The title says it all actually, the idea is to make Cycles
only requiring Boost via 3rd party dependencies like OIIO
and OSL.
So now there are only few places which still uses Boost:
- Foreach, function bindings and threading primitives.
Those we can easily get rid with C++11 bump (which seems
inevitable sooner or later if we'll want ot use newer
LLVM for OSL),
- Networking devices
There's no quick solution for those currently, but there
are some patches around which improves serialization.

This is an initial move to have unittests to at least cover
utility functions, which then could be extended further to
test such areas as shader optimization and such.
Currently only based on initial "infrastructure" layout and
writing tests needed to test the no-boost patch.
Note: This patch starts to use "<dir>/<header>.h" notation
for the include statements which i just got used to do in
other projects. Something what would be cool to use globally
in the code eventually.

We've upgraded to Boost-1.60 and MSVC2013 since the workaround
was originally committed. After checks with current compiler and
libraries the original bug is no longer happening.
This will make string comparison much faster in Windows, solving
synchronization bottlenecks of fewzillion objects.
Thanks Martin Felke (aka scorpion81) for the tests!
Unfortunately this doesn't make all tests compilable due
to all sort of weird and wonderful bad levels includes
on Windows (G referenced from bf_blenlib) but at least
allows to selectively build tests for now.
This change the following values:
- World settings:
- Use MIS: On
- MIS Samples: 1
- MIS Resolution: 1024
Enabling World MIS per default won't make simple backgrounds (flat background color) slower,
see previous commit. This gets disabled internally if World MIS is not actually needed.
When World MIS is enabled by the user, we now check if we actually need it.
In case of a simple node setup (no procedurals, no HDRs..) we auto disable MIS internally to save render time.
This change is important for upcoming default changes.
Same causes as when snapping to faces, so same solution: in case of ortho view,
offset start of ray to be just slightly outside of the target's bbox, to avoid
too much far away start point that generate floating point computation instability
in BVH raycasting.
Note that this lead to some refactoring, to avoid duplicating too much of code.
For now, edge snapping seems to behave OK (uses different logic), so not touched.
Based on patch by Germano Cavalcante (@mano-wii), thanks!
When in TweakMode on NLA strips that had an offset, it was not possible to select
those keyframes in the Summary Channel in the Dope Sheet.
The main gist of it is that the current code is from before the summary track was
introduced, and so could assume that ANIM_nla_mapping_get() would work for all channels
present. Thus, simply converting the clicked frame to nla-mapped time once would be
enough. However, for summary channels, nla-mapping_get() doesn't do anything, since
we can potentially include keyframes from several different objects!
Please remember to change those each time you update building code and there is no version change.
Otherwise poeple re-running the script won't get the updated builds.
The value was too high, causing bad Newton iteration step.
Now the value is not so good, but it's still within 9 iterations
and those high number of iterations are only happening in
approx 1% of input values.
Since we're now on 1.7 we can skip building the OSL testsuite. It was giving various compilation errors on different machines and we don't need them anyway...so just disabling them in the script.
The idea is simply to pre-compute fitting and parameterization
in the bssrdf_setup() function and re-use the values in both
sample() and eval().
The only trick is where to store the pre-calculated values and
the answer is inside of ShaderClosure->custom{1,2,3}. There's
no memory bump here because we now simply re-use padding fields
for the pre-calculated values. Similar trick we can do for other
BSDFs.
Seems to give nice speedup up to 7% here on my desktop with
Core i7 CPU, SSE4.1 kernel.
Issue was caused by update RNA callbacks freeing the dependency
graph, which is only needed to tag depsgraph for rebuild.
Solved by using a flag for the depsgraph which indicated that it
is to be rebuilt.
Only happened when rendering second time with OSL enabled.
Was caused by fix for T47201. Hopefully now all the issues
are solved (meaning, we don't keep files opened and don't
crash either).
D1751, remove this library since its quite a specific - only supports an older version of this codec.
Also ffmpeg has added support for recent versions of the codec.
