shader node editor. The 'free' callback for node execution data was accessed from the node->typeinfo, but this pointer can
become invalid because the render database is not immediately freed after the job finishes. To avoid access to dangling node pointers, store the function callback in the exec data itself. The node
pointer must not be accessed in the free function (wasn't used before either), these functions are purely for the execution data.

system. They were overwriting stack values from their input nodes, because the system would not detect that these sockets
actually just point to existing defined stack values. To make the link check work, set the socket->link pointer if internal node connections exist, this works for both muted and reroute nodes.

Issue was caused by ntreeUpdateTree calling for a ntree
which is not in G.main.
This lead to issues in ntreeVerifyNodes (which is called
from ntreeUpdateTree).
Made is so ntreeUpdateTree now accepts main as an argument.
Will work for the release, later we could either solve the
TODO mentioned in ntreeUpdateTree which will eliminate need
in main there or make it so context's main is used from all
over where ntreeUpdateTree is called (currently there're
still some usages of G.main).

When nodes are loaded from a .blend file they can potentially have undefined types. This can happen if a type has been deprecated and removed, or if node types were defined in a python script that has not been loaded correctly. Previously all such nodes would automatically be removed from a node tree, assuming that their types were deprecated and no longer in use (more commonly caused by loading new nodes in an older Blender version). Due to the possibility of dynamic registration it is no longer feasible to simply delete such nodes.
Display and handling of node trees was simply disabled before this patch, so that a node tree where any node or socket type was undefined would not be displayed at all. To give more information and avoid problems caused by necessary checks for the typeinfo pointer, there is now a 'Undefined' fallback type for trees, nodes and sockets. These types are used as placeholders in case the real type is not registered and can provide useful visual feedback on undefined nodes.

did not get a stack index assigned, but for GLSL they are simply replaced by colors.

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.

Two example files that crashed texture nodes.
- On delete texture nodes, it should free the exec cache (because this cache
stores the node pointer.
- On redo, nodes can exist can exist without typeinfo set. Exec (free) code
was not checking for that. Don't ask me why this happens... tex nodes are weird.

Apparently Material nodes allow a mix of Cycles and BI Materials. Nifty!
I should read more docs, like this cool tutorial:

Stupid!

- Cycles materials now render in Blender Internal too, skipping the nodes.
Not very useful, but at least things then show up on renders and in
previews.
- Node editor: if wrong shader nodes are in a tree, they draw with thene
color RED ALERT headers now. (Switching render engine will show it).

generated as a transient list that is returned from the callback and had to be freed by the caller. These internal links are used for muted nodes, disconnect operators and reroute nodes, to effectively replace the node with direct input-to-output links.
Storing this list in the node has the advantage of requiring far fewer calls to the potentially expensive internal_connect callback. This was called on every node redraw ...
Also it will allow Cycles to properly use the internal links for muted nodes, which ensures consistent behavior. The previous method was not applicable in Cycles because transient list return values are not supported well in the RNA and particularly the C++ API implementation.

Problem here is that muted nodes and reroute nodes are supposed to be removed from the execution node tree during the localize function. However, this is function is apparently only used during preview renders and must be considered a hack (is there anything that is not a hack in BI?)
Now the mute/reroute check happens in the node tree exec functions still used by BI and the legacy compositor and texture nodes. It uses the same internal_connect function from nodes to assign input stack indices directly to outputs (which also avoids overhead). Localize function also still does this. Cycles/Tile should also implement muting/reroute in their intermediate node layers by using this function, then it could be removed from localize too.

the node muting system as well.
There are a number of features that use a kind of "internal linking" in nodes:
1. muting
2. delete + reconnect (restore link to/from node after delete)
3. the new detach operator (same as 2, but don't delete the node)
The desired behavior in all cases is the same: find a sensible mapping of inputs-to-outputs of a node. In the case of muting these links are displayed in red on the node itself. For the other operators they are used to relink connections, such that one gets the best possible ongoing link between previous up- and downstream nodes.
Muting previously used a complicated callback system to ensure consistent behavior in the editor as well as execution in compositor, shader cpu/gpu and texture nodes. This has been greatly simplified by moving the muting step into the node tree localization functions. Any muted node is now bypassed using the generalized nodeInternalRelink function and then removed from the local tree. This way the internal execution system doesn't have to deal with muted nodes at all, as if they are non-existent.
The same function is also used by the delete_reconnect and the new links_detach operators (which work directly in the editor node tree). Detaching nodes is currently keymapped as a translation variant (macro operator): pressing ALTKEY + moving node first detaches and then continues with regular transform operator. The default key is ALT+DKEY though, instead ALT+GKEY, since the latter is already used for the ungroup operator.

ignored
Now, compositing, shading and texture nodes have a consistent muting system, with default behaving as previous (for compo), and which can be optionaly customized by each node.
Shader nodes are also GLSL muted.
However, Cycles is currently unaware of muted nodes, will try to address this…

The problem was that all outputs got tagged indiscriminately (esp. hidden render layer sockets), leading to full recalculation every time. This was caused by erroneous tagging of bNodeStacks with hasinput/hasoutput flags. This patch restores the old behaviour of tagging all non-static stacks as input values and all outputs that are connected to some input. Only difference is in node groups, where the hasoutput flag is no longer abused for tagging internal buffers, here the is_copy flag is used instead.

This branch adds mostly organizational improvements to the node system by renaming the node folders and files. A couple of internal features have been added too.
