Add a filepath argument to load/save pre/post.
Also add save_post_failed and load_post_failed handlers so it's always
possible to for the pre handlers to run a matching post action.
This makes it possible to know the filepath of the blend file mean
loaded/saved as well as supporting running an action when load/save
operations fail.
When loading and saving the startup-file, the path argument is set to
an empty string.
Details:
New RNA types were added to support storing primitive values in
PointerRNA. Primitive{String/Int/Float/Boolean}RNA. These will likely
only be used in some limited cases, in the case of BKE_callback_exec it
allows strings to be included as part of the PointerRNA **pointers
argument.

Drivers: Introduce the Context Properties
The goal: allow accessing context dependent data, such as active scene camera
without linking to a specific scene data-block. This is useful in cases when,
for example, geometry node setup needs to be aware of the camera position.
A possible work-around without changes like this is to have some scene
evaluation hook which will update driver variables for the currently evaluating
scene. But this raises an issue of linking: it is undesirable that the asset
scene is linked to the shot file.
Surely, it is possible to have post-evaluation handler to clear the variables,
but it all starts to be quite messy. Not to mention possible threading
conflicts.
Another possibility of introducing a way to achieve the goal is to make it so
the dependency graph somehow parses the python expression where artists can
(and already are trying to) type something like:
depsgraph.scene.camera.matrix_world.col[3][0]
But this is not only tricky to implement properly and reliably, it hits two
limitations:
- Currently dependency graph can only easily resolve dependencies to a RNA
property.
- Some properties access which are valid in Python are not considered valid
RNA properties by the existing property resolution functions:
`camera.matrix_world[3][0]` is a valid RNA property, but
`camera.matrix_world.col[3][0]` is not.
Using driver variables allows to have visual feedback when the path resolution
fails, and there is no way to visualize errors in the python expression itself.
This change introduces the new variable type: Context Property. Using this
variable type makes allows to choose between Active Scene and Active View
Layer. These scene and view layer are resolved during the driver evaluation
time, based on the current dependency graph.
This allows to create a driver variable in the following configuration:
- Type: Context Property
- Context Property: Active Scene
- Path: camera.matrix_world[3][0]
The naming is a bit confusing. Tried my best to keep it clear keeping two
aspects in mind: using UI naming when possible, and follow the existing
naming.
A lot of the changes are related on making it so the required data is available
from the variable evaluation functions. It wasn't really clear what the data
would be, and the scope of the changes, so it is done together with the
functional changes.
It seems that there is some variable evaluation logic duplicated in the
`bpy_rna_driver.c`. This change does not change it. It is not really clear why
this separate code path with much more limited scope of supported target types
is even needed.
There is also a possible change in the behavior of the dependency graph: it
is now using ID of the resolved path when building driver variables. It used
to use the variable ID. In common cases they match, but when going into nested
data-blocks it is actually correct to use relation to the resolved ID. Not sure
if there was some code to ensure that, which now can be resolved. Also not sure
whether it is still needed to ensure the ID specified in the driver target is
build as well. Intuitively it is not needed.

New (experimental) Stanford PLY importer and exporter written in C++.
Handles: vertices, faces, edges, vertex colors, normals, UVs. Both
binary and ASCII formats are supported.
Usually 10-20x faster than the existing Python based PLY
importer/exporter.
Additional notes compared to the previous Python addon:
- Importing point clouds with vertex colors now works
- Importing PLY files with non standard line endings
- Exporting multiple objects (previous exporter didn't take the vertex
indices into account)
- The importer has the option to merge vertices
- The exporter supports exporting loose edges and vertices along with
UV map data

During the discussion for #101413 there was consensus that we could make
OIIO a mandatory dependency. This patch does just that.
The `idiff` testing tool remains optional.
Pull Request #105111
This commit adds the ability to generate liboverrides of linked data at
the `BKE_blendfile_link_append` BKE level, and through the Python API
(the `BPY_library_load` context manager, aka `bpy.data.libraries.load`).
The python API was updated essentially to allow easy testing of the new
code. This commit also adds tests for the new 'override' behavior, and
for existing basic link one.
Current code only generates 'basic' overrides, without any handing of
hierarchies or dependencies, as for brush assets only the Brush ID needs
to be overridden.
That new feature does not aim at being exposed to user through the
link/append operations in its current state, as it is way too simplistic.
This change is a requirement for the Brush Asset project (#101908).
Pull Request #104746
Names such as `dummyult` and `dummyet` didn't read very well,
underscore separate these names.
Also rename some variables that used old conventions which missed
being updated (`mpr` for manipulator instead of `gz` for gizmo).
This commit implements described in the #104573.
The goal is to fix the confusion of the submodule hashes change, which are not
ideal for any of the supported git-module configuration (they are either always
visible causing confusion, or silently staged and committed, also causing
confusion).
This commit replaces submodules with a checkout of addons and addons_contrib,
covered by the .gitignore, and locale and developer tools are moved to the
main repository.
This also changes the paths:
- /release/scripts are moved to the /scripts
- /source/tools are moved to the /tools
- /release/datafiles/locale is moved to /locale
This is done to avoid conflicts when using bisect, and also allow buildbot to
automatically "recover" wgen building older or newer branches/patches.
Running `make update` will initialize the local checkout to the changed
repository configuration.
Another aspect of the change is that the make update will support Github style
of remote organization (origin remote pointing to thy fork, upstream remote
pointing to the upstream blender/blender.git).
Pull Request #104755
This better aligns with OSX/Linux warnings.
Although `__pragma(warning(suppress:4100))` is not the same as
`__attribute__((__unused__))` in gcc (which only affects the attribute
instead of the line), it still seems to be better to use it than to
hide the warning entirely.
Added missing documentation for `draw_cursor_add` and
`draw_cursor_remove` methods for `WindowManager`.

