RNA raw types were missing for the int8_t, uchar (uint8_t),
ushort (uint16_t), int64_t and uint64_t DNA types types.
This adds the missing RNA raw types for all DNA types that can have
raw access.
Functional Changes
Properties with one of the new unsigned raw types will raise a Python
OverflowError in foreach_getset when attempting to read a negative
integer from bpy_prop_collection.foreach_set(). This is similar to the
existing behaviour of providing a Python int which is too large to
represent as a C long. The existing foreach_getset code will print
the OverflowError and then raise a TypeError instead.
CPython's signed integer parsing functions accept numeric types that are
not the Python int instances by calling their __index__() method.
CPython's unsigned integer parsing functions, however, only accept
Python int instances. To make foreach_getset accept the same
numeric types for unsigned raw types as it already accepts for signed
raw types, the unsigned integer parsing functions in py_capi_utils.h
have been updated to also call the __index__() method when given an
argument which is not a Python int instance.
Because the new unsigned integer parsing in foreach_getset is using
the PyC_ family of functions, which perform their own overflow checks,
the existing signed integer parsing has also been updated to use the
PyC_ family of functions for signed integer parsing. Previously,
OverflowError would only have been raised when the parsed integer was
too large to fit in a C long. With this patch, OverflowError will be
raised whenever the parsed integer is too large to fit in the property's
raw type. Integer properties already have well-defined maximum and
minimum values which should fit within the property's raw type, and enum
properties have a fixed number of values they can take depending on
their items. The bigger change here, is that setting bool properties
which use PROP_RAW_BOOLEAN will now only accept 0/False and
1/True.
Now that PROP_RAW_CHAR parsing is using PyC_Long_AsU8,
signed char buffers ("b" format) have been updated to no longer be
considered compatible with PROP_RAW_CHAR, matching the behaviour of
the other unsigned types only being considered compatible with unsigned
buffer formats.
The int64_t and uint64_t types can currently only be used by bool
properties (see IS_DNATYPE_BOOLEAN_COMPAT and the other macros in
RNA_define.hh), but bool properties only have raw access when they do
not use a bitmask and it doesn't make much sense to use an entire 64
bits just for a single bool property, so PROP_RAW_INT64 and
PROP_RAW_UINT64 are expected to be unused.
Performance Changes
Providing raw types allows for faster access through
rna_access.cc#rna_raw_access, especially when a buffer compatible with
the property's raw type is passed through from
bpy_rna.cc#foreach_getset.
Before this patch, the bpy.types.Keyframe.handle_left_type property
did not have raw access, so foreach_getset would fall back to
PROP_RAW_INT being the compatible type and then use the slower loop in
rna_raw_access.
With this patch, the bpy.types.Keyframe.handle_left_type property has
raw access with the PROP_RAW_UINT8 type. Using a buffer compatible
with this raw type can use the faster memcpy loop in
rna_raw_access. Using a Python list will iterate the list into an
array whose type matches PROP_RAW_UINT8, which will also use the
faster memcpy loop in #rna_raw_access.
