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.
Terms get/set don't make much sense when casting values.
Name macros so the conversion is obvious,
use common prefix for easier completion.
- GET_INT_FROM_POINTER -> POINTER_AS_INT
- SET_INT_IN_POINTER -> POINTER_FROM_INT
- GET_UINT_FROM_POINTER -> POINTER_AS_UINT
- SET_UINT_IN_POINTER -> POINTER_FROM_UINT
The issue there was that number of layers did not include normals,
while element size counts bytes used by normals. This sounds very
fragile and dangerous to work further. Also, one value can easily
be delivered from another, so it is redundancy going on here.
Possible difference now is that multires subdivision will copy
normals to a higher levels. Shouldn't be big of a problem, since
leaving old normals and updating coordinates is not correct either.
The statement that PBVH needs to keep track of CCGDM is wrong, PBVH itself
does not care about CCGDM at all, and it's weird for it to carry on this
beast so others can access.
Even more, nobody will actually caring about CCGDM itself, all the usages
were checking whether there is CCGDM or not. This is as good as simply
checking PBVH type.
Tested with an original report T53551 and everything is still stable.
Related to T56363, this is not fixing the root of the bug, but ID
copying should always be a good occasion to ensure sanity of our data
(and error checking is always better than a crash!).
Beautiful example of typo going unoticed and firing back up in totally
unexpected place years later. Guess nobody actually duplicated a Clip
data-block before! :P
Most likely own fault, during refactor of ID copying code.
The old springs with damping 1.0 operate in a special way that
is more similar to plastic deformation than a spring. Some users
rely on that, so let the user choose which implementation to use.
This also restores full backward compatibility with 2.79.

We actually still had cases of Meta strip duplication resulting in
non-unique strip names. Quiet surprising this went unoticed for so long. :(
Fixed that bug, and think it was last one (at least, no other case of
SEQ_DUPE_UNIQUE_NAME usage should be broken, I think...), and raised
subversion and updated doversion to run uniquename check on strips on
all previous fileversions.
Note: will have to do that again when merging in 2.8...
Add new tag to bSound (runtime flags), and make read code to set a 'no
reload waveform' new tag, since it uses a mapping to get existing
waveform in undo case...
Damped Track by specification attempts to arrive at the desired
direction via the shortest rotation. However with opposite vectors
there are infinitely many valid 180 degree rotations. Currently
it gives up and does nothing.
I think that it would be more reasonable to resolve the ambiguity
arbitrarily, so that Damped Track won't have a weird dead zone.
To make it more predictable I use a local axis.
In addition, the singularity area vicinity has some floating
point precision problems that result in significant jitter.
This applies workarounds for two causes of instability.
