//
// This header file defines the API for extending Abseil flag support to
// custom types, and defines the set of overloads for fundamental types.
//
// Out of the box, the Abseil flags library supports the following types:
//
// * `bool`
// * `int16_t`
// * `uint16_t`
// * `int32_t`
// * `uint32_t`
// * `int64_t`
// * `uint64_t`
// * `float`
// * `double`
// * `std::string`
// * `std::vector<std::string>`
// * `absl::LogSeverity` (provided here due to dependency ordering)
//
// Note that support for integral types is implemented using overloads for
// variable-width fundamental types (`short`, `int`, `long`, etc.). However,
// you should prefer the fixed-width integral types (`int32_t`, `uint64_t`,
// etc.) we've noted above within flag definitions.

//
// In addition, several Abseil libraries provide their own custom support for
// Abseil flags.
//
// The Abseil time library provides the following support for civil time values:
//
// * `absl::CivilSecond`
// * `absl::CivilMinute`
// * `absl::CivilHour`
// * `absl::CivilDay`
// * `absl::CivilMonth`
// * `absl::CivilYear`
//
// and also provides support for the following absolute time values:
//
// * `absl::Duration`
// * `absl::Time`
//
// Additional support for Abseil types will be noted here as it is added.
//
// You can also provide your own custom flags by adding overloads for
// `AbslParseFlag()` and `AbslUnparseFlag()` to your type definitions. (See
// below.)
//
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Adding Type Support for Abseil Flags
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// To add support for your user-defined type, add overloads of `AbslParseFlag()`
// and `AbslUnparseFlag()` as free (non-member) functions to your type. If `T`
// is a class type, these functions can be friend function definitions. These
// overloads must be added to the same namespace where the type is defined, so
// that they can be discovered by Argument-Dependent Lookup (ADL).
//
// Example:
//
//   namespace foo {
//
//   enum OutputMode { kPlainText, kHtml };
//
//   // AbslParseFlag converts from a string to OutputMode.
//   // Must be in same namespace as OutputMode.
//
//   // Parses an OutputMode from the command line flag value `text. Returns
//   // `true` and sets `*mode` on success; returns `false` and sets `*error`
//   // on failure.
//   bool AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view text,
//                      OutputMode* mode,
//                      std::string* error) {
//     if (text == "plaintext") {
//       *mode = kPlainText;
//       return true;
//     }
//     if (text == "html") {
//       *mode = kHtml;
//      return true;
//     }
//     *error = "unknown value for enumeration";
//     return false;
//  }
//
//  // AbslUnparseFlag converts from an OutputMode to a string.
//  // Must be in same namespace as OutputMode.
//
//  // Returns a textual flag value corresponding to the OutputMode `mode`.
//  std::string AbslUnparseFlag(OutputMode mode) {
//    switch (mode) {
//      case kPlainText: return "plaintext";
//      case kHtml: return "html";
//    }
//    return absl::StrCat(mode);
//  }
//
// Notice that neither `AbslParseFlag()` nor `AbslUnparseFlag()` are class
// members, but free functions. `AbslParseFlag/AbslUnparseFlag()` overloads
// for a type should only be declared in the same file and namespace as said
// type. The proper `AbslParseFlag/AbslUnparseFlag()` implementations for a
// given type will be discovered via Argument-Dependent Lookup (ADL).
//
// `AbslParseFlag()` may need, in turn, to parse simpler constituent types
// using `absl::ParseFlag()`. For example, a custom struct `MyFlagType`
// consisting of a `std::pair<int, std::string>` would add an `AbslParseFlag()`
// overload for its `MyFlagType` like so:
//
// Example:
//
//   namespace my_flag_type {
//
//   struct MyFlagType {
//     std::pair<int, std::string> my_flag_data;
//   };
//
//   bool AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view text, MyFlagType* flag,
//                      std::string* err);
//
//   std::string AbslUnparseFlag(const MyFlagType&);
//
//   // Within the implementation, `AbslParseFlag()` will, in turn invoke
//   // `absl::ParseFlag()` on its constituent `int` and `std::string` types
//   // (which have built-in Abseil flag support.
//
//   bool AbslParseFlag(absl::string_view text, MyFlagType* flag,
//                      std::string* err) {
//     std::pair<absl::string_view, absl::string_view> tokens =
//         absl::StrSplit(text, ',');
//     if (!absl::ParseFlag(tokens.first, &flag->my_flag_data.first, err))
//         return false;
//     if (!absl::ParseFlag(tokens.second, &flag->my_flag_data.second, err))
//         return false;
//     return true;
//   }
//
//   // Similarly, for unparsing, we can simply invoke `absl::UnparseFlag()` on
//   // the constituent types.
//   std::string AbslUnparseFlag(const MyFlagType& flag) {
//     return absl::StrCat(absl::UnparseFlag(flag.my_flag_data.first),
//                         ",",
//                         absl::UnparseFlag(flag.my_flag_data.second));
//   }
