When a change happens which invalidates view layers the syncing will be postponed until the first usage.
This will improve importing or adding many objects in a single operation/script.
`BKE_view_layer_need_resync_tag` is used to tag the view layer to be out of sync. Before accessing
`BKE_view_layer_active_base_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_object_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_collection`
or `BKE_view_layer_object_bases` the caller should call `BKE_view_layer_synced_ensure`.
Having two functions ensures that partial syncing could be added as smaller patches in the future. Tagging a
view layer out of sync could be replaced with a partial sync. Eventually the number of full resyncs could be
reduced. After all tagging has been replaced with partial syncs the ensure_sync could be phased out.
This patch has been added to discuss the details and consequences of the current approach. For clarity
the call to BKE_view_layer_ensure_sync is placed close to the getters.
In the future this could be placed in more strategical places to reduce the number of calls or improve
performance. Finding those strategical places isn't that clear. When multiple operations are grouped
in a single script you might want to always check for resync.
Some areas found that can be improved. This list isn't complete.
These areas aren't addressed by this patch as these changes would be hard to detect to the reviewer.
The idea is to add changes to these areas as a separate patch. It might be that the initial commit would reduce
performance compared to master, but will be fixed by the additional patches.
**Object duplication**
During object duplication the syncing is temporarily disabled. With this patch this isn't useful as when disabled
the view_layer is accessed to locate bases. This can be improved by first locating the source bases, then duplicate
and sync and locate the new bases. Will be solved in a separate patch for clarity reasons ({D15886}).
**Object add**
`BKE_object_add` not only adds a new object, but also selects and activates the new base. This requires the
view_layer to be resynced. Some callers reverse the selection and activation (See `get_new_constraint_target`).
We should make the selection and activation optional. This would make it possible to add multiple objects
without having to resync per object.
**Postpone Activate Base**
Setting the basact is done in many locations. They follow a rule as after an action find the base and set
the basact. Finding the base could require a resync. The idea is to store in the view_layer the object which
base will be set in the basact during the next sync, reducing the times resyncing needs to happen.

- ACTIVE flag is no longer in use.
- DESELECT was used in some places as an alias for false,
even though this could arguably help readability, in practice this
was often passed with a selection flag leading to confusing calls
such as `select_beztriple(bezt, DESELECT, SELECT, HIDDEN)`.
Replace SELECT/DESELECT with true/false in these cases.
- Remove ED_types.h. Add a 'SELECT' definition to DNA_anim_types.h,

the define entirely in favor of typed enums.

The only difference between `GPU_SHADER_2D_LINE_DASHED_UNIFORM_COLOR`

shader the 2D version uses `vec4(pos, 0.0, 1.0)` and the 3D version
uses `vec4(pos, 1.0)`.
But VBOs with 2D attributes work perfectly in shaders that use 3D
attributes. Components not specified are filled with components from
`vec4(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)`.
So there is no real benefit to having two different shader versions.

`rna_access.c` is a quite big file, which makes it rather hard and

Timeline marker names are now correctly clipped instead of messily
overlapping each other and being unreadable. This change affects all
the animation editors (graph editor, NLA, action editor etc.) as well
as the VSE.
This also makes a change to when text is elevated. In the previous
behavior, a marker's text would be elevated if it was selected or if
the current frame was <= 4 frames away from the marker. This seems
like a completely arbitrary thing (probably added in to alleviate text
overlapping for markers that the user would be interested in). This
patch changes the behavior such that the marker's text will be elevated
if it is either selected or it is the last marker encountered relative
to the current frame.
The filter was missing in some places that are using channel data as if it was f-curve channel.
There seems to be no related issue or bug, but still it would be best to have them there.

Rename and refactor several F-curve key manipulation functions, and move
them from `editors` to `blenkernel`.
The functions formerly known as `delete_fcurve_key`,
`delete_fcurve_keys`, and `clear_fcurve_keys` have been moved from
`ED_keyframes_edit.h` to `BKE_fcurve.h` and have been renamed according
to hierarchical naming rules.
Below is a table of the naming changes.
| From | To |
| -- | -- |
| `delete_fcurve_key(fcu, index, do_recalc)` | `BKE_fcurve_delete_key(fcu, index)` |
| `delete_fcurve_keys(fcu)` | `BKE_fcurve_delete_keys_selected(fcu)` |
| `clear_fcurve_keys(fcu)` | `BKE_fcurve_delete_keys_all(fcu)` |
| `calchandles_fcurve()` | `BKE_fcurve_handles_recalc()` |
| `calchandles_fcurve_ex()`| `BKE_fcurve_handles_recalc_ex()` |
The function formerly known as `delete_fcurve_key` no longer takes a
`do_fast` parameter, which determined whether or not to call
`calchandles_fcurve`. Now, the responsibility is on the caller to run
the new `BKE_fcurve_handles_recalc` function if they have want to
recalculate the handles.
In addition, there is now a new static private function called
`fcurve_bezt_free` which sets the key count to zero and frees the key
array. This function is now used in couple of instances of functionally
equivalent code. Note that `BKE_fcurve_delete_keys_all` is just a
wrapper around `fcurve_bezt_free`.
This change was initially spurred by the fact that `delete_fcurve_keys`
was improperly named; this was a good opportunity to fix the location
and naming of a few of these functions.

