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.
Change Scene.frame_set so that it ensures subframe in range [0,1[ as Blender
expects, otherwise some things like physics point cache lookups don't get
evaluated properly.
* Motion blur with shutter time > 1 did result in the correct evaluation
of some modifiers because it set the subframe to values > 1, and some
places assume the current frame to be set to the integer coordinate and
the subframe to be a value between 0 and 1.
* Shape keys did not take subframe time offsets into account.
* Point density texture was using an current frame value that was never set.
- Make sure functions are named in way BKE_<object>_<action> (same way as RNA callbacks)
- Make functions which are used by mball.c only static and remove their prototypes
from public header file.
Further cleanup is coming.
This report points out thet absolute shape keys are unusable.
The problem is there was no way to adjust the play time of a shape key (all absolte shape keys would start at frame zero with no way to change the speed).
Added an 'eval_time' property to the key block that works like the curve path evaluation time, so the time in the keyblock can be controlled.
These changes are to make the bmesh api more consistent and easier to learn, grouping similar functions which is convenient for autocomplete.
This uses similar convention to RNA.
* use face/loop/edge/vert as a prefix for functions.
* use 'elem' as a prefix too for functions that can take any type with a BMHeader.
* changed from camel case to underscore separated (like RNA).
- remove unneeded type check from convert grease pencil operator.
- correct some error prints & use __func__.
- make copy_libblock take an ID* argument rather than void*.
duplicate of BKE_curframe() which just takes two extra args.
For the few calls in the physics engine where CFRA+1 instead of CFRA
was being used, I've added a new BKE_nextframe() call, which will
calculate for CFRA+1 instead of CFRA in much the same way that
bsystem_time() would end up doing things (which means including
subframe steps).
