The issue was caused by render result identifier only consist of scene name,
which could indeed cause conflicts.
On the one hand, there are quite some areas in Blender where we need identifier
to be unique to properly address things. Usually this is required for sub-data
of IDs, like bones. On another hand, it's not that hard to support this
particular case and avoid possible frustration.
The idea is, we add library name to render identifier for linked scenes. We use
library name and not pointer so we preserve render results through undo stack.

Previously it was returning short, which was really easy to (a) compare against
non-ID type value (b) forget to handle some specific value in switch statement.
Both issues happened in the nearest past, so it's time to tighten some nuts
here.
Most of the change related on silencing strict compiler warning now, but there
is also one tricky aspect: ID_NLA is not in the IDType enum. So there is still
cast to short to handle that switch. If someone has better ideas how to deal
with this please go ahead :)
We have a hardcored limit of 1000 images to be baked.
However anything anove 100 would be leading to overflow in the code.
Caught by warning from builder bot (my compiler doesn't even complain
about this, but it should).
- NOCHECK -> ALL
- ALL -> MAYBE_ALL
Where 'MAYBE_ALL' checks to see if the mesh has changed.
This is clearer that `BKE_MESH_BATCH_DIRTY_ALL` is dirty and
going to be updated without any guess-work.
2.8x branch added bContext arg in many places,
pass eval-context instead since its not simple to reason about what
what nested functions do when they can access and change almost anything.
Also use const to prevent unexpected modifications.
This fixes crash loading files with shadows,
since off-screen buffers use a NULL context for rendering.
We do have an history of those pieces of evil in our code, would be nice
to get fully rid of it, but at the very least let's not add more of them
in new code. :)
New code was handling correctly ID's internal references to self, but
not references between 'made real' different objects...
Regression, to be backported in 2.79.
This will allow much finer controll over how we copy data-blocks, from
full copy in Main database, to "lighter" ones (out of Main, inside an
already allocated datablock, etc.).
This commit also transfers a llot of what was previously handled by
per-ID-type custom code to generic ID handling code in BKE_library.
Hopefully will avoid in future inconsistencies and missing bits we had
all over the codebase in the past.
It also adds missing copying handling for a few types, most notably
Scene (which where using a fully customized handling previously).
Note that the type of allocation used during copying (regular in Main,
allocated but outside of Main, or not allocated by ID handling code at
all) is stored in ID's, which allows to handle them correctly when
freeing. This needs to be taken care of with caution when doing 'weird'
unusual things with ID copying and/or allocation!
As a final note, while rather noisy, this commit will hopefully not
break too much existing branches, old 'API' has been kept for the main
part, as a wrapper around new code. Cleaning it up will happen later.

- New manipulator tracks lamps to position under cursor.
- Works with multiple lamps, keeping relative offsets.
- Holding Ctrl moves the lamp.
- Access via manipulator or Shift-T.
Code could be improved, but like to get feedback from users.
Note that some little parts of code have been dissabled because eval_ctx
was not available there. This should be resolved once DerivedMesh is
replaced.
This also renames some flags/variables to be more generic for updating
purposes. The call used here was previously only used for updating
paint data, but as it was reused here, flags and variables were renamed
to accomodate more clearly to the new usages.
Although we are calling all of them light probes, there are a lot of
differences between them. This commit does the following:
* Prevent user from changing the probe type once added
* Unify "sphere" and "cube" probes into reflection cubemap
(as before you can switch between them from the probe UI)
To be done
==========
* Don't show add probe menus unless we are on Eevee
* Light probes panels should not be visible in Clay. Light probe objects
should not be visible in Clay viewport (nor on Cycles).
Notes
=====
* We need icons for the different light probes, and for lightprobes as a
whole (we are using RADIO for now).
< Dependency graph Copy-on-Write >

