- reserve the array sizes to avoid re-allocing (even though its a lower limit it still helps)
- increase array size in larger steps then 1 by 1.
- avoid a few array lookups.
- use more obvious variable naming to make the function more readable.
possiblem, this has to guess when the size is too big so as to re-
well.
If this isnt done, then the number of faces is used to allocate the
initial array to at least avoid many small allocs.
added BLI_array_reserve() to reserve elements and avoid reallocing many
small arrays when the loop starts.
User side:
* Preview for DynamicPaint should keep the same behavior (for now). Weight preview should be somawhat quicker, though.
* Preview for WeightVG modifiers is only active in WeightPaint mode, and if the affected vgroup is the active one.
* Last active preview modifier in stack wins!
Note: that modifier preview topic is yet to be further refined, quite raw/incomplete for now.
Dev side:
* In draw code, renamed DRAW_DYNAMIC_PAINT_PREVIEW flag to DRAW_MODIFIERS_PREVIEW
* Removed use of MOD_DPAINT_PREVIEW_READY in DynamicPaint code (seems unecessary, and if it was, should be of more general scope).
* Added eModifierTypeFlag_UsesPreview to ModifierTypeFlag, for modifiers that can generate some preview data.
* Added three new modifier funcs, to handle preview modifiers in draw code / mod stack.
* For weights preview: added the generic DM_update_weight_mcol func, which can update WEIGHT_MCOL layer with either a given array of weights (currently used by DynamicPaint only), or from current active vgroup(s).
So now, draw code is fully generic (i.e. no more modifier-type checking in it). Mod stack code is generic to some extent, but will need more work.

From the patch:
This patch enables drag and drop parenting for objects in the outliner.
Drag and drop is supported for a selection of multiple objects as well. Also,
all of the "special" parenting tasks (armature, curve, lattice) are possible
through the usual parenting context menus. For example, drag a mesh object onto
an armature and you are prompted for using bone envelopes, automatic weights,
etc.

Problem was, if no vertices were ever added to one of the obect's vgroups, there is no CD_DEFORMVERT layer, even though there might be several valid vgroup indices... Odd no one noticed that earlier.
Many thanks to miikah for finding that bug!

From patch description:
As a follow on from #23443 - committed in r40066 I have added the outliner
filter match highlight colour to the theme settings.
Default colour is a light green matching what was originally hard coded.
Here is the description:
As the summary says, this patch adds a new event to both SCA_PythonKeyboard and SCA_PythonMouse. This property is similar to the events property that both have, but it only returns events which are not KX_NO_INPUTSTATUS. This moves the "no input" check from Python to C, which gave my input handling code a 2x speed up. Python sucks (performance-wise) with iterating lists and SCA_PythonKeyboard has close to 200 events (I think something like 177, but I don't know for sure).
edit a strip in the timeline
Tweaked the behaviour of the overwritting of extrapolation mode so that it is
less destructive when the problems it sets out to fix aren't likely to occur
(namely a top strip blocking everything below it due to extend backwards).
though it initially works
Problem was that in the past it was possible to have multiple strips/tracks
tagged as "active", but now after getting a correct implementation, we can no
longer have that, and thus entering Tweak Mode only works on the last selected
strip.
However this is problematic in cases when you want to tweak the keyframes of
several objects (which may only have a single strip each) in order to get them
to line up with each other. This hack caters for this case (selecting multiple
strips from the same AnimData block is still impossible and insane/illogical and
is not allowed).
This may have implications for some future tools which make assumptions about
certain aspects of NLA state. However, it shouldn't cause too many problems
(hopefully ;)
This commit restores support for freezing or speeding up physics sims. Animate
the "Speed" parameter under Domain->Time, which controls a multiplier factor for
the rate at which the sim proceeds (i.e. the old "Fac-Tim" setting).
Notes:
* Subversion bumped to 4 to patch up defaults for new value so that old sim
files will still run correctly
* Names/descriptions could do with some tweaking
* Porting this across was not that obvious since quite a bit of stuff had
changed (as in, been cleaned up). However, from tests so far, it seems to work
well.
revisions: 38166,38167,38177,38179,38180,38187,38242
To be implemented after merge:
1) add pydocs(rst) for the video texture new defines
2) see if a NodeSetLocalMatrix would fit well
#43439 by kupoman
Changing the worldTransform and localTransform python attributes to use BLI_math to simplify the code
#38242 by kupoman
Adding the constants SOURCE_ERROR, SOURCE_EMPTY, SOURCE_READY, SOURCE_PLAYING, SOURCE_STOPPED to the video texture module. Updates to the documentation will follow after a merge with trunk
#38187 by kupoman
Updates to the documentation to reflect that worldScale is now writable, and added localTransform and worldTransform to KX_GameObject.
#38180 by kupoman
The Transform attribute of KX_GameObject was based on world space data. I converted that one to worldTransform, and added a localTransform for local space transform information.
#38179 by kupoman
Fixed the transform attribute of KX_GameObject's set method to properly deal with negative scaling.
#38177 by kupoman
Updated the transform property on KX_GameObject so that it is now read/write, and added the corresponding set method. Also simplified the get method by calling GetOpenGLMatrix instead of making the matrix myself.
#38167 by kupoman
Adding a read only transform attribute to KX_GameObject that returns a 4x4 matrix representing the object's transformations.
#38166 by kupoman
Adding a worldScale attribute to KX_GameObject. This attribute scales the object independently of its parent's scale.
CCGSubsurf has already a function to disable calculation of normals,
but seems it wasn't used. This patch changes subsurf UV and
subsurf_calculate_limit_positions() to not calculate normals, and also
not allocate space for them.
Should be no functional changes, just a small speedup/less memory use
during subdivision for these cases.
