MSVC still defines __cplusplus as 199711L until it's in full conformance with the newer c++ standards, however the things we need from the standard are fully supported, hence a check for the msvc version was needed.
With the API recently added to gawain, it is now possible to update the vbos linked to the batch.
So the batch does not have to be destroyed.
The optimization is more sensitive when sculpt is made on low poly meshs
Without this a "Clearcoat" link could be moved to "Clearcoat Normal"
for example, which doesn't make much sense.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D3105
PointCache was having a collection of items of PointCache type, having a
collection of items of PointCache type, having...
Nuff said.
For now, chose the 'ugly' way to fix it, that is, the one that changes
nothing to API and scripts using it: we define another 'PointCacheItem'
RNA type for items of our point cache collection, which has exact same
interface as PointCache except for the collection.
This is doomed to be rewritten at some point anyway, not worth spending
time trying to define a really correct data layout for now.
We now alloc a vbo id on creation and let OpenGL manage its memory directly.
We use glMapBuffer to get this memory location.
This enables us to reuse and modify any vertex buffer directly without
destroying it with its associated Batches.
This commit does not really improve performance but will let us implement
more optimizations in the future.
We can also resize the buffer even if this can be slow if we need to keep
the existing data.
The addition of the usage hint makes dynamic buffers not a special case
anymore, simplifying things a bit.
* In the Collada Module parameters are typically ordered
in a similar way. I changed this to:
extern std::string get_joint_id(Object *ob, Bone *bone);
* The Object parameter was not used in get_joint_sid().
I changed this to:
extern std::string get_joint_sid(Bone *bone);
When a name property is defined for collection's struct, but no name is
actually set, we want to also fallback to index case. We cannot handle
empty names to address items of a collection!
We had a mix of two issues here actually:
* First, Brush are currently using their own sauce for custom previews,
this is not great, but moving them to use common ImagePreview system of
IDs is a low-priority TODO. For now, they should totally ignore their
own ImagePreview.
* Second, BKE_icon_changed() would systematically create a PreviewImage
for ID types supporting it, which does not really makes sense, this
function is merely here to 'tag' previews as outdated. Actual creation
of previews is deferred to later, when we actually need them.
They are used to start and end colored output in console.
Use with care, it is up to you to check that console actually
supports Truecolor ANSII.
In thew future we can extend this to other consoles and platforms.