This is an initial commit of Copy-on-write support added to dependency graph.
Main priority for now: get playback (Alt-A) and all operators (selection,
transform etc) to work with the new concept of clear separation between
evaluated data coming from dependency graph and original data coming from
.blend file (and stored in bmain).
= How does this work? =
The idea is to support Copy-on-Write on the ID level. This means, we duplicate
the whole ID before we cann it's evaluaiton function. This is currently done
in the following way:
- At the depsgraph construction time we create "shallow" copy of the ID
datablock, just so we know it's pointer in memory and can use for function
bindings.
- At the evaluaiton time, the copy of ID get's "expanded" (needs a better
name internally, so it does not conflict with expanding datablocks during
library linking), which means the content of the datablock is being
copied over and all IDs are getting remapped to the copied ones.
Currently we do the whole copy, in the future we will support some tricks
here to prevent duplicating geometry arrays (verts, edges, loops, faces
and polys) when we don't need that.
- Evaluation functions are operating on copied datablocks and never touching
original datablock.
- There are some cases when we need to know non-ID pointers for function
bindings. This mainly applies to scene collections and armatures. The
idea of dealing with this is to "expand" copy-on-write datablock at
the dependency graph build time. This might introduce some slowdown to the
dependency graph construction time, but allows us to have minimal changes
in the code and avoid any hash look-up from evaluation function (one of
the ideas to avoid using pointers as function bindings is to pass name
of layer or a bone to the evaluation function and look up actual data based
on that name).
Currently there is a special function in depsgraph which does such a
synchronization, in the future we might want to make it more generic.
At some point we need to synchronize copy-on-write version of datablock with
the original version. This happens, i.e., when we change active object or
change selection. We don't want any actual evaluation of update flush happening
for such thins, so now we have a special update tag:
DEG_id_tag_update((id, DEG_TAG_COPY_ON_WRITE)
- For the render engines we now have special call for the dependency graph to
give evaluated datablock for the given original one. This isn't fully ideal
but allows to have Cycles viewport render.
This is definitely a subject for further investigation / improvement.
This call will tag copy-on-write component tagged for update without causing
updates to be flushed to any other objects, causing chain reaction of updates.
This tag is handy when selection in the scene changes.
This basically summarizes ideas underneath this commit. The code should be
reasonably documented.
Here is a demo of dependency graph with all copy-on-write stuff in it:
https://developer.blender.org/F635468
= What to expect to (not) work? =
- Only meshes are properly-ish aware of copy-on-write currently, Non-mesh
geometry will probably crash or will not work at all.
- Armatures will need similar depsgraph built-time expansion of the copied
datablock.
- There are some extra tags / relations added, to keep things demo-able but
which are slowing things down for evaluation.
- Edit mode works for until click selection is used (due to the selection
code using EditDerivedMesh created ad-hoc).
- Lots of tools will lack tagging synchronization of copied datablock for
sync with original ID.
= How to move forward? =
There is some tedious work related on going over all the tools, checking
whether they need to work with original or final evaluated object and make
the required changes.
Additionally, there need synchronization tag done in fair amount of tools
and operators as well. For example, currently it's not possible to change
render engine without re-opening the file or forcing dependency graph for
re-build via python console.
There is also now some thoughts required about copying evaluated properties
between objects or from collection to a new object. Perhaps easiest way
would be to move base flag flush to Object ID node and tag new objects for
update instead of doing manual copy.
here is some WIP patch which moves such evaluaiton / flush:
https://developer.blender.org/F635479
Lots of TODOs in the code, with possible optimization.
= How to test? =
This is a feature under heavy development, so obviously it is disabled by
default. The only reason it goes to 2.8 branch is to avoid possible merge
hell.
In order to enable this feature use WITH_DEPSGRAPH_COPY_ON_WRITE CMake
configuration option.
'Convert To...' Object operation has very weird effect of actually
working at obdata level, not object level, which means *all* objects
(even unselected/hidden/in other scenes/...) using same obdata will be
converted to new selected type.
IMHO this is very bad behavior, but... not a bug really, so do not
change this for now.
But at least, do not do that when working on some linked data, else it
leaves Blend file in invalid (incoherent) state until next reload.
So workaround for now is to enforce the 'Keep Original' option when some
linked object/obdata is affected by the operation.
Also fixed somewhat broken usercount handling in Curve->Mesh part.
