Since version 6 G++ switched to C++11 by default, which breaks some logic
around WITH_CXX11 checks in out CMake files, leading to compilation errors.
This is easy to solve by explicitly enabling older C++ standard when C++11
was not explicitly enabled by CMake options.
However, G++-6 will also use new ABI by default even if older standard was
specified in the compiler options. This is being addressed by a special
define flag.
This tricks made it possible to use new G++-6 without need to recompile
any of pre-compiled libraries.
However, this might break compilation with existing system libraries, which
might already be using new ABI. We can't address this automatically, so
now we simply default WITH_C11 and WITH_CXX11 options to whatever defaults
of the current compiler are. This means, for G++-6 we'll set WITH_CXX11 to
truth. This should make linking with system libraries working just fine,
but to make pre-compiled libraries we still might need to disable CXX11.
This should work fine work for a new environments with G++-6 and install_deps
script run from scratch there, because C++ standard will be the same for
both Blender dependencies and Blender itself.
This mainly touches extern libraries and few debug-only places in intern.
Some summary:
- External libraries are not strict at all about missing declarations,
so we can rather safely remove such warning together with other strict
flags.
- Bullet has some static functions which are not used.
Those were commented out.
- Carve now has some unused debug-only functions commented out as well.
While we're on the way of getting rid of Carve, it makes sense to make
things a bit cleaner for the time being.
- In LZMA we have some parts disabled which gives some set but unused
variables which is rather correct.
- Elbeem had quite some variables set and never used because their usage
is inside of debug-only code which is commented out.
Note about patching upstream libraries: surely one might say that we
have to make local patchset against this, but own experience says it
only gives extra work trying to merge such tweaks to a new upstream
version and usually it's just faster to re-apply such fixes again after
bundling new upstream library.
This will be used for calculating bezier curves from freehand drawing,
may be used for other areas too.

The main purpose of such linking is to make Blender compatible with
NVidia's debuggers and profilers which are doing some LD_PRELOAD
magic to intercept some function calls. Such magic conflicts with
our CUDA wrangler magic and causes segmentation faults.
The option is disabled by default, so there's no affect on any of
artists.
In order to make Blender linked directly against CUDA library use
the WITH_CUDA_DYNLOAD CMake option (it's marked as advanced).
The idea is to split them into two separate targets and have dedicated include
directories list for each of them in order to avoid some annoying include header
modifications in comparison with upstream.

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

This is so called "seems to work in dry tests" commit which is aimed to switch
linux release environment to CMake.
Some notes:
- There's no special handle of libstdc++, but it wasn't really static for quite
some time in SCons configuration and nobody really complained.
- It was quite tricky to get OpenMP linked statically with just using some
configuration so we went ahead and added a special option to CMake now which is
only exist on Linux and advertised as shouldn't be used.
- Packing is happening manually in slave_pack.py. This is because we have to add
some really special files to the archive (mesa libraries for example) which we
can't really handle from CMake/CPack in a nice generic way.
Don't think it's bad approach, at least crappynness is localized and it's not
_that_ crappy anyway.
- Windows buildbot should keep working, but needs doublechecing. It's just a
build folder changed, but you never know what it might imply.
- Some further tweaks are likely needed to ensure all builders are working.
Thanks Campbell for assistance in this patch!
- Add blentranslation `BLT_*` module.
- moved & split `BLF_translation.h` into (`BLT_translation.h`, `BLT_lang.h`).
- moved `BLF_*_unifont` functions from `blf_translation.c` to new source file `blf_font_i18n.c`.

