//    #include "validators.h"  // hypothetical file defining ValidateIsFile()
//

//
//    DEFINE_string(filename, "my_file.txt", "The file to read");
//    // Crash if the specified file does not exist.
//    static bool dummy = RegisterFlagValidator(&FLAGS_filename,
//                                              &ValidateIsFile);

//
//    void MyFunc() {
//      if (FLAGS_verbose) printf("Records %d-%d\n", FLAGS_start, FLAGS_end);

// --- A note about thread-safety:
//
// We describe many functions in this routine as being thread-hostile,
// thread-compatible, or thread-safe.  Here are the meanings we use:
//
// thread-safe: it is safe for multiple threads to call this routine
//   (or, when referring to a class, methods of this class)
//   concurrently.
// thread-hostile: it is not safe for multiple threads to call this
//   routine (or methods of this class) concurrently.  In gflags,
//   most thread-hostile routines are intended to be called early in,
//   or even before, main() -- that is, before threads are spawned.
// thread-compatible: it is safe for multiple threads to read from
//   this variable (when applied to variables), or to call const
//   methods of this class (when applied to classes), as long as no
//   other thread is writing to the variable or calling non-const
//   methods of this class.

// To actually define a flag in a file, use DEFINE_bool,
// DEFINE_string, etc. at the bottom of this file.  You may also find
// it useful to register a validator with the flag.  This ensures that
// when the flag is parsed from the commandline, or is later set via
// SetCommandLineOption, we call the validation function. It is _not_
// called when you assign the value to the flag directly using the = operator.
//
// The validation function should return true if the flag value is valid, and
// false otherwise. If the function returns false for the new setting of the
// flag, the flag will retain its current value. If it returns false for the
// default value, ParseCommandLineFlags() will die.
//
// This function is safe to call at global construct time (as in the
// example below).
//
// Example use:
//    static bool ValidatePort(const char* flagname, int32 value) {

//         return true;
//       printf("Invalid value for --%s: %d\n", flagname, (int)value);
//       return false;
//    }
//    DEFINE_int32(port, 0, "What port to listen on");
//    static bool dummy = RegisterFlagValidator(&FLAGS_port, &ValidatePort);

// Returns true if successfully registered, false if not (because the
// first argument doesn't point to a command-line flag, or because a
// validator is already registered for this flag).

// Now come the command line flag declaration/definition macros that

// variables in global constructors and have that not crash, even if
// their global constructor runs before the global constructor here.
// (Obviously, we can't guarantee the flags will have the correct
// default value in that case, but at least accessing them is safe.)
// The only way to do that is have flags point to a static buffer.
// So we make one, using a union to ensure proper alignment, and
// then use placement-new to actually set up the flag with the
// correct default value.  In the same vein, we have to worry about
// flag access in global destructors, so FlagRegisterer has to be
// careful never to destroy the flag-values it constructs.
//
// Note that when we define a flag variable FLAGS_<name>, we also
// preemptively define a junk variable, FLAGS_no<name>.  This is to
// cause a link-time error if someone tries to define 2 flags with
// names like "logging" and "nologging".  We do this because a bool
// flag FLAG can be set from the command line to true with a "-FLAG"
// argument, and to false with a "-noFLAG" argument, and so this can
// potentially avert confusion.
//
// We also put flags into their own namespace.  It is purposefully
// named in an opaque way that people should have trouble typing
// directly.  The idea is that DEFINE puts the flag in the weird
// namespace, and DECLARE imports the flag from there into the current
// namespace.  The net result is to force people to use DECLARE to get
// access to a flag, rather than saying "extern bool FLAGS_whatever;"
// or some such instead.  We want this so we can put extra
// functionality (like sanity-checking) in DECLARE if we want, and
// make sure it is picked up everywhere.

// people can't DECLARE_int32 something that they DEFINE_bool'd
// elsewhere.

// Strings are trickier, because they're not a POD, so we can't
// construct them at static-initialization time (instead they get
// constructed at global-constructor time, which is much later).  To
// try to avoid crashes in that case, we use a char buffer to store
// the string, which we can static-initialize, and then placement-new
// into it later.  It's not perfect, but the best we can do.
