This provides a speedup to evaluating long F-Curves in fcurve_eval_keyframes()
by using the pre-existing binarysearch_bezt_index() function (used for keyframe
insertion) to find the relevant BezTriple on the FCurve at the current evaltime.
The current code loops over all BezTriples (sometimes not even breaking from the
loop after cvalue has been evaluated).
Reviewer Notes:
- Unlike in the original patch, we use the old/existing logic instead of
checking that (exact == true). See comments in code and also on the tracker
entry for this patch for more details.
Patch By: Josh Wedlake
Summary:
Crash was happening because of fcurve modifier stack
used modifier's DNA to store temporary data.
Now made it so storage for such a thing is being
allocated locally per object update so multiple objects
which shares the same animation wouldn't run into
threading conflict anymore.
This storage might be a part of EvaluationContext,
but that'd mean passing this context all over in
object_where_is which will clutter API for now without
actual benefit for this.
Optimization notes: storage is only being allocated
if there're Cycles modifier in the stack, so there're
no extra allocations happening in all other cases.
To make code a bit less cluttered with this storage
passing all over the place added extra callbacks to
the FModifier storage which runs evaluation with the
given storage.

By default, drivers (used to) automatically map the driver result (i.e.
"evaltime" or the x-coordinates in the driver graphs) to results. This evaltime
=> cvalue mapping is necessary when there are absolutely no keyframes or
modifiers on a driver F-Curve, or else nothing would happen.
However, when there are modifiers on these driver F-Curves, and these modifiers
only work within certain ranges, there would be confusing and unwanted
situations where even if you clamped the modifiers to only generating a curve
within certain frame ranges, the final driver output would still ignore the
results of the curve due to the underlying 1-1 mapping.
This commit introduces a check to ensure that this automatic mapping won't
happen during such invalid ranges.
- when an fcurve had no selected keyframes, a default fallback value was used which caused view-selected to include frame 1, even when no selected frames were there.
- the vertical axis was always reset, ideally we would center vertically too but the way this operator currently works we only know about the frame range,
now don't change the vertical scroll when viewing selected since it would always jump to the top of the screen (view-all still acts this way).
Most of the places which relied on RNA_path_resolve() did so believing that if
it returned true, that it had found a valid property, and that the returned
pointer+property combination would be what the path referred to. However, it
turns out that if the property at the end of the path turns out to be a
"pointer" property (e.g. "data" for Object.data), this would automatically
become the pointer part, while the prop part would be set to null. Hence, if a
user accidentally (or otherwise) specifies a path for the single-property driver
variable type like this, then Blender would crash.
This commit introduces two convenience functions - RNA_path_resolve_property()
and RNA_path_resolve_property_full() - which mirror/wrap the existing
RNA_path_resolve() functions. The only difference though is that these include a
check to ensure that what was found from resolving the path was in fact a
property (they only return true iff this is the case), and make it explicitly
clear in the name that this is what they will do so that there's no further
confusion. It is possible to do without these wrapper functions by doing these
checks inline, but the few cases that had been patched already were pretty
hideous looking specimens. Using these just make it clearer and simpler for all.
I've also beefed up the docs on these a bit, and changed these to using bools.
using the -d flag
This prevents a stream of error messages flooding the console when working with
particular rigs which may have a few broken controls. In general, riggers now
have a better alternative by using the filtering tools in the Graph Editor.
in the UI
This is the second part of the fixes for [#32492], making it easier to identify
which part of a driver (i.e. which of its targets) is causing problems
A number of additional/related changes needed to be made:
* Red-alert status for layouts is now propagated down to child layouts when they
are created. This is needed as otherwise some of the templates used in the Graph
Editor driver settings won't actually get the red-alert status flushed down to
them. Also, note that this status needs to be set before any widgets are added
to the layout, or else the settings aren't applied when the relevant widgets get
created.
* "Single Property" RNA-Paths resulting in out of bounds array access will now
trigger an error status and appropriate warnings
TODO:
* The error tagging doesn't get applied immediately after variables are created,
or their types changed
* There was also some other weirdness involved when a higher-value flag (1<<10)
was used for this setting, which needs further attention
than one curve is displayed
The range calculation used to use a fixed 0-1 range whenever it couldn't find
any values for a particular F-Curve. However, this was then taken by the
aggregation calculation to be used as just another value, leading to problems if
only vertices of a very high-value curve are selected to be included.
Modified the range calculation to ensure that suitable vertices were found
before trying to take the range values returned.
F-Curves
It is possible to get the old behaviour (handles excluded) by bringing up the
Operator Properties (F6) while in the Graph Editor (this doesn't work elsewhere
due to the context requirements of this stuff).
- Make sure functions are named in way BKE_<object>_<action> (same way as RNA callbacks)
- Make functions which are used by mball.c only static and remove their prototypes
from public header file.
Further cleanup is coming.
--debug
--debug-ffmpeg
--debug-python
--debug-events
--debug-wm
This makes debug output easier to read - event debug prints would flood output too much before.
For convenience:
--debug-all turns all debug flags on (works as --debug did before).
also removed some redundant whitespace in debug prints and prefix some prints with __func__ to give some context.
