/* Commandline flags support for C10.
*
* This is a portable commandline flags tool for c10, so we can optionally
* choose to use gflags or a lightweight custom implementation if gflags is
* not possible on a certain platform. If you have gflags installed, set the
* macro C10_USE_GFLAGS will seamlessly route everything to gflags.
*
* To define a flag foo of type bool default to true, do the following in the
* *global* namespace:
* C10_DEFINE_bool(foo, true, "An example.");
*
* To use it in another .cc file, you can use C10_DECLARE_* as follows:
* C10_DECLARE_bool(foo);
*
* In both cases, you can then access the flag via FLAGS_foo.
*
* It is recommended that you build with gflags. To learn more about the flags
* usage, refer to the gflags page here:
*
* https://gflags.github.io/gflags/
*
* Note about Python users / devs: gflags is initiated from a C++ function
* ParseCommandLineFlags, and is usually done in native binaries in the main
* function. As Python does not have a modifiable main function, it is usually
* difficult to change the flags after Python starts. Hence, it is recommended
* that one sets the default value of the flags to one that's acceptable in
* general - that will allow Python to run without wrong flags.

// C10 uses hidden visibility by default. However, in gflags, it only uses
// export on Windows platform (with dllexport) but not on linux/mac (with
// default visibility). As a result, to ensure that we are always exporting
// global variables, we will redefine the GFLAGS_DLL_DEFINE_FLAG macro if we
// are building C10 as a shared libray.
// This has to be done after the inclusion of gflags, because some early
// versions of gflags.h (e.g. 2.0 on ubuntu 14.04) directly defines the
// macros, so we need to do definition after gflags is done.

// Motivation about the gflags wrapper:
// (1) We would need to make sure that the gflags version and the non-gflags
// version of C10 are going to expose the same flags abstraction. One should
// explicitly use FLAGS_flag_name to access the flags.
// (2) For flag names, it is recommended to start with c10_ to distinguish it
// from regular gflags flags. For example, do
// C10_DEFINE_BOOL(c10_my_flag, true, "An example");
// to allow one to use FLAGS_c10_my_flag.
// (3) Gflags has a design issue that does not properly expose the global flags,
// if one builds the library with -fvisibility=hidden. The current gflags (as of
// Aug 2018) only deals with the Windows case using dllexport, and not the Linux
// counterparts. As a result, we will explciitly use C10_EXPORT to export the
// flags defined in C10. This is done via a global reference, so the flag
// itself is not duplicated - under the hood it is the same global gflags flag.
