- enabling/disabling no longer prints in the terminal unless in debug mode.
- remove 'header' struct from BLI_storage_types.h, from revision 2 and is not used.
- Add GCC property to guardedalloc to warn if the return value from allocation functions isn't used.
double click didnt check mouse distance moved so you could click twice in different areas of the screen very fast and generate a double click event which had old mouse coords copied into it but was sent to an operator set to run on single click (because the double click wasnt handled).
Also added MEM_name_ptr function (included in debug mode only), prints the name of allocated memory.
used for debugging where events came from.
the features that are needed to run the game. Compile tested with
scons, make, but not cmake, that seems to have an issue not related
to these changes. The changes include:
* GLSL support in the viewport and game engine, enable in the game
menu in textured draw mode.
* Synced and merged part of the duplicated blender and gameengine/
gameplayer drawing code.
* Further refactoring of game engine drawing code, especially mesh
storage changed a lot.
* Optimizations in game engine armatures to avoid recomputations.
* A python function to get the framerate estimate in game.
* An option take object color into account in materials.
* An option to restrict shadow casters to a lamp's layers.
* Increase from 10 to 18 texture slots for materials, lamps, word.
An extra texture slot shows up once the last slot is used.
* Memory limit for undo, not enabled by default yet because it
needs the .B.blend to be changed.
* Multiple undo for image painting.
* An offset for dupligroups, so not all objects in a group have to
be at the origin.
WINDOWS CRASH EMULATION!
If you use the -d (debug) argument for starting blender, it will now:
- set all freed memory to 0xFFFFFFFF
- set all malloced memory to 0xFFFFFFFF
The first option will give nice crashers when you read from freed memory.
The second option is for OSX especially, it has the nasty habit to give
zeroed mallocs.
module itself, replacing the special MEM_mallocT/MEM_freeT functions.
Mutex locking is only enabled when threads are running.
There was no good reason to have these separate, it just led to ugly
hacks when calling functions with non-threadsafe malloc from threads.
In Orange we've been fighting the past weeks with memory usage a lot...
at the moment incredible huge scenes are being rendered, with multiple
layers and all compositing, stressing limits of memory a lot.
I had hoped that less frequently used blocks would be swapped away
nicely, so fragmented memory could survive. Unfortunately (in OSX) the
malloc range is limited to 2 GB only (upped half of address space).
Other OS's have a limit too, but typically larger afaik.
Now here's mmap to the rescue! It has a very nice feature to map to
a virtual (non existing) file, allowing to allocate disk-mapped memory
on the fly. For as long there's real memory it works nearly as fast as
a regular malloc, and when you go to the swap boundary, it knows nicely
what to swap first.
The upcoming commit will use mmap for all large memory blocks, like
the composit stack, render layers, lamp buffers and images. Tested here
on my 1 GB system, and compositing huge images with a total of 2.5 gig
still works acceptable here. :)

This is a silly composit test, using 64 MB images with a load of nodes.
Check the header print... the (2323.33M) is the mmap disk-cache in use.
BTW: note that is still limited to the virtual address space of 4 GB.
The new call is:
MEM_mapalloc()
Per definition, mmap() returns zero'ed memory, so a calloc isn't required.
For Windows there's no mmap() available, but I'm pretty sure there's an
equivalent. Windows gurus here are invited to insert that here in code! At
the moment it's nicely ifdeffed, so for Windows the mmap defaults to a
regular alloc.
errors, switched MEM_set_error_stream to MEM_set_error_callback
that calls a function to print result instead of just giving
a FILE *
Note: requires intern recompile
I took out the following from the includes in the intern dir that still had
it:
-#ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H
-#include <config.h>
-#endif
