notes from tracker:
use bool for return type from BLI_remlink_safe, necessitating including BLI_utildefines.h in BLI_listbase.h
get rid of duplicate BLI_insertlink, use BLI_insertlinkafter instead.
A few places which were using BLI_insertlinkafter (actually BLI_insertlink), when it would be simpler to use BLI_insertlinkbefore instead.
comparing keymaps was too sloppy or too strict, now sloppy keymap comparison works by setting all the operator
properties to their default values if they are not already set, then compare this with the keymap item (ignoring values missing from either one).
... this way any non default keymap setting wont match with an operator menu item which doesnt set this operator at all (a problem sighted in this bug report).
developer notes:
- IDP_EqualsProperties_ex() function adds an argument to treat missing members of either group to act as if there is a match.
- WM_operator_properties_default() function to reset RNA values to their defaults.
- add IDP_spit(), debug only function to print out ID properties.
found crash while changing operator string size.
Shrinking arrays never worked right.
rather then "newlen * sizeof(...)", it would memcpy "newlen * oldlen * sizeof(...)" which always goes over the array bounds.
- use NULL rather then 0 where possible (makes code & function calls more readable IMHO).
- set static variables and functions (exposed some unused vars/funcs).
- use func(void) rather then func() for definitions.
Probably wouldn't cause a problem but manually editing these types through python could easily crash blender.
also changed cmake, stub-makefile default build dir to be lower case and leave out architecture string, easier for documentation.
Use ../build/linux/ rather then ../build/Linux_i686/
- raise an exception when python calls is_property_set(name) or is_property_hidden(name) and the property does not exist.
- added BLI_findstring_ptr(), which finds a named item in a listbase where that name is a pointer to a string.
- replaced inline for loops with calls to BLI_findstring_ptr() and IDP_GetPropertyFromGroup().
Throwing an exception if the strings too long means scripts need to be aware of string lengths and changing a string length in RNA can too easily break scripts.
Instead honor the string length in RNA_property_string_set()
This means pose bones on proxy poses can have their own values as long as the name and type matches that of the library pose bone.
without this the only way to add new values on a pose bone proxy is to protect in the lib, reload the proxy blend and save.
