There are deeper issues than just updating the regression test .blend file
and the solution is dragging for far too long.
Considering this a known broken feature, which will either be fixed next week
or completely removed from the interface for the coming release.
E.g. "Cube" would be placed after "Cube.001", which is not what you'd
expect. 2.80 handled this correctly.
Loosely based on D6525 by @radcapricorn, but found a bug in that and
prefered to do some further adjustments.
Also activates test for this case.
Adds tests covering a good amount of common cases and corner cases for
`BLI_strcasecmp_natural()`.
Could of course always add more tests for more cases, but don't want to
spend too much time on this.
Those tests are here mostsly to ensure ID name management is working as
expected (the code ensuring we never have two ilocal data-blocks of the
same type with the same name in a .blend file).
Note: Currently fails in some cases, fixes are incoming.
Note: Ideally this would be in C, but we already have too many tests
linking the whole Blender and its libraries, this is becoming a real
pain to link debug + ASAN + tests build these days... So until we find a
better way to handle those dependencies, sticking to simple python
scripts.
This commit introduces the first version of an exporter to Pixar's
Universal Scene Description (USD) format.

- The USD libraries are built by `make deps`, but not yet built by
install_deps.sh.
- Only experimental support for instancing; by default all duplicated
objects are made real in the USD file. This is fine for exporting a
linked-in posed character, not so much for thousands of pebbles etc.
- The way materials and UV coordinates and Normals are exported is going
to change soon.
- This patch contains LazyDodo's fixes for building on Windows in D5359.
== Meshes ==
USD seems to support neither per-material nor per-face-group
double-sidedness, so we just use the flag from the first non-empty
material slot. If there is no material we default to double-sidedness.
Each UV map is stored on the mesh in a separate primvar. Materials can
refer to these UV maps, but this is not yet exported by Blender. The
primvar name is the same as the UV Map name. This is to allow the
standard name "st" for texture coordinates by naming the UV Map as such,
without having to guess which UV Map is the "standard" one.
Face-varying mesh normals are written to USD. When the mesh has custom
loop normals those are written. Otherwise the poly flag `ME_SMOOTH` is
inspected to determine the normals.
The UV maps and mesh normals take up a significant amount of space, so
exporting them is optional. They're still enabled by default, though.
For comparison: a shot of Spring (03_035_A) is 1.2 GiB when exported
with UVs and normals, and 262 MiB without. We probably have room for
optimisation of written UVs and normals.
The mesh subdivision scheme isn't using the default value 'Catmull
Clark', but uses 'None', indicating we're exporting a polygonal mesh.
This is necessary for USD to understand our normals; otherwise the mesh
is always rendered smooth. In the future we may want to expose this
choice of subdivision scheme to the user, or auto-detect it when we
actually support exporting pre-subdivision meshes.
A possible optimisation could be to inspect whether all polygons are
smooth or flat, and mark the USD mesh as such. This can be added when
needed.
== Animation ==
Mesh and transform animation are now written when passing
`animation=True` to the export operator. There is no inspection of
whether an object is actually animated or not; USD can handle
deduplication of static values for us.
The administration of which timecode to use for the export is left to
the file-format-specific concrete subclasses of
`AbstractHierarchyIterator`; the abstract iterator itself doesn't know
anything about the passage of time. This will allow subclasses for the
frame-based USD format and time-based Alembic format.
== Support for simple preview materials ==
Very simple versions of the materials are now exported, using only the
viewport diffuse RGB, metallic, and roughness.
When there are multiple materials, the mesh faces are stored as geometry
subset and each material is assigned to the appropriate subset. If there
is only one material this is skipped.
The first material if any) is always applied to the mesh itself
(regardless of the existence of geometry subsets), because the Hydra
viewport doesn't support materials on subsets. See
https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/USD/issues/542 for more info.
Note that the geometry subsets are not yet time-sampled, so it may break
when an animated mesh changes topology.
Materials are exported as a flat list under a top-level '/_materials'
namespace. This inhibits instancing of the objects using those
materials, so this is subject to change.
== Hair ==
Only the parent strands are exported, and only with a constant colour.
No UV coordinates, no information about the normals.
== Camera ==
Only perspective cameras are supported for now.
== Particles ==
Particles are only written when they are alive, which means that they
are always visible (there is currently no code that deals with marking
them as invisible outside their lifespan).
Particle-system-instanced objects are exported by suffixing the object
name with the particle's persistent ID, giving each particle XForm a
unique name.
== Instancing/referencing ==
This exporter has experimental support for instancing/referencing.
Dupli-object meshes are now written to USD as references to the original
mesh. This is still very limited in correctness, as there are issues
referencing to materials from a referenced mesh.
I am still committing this, as it gives us a place to start when
continuing the quest for proper instancing in USD.
== Lights ==
USD does not directly support spot lights, so those aren't exported yet.
It's possible to add this in the future via the UsdLuxShapingAPI. The
units used for the light intensity are also still a bit of a mystery.
== Fluid vertex velocities ==
Currently only fluid simulations (not meshes in general) have explicit
vertex velocities. This is the most important case for exporting
velocities, though, as the baked mesh changes topology all the time, and
thus computing the velocities at import time in a post-processing step
is hard.
== The Building Process ==
- USD is built as monolithic library, instead of 25 smaller libraries.
We were linking all of them as 'whole archive' anyway, so this doesn't
affect the final file size. It does, however, make life easier with
respect to linking order, and handling upstream changes.
- The JSON files required by USD are installed into datafiles/usd; they
are required on every platform. Set the `PXR_PATH_DEBUG` to any value
to have the USD library print the paths it uses to find those files.
- USD is patched so that it finds the aforementioned JSON files in a path
that we pass to it from Blender.
- USD is patched to have a `PXR_BUILD_USD_TOOLS` CMake option to disable
building the tools in its `bin` directory. This is sent as a pull
request at https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/USD/pull/1048
This new test class minimally sets up Blender so that it can load blend
files and construct a depsgraph without crashing.
Note that it hasn't been tested on very complex blend files, so it may
still crash when the loaded blend file references/requires uninitialised
data structures.
The test will certainly crash with Blend files created with Blender
older than 2.80, as the versioning code requires space types to be
registered. This is normally done by initialising the window manager,
which is not done in this test. The WM requires Python to run, which in
turn requires that Blender finds the release directory in the same
directory that contains the running executable, which is not the case
for GTest tests (they are written to `bin/tests/executablename`.

