Deprecate copyData Parameter in UMat Construction from std::vector and Always Copy Data #27408
Overview
This PR simplifies and modernizes the construction of cv::UMat from std::vector by removing the legacy copyData parameter, always copying the data, and ensuring clearer, safer semantics. This brings UMat in line with current best practices and paves the way for the upcoming OpenCV 5.x series.
What Changed?
1. Header Documentation Update
Removed confusing or obsolete documentation about copyData and clarified the behavior:
Old: builds matrix from std::vector with or without copying the data
New: builds matrix from std::vector. The data is always copied. The copyData parameter is deprecated and will be removed in OpenCV 5.0.
2. Implementation Update
In UMat::UMat(const std::vector<_Tp>& vec, bool copyData), the copyData parameter:
Is now ignored and marked as deprecated.
Marked with CV_UNUSED(copyData) for backward compatibility and to avoid warnings.
The constructor always copies the data from the input vector, regardless of the value of copyData.
All branching logic around copyData has been removed. Any code for "not copying" was not implemented and is now dropped.
This guarantees data safety and predictable behavior.
3. Test Added
A new test construct_from_vector in test_umat_from_vector.cpp:
Verifies that UMat copies the vector data, not referencing it.
Modifies the source vector after construction to confirm that the UMat is unaffected (proving copy, not reference).
Checks matrix shape, type, and content to ensure correctness.
Why This Change?
1. Safety and Predictability
Always copying avoids dangling references and hard-to-debug lifetime issues with stack/heap-allocated vectors.
Removes an undocumented, unimplemented branch (copyData=false).
2. Backward Compatibility
The constructor signature remains for now, but the copyData parameter is marked as deprecated and ignored.
Codebases that pass the parameter will still compile and run as before (but always copy).
3. API Clarity and Maintenance
Documentation now matches the real implementation.
No misleading expectations about zero-copy.
Code is cleaner, future-proof, and easier to maintain.
4. Preparation for OpenCV 5.0
The copyData parameter is deprecated and will be removed in OpenCV 5.x.
Prepares users and downstream libraries for the planned change.
How This Helps OpenCV Users and Developers
Guarantees data safety and makes behavior explicit.
Removes legacy/ambiguous code.
Provides a clear path to OpenCV 5.x.
Minimizes future migration pain.
Ensures all users see the same, reliable behavior (copy semantics).

### Pull Request Readiness Checklist
Related to #27323
I found only randomized tests with number of roots always equal to `1` or `3`, `x^3 = 0` and some simple test for Java and Swift.
Obviously, they don't cover all cases (implementation has strong branching and number of roots can be equal to `-1`, `0` and `2` additionally).
So, I think it will be useful to try explicitly cover more cases (and implementation branches correspondingly)

User-defined logger callback, C-style. #27154
This is a competing PR, an alternative to #27140
Both functions accept C-style pointer to static functions. Both functions allow restoring the OpenCV built-in implementation by passing in a nullptr.
- replaceWriteLogMessage
- replaceWriteLogMessageEx
This implementation is not compatible with C++ log handler objects.
This implementation has minimal thread safety, in the sense that the function pointer are stored and read atomically. But otherwise, the user-defined static functions must accept calls at all times, even after having been deregistered, because some log calls may have started before deregistering.

Fix issues in RISC-V Vector (RVV) Universal Intrinsic #27006
This PR aims to make `opencv_test_core` pass on RVV, via following two parts:
1. Fix bug in Universal Intrinsic when VLEN >= 512:
- `max_nlanes` should be multiplied by 2, because we use LMUL=2 in RVV Universal Intrinsic since #26318.
- Related tests are also expanded to match longer registers
- Relax the precision threshold of `v_erf` to make the tests pass
2. Temporary fix #26936
- Disable 3 Universal Intrinsic code blocks on GCC
- This is just a temporary fix until we figure out if it's our issue or GCC/something else's
This patch is tested under the following conditions:
- Compier: GCC 14.2, Clang 19.1.7
- Device: Muse-Pi (VLEN=256), QEMU (VLEN=512, 1024)
