The idea of those flags is to avoid evaluation of operations
which are not needed to bring visible objects to an up to date
state.
Previously, dependency graph attempted to do combine those
into an ID level flag. In practice it proved to be rather
tricky, since there could be dependency cycles on ID level
which will not exist on component level.
The title says it all actually, the idea is to speedup the following case:
- Visible duplicator of a restricted collection (reported as T56512),
One of the questionable change is that none of the view layer bases is
ignored now. This ensures corresponding objects will have copy-on-write
component evaluated, making it possible to access those pointers. The
evaluation of those objects is skipped.

After discussion with Sergey and Dalai, we have decided to remove
this option completely. We're getting to the point where it is almost
impossible to really use 2.8 without COW, and keeping the old option
running ends up diverting dev resources away towards tracking down
and fixing problems with a parallel system that will be going away.
Previously it could have happened on every request to evaluated scene
or view layer.
This commit also removes expansion of view layer and scene from iterator.
Iterator is not to be used before depsgraph is evaluated.
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.

Fix for T54437: Sequencer preview uses last updated scene
The fix started in master, moving EvaluationContext initialization
before we leave `deg_evaluate_on_refresh()`.
Upon merging master we can fix the actual issue which was to set
the EvaluationContext depsgraph even if the depsgraph was already updated.
This is required to T54437 (sequencer preview uses last updated scene).
Although the fix itself needs to be in 2.8, for the 2.8 specific
initialization code.
- When returning the number of items in a collection use BLI_*_len()
- Keep _size() for size in bytes.
- Keep _count() for data structures that don't store length
(hint this isn't a simple getter).
See P611 to apply instead of manually resolving conflicts.
Helps in cases of not very complex scenes and lots of system threads available.
A bit hard to measure change on it's own, it works best with the upcoming
changes and gives measurable improvements.
Now all the fine-tuning is happening using parallel range settings structure,
which avoid passing long lists of arguments, allows extend fine-tuning further,
avoid having lots of various functions which basically does the same thing.
This statistics is only collected when debug_value is different from 0.
Stored in depsgraph node itself, so we can always have access to average data
and other stats which requires persistent storage. This way we also don't waste
time trying to find stats from a separately stored hash map.
The RenderResult struct still has a listbase of RenderLayer, but that's ok
since this is strictly for rendering.
* Subversion bump (to 2.80.2)
* DNA low level doversion (renames) - only for .blend created since 2.80 started
Note: We can't use DNA_struct_elem_find or get file version in init_structDNA,
so we are manually iterating over the array of the SDNA elements instead.
Note 2: This doversion change with renames can be reverted in a few months. But
so far it's required for 2.8 files created between October 2016 and now.

Was never actually used and implementation seems to be slow: we shouldn't be
doing per-node evaluation hash lookups, adds too much overhead. We can instead
store statistics in the node itself, and maybe even group them somehow.
Ideally such a statistics should be user-friendly so riggers and animators
can see exactly what's happening.

This way evaluation routines will know which exact depsgraph evaluation
is happening for.
Mainly needed to get evaluation flags associated with ID nodes.
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.
The idea is to accumulate all new tasks in a thread local queue
first without doing any thread synchronization (aka, locks and
conditional variables) and move those tasks to a scheduler queue
once they are all ready. This way we avoid per-task-pool lock
and only have one lock per bunch of tasks.
This is particularly handy when scheduling new dependency graph
node children. Brings FPS of cached simulation from the linked
below file from ~30 to ~50.
See documentation for BLI_task_pool_delayed_push_{begin, end}
and for TaskThreadLocalStorage::do_delayed_push.
Fixes T50027: Rigidbody playback and simulation performance regression with new depsgraph
Thanks Bastien for the review!
These bits became obsolete with the new layer system, so we can
simplify some code around them or avoid existing workarounds which
were trying to keep things working for them.
There are still work needed to be done for on_visible_change to
avoid unnecessary updates, but that can also happen later.
Suspended pools allows to push huge amount of initial tasks
without any threading synchronization and hence overhead.
This gives ~50% speedup of cached rigid body with file from
T50027 and seems to have no negative affect in other scenes
here.
