When a change happens which invalidates view layers the syncing will be postponed until the first usage.
This will improve importing or adding many objects in a single operation/script.
`BKE_view_layer_need_resync_tag` is used to tag the view layer to be out of sync. Before accessing
`BKE_view_layer_active_base_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_object_get`, `BKE_view_layer_active_collection`
or `BKE_view_layer_object_bases` the caller should call `BKE_view_layer_synced_ensure`.
Having two functions ensures that partial syncing could be added as smaller patches in the future. Tagging a
view layer out of sync could be replaced with a partial sync. Eventually the number of full resyncs could be
reduced. After all tagging has been replaced with partial syncs the ensure_sync could be phased out.
This patch has been added to discuss the details and consequences of the current approach. For clarity
the call to BKE_view_layer_ensure_sync is placed close to the getters.
In the future this could be placed in more strategical places to reduce the number of calls or improve
performance. Finding those strategical places isn't that clear. When multiple operations are grouped
in a single script you might want to always check for resync.
Some areas found that can be improved. This list isn't complete.
These areas aren't addressed by this patch as these changes would be hard to detect to the reviewer.
The idea is to add changes to these areas as a separate patch. It might be that the initial commit would reduce
performance compared to master, but will be fixed by the additional patches.
**Object duplication**
During object duplication the syncing is temporarily disabled. With this patch this isn't useful as when disabled
the view_layer is accessed to locate bases. This can be improved by first locating the source bases, then duplicate
and sync and locate the new bases. Will be solved in a separate patch for clarity reasons ({D15886}).
**Object add**
`BKE_object_add` not only adds a new object, but also selects and activates the new base. This requires the
view_layer to be resynced. Some callers reverse the selection and activation (See `get_new_constraint_target`).
We should make the selection and activation optional. This would make it possible to add multiple objects
without having to resync per object.
**Postpone Activate Base**
Setting the basact is done in many locations. They follow a rule as after an action find the base and set
the basact. Finding the base could require a resync. The idea is to store in the view_layer the object which
base will be set in the basact during the next sync, reducing the times resyncing needs to happen.

to be added in many places. To speed up the review process
the adding of the scene parameter was added in a separate

Currently this isn't used in the key-map, it will eventually
allow the 3D viewports tweak tool to match the behavior of other
editors that support tweaking a selection without first de-selecting
all other elements.
Meta-element selection now follows conventions for other picking
functions (e.g. EDBM_select_pick).
- Split meta-element find-nearest into a separate function.
- Cycle the meta-element starting from the active & selected
instead of comparing & setting a static variable.
- Order elements using depth (from front-to-back)
when cycling multiple elements.
- Add SelectPick_Params struct to make picking logic more
straightforward and easier to extend.
- Use `eSelectOp` instead of booleans (extend, deselect, toggle)
which were used to represent 4 states (which wasn't obvious).
- Handle deselect_all when pocking instead of view3d_select_exec,
de-duplicate de-selection which was already needed in when replacing
the selection in picking functions.
- Handle outliner update & notifiers in the picking functions
instead of view3d_select_exec.
- Fix particle select deselect_all option which did nothing.
Use a shorter/simpler license convention, stops the header taking so

GPU_select originally used GL_SELECT which defined the format for
storing the selection result.
Now this is no longer the case, define our own struct - making the code
easier to follow:
- Avoid having to deal with arrays in both `uint*` and `uint(*)[4]`
multiplying offsets by 4 in some cases & not others.
- No magic numbers for the offsets of depth & selection-ID.
- No need to allocate unused members to match GL_SELECT
(halving the buffer size).
Clear the weird term "Metaelement".
These are the metaballs (elements) inside one metaball objects.
- "Meta Ball" to "Metaball"
- "Metaelement", "Meta element" to "Metaball element"

In two cases the percentage property was actually used incorrectly, as
pointed out in T82070. The range was [0, 1], but the properties were still
displayed as percentages.
There is a preference to control whether to display factors or
percentages, so it usually doesn't make sense to manually define
properties as percentages.

Change how the radius, changing the size of meta plane, sphere & cube.
Previously the size of these primitives would be kept the same,
with only the radius outside the primitive being scaled.
This led to small scale adding a lot of polygons instead
of scaling the primitive down as users would expect.
Also change behavior not to change the resolution when adding
to an existing meta-ball.
Note this only changes cases where the variable was declared inside
the for loop. To handle it outside as well is a different challenge.

Particularly noticeable when vertex painting with a subsurf modifier.
In some cases every sculpt or paint stroke step would evaluate the dependency
graph. This should only happen for redraws. Now more selectively choose if the
dependency graph should be evaluated to initialize the view context. Doing it
in the view context evaluation is somewhat hidden, now it's more explicit.

When using multiple viewlayers and switching between them the selection
gets buggy. The reason for this is that the select_id is updated based
on the index in the viewlayer. This makes the select_id not unique as
objects might be shared or not shared at all.
This fix will update the select_id on all objects in main. This will be triggered in all the selection operators.

This removes `VIEW3D_OT_select_or_deselect_all`, adding a
deselect_all option to the `VIEW3D_OT_select` operator.
- Add utility functions to simplify de-selecting all.
- Return true from selection functions when they change the selection
to avoid redundant updates.
- Use arrays of bases when passing objects between selection utility
functions since some users require bases.
- Fix logical error in box selection that updated all objects after
the first hit.
All edit mode related operators are now "Hide Selected / Reveal Hidden".
Before we had different variatons of them:
Hide Selection:
* MESH_OT_hide
* GPENCIL_OT_selection_opacity_toggle
Hide Selected Bones:
* ARMATURE_OT_hide
Hide:
* MBALL_OT_hide_metaelems
Hide Selected:
* CURVE_OT_hide
* PARTICLE_OT_hide
* POSE_OT_hide
* UV_OT_hide
Reveal Bones:
* ARMATURE_OT_reveal
Reveal:
* MBALL_OT_reveal_metaelems
Operators not renamed:
* Hide Curves (GRAPH_OT_hide)
* Hide (OUTLINER_OT_hide)
Note we can do a step further and mass rename them to match their UI
names. Where Reveal Hidden is Show Hidden. But for now at least they are
all unified.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
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.
