Using Texture Arrays to store shadow maps so less texture slots are used when shading. This means a large amount of shadows can be supported.
Support Projection Shadow Map for sun like in old BI/BGE.
Support Cube Shadow Map for Point/Spot/Area lights. the benefit of using it for spot light is that the spot angle does not change shadow resolution (at the cost of more memory used). The implementation of the cubemap sampling is targeted for 3.3 core. We rely on 2D texture arrays to store cubemaps faces and sample the right one manualy. Significant performance improvement can be done using Cubemap Arrays on supported hardware.
Shadows are only hardware filtered. Prefiltered shadows and settings comming next.
This is an auto-generated list, crossing gl-deprecated.h, glew.h and the
Blender code. It allows Blender to build with core profile.
WITH_OPENGL_LEGACY=ON: nothing changes
WITH_OPENGL_LEGACY=OFF and WITH_GL_PROFILE_CORE=OFF:
It stubs deprecated legacy calls.
WITH_OPENGL_LEGACY=OFF and WITH_GL_PROFILE_CORE=ON:
It stubs deprecated legacy calls thus allowing Blender to build with
core profile only.
Technically you only want to use WITH_OPENGL_LEGACY=OFF when
WITH_GL_PROFILE_CORE=ON. But it doesn't hurt to have it working for both
scenarios.

Doing this in a fully 'clean' way is far from obvious, especially
unregister, you often end up leaving nasty 'orphanned' keymap items
referring to unregistered operators...
See gpu_shader.c for the main changes.
EXT_geometry_shader4 brought this feature to GL versions < 3.2, but now it's just cluttering up our code.
Soon all platforms will be on version 3.3 so we won't even have to check support at runtime!
Callers now have to use Gawain's PRIM enum to specify geometric primitives.
This makes the API more bullet-proof (at least less vulnerable) since GLenum covers waaay more than GL_POINTS, GL_LINES, etc.
Also prepares us for Vulkan.
Callers now have to use Gawain's COMP enum to specify vertex attributes.
This makes the API more bullet-proof (at least less vulnerable) since GLenum covers waaay more than component types.
Also prepares us for Vulkan.
Single quads are drawn as a TRIANGLE_FAN, with 4 verts in the same order.
Multiple quads now use PRIM_QUADS_XXX and will need further work. Only 8 places still use this.
Part of T49043
Quads are not part of modern GL or Vulkan, so we should avoid them. XXX makes coders think "hmm how could I draw this without using quads?"
Quads will be removed during the transition to core profile.
Part of T49043
We concatenate #defines and #extensions into these, and can count the max string lengths needed. 256 is enough to hold today's strings; we can adjust later if needed.
When WITH_LEGACY_OPENGL = OFF.
This is our final target for Blender 2.8, all previous versions will be dropped in the future. GLSL 3.3 is richer so we don't require as many extensions.
This seems to happen on Windows only, happened to Thomas and Nathan already.
Similar patch Thomas was showing, but i do not see it committted. So comitting
now in order to get more developers and users happy.
Ever since we merged the extra texture types (half etc) and spit kernel the compile time for cycles_kernel has been going out of control.
It's currently sitting at a cool 1295.762 seconds with our standard compiler (2013/x64/release)
I'm not entirely sure why msvc gets upset with it, but the inlining of matrix near the bottom of the tri-cubic 3d interpolator is the source of the issue, this patch excludes it from being inlined.
This patch bring it back down to a manageable 186 seconds. (7x faster!!)
with the attached bzzt.blend that @sergey kindly provided i got the following results with builds with identical hashes
58:51.73 buildbot
58:04.23 Patched
it's really close, the slight speedup could be explained by the switch instead of having multiple if's (switches do generate more optimal code than a chain of if/else/if/else statements) but in all honesty it might just have been pure luck (dev box,very polluted, bad for benchmarks) regardless, this patch doesn't seem to slow down anything with my limited testing.
