// MSVC debug builds do not implement initialization with constexpr constructors
// correctly. 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
