+// 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.

+// thread-safe: it is safe for multiple threads to call this routine
+//   (or, when referring to a class, methods of this class)
+//   concurrently.
+// thread-hostile: it is not safe for multiple threads to call this
+//   routine (or methods of this class) concurrently.  In gflags,
+//   most thread-hostile routines are intended to be called early in,
+//   or even before, main() -- that is, before threads are spawned.
+// thread-compatible: it is safe for multiple threads to read from
+//   this variable (when applied to variables), or to call const
+//   methods of this class (when applied to classes), as long as no
+//   other thread is writing to the variable or calling non-const
+//   methods of this class.

+// Bash-style command line flag completion for C++ binaries
+//
+// This module implements bash-style completions.  It achieves this
+// goal in the following broad chunks:
+//
+//  1) Take a to-be-completed word, and examine it for search hints
+//  2) Identify all potentially matching flags
+//     2a) If there are no matching flags, do nothing.
+//     2b) If all matching flags share a common prefix longer than the
+//         completion word, output just that matching prefix
+//  3) Categorize those flags to produce a rough ordering of relevence.
+//  4) Potentially trim the set of flags returned to a smaller number
+//     that bash is happier with
+//  5) Output the matching flags in groups ordered by relevence.
+//     5a) Force bash to place most-relevent groups at the top of the list
+//     5b) Trim most flag's descriptions to fit on a single terminal line

+//
+// Implement helpful bash-style command line flag completions
+//
+// ** Functional API:
+// HandleCommandLineCompletions() should be called early during
+// program startup, but after command line flag code has been
+// initialized, such as the beginning of HandleCommandLineHelpFlags().
+// It checks the value of the flag --tab_completion_word.  If this
+// flag is empty, nothing happens here.  If it contains a string,
+// however, then HandleCommandLineCompletions() will hijack the
+// process, attempting to identify the intention behind this
+// completion.  Regardless of the outcome of this deduction, the
+// process will be terminated, similar to --helpshort flag
+// handling.
+//
+// ** Overview of Bash completions:
+// Bash can be told to programatically determine completions for the
+// current 'cursor word'.  It does this by (in this case) invoking a
+// command with some additional arguments identifying the command
+// being executed, the word being completed, and the previous word
+// (if any).  Bash then expects a sequence of output lines to be
+// printed to stdout.  If these lines all contain a common prefix
+// longer than the cursor word, bash will replace the cursor word
+// with that common prefix, and display nothing.  If there isn't such
+// a common prefix, bash will display the lines in pages using 'more'.
+//
+// ** Strategy taken for command line completions:
+// If we can deduce either the exact flag intended, or a common flag
+// prefix, we'll output exactly that.  Otherwise, if information
+// must be displayed to the user, we'll take the opportunity to add
+// some helpful information beyond just the flag name (specifically,
+// we'll include the default flag value and as much of the flag's
+// description as can fit on a single terminal line width, as specified
+// by the flag --tab_completion_columns).  Furthermore, we'll try to
+// make bash order the output such that the most useful or relevent
+// flags are the most likely to be shown at the top.
+//
+// ** Additional features:
+// To assist in finding that one really useful flag, substring matching
+// was implemented.  Before pressing a <TAB> to get completion for the
+// current word, you can append one or more '?' to the flag to do
+// substring matching.  Here's the semantics:
+//   --foo<TAB>     Show me all flags with names prefixed by 'foo'
+//   --foo?<TAB>    Show me all flags with 'foo' somewhere in the name
+//   --foo??<TAB>   Same as prior case, but also search in module
+//                  definition path for 'foo'
+//   --foo???<TAB>  Same as prior case, but also search in flag
+//                  descriptions for 'foo'
+// Finally, we'll trim the output to a relatively small number of
+// flags to keep bash quiet about the verbosity of output.  If one
+// really wanted to see all possible matches, appending a '+' to the
+// search word will force the exhaustive list of matches to be printed.
+//
+// ** How to have bash accept completions from a binary:
+// Bash requires that it be informed about each command that programmatic
+// completion should be enabled for.  Example addition to a .bashrc
+// file would be (your path to gflags_completions.sh file may differ):
+
+/*
+$ complete -o bashdefault -o default -o nospace -C                            \
+ '/home/build/eng/bash/bash_completions.sh --tab_completion_columns $COLUMNS' \
+  time  env  binary_name  another_binary  [...]
+*/
+
+// This would allow the following to work:
+//   $ /path/to/binary_name --vmodule<TAB>
+// Or:
+//   $ ./bin/path/another_binary --gfs_u<TAB>
+// (etc)
+//
+// Sadly, it appears that bash gives no easy way to force this behavior for
+// all commands.  That's where the "time" in the above example comes in.
+// If you haven't specifically added a command to the list of completion
+// supported commands, you can still get completions by prefixing the
+// entire command with "env".
+//   $ env /some/brand/new/binary --vmod<TAB>
+// Assuming that "binary" is a newly compiled binary, this should still
+// produce the expected completion output.

