I know this is not so much nice to have this guys hanging
around in a general Object datablock and ideally they better
be wrapped around into a structure like DerivedMesh or
something like this. But this is pure runtime only stuff and
we could re-wrap them around later.
Main purpose of this is making curves more thread safe,
so no separate threads will ever start freeing the same path
or the same bevel list.
It also makes sense because path and bevel shall include
deformation coming from modifiers which are applying on
pre-tesselation point and different objects could have
different set of modifiers. This used to be really confusing
in the past and now data which depends on object is stored
in an object, making things clear for understanding even.
This doesn't make curve code fully thread-safe due to
pre-tesselation modifiers still modifies actual nurbs and
lock is still needed in makeDispListsCurveTypes, but this
change makes usage of paths safe for threading.
Once modifiers will stop modifying actual nurbs, curves
will be fully safe for threading.
Actually, this commit also contains wrapping runtime curve
members into own structure
This allows easier assignment on file loading, keeps curve-
specific runtime data grouped and saves couple of bytes in
Object for non-curve types.

Issue was caused by size influence affecting on object's matrix, which
is nice by it's own. But mball code was using ob->size to check whether
it's zero-sized object or not, but then was using ob->obmat to scale
the meta elements.
This lead to situation when zero-sized elements were trying to tessellate,
which is for sure a really bad idea.
This time issue was caused by static variables used in
BKE_scene_base_iter_next function.
Change is not so much ultimate actually, but didn't
find more clear solution for now. So the changes are:
- Wrap almost all the static variables into own context-
like structure, which is owned by the callee function
and getting passed to the iteration function.
- Recursion detection wasn't possible with such approach,
so recursion detection still uses static in_next_object
variable, but which is now stored in thread local
storage (TLS, or thread variable if this names are more
clear for you).
This makes code thread-safe, but for sure final solution
shall be completely different. Ideally, dependency graph
shall be possible to answer on question "which object is
a motherball for this metaball". This will avoid iterating
via all the bases, objects and duplis just to get needed
motherball.
Further, metaball evaluation ideally will use the same
kind of depsgraph filtering, which will get result for
question like "which objects belongs to this group of
metaballs".
But this ideal things are to be solved in Joshua's and
mind GSoC projects.
Tested on linux (gcc and clang) and windows (msvc2008),
hopefully no compilation error will happen.
Thanks to Brecht for reviewing the change and getting
feedback for other possible ways we've dicussed!
of the active object in the 3D view. This was due to sharing a global G.moving
flag to indicate that transform is active, now it's only set per transform data
type so different editors don't influence each other.
Moved all the static variables into a PROCESS
structure which is now passing all over to where
static variables used to be used.
There's still one static variable which is
cubetable, but it's being initialized once
and then used read-only. Maybe we'll need
to move cubetable initialization to blender
startup, but that could wait a bit for now.
For users it means BI rendered viewport
wouldn't crash when using metaballs.

Issue was caused by couple of circumstances:
- Normal Map node requires tesselated faces to compute tangent space
- All temporary meshes needed for Cycles export were adding to G.main
- Undo pushes would temporary set meshes tessfaces to NULL
- Moving node will cause undo push and tree re-evaluate fr preview
All this leads to threading conflict between preview render and undo
system.
Solved it in way that all temporary meshes are adding to that exact
Main which was passed to Cycles via BlendData. This required couple
of mechanic changes like adding extra parameter to *_add() functions
and adding some *_ex() functions to make it possible RNA adds objects
to Main passed to new() RNA function.
This was tricky to pass Main to RNA function and IMO that's not so
nice to pass main to function, so ended up with such decision:
- Object.to_mesh() will add temp mesh to G.main
- Added Main.meshes.new_from_object() which does the same as to_mesh,
but adds temporary mesh to specified Main.
So now all temporary meshes needed for preview render would be added
to preview_main which does not conflict with undo pushes.
Viewport render shall not be an issue because object sync happens from
main thread in this case.
It could be some issues with final render, but that's not so much
likely to happen, so shall be fine.
Thanks to Brecht for review!
now blenlib/BLI doesn't depend on any blenkern/BKE functions,
there are still some bad level includes but these are only to access G.background and the blender version define.
- Make sure functions are named in way BKE_<object>_<action> (same way as RNA callbacks)
- Make functions which are used by mball.c only static and remove their prototypes
from public header file.
Further cleanup is coming.
