This version fixes various bugs, and there is no need anymore to use both
9.1 and 10.0 for different cards.
There is a bug related to WITH_CYCLES_CUBIN_COMPILER and bump mapping in the
regression tests, so that remains disabled same as it was for CUDA 10.0.
Fix T59286: CUDA bake failing on some cards.
Fix T56858: CUDA 9.2 and 10 issues.
Note that this is turned off by default and must be enabled at build time with the CMake WITH_CYCLES_EMBREE flag.
Embree must be built as a static library with ray masking turned on, the `make deps` scripts have been updated accordingly.
There, Embree is off by default too and must be enabled with the WITH_EMBREE flag.
Using Embree allows for much faster rendering of deformation motion blur while reducing the memory footprint.
TODO: GPU implementation, deduplication of data, leveraging more of Embrees features (e.g. tessellation cache).

This is in preparation of upgrading our library dependencies, some of which
need C++11. We already use C++11 in blender2.8 and for Windows and macOS, so
this just affects Linux.
On many distributions this will not require any changes, on some
install_deps.sh will need to be run again to rebuild libraries.

This commit contains the minimum to make clang build/work with blender, asan and ninja build support is forthcoming
Things to note:
1) Builds and runs, and is able to pass all tests (except for the freestyle_stroke_material.blend test which was broken at that time for all platforms by the looks of it)
2) It's slightly faster than msvc when using cycles. (time in seconds, on an i7-3370)

3) clang on windows uses a drop in replacement for the Microsoft cl.exe (takes some of the Microsoft parameters, but not all, and takes some of the clang parameters but not all) and uses ms headers + libraries + linker, so you still need visual studio installed and will use our existing vc14 svn libs.
4) X64 only currently, X86 builds but crashes on startup.
5) Tested with llvm/clang 6.0.0
6) Requires visual studio integration, available at https://github.com/LazyDodo/llvm-vs2017-integration
7) The Microsoft compiler spawns a few copies of cl in parallel to get faster build times, clang doesn't, so the build time is 3-4x slower than with msvc.
8) No openmp support yet. Have not looked at this much, the binary distribution of clang doesn't seem to include it on windows.
9) No ASAN support yet, some of the sanitizers can be made to work, but it was decided to leave support out of this commit.

nvcc is very picky regarding compiler versions, severely limiting the compiler we can use, this commit adds a nvrtc based compiler that'll allow us to build the cubins even if the host compiler is unsupported. for details see D2913.

Empty BVH nodes are set to NaN which must be preserved all the way to the
tnear <= tfar test which can then give false for empty nodes. This needs
strict semantices and careful argument ordering for min() and max(), so
the second argument is used if either of the arguments is NaN.
Fixes T52635: crash in BVH traversal with SSE4.1.

The issue was apparently caused by -fno-finite-math-only added to kernel.cpp
CFLAGS. For now just removed this flag from the kernel (we don't really want
it there at this point, and we don't have it for SSE/AVX optimized kernels).
But surely more investigation is needed here.
This allows us to use faster math and still have reliable
isnan/isfinite tests.
Only do it for host side, kernels stays unchanged.
Thanks Lukas Stockner for the tip!
This is important for the reliable behavior or isnan/isfinite/min/max
functions to work with nan and non-finite values. Some of the issues
with fast math are possible to work around, but didn't find a way to
have reliable min/max implementation yet.
Enables Catmull-Clark subdivision meshes with support for creases and attribute
subdivision. Still waiting on OpenSubdiv to fully support face varying
interpolation for subdividing uv coordinates tho. Also there may be some
inconsistencies with Blender's subdivision which will be resolved at a
later time.
Code for reading patch tables and creating patch maps is borrowed
from OpenSubdiv.