This code allows to push a set of different operations all based on
iterations over a range of indices, and then process them all at once
over multiple threads.
This commit also adds unit tests for both old un-pooled, and new pooled
task_parallel_range family of functions, as well as some basic
performances tests.
This is mainly interesting for relatively low amount of individual
tasks, as expected.
E.g. performance tests on a 32 threads machine, for a set of 10
different tasks, shows following improvements when using pooled version
instead of ten sequential calls to BLI_task_parallel_range():

Note: Compared to previous commit yesterday, this reworks atomic handling in
parallel iter code, and fixes a dummy double-free bug.
Now we should only use the two critical values for synchronization from
atomic calls results, which is the proper way to do things.
Reading a value after an atomic operation does not guarantee you will
get the latest value in all cases (especially on Windows release builds
it seems).

This new function is part of the 'parallel for loops' functions. It
takes an iterator callback to generate items to be processed, in
addition to the usual 'process' func callback.
This allows to use common code from BLI_task for a wide range of custom
iteratiors, whithout having to re-invent the wheel of the whole tasks &
data chuncks handling.
This supports all settings features from `BLI_task_parallel_range()`,
including dynamic and static (if total number of items is knwon)
scheduling, TLS data and its finalize callback, etc.
One question here is whether we should provide usercode with a spinlock
by default, or enforce it to always handle its own sync mechanism.
I kept it, since imho it will be needed very often, and generating one
is pretty cheap even if unused...
----------
Additionaly, this commit converts (currently unused)
`BLI_task_parallel_listbase()` to use that generic code. This was done
mostly as proof of concept, but performance-wise it shows some
interesting data, roughly:
- Very light processing (that should not be threaded anyway) is several
times slower, which is expected due to more overhead in loop management
code.
- Heavier processing can be up to 10% quicker (probably thanks to the
switch from dynamic to static scheduling, which reduces a lot locking
to fill-in the per-tasks chunks of data). Similar speed-up in
non-threaded case comes as a surprise though, not sure what can
explain that.
While this conversion is not really needed, imho we should keep it
(instead of existing code for that function), it's easier to have
complex handling logic in as few places as possible, for maintaining and
for improving it.
Note: That work was initially done to allow for D5372 to be possible... Unfortunately that one proved to be not better than orig code on performances point of view.

