60// --- A note about thread-safety:
61//
62// We describe many functions in this routine as being thread-hostile,
63// thread-compatible, or thread-safe.  Here are the meanings we use:
64//
65// thread-safe: it is safe for multiple threads to call this routine
66//   (or, when referring to a class, methods of this class)
67//   concurrently.
68// thread-hostile: it is not safe for multiple threads to call this
69//   routine (or methods of this class) concurrently.  In gflags,
70//   most thread-hostile routines are intended to be called early in,
71//   or even before, main() -- that is, before threads are spawned.
72// thread-compatible: it is safe for multiple threads to read from
73//   this variable (when applied to variables), or to call const
74//   methods of this class (when applied to classes), as long as no
75//   other thread is writing to the variable or calling non-const
76//   methods of this class.

101// To actually define a flag in a file, use DEFINE_bool,
102// DEFINE_string, etc. at the bottom of this file.  You may also find
103// it useful to register a validator with the flag.  This ensures that
104// when the flag is parsed from the commandline, or is later set via
105// SetCommandLineOption, we call the validation function. It is _not_
106// called when you assign the value to the flag directly using the = operator.
107//
108// The validation function should return true if the flag value is valid, and
109// false otherwise. If the function returns false for the new setting of the

401// (Obviously, we can't guarantee the flags will have the correct
402// default value in that case, but at least accessing them is safe.)
403// The only way to do that is have flags point to a static buffer.
404// So we make one, using a union to ensure proper alignment, and
405// then use placement-new to actually set up the flag with the
406// correct default value.  In the same vein, we have to worry about
407// flag access in global destructors, so FlagRegisterer has to be
408// careful never to destroy the flag-values it constructs.
409//
410// Note that when we define a flag variable FLAGS_<name>, we also
411// preemptively define a junk variable, FLAGS_no<name>.  This is to
412// cause a link-time error if someone tries to define 2 flags with
413// names like "logging" and "nologging".  We do this because a bool
414// flag FLAG can be set from the command line to true with a "-FLAG"
415// argument, and to false with a "-noFLAG" argument, and so this can
416// potentially avert confusion.

424// or some such instead.  We want this so we can put extra
425// functionality (like sanity-checking) in DECLARE if we want, and
