[Bf-committers] RNA_def_struct_sdna_from using a non-DNA struct

[Rohan Smith]

Hi,
I'm working on a physically based animation system using Blender and 
Blender's real time engine. To this end, I've modified my version of 
Blender to split Bones and EditBones up into three sections, 
ArmatureElements which store spatial information and a pointer to 
specific data structs, BoneData which stores bone specific data such as 
mass and physics properties, and MuscleData which stores muscle specific 
properties. These are all in the DNA system, but the Edit version of 
these structs are not.

When trying to setup the RNA code to work nicely with this setup, the 
non-Edit structs work fine, but I get a "RNA_def_struct_sdna_from: 
EditMuscleData not found." error in makesrna when I try to use 
RNA_def_struct_sdna_from with the Edit versions. Without this the code 
in the generated .c file does not do the proper dereferencing.

static void rna_def_edit_muscle(BlenderRNA *brna)
{
     StructRNA *srna;

     srna = RNA_def_struct(brna, "EditMuscleData", "EditArmatureElement");
     RNA_define_verify_sdna(0);
     RNA_def_struct_sdna(srna, "EditMuscleData");
     RNA_def_struct_ui_text(srna, "Edit Muscle Data", "Edit mode Muscle 
specific data of an Armature Element");

     RNA_def_struct_sdna_from(srna, "EditMuscleData", "data");

     rna_def_muscle_common(srna, 1);

     RNA_define_verify_sdna(1);
}

Is there any way to make the RNA system able to use a non-DNA struct in 
this manner?