Problem was twofold
1) `GENERATOR_IS_MULTI_CONFIG` is a property not a variable so
the test for it would always be false, unless you set a custom
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX (like the buildbot does) the unit tests
would have a wrong working directory and complain about missing
dlls or blender executable
2) Tests added outside of `/test` (like libmv) would have no working
folder set since the variable would not be visible for them.
consulted @sergey who voiced the opinion that duplicating the code
to the test macro was slightly less evil than moving it to the main
CMakeLists.txt
The problematic video from T68091 clearly has an invalid stream duration
(it would be 55 centuries long if interpreted at 30 FPS, and given that
it was recorded with an Android 9 device, it's unlikely that recording
started that long ago). I've added a heuristic to check the stream
duration against the container duration; if the stream is more than 4x
longer than the container, Blender now falls back to the container
duration.
We could use MIN(stream duration, container duration), but there might
be video files out there where the container duration is less precise
than the stream duration; they are measured in different units of time
(microseconds for the container vs. frames for the stream).
Includes a unit test for the above heuristic.

The function now allows custom return types defined
by the callbacks. This can be useful when a user of the
data structure has to implement some custom behavior.
This commit adds some new hashing based data structures to blenlib.
All of them use open addressing with probing currently.
Furthermore, they support small object optimization, but it is not
customizable yet. I'll add support for this when necessary.
The following main data structures are included:
**Set**
A collection of values, where every value must exist at most once.
This is similar to a Python `set`.
**SetVector**
A combination of a Set and a Vector. It supports fast search for
elements and maintains insertion order when there are no deletes.
All elements are stored in a continuous array. So they can be
iterated over using a normal `ArrayRef`.
**Map**
A set of key-value-pairs, where every key must exist at most once.
This is similar to a Python `dict`.
**StringMap**
A special map for the case when the keys are strings. This case is
fairly common and allows for some optimizations. Most importantly,
many unnecessary allocations can be avoided by storing strings in
a single buffer. Furthermore, the interface of this class uses
`StringRef` to avoid unnecessary conversions.
This commit is a continuation of rB369d5e8ad2bb7.
These two data structures reference strings somewhere in memory.
They do not own the referenced string. The string is considered
const.
A string referenced by StringRefNull can be expected to be
null-terminated. That is not the case for StringRef.
This commit is a continuation of rB369d5e8ad2bb7c2.
Many generic C++ data structures have been developed in the
functions branch. This commit merges a first chunk of them into
master. The following new data structures are included:
Array: Owns a memory buffer with a fixed size. It is different
from std::array in that the size is not part of the type.
ArrayRef: References an array owned by someone else. All elements
in the referenced array are considered to be const. This should
be the preferred parameter type for functions that take arrays
as input.
MutableArrayRef: References an array owned by someone else. The
elements in the referenced array can be changed.
IndexRange: Specifies a continuous range of integers with a start
and end index.
IntrusiveListBaseWrapper: A utility class that allows iterating
over ListBase instances where the prev and next pointer are
stored in the objects directly.
Stack: A stack implemented on top of a vector.
Vector: An array that can grow dynamically.
Allocators: Three allocator types are included that can be used
by the container types to support different use cases.
The Stack and Vector support small object optimization. So when
the amount of elements in them is below a certain threshold, no
memory allocation is performed.
Additionally, most methods have unit tests.
I'm merging this without normal code review, after I checked the
code roughly with Sergey, and after we talked about it with Brecht.
Currently unused, but will allow to keep of an owner of the depsgraph.
Could also simplify other APIs in the future by avoiding to pass bmain
explicitly to relation update functions and things like that.
Blender can only be run correctly from the install path since it requires Python
scripts, dynamic libraries and other files to be present. By default the install
path is the same as the build path, so it works anyway. But on the buildbot it
isn't. There was a workaround but it failed on Windows and macOS.
Now tests run from the install path. Detecting that path for ctest is more
complicated than I would like, but I couldn't find a better solution.
Ref T69541.
Bugs were: (1) needed an epsilon test in CCW test in order to
handle new costraint edge that intersects an existing point
but only within epsilon; (2) the "valid bmesh" output mode
sometimes left a face that included outside frame point.
- Remove use_screen_refraction as it conflict with SSR and SSS
- Increase GTAO distance
- Add a simple lightprobe setup that works well in most cases
- Enable soft shadows
Baking the lightprobes adds some overhead to the test time (+33%).

The most common use of the text editor seems to be for scripting. Having
line numbers and syntax highlighting enabled by default seems sensible.
Syntax highlighting is now enabled by default, but is automatically
disabled when the datablock has a non-highlighted extension.
Highlighting is enabled for filenames like:
- Text
- Text.001
- somefile.py
and is automatically disabled when the datablock has an extension for
which Blender has no syntax highlighter registered.
