This fixes any function that relied on these iterators such as:
* Outliner Same Type
* Metaballs
* scene.objects
We were not considering the collections when there was collections nested
to the collections nested to the master collection.
It includes a unittest.
Adding new context modes requires adding a string in CTX_data_mode_string,
but there is no error when omitting this other than panels using
incorrect contexts. The static assert should help detect simple
missing strings at least to avoid confusing errors.
This allows users to have "Support", "Rig", "Characters" collections nested to
different collections without having to resort to "House.Rig", "House.Characters"
or "Rig.001", "Characters.003" :/
This is part of T53495.
We were bumping user count when duplicating viewlayer and its freestyleconfig
depending on the flag, however when freeing we were always decreasing user
count.
This fixes this and get rid of the assert when running:
`--factory-startup --enable-copy-on-write`
And closing Blender.
The mental model is that a scene collection is a small wrap on top of the master
collection, so all objects are in the master collection at all times.
When we remove a collection there is no reason to remove an object. So if the
object was not linked to any other collection, we add link it to the master one.
We tried to do as much as possible in a single threaded callback, which
lead to using some nasty tricks like fake atomic-based spinlocks to
perform some operations (like float addition, which has no atomic
intrinsics).
While OK with 'standard' low number of working threads (8-16), because
collision were rather rare and implied memory barrier not *that* much
overhead, this performed poorly with more powerful systems reaching the
100 of threads and beyond (like workstations or render farm hardware).
There, both memory barrier overhead and more frequent collisions would
have significant impact on performances.
This was addressed by splitting further the process, we now have three
loops, one over polys, loops and vertices, and we added an intermediate
storage for weighted loop normals. This allows to avoid completely any
atomic operation in body of threaded loops, which should fix scalability
issues. This costs us slightly higher temp memory usage (something like
50Mb per million of polygons on average), but looks like acceptable
tradeoff.
Further more, tests showed that we could gain an additional ~7% of speed
in computing normals of heavy meshes, by also parallelizing the last two
loops (might be 1 or 2% on overall mesh update at best...).
Note that further tweaking in this code should be possible once Sergey
adds the 'minimum batch size' option to threaded foreach API, since very
light loops like the one on loops (mere v3 addition) require much bigger
batches than heavier code (like the one on polys) to keep optimal
performances.
So they are:
House
-> House 1
-> House 2
-> ...
The exception is when the parent collection is the master collection. In this case we get:
Master Collection
-> Collection 1
-> Collection 2
-> ...

This is a bit annoying to have per-DM locking, but it's way better (as in, up to
4 times better) for playback speed when having lots of subsurf objects,
This allows a duplicator (as known as dupli parent) to be in a visible
collection so its duplicated objects are visible, however while being
invisible for the final render.
An object that is a particle emitter is also considered a duplicator.
Many thanks for the reviewers for the extense feedback.

Annoyingly, need to convert vfont to nurbs, do minmax and toss nurbs away.
This is likely to be fine, since this function is not intended to be used
a lot, and this is the only way to get more meaningful result.
However, it's not very clear what to do with font on curve.
This fixes rendering of font object with auto texture space in Cycles
introduced in c34f3c7.
It is probably possible to introduce new mode to vfont_to_curve which
will do boundbox without extra allocations, but that's more like an
optimization.

The issue actually goes a bit deeper, converting curve to mesh will
change texture space just because font and bezier curves are using CV
to calculate texture space.
So now when those objects are converted to mesh, we disable auto
texture space and copy evaluated space over.
Code also handling auto-generation of static overrides.
Aside from some naming consistency cleanup, this commit:
* Is the first step addressing the 'operator' issue with static
overrides, by implementing a first version of the 'restore from
reference' behavior.
* Fixes several issues that were discovered on the way in enhanced
RNA comparision code, like the 'zero-length dynamic array' case, or some
infinite looping caused by some non-ID pointers (that for some
mysterious reasons did not show up previously...).
* Factorizes a bit said RNA comparison code (auto-static override
generation and comparison/check were essentially doing the same thing).
Users can change the group collection visibility in the outliner
when looking at groups.
Regular collections on the other hand don't have any special visibility control,
if you need a collection to be invisible during render, either don't link it
into the view layer used for F12, or disable it.
This includes:
* Updated unittests - update your lib/tests/layers folder.
* Subversion bump - branches be aware of that.
Note:
Although we are using eval_ctx to determine the visibility of a group collection
when rendering, the depsgraph is still using the same depsgraph for the viewport
and the render engine, so at the moment the render visibility is ignored.
Following next is a workaround for this separately to tag the groups before and
after rendering to tackle that.
Currently this is a no-visible-changes change, but the idea is to use this
dedicated flag to tell which exact components of ID changed, make it more
granular than just OBJECT and OBJECT_DATA. Allow setting this field based
on what components new dependency graph flushed on evaluation.
New dependency graph is supposed to have relation from animation node to
the node which corresponds to a property which is modified by that curve.
This means it is up to dependency graph to flush recalc flags, and no
manual control is needed in the animation code.