This commit contains all the remained parts needed for initial integration of
OpenSubdiv into Blender's subdivision surface code. Includes both GPU and CPU
backends which works in the following way:
- When SubSurf modifier is the last in the modifiers stack then GPU pipeline
of OpenSubdiv is used, making viewport performance as fast as possible.
This also requires graphscard with GLSL 1.5 support. If this requirement is
not met, then no GPU pipeline is used at all.
- If SubSurf is not a last modifier or if DerivesMesh is being evaluated for
rendering then CPU limit evaluation API from OpenSubdiv is used. This only
replaces the legacy evaluation code from CCGSubSurf_legacy, but keeps CCG
structures exactly the same as they used to be for ages now.
This integration is fully covered with ifdef and not enabled by default
because there are several TODOs to be solved first:
- Face varying data interpolation is not really cleanly implemented for GPU
in OpenSubdiv 3.0. It is also not implemented for limit evaluation API.
This basically means we'll have really hard time supporting UVs.
- Limit evaluation only works with adaptivly subdivided meshes so far, which
basically means all the points of CCG are pushed to the limit. This gives
different result from old code.
- There are some serious optimizations possible on the topology refiner
creation, which would speed up initial OpenSubdiv mesh creation.
- There are some hardcoded asumptions in the GPU and DerivedMesh areas which
could be generalized.
That's something where Antony and Campbell can help, making it so the code
is structured in a way which is reusable by all planned viewport projects.
- There are also some workarounds in the dependency graph to make sure OpenGL
buffers are only freed from the main thread.
Those who'll be wanting to make experiments with this code should grab dev
branch (NOT master) from
https://github.com/Nazg-Gul/OpenSubdiv/tree/dev
There are some patches applied in there which we're working on on getting
into upstream.
Title says pretty much everything. For now, only thing available is a solver of eigen
values/vectors for self-adjoint matrices.
We can easily add more when needed.
Thanks to Sergey and Campbell for quick review.
This commit integrates the work done so far on the new dependency graph system,
where goal was to replace legacy depsgraph with the new one, supporting loads of
neat features like:
- More granular dependency relation nature, which solves issues with fake cycles
in the dependencies.
- Move towards all-animatable, by better integration of drivers into the system.
- Lay down some basis for upcoming copy-on-write, overrides and so on.
The new system is living side-by-side with the previous one and disabled by
default, so nothing will become suddenly broken. The way to enable new depsgraph
is to pass `--new-depsgraph` command line argument.
It's a bit early to consider the system production-ready, there are some TODOs
and issues were discovered during the merge period, they'll be addressed ASAP.
But it's important to merge, because it's the only way to attract artists to
really start testing this system.
There are number of assorted documents related on the design of the new system:
* http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Aligorith/GSoC2013_Depsgraph#Design_Documents
* http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/DependencyGraph
There are also some user-related information online:

Doesn't mean we're 100% ready for the transition, but need to start somewhere
anyway. Changes:
- OSL is no longer supporting cpp and requires usage of Boost Wave.
So now Wave component of Boost is optionally demanded when looking for the
Boost libraries if OSL is enabled.
Only did this for Linux, MSVC seems already using Wave. Not sure about OSX.
- Because of the same reason OSL should be moved prior Boost for linker.
- Whole archive trick makes it so linking fails with duplicated symbols, so
removed it for the new OSL. Didn't see issues with this so far.
- Added some code to check OSL version on Linux. Would need to move all that
to FindOpenShadingLanguage.cmake which we can get from Cycles standalone
repository.
So in theory no affect on current stup would be made at all.
- Added some tweaks to buildbot files. It now seems to be happy with the new
OSL libraries, but again, those tweaks are not in action yet.
All this was tested on Linux only. Win/OSX might still need some tweaks to
support new OSL.
P.S. This doesn't mean we're pushing OSL update yet, just making some
preliminary tweaks to avoid entropy of PITA when we'll actually want to
switch.
code.
The implicit solver itself should remain agnostic to the specifics of
the Blender data (cloth vs. hair). This way we could avoid the bloated
data conversion chain from particles/hair to derived mesh to cloth
modifier to implicit solver data and back. Every step in this chain adds
overhead as well as rounding errors and a possibility for bugs, not to
speak of making the code horribly complicated.
The new subfolder is named "physics" since it should be the start of a
somewhat "unified" physics systems combining all the various solvers in
the same place and managing things like synchronized time steps.
Generally for build systems, libraries that do not depend on other
libraries, such as system libraries, OpenGL etc always go at the end.
We could even get rid of some duplicate dependency libraries here but
auto duplication by build systems and differences between OSs make this
difficult.
GTest still duplicates all libraries twice to solve some issues which is
weird (maybe libs are not sorted correctly for some reason? needs
investigation)
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.
