This was introduced in 23c93873f4.
This could be moved to deg_flush_base_flags_and_settings but since we
only need this for duplis I think it's fine to be handled separately.
Use indirect access to it via object.
It was already flushing from base to object, now we can avoid such flushing.
Still weird to have selection color filled in by dependency graph, but now
there is no synchronization going on at least.
This commit extends the work from Dalai made around scene iterators to
support iterating into objects from dupli-lists.
Changes can be summarized as:
- Depsgraph iterator will hold pointer to an object which created current
duplilist. It is available via `dupli_parent` field of the iterator.
It is only set when duplilist is not NULL and guaranteed to be NULL
for all other cases.
- Introduced new depsgraph.duplis collection which gives a more extended
information about depsgraph iterator. It is basically a collection on top
of DEGObjectsIteratorData.
It is used to provide access to such data as persistent ID, generated space
and so on.
Things which still needs to be done/finished/clarified:
- Need to introduce some sort of `is_instance` boolean property which will
indicate Python and C++ RNA that we are inside of dupli-list.
- Introduce a way to skip dupli-list for particular objects.
So, for example, if we are culling object due to distance we can skip all
objects it was duplicating.
- Introduce a way to skip particular duplicators.
So we can skip iterating into particle system.
- Introduce some cleaner API for C side of operators to access all data such as
persistent ID and friends.
This way we wouldn't need de-reference iterator and could keep access to such
data really abstract. Who knows how we'll be storing internal state of the
operator in the future.
While there is still stuff to do, current state works and moves us in the proper
direction.
Now dupli groups, objects, particles, ... are all working.
This introduces a flag for the iterator to determine whether we go over
Set and dupli objects or not.
Important to remember to keep the iteration of DEG_ as readonly.
Cycles is not working well for dupli groups, and it's memleaking
for dupli particles. So for now we iterate over main objects and set
only, not dupli.
To change that go in rna_scene.c and:
-DEG_OBJECT_ITER(graph, ob, DEG_OBJECT_ITER_FLAG_SET)
+DEG_OBJECT_ITER(graph, ob, DEG_OBJECT_ITER_FLAG_ALL)
Review and suggestions by Sergey Sharybin
Selection code needs to iterate over DEG_OBJECT_ITER otherwise we won't
get modifiers, dupli objects, ...
Also make selection respect selectability flag.
Review by: Sergey Sharybin
Pending: Include the set in the rna depsgraph.objects
In fact it would be nice to unify them both. However this will likely
change once Depsgraph incorporate this iterator, so I'm not sure we
should bother with that.

Even though this will have to change once we get workspaces, we will
still have a depsgraph for the Scene.
This is required for the upcoming depsgraph.objects RNA iterator.
The first character of the ID type was used to tag IDs for updates which
is weak since different IDs can have the same first character (for
example meshes, materials and metaballs), causing unnecessary updates of
unrelated IDs.
Now we use a unique index per ID type to tag for updates, unifying IDs
arrays indexing along the way.

This is mainly a maintenance commit which was aimed to make work with
this module more pleasant and solve such issues as:
- Annoyance with looong files, which had craftload in them
- Usage of STL for the data structures we've got in BLI
- Possible symbol conflicts
- Not real clear layout of what is located where
So in this commit the following changes are done:
- STL is prohibited, it's not really predictable on various compilers,
with our BLI algorithms we can predict things much better.
There are still few usages of std::vector, but that we'll be
solving later once we've got similar thing in BLI.
- Simplify foreach loops, avoid using const_iterator all over the place.
- New directory layout, which is hopefully easier to follow.
- Some files were split, some of them will be split soon.
The idea of this is to split huge functions into own files with
good documentation and everything.
- Removed stuff which was planned for use in the future but was never
finished, tested or anything.
Let's wipe it out for now, and bring back once we really start using
it, so it'll be more clear if it solves our needs.
- All the internal routines were moved to DEG namespace to separate
them better from rest of blender.
Some places now annoyingly using DEG::foo, but that we can olve by
moving some utility functions inside of the namespace.
While working on this we've found some hotspot in updates flush, so
now playback of blenrig is few percent faster (something like 96fps
with previous master and around 99-100fps after this change).
Not saying it's something final, there is still room for cleanup and
API simplification, but those might happen as a regular development
now without doing any global changes.
This commit integrates the work done so far on the new dependency graph system,
where goal was to replace legacy depsgraph with the new one, supporting loads of
neat features like:
- More granular dependency relation nature, which solves issues with fake cycles
in the dependencies.
- Move towards all-animatable, by better integration of drivers into the system.
- Lay down some basis for upcoming copy-on-write, overrides and so on.
The new system is living side-by-side with the previous one and disabled by
default, so nothing will become suddenly broken. The way to enable new depsgraph
is to pass `--new-depsgraph` command line argument.
It's a bit early to consider the system production-ready, there are some TODOs
and issues were discovered during the merge period, they'll be addressed ASAP.
But it's important to merge, because it's the only way to attract artists to
really start testing this system.
There are number of assorted documents related on the design of the new system:
* http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Aligorith/GSoC2013_Depsgraph#Design_Documents
* http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/DependencyGraph
There are also some user-related information online:

Kudos to everyone who was involved into the project:
- Joshua "Aligorith" Leung -- design specification, initial code
- Lukas "lukas_t" Toenne -- integrating code into blender, with further fixes
- Sergey "Sergey" "Sharybin" -- some mocking around, trying to wrap up the
project and so
- Bassam "slikdigit" Kurdali -- stressing the new system, reporting all the
issues and recording/writing documentation.
- Everyone else who i forgot to mention here :)
