This calls are not strictly speaking needed for the old dependency graph, but
due to more granular nature of upcoming depsgraph more actions requires update
of relations of IDs.
On the one hand this extra tags could be wrapped with if() statements, but on
the other hand it makes sense to keep tag in sync so it's clear if some issue
is caused by missing/extra tag or by depsgraph itself.
An assertion to check if `re->clipsta` < 0 (added as part of addressing
T36009 in rBrB795034c17d76bef2a15e576ac9c70ae2268a823b) was failing when
Freestyle viewport preview rendering takes place in the camera view with
an orthographic camera (in this case, the user-defined clipping range is
used without changes, so that `re->clipsta` is positive). The
`re->clipsta` property has a negative value only when the 3D viewport is
in an orthographic view but not in the camera view. It seems that this
viewport setting cannot be identified from rendering settings accessible
from Freestyle. Now a negative `re->clipsta` value is directly checked
instead, without relying on other render flags.
The reported crash case seems to be caused by freeing compiled Python
objects in a thread. Now this issue is avoided by allocating a buffer to
store a Python script and using BPY_string_exec() to run the script. This
makes it unnecessary to repeatedly create and destroy Text data blocks.
Many thanks to Campbell Barton for his help on the bug fix.

Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

This commit makes some preliminary fixes and tweaks aimed to make blender
compilable with C++11 feature set. This includes:
- Build system attribute to enable C++11 featureset.
It's for sure default OFF, but easy to enable to have a play around with
it and make sure all the stuff is compilable before we go C++11 for real.
- Changes in Compositor to use non-named cl_int structure fields.
This is because __STRICT_ANSI__ is defined by default by GCC and OpenCL
does not use named fields in this case.
- Changes to TYPE_CHECK() related on lack of typeof() in C++11
This uses decltype() instead with some trickery to make sure returned type
is not a reference.
- Changes for auto_ptr in Freestyle
This actually conditionally switches between auto_ptr and unique_ptr since
auto_ptr is deprecated in C++11. Seems to be not strictly needed but still
nice to be ready for such an update anyway/
This all based on changes form depsgraph_refactor branch apart from the weird
changes which were made in order to support MinGW compilation. Those parts of
change would need to be carefully reviewed again after official move to gcc49
in MinGW.
Tested on Linux with GCC-4.7 and Clang-3.5, other platforms are not tested and
likely needs some more tweaks.

This is a regression introduced by rBd8b00a3bf5c1 (Freestyle: memory
consumption optimization in stroke rendering).
The issue was caused by uninitialized MPoly::mat_nr values. Before the
stroke rendering optimization, individual Freestyle strokes were
represented by distinct mesh objects, and thus MPoly::mat_nr was left
unset (i.e., was always zero). Now that the stroke rendering optimization
has been done and mesh objects may represent multiple strokes of different
materials, MPoly::mat_nr had to be properly set to the material index that
refers to the material of the poly face.
This is mandatory for incoming custom normal imports from io scripts, because
often geometry here is corrupted, so we need to call mesh.validate() to clean it up.
Issue is, we cannot set custom normals before geometry is clean, so we need to store
temporary plain loop normals in a CD_NORMAL layer, validate, and then set custom normals.
So we need a way to prevent 'temp' lnors to be freed by validate.
The reported problem was due to a special case where there are no strokes
to be rendered. Since rendering an empty scene is a waste of time, the issue
was addressed here by skipping the stroke rendering process entirely.
Setting all values of a tuple is such a common operation that it deserves its own macro.
Also added Py_INCREF_RET to avoid confusing use of comma operator.
remove 'type' argument, very few mathutils objects are wrapped,
add new function for creating wrapped objects.
also fixes unlikely memory leak if the data-array can't be allocated.
Previously individual strokes were represented by distinct mesh objects
no matter how many vertices and materials each stroke has, although
the vertex and material counts can be quite small depending on the input
scene data. Now stroke meshes are packed into a minimum number of
mesh objects, so as to reduce the overheads of Blender object creation.
A StrokeVertexIterator ignores the first element when it is the only element.
Such an iterator can be created by the .incremented() method from an iterator
over two stroke vertices.
This problem is a regression from 2.71. The present fix is appropriate to backport
if Blender 2.72a is planned.
Problem report by Kazuhiro Murakawa through personal communications, thanks!
This patch removes several stroke shaders written in C++ that are unused
and don't serve a real purpose any more. The removed shaders are:
- BPy_ColorVariationPatternShader
- BPy_StrokeTextureShader
- BPy_TextureAssignerShader
- BPy_ThicknessVariationPatternShader
- BPy_fstreamShader
- BPy_streamShader
and a few more that weren't even exposed to the Python API.
Some minor edits were made by the reviewer.

The view map is mostly treated as a read-only data structure by line stylization
operations (i.e., selection, chaining, splitting, sorting and stroke creation). The
only exception is the chaining operation in some cases where insertion of extra
FEdge objects is necessary to ensure the continuity of underlying FEdges from
which a chain is constructed.
The present revision addresses the removal of extra FEdges so to keep the view
map clean and suitable for reuse in subsequent render frames.
New render layer option named "View map cache" is added to reuse a
previously computed view map for subsequent rendering. The cache is
automatically updated when the mesh geometry of the input 3D scene has
been changed.
This functionality offers a major performance boost for Freestyle
animation rendering when camera-space mesh geometry is static, as well
as for repeated still renders with updates of line stylization options.
Although the "View map cache" toggle is a render layer option, the cache
memory is shared by all render layers and scenes. This means that if
Freestyle is used for two or more render layers (possibly in different
scenes through the compositor), then the cached view map for one render
layer is replaced by a new view map for another render layer and hence
no performance gain is expected.
The Operators.reset function is exposed to the Freestyle Python API, which makes
it possible to combine multiple style modules into one file.
