// This header file provides an Abseil version of `std::call_once` for invoking
// a given function at most once, across all threads. This Abseil version is
// faster than the C++11 version and incorporates the C++17 argument-passing
// fix, so that (for example) non-const references may be passed to the invoked
// function.

// call_once()
//
// For all invocations using a given `once_flag`, invokes a given `fn` exactly
// once across all threads. The first call to `call_once()` with a particular
// `once_flag` argument (that does not throw an exception) will run the
// specified function with the provided `args`; other calls with the same
// `once_flag` argument will not run the function, but will wait
// for the provided function to finish running (if it is still running).
//
// This mechanism provides a safe, simple, and fast mechanism for one-time
// initialization in a multi-threaded process.
//
// Example:
//
// class MyInitClass {
//  public:
//  ...
//  mutable absl::once_flag once_;
//
//  MyInitClass* init() const {
//    absl::call_once(once_, &MyInitClass::Init, this);
//    return ptr_;
