44 // Retired registrations:
45 //
46 // Retired flag registrations are treated specially. A 'retired' flag is
47 // provided only for compatibility with automated invocations that still
48 // name it.  A 'retired' flag:
49 //   - is not bound to a C++ FLAGS_ reference.
50 //   - has a type and a value, but that value is intentionally inaccessible.
51 //   - does not appear in --help messages.
52 //   - is fully supported by _all_ flag parsing routines.
53 //   - consumes args normally, and complains about type mismatches in its
54 //     argument.
55 //   - emits a complaint but does not die (e.g. LOG(ERROR)) if it is
56 //     accessed by name through the flags API for parsing or otherwise.
57 //
58 // The registrations for a flag happen in an unspecified order as the
59 // initializers for the namespace-scope objects of a program are run.
60 // Any number of weak registrations for a flag can weakly define the flag.
61 // One non-weak registration will upgrade the flag from weak to non-weak.
62 // Further weak registrations of a non-weak flag are ignored.
63 //
64 // This mechanism is designed to support moving dead flags into a
65 // 'graveyard' library.  An example migration:
66 //
67 //   0: Remove references to this FLAGS_flagname in the C++ codebase.
68 //   1: Register as 'retired' in old_lib.
69 //   2: Make old_lib depend on graveyard.
70 //   3: Add a redundant 'retired' registration to graveyard.
71 //   4: Remove the old_lib 'retired' registration.
72 //   5: Eventually delete the graveyard registration entirely.
