60*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag// --- A note about thread-safety:
61*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag//
62*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag// We describe many functions in this routine as being thread-hostile,
63*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag// thread-compatible, or thread-safe.  Here are the meanings we use:
64*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag//
65*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag// thread-safe: it is safe for multiple threads to call this routine
66*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag//   (or, when referring to a class, methods of this class)
67*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag//   concurrently.
68*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag// thread-hostile: it is not safe for multiple threads to call this
69*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag//   routine (or methods of this class) concurrently.  In gflags,
70*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag//   most thread-hostile routines are intended to be called early in,
71*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag//   or even before, main() -- that is, before threads are spawned.
72*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag// thread-compatible: it is safe for multiple threads to read from
73*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag//   this variable (when applied to variables), or to call const
74*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag//   methods of this class (when applied to classes), as long as no
75*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag//   other thread is writing to the variable or calling non-const
76*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag//   methods of this class.

104*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag// when the flag is parsed from the commandline, or is later set via
105*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag// SetCommandLineOption, we call the validation function. It is _not_

107*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag//
108*08ab5237SOystein Eftevaag// The validation function should return true if the flag value is valid, and
