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. #ifndef ABSL_FLAGS_FLAG_H_ #define ABSL_FLAGS_FLAG_H_ #include "absl/base/attributes.h" #include "absl/base/casts.h" #include "absl/flags/config.h" #include "absl/flags/declare.h" #include "absl/flags/internal/commandlineflag.h" #include "absl/flags/internal/flag.h" #include "absl/flags/marshalling.h" namespace absl { ABSL_NAMESPACE_BEGIN // Flag // // An `absl::Flag` holds a command-line flag value, providing a runtime // parameter to a binary.

To work around this we add a level of indirection, so that the // class `absl::Flag` contains an `internal::Flag*` (instead of being an alias // to that class) and dynamically allocates an instance when necessary. We also // forward all calls to internal::Flag methods via trampoline methods. In this // setup the `absl::Flag` class does not have constructor and virtual methods, // all the data members are public and thus MSVC is able to initialize it at // link time. To deal with multiple threads accessing the flag for the first // time concurrently we use an atomic boolean indicating if flag object is // initialized. We also employ the double-checked locking pattern where the // second level of protection is a global Mutex, so if two threads attempt to // construct the flag concurrently only one wins. // This solution is based on a recomendation here: // https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/336946/class-with-constexpr-constructor-not-using-static.html?childToView=648454#comment-648454 namespace flags_internal { absl::Mutex* GetGlobalConstructionGuard(); } // namespace flags_internal template class Flag { public: // No constructor and destructor to ensure this is an aggregate type. // Visual Studio 2015 still requires the constructor for class to be // constexpr initializable. #if _MSC_VER <= 1900 constexpr Flag(const char* name, const flags_internal::HelpGenFunc help_gen, const char* filename, const flags_internal::FlagMarshallingOpFn marshalling_op, const flags_internal::FlagDfltGenFunc default_value_gen) : name_(name), help_gen_(help_gen), filename_(filename), marshalling_op_(marshalling_op), default_value_gen_(default_value_gen), inited_(false), impl_(nullptr) {} #endif flags_internal::Flag* GetImpl() const { if (!inited_.load(std::memory_order_acquire)) { absl::MutexLock l(flags_internal::GetGlobalConstructionGuard()); if (inited_.load(std::memory_order_acquire)) { return impl_; } impl_ = new flags_internal::Flag( name_, {flags_internal::FlagHelpSrc(help_gen_), flags_internal::FlagHelpSrcKind::kGenFunc}, filename_, marshalling_op_, default_value_gen_); inited_.store(true, std::memory_order_release); } return impl_; } // Public methods of `absl::Flag` are NOT part of the Abseil Flags API. // See https://abseil.io/docs/cpp/guides/flags bool IsRetired() const { return GetImpl()->IsRetired(); } bool IsAbseilFlag() const { return GetImpl()->IsAbseilFlag(); } absl::string_view Name() const { return GetImpl()->Name(); } std::string Help() const { return GetImpl()->Help(); } bool IsModified() const { return GetImpl()->IsModified(); } bool IsSpecifiedOnCommandLine() const { return GetImpl()->IsSpecifiedOnCommandLine(); } absl::string_view Typename() const { return GetImpl()->Typename(); } std::string Filename() const { return GetImpl()->Filename(); } std::string DefaultValue() const { return GetImpl()->DefaultValue(); } std::string CurrentValue() const { return GetImpl()->CurrentValue(); } template inline bool IsOfType() const { return GetImpl()->template IsOfType(); } T Get() const { return GetImpl()->Get(); } bool AtomicGet(T* v) const { return GetImpl()->AtomicGet(v); } void Set(const T& v) { GetImpl()->Set(v); } void SetCallback(const flags_internal::FlagCallback mutation_callback) { GetImpl()->SetCallback(mutation_callback); } void InvokeCallback() { GetImpl()->InvokeCallback(); } // The data members are logically private, but they need to be public for // this to be an aggregate type. const char* name_; const flags_internal::HelpGenFunc help_gen_; const char* filename_; const flags_internal::FlagMarshallingOpFn marshalling_op_; const flags_internal::FlagDfltGenFunc default_value_gen_; mutable std::atomic inited_; mutable flags_internal::Flag* impl_; }; #endif // GetFlag() // // Returns the value (of type `T`) of an `absl::Flag` instance, by value.
