[Bf-cycles] Cycles Shader::has_surface , has_surface_emission, has_surface_transparent flags

[Thomas Dinges]

Hi Mohamed,

grep is a Linux terminal command, that can be used to search files, in 
this case for a variable.
Alternatively you can use an IDE or another tool of your choice.

The flags are used in various places inside the kernel, to determine if 
we need certain things.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,
Thomas
