The issue was caused by including both Python.h and BLI_math.h. Since the macro
definition in Python.h was unconditional, it was necessary to include it first and then
BLI_math.h.
Addressing the issue turned out to affect many Freestyle source files. There were several
other coding flaws that complicated the situation:
1. intern/system/FreestyleConfig.h was abused just to include BLI_math.h which was in
fact unnecessary in FreestyleConfig.h. While addressing this, inclusion of both math.h
and BLI_math.h had to be duly dealt with to avoid a compiler error about round().
2. #include <Python.h> was not properly put in the extern "C" { ... } construct.
3. intern/view_map/Interface0D.h and intern/python/Director.h, both of which included
Python.h, were included from within Freestyle header files that were almost or completely
independent of Python. These non-Python header files were used everywhere in the
Freestyle code base, causing many cases of the reported macro redefinitions.
4. The Director.h file was also declaring 'using namespace Freestyle', which was causing
another scope issue in several Freestyle header files.
This commit is intended to address the first problem above. Subsequent commits will deal
with the other three.
Changes for VC2013
Now, I can build Blender with VC2013 with Cycles, Collada, OpenExr,OpenImageIO disabled. Also, you need VC2008 sp1 installed to make old libs compatible.
When the sketchy chaining is used, stroke geometry may contain a 180-degree U-turn.
If the 'error' parameter of the Bezier Curve geometry modifier is small (e.g., 10),
Bezier curve fitting will recursively split the original stroke into two pieces.
This splitting may take place at a U-turn point, causing a numerical singularity issue
that leads to a crash.
Problem report by edna in the BA Freestyle thread, with an example .blend to reproduce
the problem. Thanks a lot!
Least-squares fitting parameters were stored in a fixed size array, causing a
buffer overflow depending on the number of input points.
Problem report with a .blend file to reproduce the issue and a bugfix patch by
christiankrupa and jensverwiebe on IRC, thanks a lot!
Many thanks also to Bastien Montagne for forwarding the problem report by email.
A crash in the Freestyle renderer was reported by Ton on IRC with a stack trace
below. Note that #2 is in Freestyle, whereas #1 is in the compositor. The problem
was observed in a debug build on OS X 10.7 (gcc 4.2, openmp disabled, no llvm).

Apparently a name conflict between the two Blender modules is taking place.
The present commit hence intends to address it by putting all the Freestyle C++
classes in the namespace 'Freestyle'. This revision will also prevent potential
name conflicts with other Blender modules in the future.
Special thanks to Lukas Toenne for the help with C++ namespace.
on the console during Freestyle rendering. The debug prints are turned off
by default now. Errors are still printed on the console.
A patch set implementing this functionality was provided by Bastien Montagne.
Many thanks! :)
* View map calculation has been intensively optimized for speed by
means of:
1) new spatial grid data structures (SphericalGrid for perspective
cameras and BoxGrid for orthographic cameras; automatically switched
based on the camera type);
2) a heuristic grid density calculation algorithm; and
3) new line visibility computation algorithms: A "traditional"
algorithm for emulating old visibility algorithms, and a "cumulative"
algorithm for improved, more consistent line visibility, both exploiting
the new spatial grid data structures for fast ray casting.
A new option "Raycasting Algorithm" was added to allow users to choose
a ray casting (line visibility) algorithm. Available choices are:
- Normal Ray Casting
- Fast Ray Casting
- Very Fast Ray Casting
- Culled Traditional Visibility Detection
- Unculled Traditional Visibility Detection
- Culled Cumulative Visibility Detection
- Unculled Cumulative Visibility Detection
The first three algorithms are those available in the original
Freestyle (the "normal" ray casting was used unconditionally, though).
The "fast" and "very fast" ray casting algorithms achieve a faster
calculation at the cost of less visibility accuracy.
The last four are newly introduced optimized options. The culled
versions of the new algorithms will exclude from visibility
calculation those faces that lay outside the camera, which leads to a
faster view map construction. The unculled counterparts will take all
faces into account. The unculled visibility algorithms are useful
when culling affects stroke chaining.
The recommended options for users are the culled/unculled cumulative
visibility algorithms. These options are meant to replace the old
algorithms in the future.
Performance improvements over the old algorithms depend on the scenes
to be rendered.
* Silhouette detection has also been considerably optimized for speed.
Performance gains by this optimization do not depend on scenes.
* Improper handling of error conditions in the view map construction
was fixed.
Made an attempt to fix "2D intersection out of range" warnings.
These warnings may cause "3D intersection out of range" warnings,
which often lead to a crash.
The main contribution of this commit is the possibility to save Freestyle configuration information inside .blend files. It required an extensive refactoring of the previous interface code.
The code has been tested and does not crash on my machine. If you encounter issues, please let me know (and if possible, sending me an sample .blend file).
DETAILS:
- refactored code to notify Freestyle when adding/removing render layers (FRS_freestyle_config.{h,cpp})
- corrected the freeing of style modules when files are read from / written to disk
- moved Freestyle configuration information into scene renderlayers, to allow loading / saving .blend files (DNA_scene_types.h DNA_freestyle_types.h FRS_freestyle.cpp)
- inserted temporary trick to prevent crashes when orthographic camera is used (SilhouetteGeomEngine.cpp), but outputting incorrect feature line calculations