This seems quite useful for the development, so you don't need to wait
all the kernels to be re-compiled when working on a new feature, which
speeds up re-iteration.
Marked as an advanced option, so if it doesn't work so well in practice
it's safe to revert anyway.
It's not really handy to silence something unused hoping for it'll be
used in the future. We can end up with quite some silencing then.
Also made this flag which i find rather useless to NOT cause -Werror
in Cycles code.
We don't have vectors re-allocation happening multiple times from inside
a loop anymore, so we can safely switch to a memory guarded allocator for
vectors and keep track on the memory usage at various stages of rendering.
Additionally, when building from inside Blender repository, Cycles will
use Blender's guarded allocator, so actual memory usage will be displayed
in the Space Info header.
There are couple of tricky aspects of the patch:
- TaskScheduler::exit() now explicitly frees memory used by `threads`.
This is needed because `threads` is a static member which destructor
isn't getting called on Blender's exit which caused memory leak print
to happen.
This shouldn't give any measurable speed issues, reallocation of that
vector is only one of fewzillion other allocations happening during
synchronization.
- Use regular guarded malloc (not aligned one). No idea why it was
made to be aligned in the first place. Perhaps some corner case tests
or so. Vector was never expected to be aligned anyway. Let's see if
we'll have actual bugs with this.

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.

Seems i was the only one who was really up to using it and
i do have gcc-5 finally backported and installed here so
such a fine-tune flags are no longer needed.
Should be no functional changes at all, just speeds up re-compilation
when some features needs to be disabled for development purposes.
For example, when running lots of Valgrind it's handy to disable any
GPU devices because otherwise you'll be wasting quite some time in
the driver while enumerating devices.

Previously several areas were calling TEST_SHARED_PTR_SUPPORT and
TEST_UNORDERED_MAP_SUPPORT which isn't that bad on it's own but
was causing some quite verbose output with same information line
printed multiple times. additionally, what's more worse, define flags
for Ceres were duplicated in main CMakeLists and Ceres's CMakeLists.
Now we've got a single place where checks for those classes are
happening and other areas are simply checking for variables set by
those check macros, keeping CMake output clean and nice.
While SCons building system was serving us really good for ages it's no longer
having much attention by the developers and started to become quite a difficult
task to maintain.
What's even worse -- there started to be quite serious divergence between SCons
and CMake which was only accumulating over the releases now. The fact that none
of the active developers are really using SCons and that our main studio is also
using CMake spotting bugs in the SCons builds became quite a difficult task and
we aren't always spotting them in time.
Meanwhile CMake became really mature building system which is available on every
platform we support and arguably it's also easier and more robust to use.
This commit includes:
- Removal of actual SCons building system
- Removal of SCons git submodule
- Removal of documentation which is stored in the sources and covers SCons
- Tweaks to the buildbot master to stop using SCons submodule
(this change requires deploying to the server)
- Tweaks to the install dependencies script to skip installing or mentioning
SCons building system
- Tweaks to various helper scripts to avoid mention of SCons folders/files
as well

It is rather annoying attitude nowadays to use const qualifier all over the
place, including using it for multi-dimensional arrays. This isn't really
supported in GCC prior to version 5.0 because it considers such an arrays
to be a "pointer to a const pointer" which gives implicit casting errors.
It's not possible to disable this particular type of warnings treated as
errors in any GCC version prior to 5.0 as well, meaning currently usage of
-Werror globally in Blender code is not possible at all.
This commit makes it possible to use -Werror in areas which are complaint
with older GCC versions. New advanced CMake options are:
- WITH_COMPOSITOR_WERROR
- WITH_LIBMV_WERROR
- WITH_CYCLES_WERROR
This makes OCIO viewport color correction a little bit faster (about -0.5s for 100 samples)
Also set max half float value to 65504.0 to conform with IEEE 754.
This commit contains all the tweaks which were missing in initial patch
re-integration from the standalone Cycles repository.
This commit also contains an utility cmake macro to help linking targets
with different libraries for release/debug builds, the name currently is
target_link_libraries_decoupled
it gets a target and list of libraries and makes sure debug builds are
using libraries with "_d" suffix.
After all this changes it'll hopefully be easier to interchange patches
between blender and standalone repositories, because they're now quite
identical.
This way it is now possible to use gflags >= 2.1, where all the
functions were moved from google to gflags namespace.
This isn't currently used in blender, but for standalone repository
this change is essential.
Basic idea is to check whether OIIO is compiled with embedded PugiXML parser
and if so use PugiXML from OIIO, otherwise find a standalone PugiXML library.
