Add our own copy of the gtest discovery scripts from CMake a few reasons:
* Use the very latest version which supports PRE_TEST for Windows
* Fix usage of [] symbols in file paths that fail with the zsh shell
* Disable asan leak checker when discovering tests
This means Windows also no longer requires the very latest CMake 3.18.
This bumps the minimum requirement for cmake from 3.10 to 3.18 on windows

This change moves fftw to a shared library and reverts the bandaid
we did for 2.83.
This is not as much a fix as a work around, but given the real
involves replacing how we build fftw, it is not eligible for 2.83
which is in BCON3 already.
The root of the issue lies with (how we build) fftw3
The first issue is: fftw does not build with MSVC, there are other
dependencies that are not compatible with MSVC and for those we
build the libraries required with mingw64, same for fftw
The second issue is: for reasons unknown we really really really
liked all deps to link statically so wherever possible we did so.
Now during the building of the fftw it linked a few symbols from
libgcc (which we do not ship) like __chkstk_ms, for which we passed
some flags to stop generating calls to it. Problem solved! There
is no way this could possibly turn around and bite us in the rear.
fast forward to today mystery crashes that look like a race condition.
What is happening is, we tell the linker that each thread will require
a 2-megabyte stack, now if every thread immediately allocated 2 megs,
that be 'rough' on the memory usage. So, what happens is (for all apps
not just blender), 2 megs are reserved but not backed by any real memory
and the first page is allocated for use by the stack, now as the stack
grows, it will eventually grow out of that first page, and end up in
an area that has not been allocated yet, to deal with that the allocated
page is followed by a guard page, someone touches the guard page it's
time to grow the stack!
Meanwhile in FFTW is it's doing substantial allocation using alloca
(up to 64 kb) on the stack, jumping over the guard page, and ending
up in reserved but not yet committed memory, causing an access violation.
Now if you think, that doesn't sound right! something should have
protected us from that! You are correct! That thing was __chkstk_ms
which we disabled.
Given we do not want a dependency on libgcc while building with MSVC
the proper solution is to build fftw as a shared library which will
statically link any bits and pieces it needs, however that change
is a little bit too big to be doing in BCON3.
So as a work around, we change the size the stack grows from 8k to
68k which gives fftw a little bit more wiggle room to keep it out
of trouble most of the time.
Note this only sidesteps the issue, this may come up again if the
conditions are just right, and a proper solution will need to be
implemented for 2.90.
It was disabled in D7520 to keep the pdb's from growing out
of control however the increased link time is just not worth
it.
I'll keep an eye on the dailies and see if we have to come up
with a different solution.
Ever since debug symbols were added for release builds the linker
has been on the chatty side about symbols being missing for our
binary libs.
There's currently no plans to supply those, so best for the linker
not to warn us about them.
Static tbb has always been frowned upon [1] sofar it has worked for us but
given our reliance on tbb is about to increase (D7475), I'd like to move the library
to more supported configuration. Which means moving it to be a dynamic library

The OpenXR-SDK contains utilities for using the OpenXR standard
(https://www.khronos.org/openxr/). Namely C-headers and a so called
"loader" to manage runtime linking to OpenXR platforms ("runtimes")
installed on the user's system.
The WITH_XR_OPENXR build option is disabled by default for now, as there
is no code using it yet. On macOS it will remain disabled for now, it's
untested and there's no OpenXR runtime in sight for it.
Some points on the OpenXR-SDK dependency:
* The repository is located at
https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenXR-SDK (Apache 2).
* Notes on updating the dependency:
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Source/OpenXR_SDK_Dependency
* It contains a bunch of generated files, for which the sources are in a
separate repository
(https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenXR-SDK-Source).
* We could use that other repo by default, but I'd rather go with the
simpler solution and allow people to opt in if they want advanced dev
features.
* We currently use the OpenXR loader lib from it and the headers.
* To use the injected OpenXR API-layers from the SDK (e.g. API
validation layers), the SDK needs to be compiled from this other
repository.
The extra "XR_" prefix in the build option is to avoid mix-ups of OpenXR
with OpenEXR.
Most of this comes from the 2019 GSoC project, "Core Support of Virtual
Reality Headsets through OpenXR"
(https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Severin/GSoC-2019/).

This is a more correct fix to the issue Brecht was fixing in D6600.
While the fix in that patch worked fine for linking it broke ASAN
runtime under some circumstances.
For example, `make full debug developer` would compile, but trying
to start blender will cause assert failure in ASAN (related on check
that ASAN is not running already).
Top-level idea: leave it to CMake to keep track of dependency graph.
The root of the issue comes to the fact that target like "blender" is
configured to use a lot of static libraries coming from Blender sources
and to use external static libraries. There is nothing which ensures
order between blender's and external libraries. Only order of blender
libraries is guaranteed.
It was possible that due to a cycle or other circumstances some of
blender libraries would have been passed to linker after libraries
it uses, causing linker errors.
For example, this order will likely fail:
libbf_blenfont.a libfreetype6.a libbf_blenfont.a
This change makes it so blender libraries are explicitly provided
their dependencies to an external libraries, which allows CMake to
ensure they are always linked against them.
General rule here: if bf_foo depends on an external library it is
to be provided to LIBS for bf_foo.
For example, if bf_blenkernel depends on opensubdiv then LIBS in
blenkernel's CMakeLists.txt is to include OPENSUBDIB_LIBRARIES.
The change is made based on searching for used include folders
such as OPENSUBDIV_INCLUDE_DIRS and adding corresponding libraries
to LIBS ion that CMakeLists.txt. Transitive dependencies are not
simplified by this approach, but I am not aware of any downside of
this: CMake should be smart enough to simplify them on its side.
And even if not, this shouldn't affect linking time.
Benefit of not relying on transitive dependencies is that build
system is more robust towards future changes. For example, if
bf_intern_opensubiv is no longer depends on OPENSUBDIV_LIBRARIES
and all such code is moved to bf_blenkernel this will not break
linking.
The not-so-trivial part is change to blender_add_lib (and its
version in Cycles). The complexity is caused by libraries being
provided as a single list argument which doesn't allow to use
different release and debug libraries on Windows. The idea is:
- Have every library prefixed as "optimized" or "debug" if
separation is needed (non-prefixed libraries will be considered
"generic").
- Loop through libraries passed to function and do simple parsing
which will look for "optimized" and "debug" words and specify
following library to corresponding category.
This isn't something particularly great. Alternative would be to
use target_link_libraries() directly, which sounds like more code
but which is more explicit and allows to have more flexibility
and control comparing to wrapper approach.
Tested the following configurations on Linux, macOS and Windows:
- make full debug developer
- make full release developer
- make lite debug developer
- make lite release developer
NOTE: Linux libraries needs to be compiled with D6641 applied,
otherwise, depending on configuration, it's possible to run into
duplicated zlib symbols error.

This commit introduces the first version of an exporter to Pixar's
Universal Scene Description (USD) format.
Reviewed By: sergey, LazyDodo
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D6287
- 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
In older versions the ms crt was only a few dlls, in recent versions
this jumped to over 40 leading to quite a bit of clutter in our
bin folder.
This change moves the CRT into its own folder.
For developers that generally already have the runtime globaly
available on their machine, there is a new cmake option
(WITH_WINDOWS_BUNDLE_CRT, default ON) that you can use to toggle
installing the runtime to the blender bin folder, and save some
time during the initial build, this option is off by default for
only the developer profile.
