There were at least three copies of those:
- OB_RECALC* family of flags, which are rudiment of an old
dependency graph system.
- PSYS_RECALC* which were used by old dependency graph system
as a separate set since the graph itself did not handle
particle systems.
- DEG_TAG_* which was used to tag IDs.
Now there is a single set, which defines what can be tagged
and queried for an update. It also has some aggregate flags
to make queries simpler.
Lets once and for all solve the madness of those flags, stick
to a single set, which will not overlap with anything or require
any extra conversion.
Technically, shouldn't be measurable user difference, but some
of the agregate flags for few dependency graph components did
change.
Fixes T58632: Particle don't update rotation settings
Bring back per-viewport localview. This is based on Blender 2.79.
We have a limit of 16 different local view viewports.
We are using both the numpad /, as well as the regular /.
Missing features:
* Hack to make sure lights are always visible.
* Make rendered mode with external engines to support this as well
(probably just need to support this in the RNA iterators).
* Support over 16 viewports by taking existing viewports out of local view.
The code can use a cleanup pass in the future to unify the test to see
if an object is visible (or we can use TESTBASE in more places).
Compared to previous implementation, the following has been changed:
* Threshold: is now an absolute value. This allows a comparison with e.g. radii
that are much larger than selected radius. This is also consistent with
`CURVE_OT_select_similar`
* Radius in world space is the average of the radius scaled in x, y and z
directions
* Since MetaBalls are symmetrical, rotation is only considered from 0 to π/2.
So for example rotations of 90° and -90° are considered equal.
This is also consistent with the way `CURVE_OT_select_similar` works.
Fix/changes from committer (Dalai Felinto):
* Drawing not updating after changes. (see original patch for details).

Add tool options to control how select operates (add/sub/set/and/xor).
Note: edit mode armature select still needs to support all options,
this is complicated by how it handles partial end-point selection.
Before that depsgraph tagging was done from inside notifier listener in
viewport. This had the following issues:
- If there are no viewports, selection tag was not done. Causing possible
issues when object becomes visible.
- Required special trickery to detect which data to tag for update.
- Was causing crash when transforming/selecting markers in clip editor.
This is because selecting marker needed to poke viewport to redraw, since
selected bundles will be displayed differently in viewport.
The depsgraph was always created within a fixed evaluation context. Passing
both risks the depsgraph and evaluation context not matching, and it
complicates the Python API where we'd have to expose both which is not so
easy to understand.
This also removes the global evaluation context in main, which assumed there
to be a single active scene and view layer.

2.8x branch added bContext arg in many places,
pass eval-context instead since its not simple to reason about what
what nested functions do when they can access and change almost anything.
Also use const to prevent unexpected modifications.
This fixes crash loading files with shadows,
since off-screen buffers use a NULL context for rendering.
Note that some little parts of code have been dissabled because eval_ctx
was not available there. This should be resolved once DerivedMesh is
replaced.
Intended to replace legacy GL_SELECT, without the limitations of
sample queries which can't access depth information.
This commit adds VIEW3D_SELECT_PICK_NEAREST and VIEW3D_SELECT_PICK_ALL
which access the depth buffers to detect whats under the pointer,
so initial selection is always the closest item.
The performance of this method depends a lot on the OpenGL
implementations glReadPixels.
Since reading depth can be slow, buffers are cached for object picking
so selecting re-uses depth data, performing 1 draw instead of 3
(for 24, 18, 10 px regions, picking with many items under the pointer).
Occlusion queries draw twice when picking nearest,
so worst case 6x draw calls per selection.
Even with these improvements occlusion queries is faster on AMD hardware.
Depth selection is disabled by default, toggle option under select method.
May enable by default if this works well on different hardware.

Naming here is slightly misleading. We have:
* Number of elements (objects) that can be picked
* Buffer size
* Number of integers in buffer.
Interestingly enough, bufsize in OpenGL (as far as I could find in
examples on the web) and in most of the code refers to the latter and
actual buffer size is only used whenever we do allocations on the heap.
Added an extra defines here to make things a bit clearer:
* MAXPICKELEMS refers to the number of objects that can be picked
* MAXPICKBUF refers to the number of integers in the selection buffer
Also made all buffers use MAXPICKBUF where some used MAXPICKBUF * 4.
That means that some parts of blender will use less space for selection
now. MAXPICKBUF is set to 10000 for 2500 object selection, which can be
changed at any time, but I think 10000 integers on the stack touches the
borders of uglyland anyway.
This patch creates an interface for selection mechanisms in opengl. This
makes it possible to switch between occlusion query based or select
rendermode based selection transparently.
This is really useful on graphics drivers that do not accelerate the
select rendermode path (some ATI cards are notorious for this, and the
new path is used by default there), since occlusion queries are always
hardware accelerated due to their use in games.
The option can be found under system - selection. Auto just enables
occlusion queries for ATI users while the rest of the options enforce
one of the two methods always.
There is just one known change, previous code enforced nearest bone to
always get selected, even when mouse selecting near the same position, I
couldn't replicate the behaviour though.
patch by me with edits and review by Campbell.
Thanks!
