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.

A few related improvements to the three functions:
- Reduce variable scope
- Use for loops instead of while loops
- Use const, bool instead of int
- Generally make logic easier to read
This replaces header include guards with `#pragma once`.
A couple of include guards are not removed yet (e.g. `__RNA_TYPES_H__`),
because they are used in other places.
This patch has been generated by P1561 followed by `make format`.

This is old logic that no longer makes sense in the new depsgraph, and causes
issues when multiple threads try to modify the same bevel object.

Curve function had two arguments:
- for_render, which was originally supposed to be used to control
whether viewport or render visibility for modifiers is to be
used.
- use_render_resolution, which sounds like it is supposed to control
whether viewport or render resolution for curves is to be used.
What is totally confusing is that those arguments were used
interchangeably: sometimes use_render_resolution would control
modifiers visibility.
This commit makes it so there is one single argument for this.

This was caused by curves pointing to each other
creating a cyclic dependency.
While the dependency graph detects this, generating a mesh for render
recursively generates data which cashes in this case.
Add in a check to detect cyclic links.
Note, this bug exists in 2.7x too - but only crashes on render
since 2.7x didn't use 'for_render' when converting data.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

This is often invalid, outdated or misleading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.
Not exactly sure why we did not have cached displist for bevel object
here... But anyway, that conversion operation should really happen
outside of depsgraph evaluation area, so makes sense to do it as when
generating geometry for rendering, imho. Also solves issues like loosing
hidden parts of the curve/surface, etc. Still using viewport resolution
for curves, though.
The depsgraph was always created within a fixed evaluation context. Passing
both risks the depsgraph and evaluation context not matching, and it
complicates the Python API where we'd have to expose both which is not so
easy to understand.
This also removes the global evaluation context in main, which assumed there
to be a single active scene and view layer.

2.8x branch added bContext arg in many places,
pass eval-context instead since its not simple to reason about what
what nested functions do when they can access and change almost anything.
Also use const to prevent unexpected modifications.
This fixes crash loading files with shadows,
since off-screen buffers use a NULL context for rendering.
Note that some little parts of code have been dissabled because eval_ctx
was not available there. This should be resolved once DerivedMesh is
replaced.
Summary:
Made objects update happening from multiple threads. It is a task-based
scheduling system which uses current dependency graph for spawning new
tasks. This means threading happens on object level, but the system is
flexible enough for higher granularity.
Technical details:
- Uses task scheduler which was recently committed to trunk
(that one which Brecht ported from Cycles).
- Added two utility functions to dependency graph:
* DAG_threaded_update_begin, which is called to initialize threaded
objects update. It will also schedule root DAG node to the queue,
hence starting evaluation process.
Initialization will calculate how much parents are to be evaluation
before current DAG node can be scheduled. This value is used by task
threads for faster detecting which nodes might be scheduled.
* DAG_threaded_update_handle_node_updated which is called from task
thread function when node was fully handled.
This function decreases num_pending_parents of node children and
schedules children with zero valency.
As it might have become clear, task thread receives DAG nodes and
decides which callback to call for it.
Currently only BKE_object_handle_update is called for object nodes.
In the future it'll call node->callback() from Ali's new DAG.
- This required adding some workarounds to the render pipeline.
Mainly to stop using get_object_dm() from modifiers' apply callback.
Such a call was only a workaround for dependency graph glitch when
rendering scene with, say, boolean modifiers before displaying
this scene.
Such change moves workaround from one place to another, so overall
hackentropy remains the same.
- Added paradigm of EvaluaitonContext. Currently it's more like just a
more reliable replacement for G.is_rendering which fails in some
circumstances.
Future idea of this context is to also store all the local data needed
for objects evaluation such as local time, Copy-on-Write data and so.
There're two types of EvaluationContext:
* Context used for viewport updated and owned by Main. In the future
this context might be easily moved to Window or Screen to allo
per-window/per-screen local time.
* Context used by render engines to evaluate objects for render purposes.
Render engine is an owner of this context.
This context is passed to all object update routines.

That ended up in tricky code trying to mimic depsgraph
branch behavior API-wise preserving texspace and bound
box calculation compatible with previous releases.
So for now bring cu->disp back to the trunk but keep
texpsace and boundbox APIs the same as in the branch.
This keeps texpsapce and boundbox behavior fully compatible
with previous releases and still makes API the same as
for meshes.
previous commit was incorrect, the face flipping depended on the orientation of the curve.
fix by passing the bevel direction to the fill function so we can have a reliable front/back.
This also gives some speedup for all curve filling since we can avoid calculating the normal since its already known.
modifiers with text/curve/surface objects.
This is because the code here did not yet support the distinction between
generating the tesselated mesh at viewport/render resolution and generating a
separate displist/derivedmesh for render that is not stored in the object but
created and freed on the fly.
note: BPY_class_validate() could come in handy later if we need to check classes for properties/functions but for now there is no point in keeping it in.
