- removed AVG2, was only used once.
- remove unused LONGCOPY define.
- removed BLI_STRUCT_OFFSET, was only used once, replce with offsetof
- formatting edits, split some macros over multiple lines.
This prevents access to non-existent typeinfo during type initialization,
when node types have been removed and such nodes are deleted from older files.
All blenkernel functions now only set the node->update flag instead of directly
calling the update function. All operators, etc. calling blenkernel functions
to modify nodes should make a ntreeUpdate call afterward (they already did that
anyway).
Editor/RNA/renderer/etc. high-level functions still can do immediate updates by
using nodeUpdate and nodeUpdateID (replacing NodeTagChanged/NodeTagIDChanged
respectively). These old functions were previously used only for setting
compositor node needexec flags and clearing cached data, but have become generic
update functions that require type-specific functionality (i.e. a valid typeinfo
struct).
The image node output is the default value when no image is selected. In pre-2.60 this was always initialized to 0 alpha, the defaults written in the node socket templates were completely ignored for outputs (except for value and RGB input nodes, which use these as button values). Now the stack values are initialized with the template defaults, which are all 0 by default. This patch changes alpha to 0 for image and render layer outputs too.
The value input nodes (like rgb input nodes) use the output value out their first socket for the button value. This needs explicitly set range limits to allow meaningful user input.
This would previously break because begin/end functions for each tree type still have some checks of the ntree->execdata pointer in them, despite the intended use of execdata instances instead of trees themselves for execution data storage. This is an artifact of the old execution system that required these checks to be made in the functions to avoid multiple execution of top-level trees. Now these functions take an additional argument, so group nodes can prevent them from setting and checking the nodetree->execdata pointers.
This branch adds mostly organizational improvements to the node system by renaming the node folders and files. A couple of internal features have been added too.
