This patch adds a to_curve method to the Object ID. This method is
analogous to the to_mesh method. The method can operate on curve and
text objects. For text objects, the text is converted into a 3D Curve ID
and that curve is returned. For curve objects, if apply_modifiers is
true, the spline deform modifiers will be applied and a Curve ID with
the result will be returned, otherwise a copy of the curve will be
returned.
The goal of this addition is to allow the developer to access the splines
of text objects and to get the result of modifier applications which was
otherwise not possible.

Add Custom Space to the list of space conversions for constraints.
Constraints can use World Space, Local Space, Pose Space, Local with
Parent, and now also Custom Space with a custom object to define the
evaluation space.
The Custom Space option uses the Local Space of an other
object/bone/vertex group. If selected on owner or target it will show a
box for object selection. If an armature is selected, then it will also
show a box for bone selection. If a mesh object is selected it will show
the option for using the local space of a vertex group.

Add selection syncing for object add named (e.g. drag and drop from
outliner to 3D view), outliner right click (a sync when the context menu
is cancelled), and for object selection from Python.
Follow up of b2ee1770d4 and 10c2254d41, part of T74432.
Now the area and region naming conventions should be less confusing.
Mostly a careful batch rename but had to do few smaller fixes.
Also ran clang-format on affected files.
The files are now split up into the following sections:
- `BKE_anim_path.h` and `anim_path.c` for path/curve functions.
- `BKE_anim_visualization.h` and `anim_visualizationanim_path.c` for
animation visualization (mostly motion paths).
- `BKE_duplilist.h` for DupliList function declarations. These were
already implemented in `object_dupli.c`, so they were rather out of
place being declared in `BKE_anim.h` in the first place.
No functional changes.
This reverts commit 7728bfd4c4.
Although this brings back an inconsistency in the behaviour of
constraints on objects and bones, people were relying on the old
behaviour, and the new behaviour broke their files.
It is still desired to remove this inconsistency, but it will happen
more gradually.
This is in preparation of new object types. This only changes mesh_eval, we

When you switch between debug/release mode a lot, you could end up

In 2011 special handling was introduced, apparently for no other
reason than to address a complaint in T25707 that World and Local
space are equivalent for objects without parent. This causes issues
and confusion, as mentioned in rB599c8a2c8e4.
This special meaning of Local Space is not documented in the manual,
and is not known to experienced riggers, so removing it should not
be a problem.

The local view check in the RNA didn't support instanced objects. Every
object has a copy of the local_view_bits from the base. This patch
changes the check to look at the local stored bits.
This patch removes the check if the object is part of the view_layer.
In the cases we are using it this check is not relevant. The `mesh_tissue`
add-on also uses it, and is not effected by this change.

This diff will add support for local view to Cycles rendered preview mode.
Currently the implementation shows same results as EEVEE does. This entails
a difference with Blender 2.79, where lights were automatically added to the
local view. {T69780} describes this should be solved before the next release.
This patch also solves missing `owner_id` issues when using the RNA CPP Api
from Cycles. Cycles didn't provide the `owner_id` making some functionality
fail, what then was worked around in Blender. It also fixes an issue in
`makesrna` where incorrect CPP code was generated when only `PARM_RNAPTR`
was provided.
An optional `view_layer` parameter is added to the `Object.local_view_get`
method to reduce lookups.

This commit adds support to convert curves to Grease Pencil strokes and create the materials too.
Also, there is a new python API. This API is required by the modified SVG import addon to create strokes( see T67065).
All curves selected in one operation are converted in the same Grease Pencil object.
The old layout of `PointerRNA` was confusing for historic reasons:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct {
void *data;
} id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
This patch updates it to:
```
typedef struct PointerRNA {
struct ID *owner_id;
struct StructRNA *type;
void *data;
} PointerRNA;
```
Throughout the code base `id.data` was replaced with `owner_id`.
Furthermore, many explicit pointer type casts were added which
were implicit before. Some type casts to `ID *` were removed.

This change ensures that operators which needs access to evaluated data
first makes sure there is a dependency graph.
Other accesses to the dependency graph made it more explicit about
whether they just need a valid dependency graph pointer or whether they
expect the graph to be already evaluated.
This replaces OPTYPE_USE_EVAL_DATA which is now removed.
Some general rules about usage of accessors:
- Drawing is expected to happen from a fully evaluated dependency graph.
There is now a function to access it, which will in the future control
that dependency graph is actually evaluated.
This check is not yet done because there are some things to be taken
care about first: for example, post-update hooks might leave scene in
a state where something is still tagged for update.
- All operators which needs to access evaluated state must use
CTX_data_ensure_evaluated_depsgraph().
This function replaces OPTYPE_USE_EVAL_DATA.
The call is generally to be done in the very beginning of the
operator, prior other logic (unless this is some comprehensive
operator which might or might not need access to an evaluated state).
This call is never to be used from a loop.
If some utility function requires evaluated state of dependency graph
the graph is to be passed as an explicit argument. This way it is
clear that no evaluation happens in a loop or something like this.
- All cases which needs to know dependency graph pointer, but which
doesn't want to actually evaluate it can use old-style function
CTX_data_depsgraph_pointer(), assuming that underlying code will
ensure dependency graph is evaluated prior to accessing it.
- The new functions are replacing OPTYPE_USE_EVAL_DATA, so now it is
explicit and local about where dependency graph is being ensured.
This commit also contains some fixes of wrong usage of evaluation
functions on original objects. Ideally should be split out, but in
reality with all the APIs being renamed is quite tricky.
Fixes T67454: Blender crash on rapid undo and select
Speculation here is that sometimes undo and selection operators are
sometimes handled in the same event loop iteration, which leaves

