Convention was not to but after discussion on 918941483f we agree its
best to change the convention.
Names now mostly follow RNA.
Some exceptions:
- Use 'nodetrees' instead of 'nodegroups'
since the struct is called NodeTree.
- Use 'gpencils' instead of 'grease_pencil'
since 'gpencil' is a common abbreviation in the C code.
Other exceptions:
- Leave 'wm' as it's a list of one.
- Leave 'ipo' as is for versioning.
Looks like something forgotten at some point, define in callback flags
was there, just not used at all.
Added most obvious cases now (we are probably still missing some), and
proper handling for it in remapping code (when we hit such case, we
'convert' new_id to NULL and go on with it).
Related (as in, exposed by) T62076, but not the actual cause of that bug.
Patch by @sergey.
Note that this is really a bad thing actually, ideally we should never
get that situation (IDs in Main referencing temp IDs outside of it).
That can lead to many possible similar cases...
Fixing that is not trivial though, so for now we'll have to live with
it, until we have migrated *all* of our temp datablocks generation
outside of Main's.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

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This is often invalid, outdated or misleading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.
Main idea is to remove IDs to be deleted from Main, to avoid looping on
them to remove other deleted IDs usage (this is the most expensive
process in ID deletion, by far).
Speed improvements when deleting a large amount of IDs from a Main
containing a lot of them is quite significant, some examples for Objects:
* Removing 1k from 10k: 32% quicker (2.5s to 1.7s).
* Removing 10k from 20k: 60% quicker (59s to 23s).
* Removing 20k from 20k: 99.5% quicker (82s to 0.4s)!
Note however that this process is more risky/touchy, since we by-pass
some safety checks from regular ID removal here.
So will only give access to that code from python API for now (in
separate commit), so that it gets really tested. Also still need to
think about how to hook it up in UI (probably mostly for Outliner),
since we often do higher-level operations there...
Add 'missing' bpy code from BKE_libblock_free_ex(), now both functions
do exactly the same thing, only the later is less flexible (fewer
'exotic' behaviors supported, like handling IDs outside of bmain etc.).
Next step: nuke usages of BKE_libblock_free functions, makes no sense to
have twice the same code around!
The issue was caused by a special code in node tree freeing function
which will free extra fields in the case when tree is not in bmain.
This is how old code was dealing with "nested" trees, but is now
making behavior different from other datablocks. This is exactly
what was confusing copy-on-write logic.
Ideally, ntreeFreeTree() need to behave same as all other datablocks,
ad freeing of data of nested trees should be up to the owner of the
tree (this way it's all explicit and does not depend on check of
some special flag.
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
Explicitly tag copy-on-write form library remap. Previously, this
tag was used implicitly via geometry/transform tagging, which worked
ok for objects. For non-objects we do need to ensure all copies has
correct pointer and the only way to do so is to pass tag explicitly.
There is probably more places in the library remap where this is
needed, but not being familiar with the code makes it difficult to
spot where possible tags are missing.
From startup .blend, add a 'full copy' new scene, and delete its
Collection 1.001 collection. That would make blender crash, once again
due to NULL collection pointer in some ChildrenCollection struct...
Simplify library remapping code to handle special collection/object links
in postprocess. Previously base contained the actual object link which
needed special handling in preprocess, now objects are linked through
collection and the base cache can be updated in postprocess.
Not sure why remap call for static override reference ID pointer was put
there, probably a mistake during some merge back in the days...
But this ended up with self_id of libquery data struct still being set
to previous ID pointer, which could randomly generate crap like falsly
reporting indirect data and such, leading to lost reference datablock at
writefile time...
OVERVIEW
* In 2.7 terminology, all layers and groups are now collection datablocks.
* These collections are nestable, linkable, instanceable, overrideable, ..
which opens up new ways to set up scenes and link + override data.
* Viewport/render visibility and selectability are now a part of the collection
and shared across all view layers and linkable.
* View layers define which subset of the scene collection hierarchy is excluded
for each. For many workflows one view layer can be used, these are more of an
advanced feature now.
OUTLINER
* The outliner now has a "View Layer" display mode instead of "Collections",
which can display the collections and/or objects in the view layer.
* In this display mode, collections can be excluded with the right click menu.
These will then be greyed out and their objects will be excluded.
* To view collections not linked to any scene, the "Blender File" display mode
can be used, with the new filtering option to just see Colleciton datablocks.
* The outliner right click menus for collections and objects were reorganized.
* Drag and drop still needs to be improved. Like before, dragging the icon or
text gives different results, we'll unify this later.
LINKING AND OVERRIDES
* Collections can now be linked into the scene without creating an instance,
with the link/append operator or from the collections view in the outliner.
* Collections can get static overrides with the right click menu in the outliner,
but this is rather unreliable and not clearly communicated at the moment.
* We still need to improve the make override operator to turn collection instances
into collections with overrides directly in the scene.
PERFORMANCE
* We tried to make performance not worse than before and improve it in some
cases. The main thing that's still a bit slower is multiple scenes, we have to
change the layer syncing to only updated affected scenes.
* Collections keep a list of their parent collections for faster incremental
updates in syncing and caching.
* View layer bases are now in a object -> base hash to avoid quadratic time
lookups internally and in API functions like visible_get().
VERSIONING
* Compatibility with 2.7 files should be improved due to the new visibility
controls. Of course users may not want to set up their scenes differently
now to avoid having separate layers and groups.
* Compatibility with 2.8 is mostly there, and was tested on Eevee demo and Hero
files. There's a few things which are know to be not quite compatible, like
nested layer collections inside groups.
* The versioning code for 2.8 files is quite complicated, and isolated behind
#ifdef so it can be removed at the end of the release cycle.
KNOWN ISSUES
* The G-key group operators in the 3D viewport were left mostly as is, they
need to be modified still to fit better.
* Same for the groups panel in the object properties. This needs to be updated
still, or perhaps replaced by something better.
* Collections must all have a unique name. Less restrictive namespacing is to
be done later, we'll have to see how important this is as all objects within
the collections must also have a unique name anyway.
* Full scene copy and delete scene are exactly doing the right thing yet.

This includes DNA data and any reference to the BGE code in Blender itself.
We are bumping the subversion.
Pending tasks:
* Tile/clamp code in image editor draw code.
* Viewport drawing code (so much of this will go away because of BI removal
that we can wait until then to remove this.
- put render iterator in own scope
(would shadow it's own variable if used multiple times).
- enforce semicolon at end of iterator macros.
- no need to typedef one-off macro structs.
