This can be used to avoid redundant looping when we only want to know if a list is smaller then some size.
also remove paranoid NULL check in list counting.
from Lawrence D'Oliveiro (ldo)
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.
* add BLI_rfindlink for reverse index lookup (used so bm.select_history[-1] doesn't have to loop the entire list twice).
* add bm.select_history.active so you can get the last selected item or None without having to check seq length.
- 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.
- 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().
* utility function BLI_findstring to avoid listbase lookup loops everywhere.
eg:
ListBase *lb= objects= &CTX_data_main(C)->object;
Object *ob= BLI_findstring(lb, name, offsetof(ID, name) + 2);
* made some more math functions use const's, (fix warnings I made in previous commits)
Added a utility function to check which transforms for an object or bone are animated, returning these as bitflags and/or optionally retrieving the relevant F-Curves too. Beware that this method may not be working correctly yet, but it shouldn't hurt anyone in the meantime :)
Also, split RNA-path building function up into a version which only creates the path up to the given struct, with the other parts being added later.
Implementation Note:
* Moved the scene copy/unlink code back into blenkernel, with
the exception of the copy single user stuff which is still in
object_edit.c.
* Uses SCREENDELETE notifier like SCREENBROWSE, seems only clean
way to do this now.