When objects are not in the view layer, just return false rather than throwing
an error. As far as the script is concerned the object is not visible or
selected when it's not in the current view layer.
This call modifies geometry but does not inform anyone about
changes.
After this change it's possible to load edit mesh, then request
evaluated dependency graph and do some interesting things with
the updated object.
This is part of T63244: object.to_mesh ignores object.update_from_editmode
This commit extends dependency graph API with an argument which
denotes that all custom data layers are to be preserved. This
forces modifier stack re-evaluation with more inclusive mask.
Far from ideal, since this might fail in certain configurations
with indirectly used objects which might be missing layers needed
for the current object evaluation. But this is how it worked for
a long time, so should be good enough for until more sophisticated
solution is found.
In order to use this new behavior two things are to be passed:
- Pass keep_all_data_layers=True
- Pass a valid dependency graph.
The dependency graph is only needed if keep_all_data_layers=True
and is NOT to be passed if keep_all_data_layers=False.
If keep_all_data_layers=True the dependency graph MUST be passed.

One of the usecases is to create mesh from an object is a manner similar to
how Apply Modifiers does it, and have it in the bmain so it can be referenced
by other objects.
This usecase is something what went unnoticed in the previous API changes, so
here is a followup.
Summary of changes:
* bpy.meshes.new_from_object() behaves almost the same as before this change.
The difference now is that it now ensures all referenced data-blocks are
original (for example, materials referenced by the mesh).
* object.to_mesh() now creates free-standing Mesh data-block which is outside
of any bmain. The object owns it, which guarantees the memory never leaks.
It is possible to force free memory by calling object.to_mesh_clear().

Main goal here is to make it obvious and predictable about
what is going on.
Summary of changes.
- Access to dependency graph is now only possible to a fully evaluated
graph. This is now done via context.evaluated_depsgraph_get().
The call will ensure both relations and datablocks are updated.
This way we don't allow access to some known bad state of the graph,
and also making explicit that getting update dependency graph is not
cheap.
- Access to evaluated ID is now possible via id.evaluated_get().
It was already possible to get evaluated ID via dependency graph,
but that was a bit confusing why access to original is done via ID
and to evaluated via depsgraph.
If datablock is not covered by dependency graph it will be returned
as-is.
- Similarly, request for original from an ID which is not evaluated
will return ID as-is.
- Removed scene.update().
This is very expensive to update all the view layers.
- Added depsgraph.update().
Now when temporary changes to objects are to be done, this is to
happen on original object and then dependency graph is to be
updated.
- Changed object.to_mesh() to behave the following way:
* When is used for original object modifiers are ignored.
For meshes this acts similar to mesh-copy, not very useful but
allows to keep code paths similar (i.e. for exporter which has
Apply Modifiers option it's only matter choosing between original
and evaluated object, the to_mesh() part can stay the same).
For curves this gives a mesh which is constructed from displist
without taking own modifiers and modifiers of bevel/taper objects
into account.
For metaballs this gives empty mesh.
Polygonization of metaball is not possible from a single object.
* When is used for evaluated object modifiers are always applied.
In fact, no evaluation is happening, the mesh is either copied
as-is, or constructed from current state of curve cache.
Arguments to apply modifiers and calculate original coordinates (ORCO,
aka undeformed coordinates) are removed. The ORCO is to be calculated
as part of dependency graph evaluation.

While shapekeys RNA path handling does support keyblocks (ShapeKeys)
with an `id_data` wrongly set to the geometry instead of the shapkey,
this is really not something to promote. ideally it should be removed at
some point. At least, let's not generate such RNA pointer if we can
avoid it.
Here it was breaking proper showing of animated shapekeys in the UI,
since this expects animated datablocks to have their own animation data
(and 'rooting' keyblocks to their mesh instead of their shapekey ended
up defining their animation in the mesh, not in the shapekey).
Just saying "parent transformation added" doesn't really explain
what this coordinate space does. Thus it seems almost nobody used
it and serious bugs like T61981 went unnoticed.
Add Object.local_view_get/set
Alternate fix which supports removing from local view & checking
if an object is in local view.
Also avoids redundant refresh.
Matches 2.7x Object.layer_local_view capabilities more closely,
without exposing the flag directly.
These new functions control the per view layer object hiding state, similar to
the selection state. All these object state checking functions now also optionally
take a view layer to use instead of the active view layer.
Fixes T62062.
