Among all the lines moved around, the general idea is quite simple.
Actually, there are two ideas implemented there.
First one, is when object itself is tagged for update, we tag its
point cache component for evaluation, which makes it so point cache
is properly reset. We do it implicitly because otherwise we'll need
to go everywhere and add explicit tag in almost all the properties.
Second thing is, we link all collider and force fields to a point
cache component using special type of link. This type of link only
allows flush if change is caused by a user update. This way reset
does not happen when change is caused due to animation, but will
properly happen when user causes indirect change to the objects
which are part of physics simulation.
This statistics is only collected when debug_value is different from 0.
Stored in depsgraph node itself, so we can always have access to average data
and other stats which requires persistent storage. This way we also don't waste
time trying to find stats from a separately stored hash map.
This is something deliver form node type, there is no reason to try cache it
anywhere, especially since it's not used in any performance critical code.
Lighter weight dependency graph is what we want.
The idea is to de-duplicate logic in DEG_id_tag_update() and flushing where we
need to translate depsgraph tag or component type to ID level recalc flag.
Currently unused, but is required for Blender 2.8.
Was rather weird and only used for time source. It is simpler to make depsgraph
to keep track of time source directly.
No need to introduce extra entitites without actual need.
The idea is simple: when falling back to one of the nodes which was partially
handled we "resume" checking outgoing relations from the index which we stopped.
This gives about 15-20% depsgraph construction time save.
This is more proper way to go:
- Avoids re-compilation of all dependent files when implementation changes
without changed API,
- Linker should have much simpler time now de-duplicating and getting rid
of redundant implementations.
This is mainly a maintenance commit which was aimed to make work with
this module more pleasant and solve such issues as:
- Annoyance with looong files, which had craftload in them
- Usage of STL for the data structures we've got in BLI
- Possible symbol conflicts
- Not real clear layout of what is located where
So in this commit the following changes are done:
- STL is prohibited, it's not really predictable on various compilers,
with our BLI algorithms we can predict things much better.
There are still few usages of std::vector, but that we'll be
solving later once we've got similar thing in BLI.
- Simplify foreach loops, avoid using const_iterator all over the place.
- New directory layout, which is hopefully easier to follow.
- Some files were split, some of them will be split soon.
The idea of this is to split huge functions into own files with
good documentation and everything.
- Removed stuff which was planned for use in the future but was never
finished, tested or anything.
Let's wipe it out for now, and bring back once we really start using
it, so it'll be more clear if it solves our needs.
- All the internal routines were moved to DEG namespace to separate
them better from rest of blender.
Some places now annoyingly using DEG::foo, but that we can olve by
moving some utility functions inside of the namespace.
While working on this we've found some hotspot in updates flush, so
now playback of blenrig is few percent faster (something like 96fps
with previous master and around 99-100fps after this change).
Not saying it's something final, there is still room for cleanup and
API simplification, but those might happen as a regular development
now without doing any global changes.