Grease Pencil animation channels are now also shown in the Dopesheet
mode of the Dopesheet editor and in the Timeline.
Grease pencil related events are now listened not only by container
`SACTCONT_GPENCIL` (Grease Pencil Dopesheet), but also
`SACTCONT_DOPESHEET` (main Dopesheet), and `SACTCONT_TIMELINE`
(timeline).
A new Animation Filter flag was added: `ANIMFILTER_FCURVESONLY`. For now
this only filters out Grease Pencil Layer channels.
**Implemented:**
- Preview range set: now only considers selected Grease Pencil keyframes
when `onlySel` parameter is true. Not only this allows the operator to
work with grease pencil keyframes in main dopesheet, but it also fixes
the operator in the Grease Pencil dopesheet.
- Translation: allocation (and freeing) of specific memory for
translation of Grease Pencil keyframes.
- Copy/Paste: call to both Fcurve and GPencil operators, to allow for
mixed selection. Errors are only reported when both the FCurve and
GPencil functions fail to paste anything.
- Keyframe Type change and Insert Keyframe: removed some code here to
unify Grease Pencil dopesheet and main dopesheet code.
- Jump, Snap, Mirror, Select all/box/lasso/circle, Select left/right,
Clickselect: account for Grease Pencil channels within the channels
loop, no need for `ANIMFILTER_FCURVESONLY` there.
**Not Implemented:**
- Graph-related operators. The filter `ANIMFILTER_FCURVESONLY` is
naively added to all graph-related operators, meaning more-or-less all
operators that used `ANIMFILTER_CURVE_VISIBLE`.
- Select linked: is for F-curves channel only
- Select more/less: not yet implemented for grease pencil layers.
- Clean Keys, Sample, Extrapolation, Interpolation, Easing, and Handle
type change: work on Fcurve-channels only, so the
`ANIMFILTER_FCURVESONLY` filter is activated
Graying out these operators (when no fcurve keyframe is selected) can be
done with custom poll functions BUT may affect performance. This is NOT
done in this patch.
**Dopesheet Summary Selection:**
The main summary of the dopesheet now also takes into account Grease
Pencil keyframes, using some nasty copy/pasting of code, as explained
[on devtalk](https://devtalk.blender.org/t/gpencil-layers-integration-in-main-dopesheet-selection-issue/24527).

Patch implements better way to control playback speed than it is
possible to do with speed effect. Speed factor property can be set in
Time panel.
There are 2 layers of control:
Option to retime movie to match scene FPS rate.
Custom speed factor to control playback rate.
Since playback rate is strip property, it is now possible to manipulate
strip as normal one even if it is retimed.
To facilitate manipulation, some functions need to consider speed factor
and apply necessary corrections to strip offset or strip start. These
corrections may need to be float numbers, so start and offsets must be
float as well.
Sound strips now use speed factor instead of pitch. This means, that
strips will change length to match usable length. In addition, it is
possible to group movie and sound strip and change speed of meta strip.
NOTE: this patch originated in T98015 which was split into multiple
reports. While it could be split into multiple patches these are very
much related so keeping as one for now
This patch fixes the following issues:
[1] autokeying transforms in preview only creates keyframes if there is
an FCurve already
[2] autokeying transforms in preview only creates keyframes for
rotation/scale if rotating/scaling around cursor (should keyframe
position as well)
[3] autokeying transforms in preview does not work during animation
playback
For [1], a param was added to `ED_autokeyframe_property` which can tweak
its default behavior of only creating keyframes on already keyed
properties (which was fine because this is mostly called from buttons
where this behavior is desired). Callers such as gizmos (or the VSE in
our case) can use this additional param so that keyframes are also
created on "not-yet-keyframed" properties.
For [2], the pivot is checked and position properties also keyed if
necessary (which is also consistent with the way objects are keyed in
the 3DView)
For [3], `animrecord_check_state` was changed to be able to work on
scenes as well and the transform system in the VSE preview was made
aware of the screen's `animtimer`.
NOTE: there are still things to be improved for keyframing in the VSE,
the most obvious is probably a `keyframe_insert` operator (with
keyingsets)
