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.
For example
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver()
{
}
```
becomes
```
OIIOOutputDriver::~OIIOOutputDriver() {}
```
Saves quite some vertical space, which is especially handy for
constructors.

The C4100 warning is related to unused formal parameters in functions.
Enabling it better aligns with "-Wunused-parameter" option in other
compilers.
While suppressing it with `__pragma(warning(suppress:4100))` is not the
same as using `__attribute__((__unused__))` in GCC or Clang, it is
still preferable to use it over completely hiding the warning.
This ensures consistent warning behavior across compilers and improves
code quality by addressing unused function parameters.
(Note that some warnings in Windows-specific code have already been
silenced in 7fcb262dfd2f48a73f9cf794944ff677c36e3783)

This better aligns with OSX/Linux warnings.
Although `__pragma(warning(suppress:4100))` is not the same as
`__attribute__((__unused__))` in gcc (which only affects the attribute
instead of the line), it still seems to be better to use it than to
hide the warning entirely.
`MEM_delete()` is designed for type safe destruction and freeing, void
pointers make that impossible.
Was reviewing a patch that was trying to free a C-style custom data
pointer this way. Apparently MSVC compiles this just fine, other
compilers error out. Make sure this is a build error on all platforms
with a useful message.
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 issue was introduced in rB78f28b55d39288926634d0cc.
The fix is to use a `std::shared_ptr` to ensure that the `Global` will live
long enough until all `Local` objects are destructed.
Both, the guarded and lockfree allocator, are keeping track of current
and peak memory usage. Even the lockfree allocator used to use a
global atomic variable for the memory usage. When multiple threads
use the allocator at the same time, this variable is highly contended.
This can result in significant slowdowns as presented in D16862.
While specific cases could always be optimized by reducing the number
of allocations, having this synchronization point in functions used by
almost every part of Blender is not great.
The solution is use thread-local memory counters which are only added
together when the memory usage is actually requested. For more details
see in-code comments and D16862.

Seems to be introduced by 99e5024e97f.
The crash is caused by the difference in the expected alignment
of the `uiPopupMenu` which is 16 bytes and the actual alignment
returned by the `MEM_mallocN()` which is 8 bytes due to the memory
head.
Now made it so that `MEM_new()` can be used for types with any
alignment.

This is a more C++ friendly version MEM_calloc_arrayN, like MEM_cnew is for
MEM_callocN. For cases where data structures are still C and Vector or Array
don't work.
Instead of using macros like GLIBC we can use the CMake build
systems internal functions to check if some header or functions are
present on the running system's libc.
Add ./build_files/cmake/have_features.cmake to add checks for
platform features which can be used to set defines for source
files that require them.

We have plenty of sorta generic functions, that allocate memory with
some generic name for debugging. When such a function is called and the
memory leaks, it may be unclear which call to it allocated the unfreed
memory (and thus which execution path leads to the leak).
The added function is only available if `NDEBUG` is not defined.

Simplify logic for freeing a NULL pointer. While no null-pointer
de-reference was performed, this wasn't as so obvious as the pointer
was passed to MEM_lockfree_allocN_len before checking for NULL.
NOTE: T99744 claimed the a NULL pointer free was a vulnerability,
while I can't see evidence for this - exiting early makes it clearer
the memory isn't accessed.
*Details*
- Add MEMHEAD_LEN macro, avoids redundant NULL check.
- Use "UNLIKELY(..)" hint's for error cases
(freeing NULL pointer and checking if `leak_detector_has_run`).
Solved by introducing introducing a variant of MEM_cnew which behaves
as a copy-constructor for a trivial types.
Alternative approach would be to surround DNA structs with clang/gcc
diagnostics push/modify/pop so that implicitly defined constructors
and copy operators are allowed to access deprecated fields.
The downside of the DNA approach is that it will require some way to
easily apply diagnostics modifications to many structs, which is not
possible currently.
The newly added MEM_cnew has other good usecases, so is easiest to
use this route, at least for now.

Use a shorter/simpler license convention, stops the header taking so
much space.
Follow the SPDX license specification: https://spdx.org/licenses

- `./extern/` was left out.

Initialization with `MEM_new()` depends a lot on the initialization rules
of C++, which are not obvious. Calling it with no arguments to be passed
to the constructor may cause the resulting object to be implicitly 0
initialized (or parts of it). This can have an impact on performance
sensitive code, so it's something to document.
Alternatively we could enforce default initialization (as opposed to the
value initalization that happens now), but this could cause
uninitialized memory in a way that isn't obvious either. This is a
possible source of bugs, so Jacques and I decided against it.
This reverts commit aa363ec2ae9382c052f024284dcdb77ac495c177.
The function still exists, this commit caused a warning with Clang
So keep MEM_printmemlist_pydict.
Using the `MEM_*` API from C++ code was a bit annoying:
* When converting C to C++ code, one often has to add a type cast on
returned `void *`. That leads to having the same type name three times
in the same line. This patch reduces the amount to two and removes the
`sizeof(...)` from the line.
* The existing alternative of using `OBJECT_GUARDED_NEW` looks a out
of place compared to other allocation methods. Sometimes
`MEM_CXX_CLASS_ALLOC_FUNCS` can be used when structs are defined
in C++ code. It doesn't look great but it's definitely better. The downside
is that it makes the name of the allocation less useful. That's because
the same name is used for all allocations of a type, independend of
where it is allocated.
This patch introduces three new functions: `MEM_new`, `MEM_cnew` and
`MEM_delete`. These cover the majority of use cases (array allocation is
not covered).
The `OBJECT_GUARDED_*` macros are removed because they are not
needed anymore.

- Nest compositor pages under the compositor module
- Nest GUI, DNA/RNA & externformats modules under Blender.
- Remove modules from intern which no longer exist.
- Add intern modules (atomic, eigen, glew-mx, libc_compat, locale,
numaapi, rigidbody, sky, utfconv).
- Use 'intern_' prefix for intern modules since some of the modules
use generic terms such as locale & atomic.
Add comment explaining `MEM_dupallocN` is NULL-safe, in that it returns
NULL when it receives a NULL pointer. This is currently true for both
implementations of the function (`MEM_lockfree_dupallocN` and
`MEM_guarded_dupallocN`), and will be expected of other implementations
as well.
No functional changes.
All platforms support the proper format string and it's already used in
various other places.
