`BKE_mball_is_basis_for()` was processing whole name, when we can
actually rule out most of cases by just checking third char of the ID
names first, which is much, much cheaper.
Even though MBalls are not much used nowadays, that's a nice
optimization when this is called over a whole Main database full of
meta-balls objects...
Full redesign of the cache system used for drawing strokes and handle derived frame data.
Before, the cache was saved in bGPdata and a hash was used to manage several objects with the same datablock.
Old design made the use of particles very inefficient and prone to bugs and segment faults, and especially when this was mixed with onion skinning and multiple objects using same datablock. Also, there were some conflicts with the depsgrah logic (the old design was done before despgraph was in place) that made the use of hash not working.
The new design saves the data in the object runtime struct and avoid the use of any hash to find the right data. This improves the speed and reduce a lot the complexity of the code, memory allocation, hash overload and adds full support for particles and reused datablocks.
The particles can reuse the modifiers and shader effects of the original grease pencil object.
It's been 9 years too long.
And don't get this one confused with nla.bake (why would you even?).
The·BakeAction operator will be renamed to NLA_TO_bake next.
That feature will not be ready (or at least, not tested enough) to be
officially part of 2.80 beta. So we disable it by default, hidding it
behind a startup option (`--enable-static-override`), and a python
app var (`bpy.app.use_static_override`).
That way, people who really want to play with it can do it easily, while
not exposing/enabling non-production-ready feature by default.
Note that underlying override code remains active, i.e. files we do have
overridden data-blocks will be loaded correctly according to static override.
For now only `selected_pose_bones_from_active_object`, more options can
be added on demand.
Discussed this with Campbell Barton. We may need this only for selected
pose bones, time will tell.
Partially revert 41216d5ad4
Some of this code had comments to be left as is for readability,
or comment the code should be kept.
Other functions were only for debugging.
This is a bug experienced by animators in the Blender Studio that developers
have been trying to fix for a /long/ time.
What happens is that partial file writing extracts the needed datablocks from
the main list of datablocks into a smaller one. Afterwards they are added back
to the main list, but in some cases not exactly in the same order.
There is file path remapping code that depends on the datablocks being in
exactly the same order as before, and when this was not the case filepaths
would get swapped between datablocks
The reason datablocks are not restored in the same order is because the sorting
of datablocks by name is a) case insensitive and b) undefined if there are
multiple datablocks with the same name from different libraries. This should
be made well defined, but the fix in this commit is simpler.
The way animators ran into this bug is that they use the Copy Attributes addon
a lot, which has as the first item in the menu Copy Selection to Buffer. In
some cases this would be clicked accidentally when menu is near the edge of the
window, breaking the library paths which would only be noticed a much later on
file save and reload.
The way this bug was finally tracked down is that it was suspected that the
undo system was the cause, and so Bastien added library validation for undo.
When Hjalti then did undo and noticed the error, he remembered accidentally
clicking Copy Selection to Buffer just before, and we could finally reproduce
the bug.
- Use smooth normals to displace in Above Surface mode.
- Add an option to align an axis to the normal in the constraint.
I've seen people request the alignment feature, and it seems useful.
For the actual aligning I use the damped track logic.
In order to conveniently keep mesh data needed for normal
computation together, a new data structure is introduced.

Computation of hold blocks was done by storing ranges (with start and
an end, and likely overlapping) in a tree keyed only by the block start.
This cannot work well, and there even were comments that it is not
reliable in complex cases.
A much better way to deal with it is to split all ranges so they don't
overlap. The most thorough way of doing this is to split at all and every
known keyframe, and in this case the data can actually be stored in the
key column data structures, avoiding the need for a second tree.
In practice, splitting requires a pass to copy this data to newly added
keys, and the necessity to loop over all keyframes in the range being
added. Both are linear and don't add excess algorithmic complexity.
The new implementation also calls BLI_dlrbTree_linkedlist_sync for
its own needs, so the users of the *_to_keylist functions don't have
to do it themselves anymore.

Loop triangles are tessellated triangles create from polygons, for renderers
or exporters that need to match Blender's polygon tesselation exactly. These
are a read-only runtime cache.
Tessfaces are a legacy data structure from before Blender supported n-gons,
and were already mostly removed from the C code.
Details on porting code to loop triangles is in the release notes.

- mesh_calc_modifiers & editbmesh_calc_modifiers
now follow similar naming.
- me and mesh were too easily confused in mesh_calc_modifiers
(remove 'me', access ob->data).
