// This file contains the implementation of all our command line flags
// stuff.  Here's how everything fits together
//
// * FlagRegistry owns CommandLineFlags owns FlagValue.
// * FlagSaver holds a FlagRegistry (saves it at construct time,
//     restores it at destroy time).
// * CommandLineFlagParser lives outside that hierarchy, but works on
//     CommandLineFlags (modifying the FlagValues).
// * Free functions like SetCommandLineOption() work via one of the
//     above (such as CommandLineFlagParser).
//
// In more detail:
//
// -- The main classes that hold flag data:
//
// FlagValue holds the current value of a flag.  It's
// pseudo-templatized: every operation on a FlagValue is typed.  It
// also deals with storage-lifetime issues (so flag values don't go
// away in a destructor), which is why we need a whole class to hold a
// variable's value.
//
// CommandLineFlag is all the information about a single command-line
// flag.  It has a FlagValue for the flag's current value, but also
// the flag's name, type, etc.
//
// FlagRegistry is a collection of CommandLineFlags.  There's the
// global registry, which is where flags defined via DEFINE_foo()
// live.  But it's possible to define your own flag, manually, in a
// different registry you create.  (In practice, multiple registries
// are used only by FlagSaver).
//
// A given FlagValue is owned by exactly one CommandLineFlag.  A given
// CommandLineFlag is owned by exactly one FlagRegistry.  FlagRegistry
// has a lock; any operation that writes to a FlagValue or
// CommandLineFlag owned by that registry must acquire the
// FlagRegistry lock before doing so.
//
// --- Some other classes and free functions:
//
// CommandLineFlagInfo is a client-exposed version of CommandLineFlag.
// Once it's instantiated, it has no dependencies or relationships
// with any other part of this file.
//
// FlagRegisterer is the helper class used by the DEFINE_* macros to
// allow work to be done at global initialization time.
//
// CommandLineFlagParser is the class that reads from the commandline
// and instantiates flag values based on that.  It needs to poke into
// the innards of the FlagValue->CommandLineFlag->FlagRegistry class
// hierarchy to do that.  It's careful to acquire the FlagRegistry
// lock before doing any writing or other non-const actions.
//
// GetCommandLineOption is just a hook into registry routines to
// retrieve a flag based on its name.  SetCommandLineOption, on the
// other hand, hooks into CommandLineFlagParser.  Other API functions
// are, similarly, mostly hooks into the functionality described above.