User site-packages were disabled unless `--python-use-system-env`
argument was given. This was done to prevent Blender's Python
unintentionally using modules that happened to be installed locally,
however it meant so pip installing modules from Blender would fail to
load those modules (for some users).
Enable user site-packages since it's needed for installing additional
packages via pip, see code-comments for details.
Resolves T104000.
Use a consistent style for declaring the names of struct members
in their declarations. Note that this convention was already used in
many places but not everywhere.
Remove spaces around the text (matching commented arguments) with
the advantage that the the spell checking utility skips these terms.
Making it possible to extract & validate these comments automatically.
Also use struct names for `bAnimChannelType` & `bConstraintTypeInfo`
which were using brief descriptions.
The new Xcode 14.1 brings the new Apple Clang compiler which
considers sprintf unsafe and geenrates deprecation warnings
suggesting to sue snprintf instead. This only happens for C++
code by default, and C code can still use sprintf without any
warning.
This changes does the following:
- Whenever is trivial replace sprintf() with BLI_snprintf.
- For all other cases use the newly introduced BLI_sprintf
which is a wrapper around sprintf() but without warning.
There is a discouragement note in the BLI_sprintf comment to
suggest use of BLI_snprintf when the size is known.

Function casts hid casting between potentially incompatible type
signatures (using int instead of Py_ssize_t). As it happens this seems
not to have caused any bugs on supported platforms so this change is
mainly for correctness and to avoid problems in the future.
Missed these changes in [0].
Also replace designated initializers in some C code, as it's not used
often and would need to be removed when converting to C++.

Use struct identifiers in comments before the value.
This has some advantages:
- The struct identifiers didn't mix well with other code-comments,
where other comments were wrapped onto the next line.
- Minor changes could re-align all other comments in the struct.
- PyVarObject_HEAD_INIT & tp_name are no longer placed on the same line.
Remove overly verbose comments copied from PyTypeObject (Python v2.x),
these aren't especially helpful and get outdated.
Also corrected some outdated names:
- PyTypeObject.tp_print -> tp_vectorcall_offset
- PyTypeObject.tp_reserved -> tp_as_async
Show the windowing environment on non MS-Windows/Apple systems,
since X11/WAYLAND are selected startup there was no convenient way
for users to know which back-end was being used.
Include the windowing environment in the About splash & system-info.txt
since it will be useful for handling bug reports.
This commit adds a private API call not intended for general use
as I would like to be able to remove this later and it's only needed
in the specific case of testing if Blender is using WAYLAND or X11
(which maybe be used via XWayland).
Python scripts can already inspect the system to check which windowing
environment used, the API call is mainly useful for troubleshooting.
Rename BKE_appdir_folder_id_version to
BKE_appdir_resource_path_id_with_version because BKE_appdir_folder_id
and BKE_appdir_folder_id_version didn't accept compatible arguments.
Also add notes to GHOST_getSystemDir & GHOST_getUserDir that
BKE_appdir_resource_path_id(..) should be used instead (in most cases).
Mathutils types were always GC tracked even when it wasn't intended.
Not having to track objects speeds up Python execution.
In an isolated benchmark created to stress test the GC
creating 4-million vectors (re-assigning them 100 times), this gives
an overall ~2.5x speedup, see: P3221.
Details:
Since [0] (which added support for sub-classed mathutils types)
tp_alloc was called which defaults to PyType_GenericAlloc which always
GC tracked the resulting object when Py_TPFLAGS_HAVE_GC was set.
Avoid using PyType_GenericAlloc unless the type is sub-classed,
in that case the object is un-tracked.
Add asserts that the tracked state is as expected before tracking &
un-tracking, to ensure changes to object creation don't cause objects
to be tracked unintentionally.
Also assign the PyTypeObject.tp_is_gc callback so types optionally GC
track objects only do so when an object is referenced.

Calling operators in background-mode always printed with the
assumption that output should never be hidden.
However operators called from `bpy.ops` were also printing reports to
the `stdout` (needed for the Python console and generally useful).
Resolve by adding a flag to signal that the owner of the ReportList
is responsible for printing to the `stdout`.
The following changes have been made to this attribute with
WITH_PYTHON_MODULE is defined:
- Defaults to an empty string (instead of pointing to __init__.so).
- It's writable, so script authors can point to a valid Blender binary.
`where_am_i(..)` is no longer used by BKE_appdir_program_path_init,
there is now a separate code-path for setting the initial program
directory, calls after this can be used to set the binary path.
When Blender is built as a Python module, exit early if the major
and minor versions don't match. Without this, the error message can
be cryptic/unhelpful.
