- rna array parsing was using PySequence_Size() in a loop, this can be slow to run so only call once.
- assigning a single value to a multi-dimensional array was missing type check.
- improve exception messages for rna array type errors.
- simplify vector slice assignment by using mathutils_array_parse(...)
- avoid looping over the entire collection unless a negative index is used.
- dont use the get index function for building the slice list, instead loop over the collection until the stop value.
Speedup for getting collection indices, avoid getting the collection length unless a negative index is given. This avoids a loop over the entire collection in many cases.
Speedup for getting collection slices by detecting collection[:] and internally calling collection.values(), this gives a big speedup with some collections because each slice item would loop over the list until that index was found.
Rough test with 336 objects.
- getting index of listbase collection ~ 5.0x faster
- getting index of array collection ~ 1.15x faster
- getting slices of listbase collections ~ 34.0x faster
- getting slices of array collections ~ 1.5x faster
- Adding drivers from the UI (not from py-scripts though) will now
automatically add a "Transform Channel" driver variable to the newly
created drivers. This makes setting up drivers a bit more convenient
for the most commonly used case.
- Drivers now report their errors using the Reports system instead of
writing these directly to the console.
- Clarified some comments to be more insightful about the "why's" of
some design decisions, and related formatting/cleanup tweaks
- Reduced scope of "path" vars to just the scope they're required in
- Removed some unused defines from a failed experiment in the original
Keying Sets code ("templates" and "template flags") which was
superseeded by the more flexible + nicer "Builtin KeyingSets"
A note for branch users: CMake 2.8 on 64-bit Windows Vista raised
an error in line 948 of soc-2008-mxcurioni/CMakeLists.txt due to
an invalid argument for the blender_include_dirs macro:
blender_include_dirs(${OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR})
The command above should be:
blender_include_dirs("${OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR}")
In windows this was producing Linking dependence errors because we have BLF_api.h in the /blenfont/ and blf_api.h in /python/generic/. It doesn't produces crash out of the box but I was trying to link both "api" files to the same project (Ketjsi folder). For the linking order was determining what header to use. A workaround is to "include" the file using some ../../ relative folder. But renaming it is less error prone.
Probably Ketsji folder shouldn't link to BLF_api.h anyways, but this is something I will look better later before another commit. In the mean time it's not a good idea to have 2 api files with the same name (for non case-sensitive systems).
