// This header file defines the `absl::Flag<T>` type for holding command-line
// flag data, and abstractions to create, get and set such flag data.
//
// It is important to note that this type is **unspecified** (an implementation
// detail) and you do not construct or manipulate actual `absl::Flag<T>`
// instances. Instead, you define and declare flags using the
// `ABSL_FLAG()` and `ABSL_DECLARE_FLAG()` macros, and get and set flag values
// using the `absl::GetFlag()` and `absl::SetFlag()` functions.

// Flag
//
// An `absl::Flag` holds a command-line flag value, providing a runtime
// parameter to a binary. Such flags should be defined in the global namespace
// and (preferably) in the module containing the binary's `main()` function.
//
// You should not construct and cannot use the `absl::Flag` type directly;
// instead, you should declare flags using the `ABSL_DECLARE_FLAG()` macro
// within a header file, and define your flag using `ABSL_FLAG()` within your
// header's associated `.cc` file. Such flags will be named `FLAGS_name`.
//
// Example:
//
//    .h file
//
//      // Declares usage of a flag named "FLAGS_count"
//      ABSL_DECLARE_FLAG(int, count);
//
//    .cc file
//
//      // Defines a flag named "FLAGS_count" with a default `int` value of 0.
//      ABSL_FLAG(int, count, 0, "Count of items to process");
//
// No public methods of `absl::Flag<T>` are part of the Abseil Flags API.

// GetFlag()
//
// Returns the value (of type `T`) of an `absl::Flag<T>` instance, by value. Do
// not construct an `absl::Flag<T>` directly and call `absl::GetFlag()`;
// instead, refer to flag's constructed variable name (e.g. `FLAGS_name`).
// Because this function returns by value and not by reference, it is
// thread-safe, but note that the operation may be expensive; as a result, avoid
// `absl::GetFlag()` within any tight loops.
//
// Example:
//
//   // FLAGS_count is a Flag of type `int`
//   int my_count = absl::GetFlag(FLAGS_count);
//
//   // FLAGS_firstname is a Flag of type `std::string`
//   std::string first_name = absl::GetFlag(FLAGS_firstname);

// `absl::Flag<T>` directly and call `absl::SetFlag()`; instead, use the
// flag's variable name (e.g. `FLAGS_name`). This function is
// thread-safe, but is potentially expensive. Avoid setting flags in general,

// ABSL_FLAG()
//
// This macro defines an `absl::Flag<T>` instance of a specified type `T`:
//
//   ABSL_FLAG(T, name, default_value, help);
//
// where:
//
//   * `T` is a supported flag type (see the list of types in `marshalling.h`),
//   * `name` designates the name of the flag (as a global variable
//     `FLAGS_name`),
//   * `default_value` is an expression holding the default value for this flag
//     (which must be implicitly convertible to `T`),
//   * `help` is the help text, which can also be an expression.
//
// This macro expands to a flag named 'FLAGS_name' of type 'T':
//
//   absl::Flag<T> FLAGS_name = ...;
//
// Note that all such instances are created as global variables.
//
// For `ABSL_FLAG()` values that you wish to expose to other translation units,
// it is recommended to define those flags within the `.cc` file associated with
// the header where the flag is declared.
//
// Note: do not construct objects of type `absl::Flag<T>` directly. Only use the
// `ABSL_FLAG()` macro for such construction.
#define ABSL_FLAG(Type, name, default_value, help) \
  ABSL_FLAG_IMPL(Type, name, default_value, help)

// ABSL_FLAG().OnUpdate()
//
// Defines a flag of type `T` with a callback attached:
//
//   ABSL_FLAG(T, name, default_value, help).OnUpdate(callback);
//
// `callback` should be convertible to `void (*)()`. 
// 
// After any setting of the flag value, the callback will be called at least
// once. A rapid sequence of changes may be merged together into the same
// callback. No concurrent calls to the callback will be made for the same
// flag. Callbacks are allowed to read the current value of the flag but must
// not mutate that flag.
//
// The update mechanism guarantees "eventual consistency"; if the callback
// derives an auxiliary data structure from the flag value, it is guaranteed
// that eventually the flag value and the derived data structure will be
// consistent.
//
// Note: ABSL_FLAG.OnUpdate() does not have a public definition. Hence, this
// comment serves as its API documentation.
