The initial idea of using char pointer was to save some
memory since the dependency graph was kind of the one
with the main database.
Nowadays dependency graph should be separatable from the
main database and being self-sustainable.
Other issue which was caused by this pointer is the
re-tagging of operations during relations update: it is
possible to have node which as tagged for update but had
the owner of the name removed (i.e. driver or bone was
removed).
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This is often invalid, outdated or misleading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.
Some summary of changes:
- Don't use DEG prefix for types and enumerator values:
the code is already inside DEG namespace.
- Put code where it locally belongs to: avoid having one
single header file with all sort of definitions in it.
- Take advantage of modern C++11 enabled by default.
