The hardcoded age limit is now gone. The behavior can be implemented
with an Age Reached Event and Kill Particle node. Other utility nodes
to handle age limits of particles can be added later. Adding an
Age Limit attribute to particles on birth will be useful for some effects,
e.g. when you want to control the color or size of a particle over its
life time.
The Random Float node takes a seed currently. Different nodes will
produce different values even with the same seed. However, the same
node will generate the same random number for the same seed every
time. The "Hash" of a particle can be used as seed. Later, we'd want
to have more modes in the node to make it more user friendly.
Modes could be: Per Particle, Per Time, Per Particle Per Time,
Per Node Instance, ...
Also a Random Vector node will be useful, as it currently has to be
build using three Random Float nodes.
Find free slot first for sound strips then for movie strips.
This patch also fixes issue where all strips were added to channel 2 by default.

As creator.c is used for the 'main' function,
avoid obscure declarations being placed so prominently.
- Move Blender as a Python module declarations into it's own section.
- Move USD declaration to an 'extern' just before it's called.
Previously, there were only particle-birth and time-step events.
Now the solver can handle custom events. On the user level
this does not change anything yet. This feature of the solver
will be used by an upcoming Age Reached Event node and
possibly others. When this node exists, I can finally remove
the hardcoded maximum particle age.
The abbreviation 'init' is brief, unambiguous and already used
in thousands of places, also initialize is often accidentally
written with British spelling.
Yet another update to ensure that pointer variables are always up to date, i.e. those referencing the memory allocated by Mantaflow. Outdated pointers usually show up through flickering in viewport.
The weight must be added only to the real points, not to the autogenerated points by modifiers. This affects, not only to subdivide, but to any modifier that generate points.
In f2b04302cd the pointer update was refactored. It was sufficient to update pointers just in replay mode at the end of a step since the 'ensure()' functions from manta_fluid_API.cpp had their own pointer update call. These were removed in 51f4bee5a5, however, and so in order to still have some sort of update, the given update call needs to be available to all cache types.
Required for the new boolean code, disabled by default
until all platforms have landed the libs and the boolean
code actually lands in master.

A collection of multiple changes that had been living in my stash:
- Use nullptr instead of NULL in C++ files
- Removed unused/deprecated functions from headers
- Cleared animatable flag in cache UI
- Comment cleanups
Use static_cast() where possible and refresh pointers for every frame when in replay mode. The latter is particularly important as this seems to have caused the issue where smoke in the viewport was flickering when loading data from pointers after loading them from disk for the frame before (e.g. when resuming a bake job).
The root of the issue comes to the fact that sub-data pointers were
used to match strips before/after copy-on-write. The undo system might
re-use sub-data pointers after re-allocating them, making it so that,
for example, pointer used by sound strip is later re-used by video
strip.
This fix takes an advantage of recently introduced per-sequence UUID
and uses it to match sequences before/after copy-on-write.
Will trigger code paths which makes sure UUIDs are generated and
are unique.
Enabled with --debug-depsgraph-uuid (which is also implied by
--debug-depsgraph).
This is the first step for having sequences covered with session UUID
with the goal to remove code which uses original sequence pointer to
match sequences.
Currently this UUID is maintained on file load, allocation and leaf
duplication function.There are more cases to cover and ensure UUID
is re-generated or re-used when needed. It will be done as follow-up
development.
Allows to use pre-defined structure for session UUIDs in all data
structures which needs it: pose channels, sequencer strips, modifiers.
The goal of all this is to have a reliable way of matching original
and copy-on-written versions of data, so that it's possible to
preserve runtime caches.