+# This script is invoked by bash in response to a matching compspec.  When
+# this happens, bash calls this script using the command shown in the -C
+# block of the complete entry, but also appends 3 arguments.  They are:
+#   - The command being used for completion
+#   - The word being completed
+#   - The word preceding the completion word.
+#
+# Here's an example of how you might use this script:
+# $ complete -o bashdefault -o default -o nospace -C                         \
+#   '/usr/local/bin/gflags_completions.sh --tab_completion_columns $COLUMNS' \
+#   time  env  binary_name  another_binary  [...]
+
+# completion_word_index gets the index of the (N-1)th argument for
+# this command line.  completion_word gets the actual argument from
+# this command line at the (N-1)th position
+completion_word_index="$(($# - 1))"
+completion_word="${!completion_word_index}"
+
+# TODO(user): Replace this once gflags_completions.cc has
+# a bool parameter indicating unambiguously to hijack the process for
+# completion purposes.
+if [ -z "$completion_word" ]; then
+  # Until an empty value for the completion word stops being misunderstood
+  # by binaries, don't actually execute the binary or the process
+  # won't be hijacked!
+  exit 0
+fi

+# places in the (N-2)nd position.  binary gets the actual command from
+# this command line at that (N-2)nd position
+binary_index="$(($# - 2))"
+binary="${!binary_index}"
+
+# For completions to be universal, we may have setup the compspec to
+# trigger on 'harmless pass-through' commands, like 'time' or 'env'.
+# If the command being completed is one of those two, we'll need to
+# identify the actual command being executed.  To do this, we need
+# the actual command line that the <TAB> was pressed on.  Bash helpfully
+# places this in the $COMP_LINE variable.
+if [ "$binary" == "time" ] || [ "$binary" == "env" ]; then
+  # we'll assume that the first 'argument' is actually the
+  # binary
+
+
+  # TODO(user): This is not perfect - the 'env' command, for instance,
+  #   is allowed to have options between the 'env' and 'the command to
+  #   be executed'.  For example, consider:
+  # $ env FOO="bar"  bin/do_something  --help<TAB>
+  # In this case, we'll mistake the FOO="bar" portion as the binary.
+  #   Perhaps we should continuing consuming leading words until we
+  #   either run out of words, or find a word that is a valid file
+  #   marked as executable.  I can't think of any reason this wouldn't
+  #   work.

+// reporting flags, but we also have flags like --helpxml, etc.
+//
+// There's only one function that's meant to be called externally:

+//
+// HandleCommandLineHelpFlags() will check what 'reporting' flags have
+// been defined, if any -- the "help" part of the function name is a
+// bit misleading -- and do the relevant reporting.  It should be
+// called after all flag-values have been assigned, that is, after
+// parsing the command-line.

+// A simple mutex wrapper, supporting locks and read-write locks.
+// You should assume the locks are *not* re-entrant.
+//
+// This class is meant to be internal-only and should be wrapped by an
+// internal namespace.  Before you use this module, please give the
+// name of your internal namespace for this module.  Or, if you want
+// to expose it, you'll want to move it to the Google namespace.  We
+// cannot put this class in global namespace because there can be some
+// problems when we have multiple versions of Mutex in each shared object.
+//
+// NOTE: by default, we have #ifdef'ed out the TryLock() method.
+//       This is for two reasons:
+// 1) TryLock() under Windows is a bit annoying (it requires a
+//    #define to be defined very early).
+// 2) TryLock() is broken for NO_THREADS mode, at least in NDEBUG
+//    mode.
+// If you need TryLock(), and either these two caveats are not a
+// problem for you, or you're willing to work around them, then
+// feel free to #define GMUTEX_TRYLOCK, or to remove the #ifdefs
+// in the code below.
+//
+// CYGWIN NOTE: Cygwin support for rwlock seems to be buggy:
+//    http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-12/msg00017.html
+// Because of that, we might as well use windows locks for
+// cygwin.  They seem to be more reliable than the cygwin pthreads layer.
+//
+// TRICKY IMPLEMENTATION NOTE:
+// This class is designed to be safe to use during
+// dynamic-initialization -- that is, by global constructors that are
+// run before main() starts.  The issue in this case is that
+// dynamic-initialization happens in an unpredictable order, and it
+// could be that someone else's dynamic initializer could call a
+// function that tries to acquire this mutex -- but that all happens
+// before this mutex's constructor has run.  (This can happen even if
+// the mutex and the function that uses the mutex are in the same .cc
+// file.)  Basically, because Mutex does non-trivial work in its
+// constructor, it's not, in the naive implementation, safe to use
+// before dynamic initialization has run on it.
+//
+// The solution used here is to pair the actual mutex primitive with a
+// bool that is set to true when the mutex is dynamically initialized.
+// (Before that it's false.)  Then we modify all mutex routines to
+// look at the bool, and not try to lock/unlock until the bool makes
+// it to true (which happens after the Mutex constructor has run.)
+//
+// This works because before main() starts -- particularly, during
+// dynamic initialization -- there are no threads, so a) it's ok that
+// the mutex operations are a no-op, since we don't need locking then
+// anyway; and b) we can be quite confident our bool won't change
+// state between a call to Lock() and a call to Unlock() (that would
+// require a global constructor in one translation unit to call Lock()
+// and another global constructor in another translation unit to call
+// Unlock() later, which is pretty perverse).
+//
+// That said, it's tricky, and can conceivably fail; it's safest to
+// avoid trying to acquire a mutex in a global constructor, if you
+// can.  One way it can fail is that a really smart compiler might
+// initialize the bool to true at static-initialization time (too
+// early) rather than at dynamic-initialization time.  To discourage
+// that, we set is_safe_ to true in code (not the constructor
+// colon-initializer) and set it to true via a function that always
+// evaluates to true, but that the compiler can't know always
+// evaluates to true.  This should be good enough.
+//
+// A related issue is code that could try to access the mutex
+// after it's been destroyed in the global destructors (because
+// the Mutex global destructor runs before some other global
+// destructor, that tries to acquire the mutex).  The way we
+// deal with this is by taking a constructor arg that global
+// mutexes should pass in, that causes the destructor to do no
+// work.  We still depend on the compiler not doing anything
+// weird to a Mutex's memory after it is destroyed, but for a
+// static global variable, that's pretty safe.
