// 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.
//
// 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, InitGoogle 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) {
//       if (value > 0 && value < 32768)   // value is ok
//         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
// will actually be used.  They're kind of hairy.  A major reason
// for this is initialization: we want people to be able to access
// 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.
//
// We also put the type of the variable in the namespace, so that
// people can't DECLARE_int32 something that they DEFINE_bool'd
// elsewhere.
