// Recommended macros for declaring and defining features and parameters:
//
// - `kFeature` is the C++ identifier that will be used for the `base::Feature`.
// - `name` is the feature name, which must be globally unique. This name is
//   used to enable/disable features via experiments and command-line flags.
//   Names should use CamelCase-style naming, e.g. "MyGreatFeature".
// - `default_state` is the default state to use for the feature, i.e.
//   `base::FEATURE_DISABLED_BY_DEFAULT` or `base::FEATURE_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT`.
//   As noted above, the actual runtime state may differ from the default state,
//   due to field trials or command-line switches.

// Provides a forward declaration for `kFeature` in a header file, e.g.
//
//   BASE_DECLARE_FEATURE(kMyFeature);
//
// If the feature needs to be marked as exported, i.e. it is referenced by

// The Feature struct is used to define the default state for a feature. There

// defined as a constant global variable or file static. Declare and define
// features using the `BASE_DECLARE_FEATURE()` and `BASE_FEATURE()` macros
// above, as there are some subtleties involved.
//
// Feature constants are internally mutable, as this allows them to contain a
// mutable member to cache their override state, while still remaining declared
// as const. This cache member allows for significantly faster IsEnabled()
// checks.
//
// However, the "Mutable Constants" check [1] detects this as a regression,
// because this usually means that a readonly symbol is put in writable memory
// when readonly memory would be more efficient.
//
// The performance gains of the cache are large enough to offset the downsides
// to having the symbols in bssdata rather than rodata. Use LOGICALLY_CONST to
// suppress the "Mutable Constants" check.
