Change 2719361 on 2015/10/07 by Maciej.Mroz
Generated native code for AnimBPGC - some preliminary changes.
Refactor: UAnimBlueprintGeneratedClass is not accessed directly in runtime. It is accessed via UAnimClassInterface interface.
Properties USkeletalMeshComponent::AnimBlueprintGeneratedClass and UInterpTrackFloatAnimBPParam::AnimBlueprintClass were changed into "TSubclassOf<UAnimInstance> AnimClass"
The UDynamicClass also can deliver the IAnimClassInterface interface. See UAnimClassData, IAnimClassInterface::GetFromClass and UDynamicClass::AnimClassImplementation.

- Centralized destination paths into a helper struct (for the manifest)
- Generating an Editor module that automatically hooks into the cook process when enabled
- Loading and applying native replacments for the cook
Change 2723276 on 2015/10/09 by Michael.Schoell
Blueprints duplicated for PIE will no longer register as dependencies to other Blueprint.

Blueprint profiler at first pass, this includes the ability to instrument specific blueprints with realtime editor stat display.
#UEBP-21 - Profiling data capture and storage
#UEBP-13 - Performance capture landing page
#Branch UE4
#Proj BlueprintProfiler, BlueprintGraph, EditorStyle, Kismet, UnrealEd, CoreUObject, Engine
Change 2724613 on 2015/10/12 by Ben.Cosh
Incremental update for blueprint profiler to fix the way some of the reported stats cascade through events and branches and additionally some missed bits of code are refactored/removed.
#Branch UE4
#Proj BlueprintProfiler
#info Whilst looking into this I spotted the reason why the stats seem so erratic, There appears to be an issue with FText's use of EXPERIMENTAL_TEXT_FAST_DECIMAL_FORMAT which I have reported, but ideally disable this locally until a fix is integrated.
Change 2724723 on 2015/10/12 by Maciej.Mroz
Constructor of a dynamic class creates CDO.

Change 2727395 on 2015/10/13 by Mike.Beach
(WIP) Second pass on the Blueprint conversion pipeline; setting it up for more optimal (speedier) performance.
* Using stubs for replacements (rather than loading dynamic replacement).
* Giving the cook commandlet more control (so a conversion could be ran directly).
* Now logging replacements by old object path (to account for UPackage replacement queries).
* Fix for [UE-21947], unshelved from CL 2724944 (by Maciej.Mroz).

Change 2727968 on 2015/10/14 by Maciej.Mroz
Since ConstructorHelpers::FClassFinder is usually static, the loaded class should be in root set, to prevent the pointer stored in ConstructorHelpers::FClassFinder from being obsolete.
FindOrLoadClass behaves now like FindOrLoadObject.

Change 2762632 on 2015/11/11 by Steve.Robb@Dev-Core
Some TSet function optimisations:
Avoiding unnecessary hashing of function arguments if the container is empty (rather than the hash being empty, which is not necessarily equivalent).
Taking local copies of HashSize during iterations.
Change 2762936 on 2015/11/11 by Steve.Robb@Dev-Core

#jira UE-20157 - Changing a node to a pure function does not remove breakpoints from node and they must be turned into an impure function again
[CL 2686433 by Michael Schoell in Main branch]
change summary:
- modified UK2Node_CallFunction::Serialize() to bypass enabled state validation when not necessary.
#codereview Mike.Beach
[CL 2670191 by Phillip Kavan in Main branch]
change summary:
- deprecated the 'UEdGraphNode::bIsNodeEnabled' flag & added fixup code for serialization (load)
- added support for pruning "disabled" nodes at compile time w/o breaking existing flow in the source graph.
- modified function call nodes to look for new "DevelopmentOnly" UFUNCTION metadata and disable when found.
- added UEdGraphNode::IsNodeEnabled(), Enable() and Disable() APIs. also added a new 'bUserSetEnabledState' flag.
- added the UEdGraphNode::IsDevelopmentMode() API; subclasses can override to provide additional functionality if necessary.
- added a new 'UCookerSettings::bCompileBlueprintsInDevelopmentMode' flag to control whether or not Blueprints are compiled in development mode at cook time (accessible in Project Settings->Cooker); defaults to OFF.
- (experimental) added a "Compile Options" section to the Blueprint graph node context menu to allow users to explicitly enable or disable nodes.
- (experimental) added a BPGC setting to allow users to optionally override the cooker default setting for the development/release compile switch (UE-12270, WiP).
- the experimental features above are gated by a new 'UBlueprintEditorSettings::bAllowExplicitImpureNodeDisabling flag' (accessible in Editor Settings->Blueprint Editor); defaults to OFF for now.
[CL 2661302 by Phillip Kavan in Main branch]

[CL 2614169 by Michael Noland in Main branch]
UK2Node_CallFunction::EnsureFunctionIsInBlueprint checks for the self pin being connected, if it is it will not change the function reference.
#jira UE-17073 - Duplicated blueprints cannot access casted class nodes
[CL 2606495 by Michael Schoell in Main branch]
change summary:
- added a new "InternalUseParam" UFUNCTION() meta to support tagging function parameters as internal use only (=> hidden | not connectable)
- added a UK2Node_CallFunction::IsConnectionDisallowed() override method; returns 'true' if the 'bNotConnectable' flag is set on the node's pin (and will emit a compile error in existing projects if something is connected to it)
- modified FBlueprintEditorUtils::GetHiddenPinsForFunction() to accept an optional 'InternalPins' TSet as an output; on return, this will contain the subset of hidden pins that are marked as "InternalUseParam"
- modified UK2Node_CallFunction::CreatePinsForFunctionCall() to set the 'bNotConnectable' pin attribute to 'true' if "InternalUseParam == '<PinName>'" is included within the UFunction metadata
- modified the AActor::AddComponent UFUNCTION() decl to switch the "HidePin" meta to "InternalUseParam" for the 'ComponentTemplateContext' parameter (because it should not be connectable)
- modified UK2Node_CallFunction::NotifyPinConnectionListChanged() to refresh the node to hide pins corresponding to internal-only params once the (invalid) connection in an existing project has been broken

[CL 2606203 by Phillip Kavan in Main branch]
change summary:
- restored modification to FDynamicOutputHelper::GetPinClass() to include object reference pin types
- restored modification to FDynamicOutputHelper::IsTypePickerPin() to include the PC_Object category
- restored modification to the UGameplayStatics::GetObjectClass() UFUNCTION declaration to include 'DeterminesOutputType' metadata
- modified FDynamicOutputHelper::GetPinClass() to consider connections to a literal 'self' reference; resolves a potential BP compilation error that was introduced with the initial fix
#codereview Mike.Beach, Dan.OConnor
[CL 2605968 by Phillip Kavan in Main branch]
UK2Node_CallFunction::EnsureFunctionIsInBlueprint will check the function's owner class to see if it is a child of UInterface and will not allow changes to the FunctionReference if it is.
#jira UE-17565 - Copy and pasting an interfaceCall node pasted a different node.
[CL 2604126 by Michael Schoell in Main branch]
change summary:
- modified FDynamicOutputHelper::GetPinClass() to include object reference pin types
