Registering a property could remove the existing property,
then fail to parse one of the arguments of the new property -
leaving the struct without a property.
Now freeing the existing property is deferred until immediately
before the new property is registered.
This patch introduces non linear sliders. That means, that the movement
of the mouse doesn't map linearly to the value of the slider.
The following changes have been made.
- Free logarithmic sliders with maximum range of (`0 <= x < inf`)
- Logarithmic sliders with correct value indication bar.
- Free cubic sliders with maximum range of (`-inf < x < inf`)
- Cubic sliders with correct value indication bar.
Cubic mapping has been added as well, because it's used for brush sizes
in other applications (Krita for e.g.).
To make a slider have a different scale type use following line in RNA:
`RNA_def_property_ui_scale_type(prop, PROP_SCALE_LOGARITHMIC);`
or:
`RNA_def_property_ui_scale_type(prop, PROP_SCALE_CUBIC);`
Test the precision, step size and soft-min if you change the scale type
of a property as it will feel very different and may need tweaking.
Ref D9074
Callbacks used in `bpy.props` didn't hold a references to the functions
they used.
While this has been the case since early 2.5x it didn't cause any
problems as long as the class held a reference.
With Python 3.10 or when using `from __future__ import annotations`,
the annotations are no longer owned by the class once evaluated.
Resolve this by holding a reference in the module, which now supports
traverse & clear callbacks so the objects are visible to Python's
garbage collector.
Also refactor storage of Python data, moving from an array into a struct.
Some RNA structs, like operators or keymaps, are not allowed to have ID
pointer properties. now this check will ignore those, and report an
error message in the console.
Related to T82597.
Notes: While a bit more involved than rBf39fbb3e6046, this commit
remains fairly localized and non-intrusive.
It relies on some rather obscure and weird behaviors of our RNA code
though, a cleaner solution could be e.g. to add a tye to
`StructOrFunctionRNA`, so that we could properly 'rebuild' (re-cast) the
pointer to either `StructRNA` or `FunctionRNA` when needed in internal
code...
Previously, it was kind of a mess. In different places it was using `char`, `short` and `int`.
The changed properties are flags that are operated upon using bit operations. Therefore, the integer type should be unsigned. Since we only use 2 bits of these flags, `uint8_t` is large enough.
Especially note the change I had to make in `RNA_define.h` to make this work.

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`.

Similar to the one allowing to deactivate DNA check, etc.
Will helps reduce verbosity when making many new properties overridable.
Note that pointer properties always remain non-overridable by default,
since basically only ID pointers should be.

RE_engine_register_pass is sometimes in the headers with type
as an integer parameter, sometimes as eNodeSocketDatatype.
This caused warnings, the root cause was makesrna was not able
to generate the proper type for enums and defaulted to int.
makesrna has been extended with the RNA_def_property_enum_native_type
that allows telling makesrna the native type of an enum, if set it
will be used otherwise it will still fall back to int.

This does not affect the RNA access API, since how the boolean is read from
DNA abstracted away in the API.

The floating "Move" redo panel showed transform values with less
precision than in other places (e.g. sidebar and properties editor).
With Millimeters as unit it would even round to full integers, which
may be an issue since you typically work at higher precisions with this
unit.
Note that this only applies to the visual precision, internally we use
full floating point `float`s still.
Fixes T70367.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.

We are already running out of available flags in main, generic int, and
everytime I work on static override I find new special cases that will
need new specific propflag, so...
This is essentially a huge refactor/extension of our existing RNA
compare & copy code, since static override needs more advanced handling here.
Note that not all new features are implemented yet, advanced things like
collections insertion/deletion are still TODO (medium priority).
This completes the ground work for overrides, remaining commits will be
about UI and some basic/testing activation of overrides for a limited
set of data-blocks & properties.

Adds support for defining a number of tags as part of the rna-struct
definition, which its properties can set similar to property-flags.
BPY supports setting these tags when defining custom properties too.
* To define tags for a struct (which its properties can use then), define the tags in an `EnumPropertyItem` array, and assign them to the struct using `RNA_def_struct_property_tags(...)`.
* To set tags for an RNA-property in C, use the new `RNA_def_property_tags(...)`.
* To set tags for an RNA-property in Python, use the newly added tags parameter. E.g. `bpy.props.FloatProperty(name="Some Float", tags={'SOME_TAG', 'ANOTHER_TAG'})`.

The absence of datablock properties "will certainly be resolved soon as the need for them is becoming obvious" said the [[http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.67/Python_Nodes|Python Nodes release notes]]. So this patch allows Python scripts to create ID Properties which reference datablocks.
This functionality is implemented for `PointerProperty` and now such properties can be created with Python.
In addition to the standard update callback, `PointerProperty` can have a `poll` callback (standard RNA) which is useful for search menus. For details see the test included in this patch.

This gives us 9 flags available again for properties (we had none anymore),
and also makes things slightly cleaner.
To simplify (and make more clear the differences between mere properties
and function parameters), also added RNA_def_parameter_flags function (and
its clear counterpart), to be used instead of RNA_def_property_flag for
function parameters.
This patch is also a big cleanup (some RNA function definitions were
still using 'prop' PropertyRNA pointer, etc.).
And yes, am aware this will be annoying for all branches, but we really need
to get new flags available for properties (will need at least one for override, etc.).

PyNodes opens up the node system in Blender to scripters and adds a number of UI-level improvements.
=== Dynamic node type registration ===
Node types can now be added at runtime, using the RNA registration mechanism from python. This enables addons such as render engines to create a complete user interface with nodes.
Examples of how such nodes can be defined can be found in my personal wiki docs atm [1] and as a script template in release/scripts/templates_py/custom_nodes.py [2].
=== Node group improvements ===
Each node editor now has a tree history of edited node groups, which allows opening and editing nested node groups. The node editor also supports pinning now, so that different spaces can be used to edit different node groups simultaneously. For more ramblings and rationale see (really old) blog post on code.blender.org [3].
The interface of node groups has been overhauled. Sockets of a node group are no longer displayed in columns on either side, but instead special input/output nodes are used to mirror group sockets inside a node tree. This solves the problem of long node lines in groups and allows more adaptable node layout. Internal sockets can be exposed from a group by either connecting to the extension sockets in input/output nodes (shown as empty circle) or by adding sockets from the node property bar in the "Interface" panel. Further details such as the socket name can also be changed there.
