It was only used by opengl render and in fact it needed just to
set DISPLAY_BUFFER_INVALID flag for the image buffer.
In theory it wouldn't make any change to opengl render speed
(because this change just moved rect_from_float from color
management code to image save code). And could not see any speed
changes on my laptop.
Was using a different font size with selection and drawing,
But scaling both so they mostly matched.
This made selection shift noticeably when done on an interface zoomed in/out.
The issue wasn't new in fact, just partial buffer update
function was still broken. Not sure how those issues were
not noticed for so long.
Perhaps partial_buffer_update_rect() could be simplified,
but i've got some more upcoming changes here which might
run into conflicts if i'll do simplification now.
Levels of detail can be added and modified in the object panel. The object
panel also contains new tools for generating levels of detail, setting up
levels of detail based on object names (useful for importing), and
clearing an object's level of detail settings. This is meant as a game
engine feature, though the level of details settings can be previewed in
the viewport.

This also simplifies button clipping which was attempting to detect
offsets that were applied afterwards,
Now apply text clipping after adjusting the button rect margins.
Summary:
Mainly addressed to solve old TODO with color managed fallback
to CPU mode when displaying render result during rendering.
That fallback was caused by the fact that partial image update
was always acquiring image buffer for composite output and was
only modifying display buffer directly.
This was a big issue for Cycles rendering which renders layers
one by one and wanted to display progress of each individual
layer. This lead to situations when display buffer was based on
what Cycles passes via RenderResult and didn't take layer/pass
from image editor header into account.
Now made it so image buffer which partial update is operating
with always corresponds to what is set in image editor header.
To make Cycles displaying progress of all the layers one by one
made it so image_rect_update switches image editor user to
newly rendering render layer. It happens only once when render
engine starts rendering next render layer, so should not be
annoying for navigation during rendering.
Additional change to render engines was done to make it so
they're able to merge composite output to final result
without marking tile as done. This is done via do_merge_result
argument to end_result() callback. This argument is optional
so should not break script compatibility.
Additional changes:
- Partial display update for Blender Internal now happens from
the same thread as tile rendering. This makes it so display
conversion (which could be pretty heavy actually) is done in
separate threads. Also gives better UI feedback when rendering
easy scene with small tiles.
- Avoid freeing/allocating byte buffer for render result
if it's owned by the image buffer. Only mark it as invalid
for color management.
Saves loads of buffer re-allocations in cases when having
several image editors opened with render result. This change
in conjunction with the rest of the patch gave around
50%-100% speedup of render time when displaying non-combined
pass during rendering on my laptop.
- Partial display buffer update was wrong for buffers with number
of channels different from 4.
- Remove unused window from RenderJob.
- Made image_buffer_rect_update static since it's only used
in single file.

- Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS and Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS macros cannot be used here, because the Py_BEGIN_ALLOW_THREADS causes a crash when quitting Blender.
- The low level function PyEval_ReleaseLock() is used assuming the Python library was built with multi-threads support.
- works by defining panel categories, currently restricted to the toolbar.
- no panels define bl_categories yet, so no user visible changes since tabs only show when there are multiple.
- panel pinning is available in rmb menu or alt+lmb.
Before this it was a runtime check for number of displays/views
which is rather really annoying.
This simplifies code a bit and allows to do some more tricks
in other patches.
Before it was giving weird behavior with timeline in MCE
and track preview widgets. But there's also no much benefit
of having transparent toolbox there.
Requested by our motrack guru Sebastian ages ago.
Summary:
This commit removes ~10000 strlen calls and ~100000 memcpy calls in blender (profiled with blender --background), ~10000 memcpy calls in makesdna.
There is no need to create null-terminated strings for atoi, because it converts only the initial portion of the string anyway.
Also it was noticed that DNA_elem_array_size and arraysize functions work only with full strings, so there is no point to calculate strlen.
