This is kind of doesn't matter where macro itself is defined.
We should stick to the following:
- If some macro is actually more an inline function, follow regular
function name conventions.
- If macro is a macro, type it in capitals. Use module prefix if that
helps readability or it if helps avoiding accidents.
We were calling BLI_remlink and then BLI_insertlinkbefore/after quite often. BLI_listbase_link_move simplifies code a bit and makes it easier to follow. It also returns if link position has changed which can be used to avoid unnecessary updates.
Added it to a number of list reorder operators for now and made use of return value. Behavior shouldn't be changed.
Also some minor cleanup.
This can be used to avoid redundant looping when we only want to know if a list is smaller then some size.
also remove paranoid NULL check in list counting.

notes from tracker:
use bool for return type from BLI_remlink_safe, necessitating including BLI_utildefines.h in BLI_listbase.h
get rid of duplicate BLI_insertlink, use BLI_insertlinkafter instead.
A few places which were using BLI_insertlinkafter (actually BLI_insertlink), when it would be simpler to use BLI_insertlinkbefore instead.
* add BLI_rfindlink for reverse index lookup (used so bm.select_history[-1] doesn't have to loop the entire list twice).
* add bm.select_history.active so you can get the last selected item or None without having to check seq length.
- raise an exception when python calls is_property_set(name) or is_property_hidden(name) and the property does not exist.
- added BLI_findstring_ptr(), which finds a named item in a listbase where that name is a pointer to a string.
- replaced inline for loops with calls to BLI_findstring_ptr() and IDP_GetPropertyFromGroup().
* utility function BLI_findstring to avoid listbase lookup loops everywhere.
eg:
ListBase *lb= objects= &CTX_data_main(C)->object;
Object *ob= BLI_findstring(lb, name, offsetof(ID, name) + 2);
* made some more math functions use const's, (fix warnings I made in previous commits)
Added a utility function to check which transforms for an object or bone are animated, returning these as bitflags and/or optionally retrieving the relevant F-Curves too. Beware that this method may not be working correctly yet, but it shouldn't hurt anyone in the meantime :)
Also, split RNA-path building function up into a version which only creates the path up to the given struct, with the other parts being added later.
DONE:
* moved almost all declarations from BLI_blenlib.h into their own proper header files.
* BLI_blenlib.h still includes all the declarations for convenience and to avoid changes in existing code
* split util.c into several files, where it wasn't done already
* DynamicList -> dynamiclist,
* ListBase -> listbase,
* String utility functions -> string.c
* removed a few unused macros and functions, if they're needed back, they're still in svn ;)
TODO:
* btempdir global
* further cleanup in the code of the different modules (especially util.c)
