80 // Retired registrations:
81 //
82 // Retired flag registrations are treated specially. A 'retired' flag is
83 // provided only for compatibility with automated invocations that still
84 // name it. A 'retired' flag:
85 // - is not bound to a C++ FLAGS_ reference.
86 // - has a type and a value, but that value is intentionally inaccessible.
87 // - does not appear in --help messages.
88 // - is fully supported by _all_ flag parsing routines.
89 // - consumes args normally, and complains about type mismatches in its
90 // argument.
91 // - emits a complaint but does not die (e.g. LOG(ERROR)) if it is
92 // accessed by name through the flags API for parsing or otherwise.
93 //
94 // The registrations for a flag happen in an unspecified order as the
95 // initializers for the namespace-scope objects of a program are run.
96 // Any number of weak registrations for a flag can weakly define the flag.
97 // One non-weak registration will upgrade the flag from weak to non-weak.
98 // Further weak registrations of a non-weak flag are ignored.
99 //
100 // This mechanism is designed to support moving dead flags into a
101 // 'graveyard' library. An example migration:
102 //
103 // 0: Remove references to this FLAGS_flagname in the C++ codebase.
104 // 1: Register as 'retired' in old_lib.
105 // 2: Make old_lib depend on graveyard.
106 // 3: Add a redundant 'retired' registration to graveyard.
107 // 4: Remove the old_lib 'retired' registration.
108 // 5: Eventually delete the graveyard registration entirely.
109 //
110 // Returns bool to enable use in namespace-scope initializers.
111 // For example:
112 //
113 // static const bool dummy = base::RetiredFlag<int32_t>("myflag");
114 //
115 // Or to declare several at once:
116 //
117 // static bool dummies[] = {
118 // base::RetiredFlag<std::string>("some_string_flag"),
119 // base::RetiredFlag<double>("some_double_flag"),
120 // base::RetiredFlag<int32_t>("some_int32_flag")
121 // };
122 
123 // Retire flag with name "name" and type indicated by ops.
124 bool Retire(FlagOpFn ops, FlagMarshallingOpFn marshalling_ops,
125  const char* name);
