the functions that were in `parser_string_utils` file are gone, and replaced with different set of functions. However they are not OBJ specific, so as pointed out during review of the previous differential, they are now in `source/blender/io/common` library.
Added gtest coverage for said functions as well; something that was only indirectly covered by obj tests previously.
Rework of some bits of parsing made the parser actually better able to deal with invalid syntax. E.g. previously, if a face corner were a `/123` string, it would have incorrectly treated that as a vertex index (since it would get "hey that's one number" after splitting a string by a slash), instead of properly marking it as invalid syntax.
Added gtest coverage for .mtl parsing; something that was not covered by any tests at all previously.

On Windows/MSVC this gives a minor (~20%) speedup presumably due to a faster float/int formatter. On macOS (Xcode13), this gives a massive speedup, since snprintf that is in system libraries ends up spending almost all the time inside some locale-related mutex lock.
The actual exporter code becomes quite a bit smaller too, since it does not have to do any juggling to support std::string arguments, and the buffer handling code is smaller as well.

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 @howardt opinion on the matter.
- The `noexcept` on the copy constructor of `mpq(2|3)` is being removed.
But according to @JacquesLucke it is not a real problem for now.
I would like to give a huge thanks to @JacquesLucke who helped during this
and pushed me to reduce the duplication further.
