// This file defines a set of flags that can be used to enable/disable features within ART or
// otherwise tune ART's behavior. Flags can be set through command line options, server side
// configuration, system properties, or default values. This flexibility enables easier development
// and also larger experiments.
//
// The value is retrieved in the following oder:
//   1) server side (device config) property
//   2) system property
//   3) cmdline flag
//   4) default value
//
// The flags are defined in the Flags struct near the bottom of the file. To define a new flag, add
// a Flag field to the struct. Then to read the value of the flag, use gFlag.MyNewFlag().
