// The LazyInstance<Type, Traits> class manages a single instance of Type,
// which will be lazily created on the first time it's accessed.  This class is
// useful for places you would normally use a function-level static, but you
// need to have guaranteed thread-safety.  The Type constructor will only ever
// be called once, even if two threads are racing to create the object.  Get()
// and Pointer() will always return the same, completely initialized instance.
//
// LazyInstance is completely thread safe, assuming that you create it safely.
// The class was designed to be POD initialized, so it shouldn't require a
// static constructor.  It really only makes sense to declare a LazyInstance as
// a global variable using the LAZY_INSTANCE_INITIALIZER initializer.
//
// LazyInstance is similar to Singleton, except it does not have the singleton
// property.  You can have multiple LazyInstance's of the same type, and each
// will manage a unique instance.  It also preallocates the space for Type, as
// to avoid allocating the Type instance on the heap.  This may help with the
// performance of creating the instance, and reducing heap fragmentation.  This
// requires that Type be a complete type so we can determine the size. See
// notes for advanced users below for more explanations.
//
// Example usage:
//   static LazyInstance<MyClass>::type my_instance = LAZY_INSTANCE_INITIALIZER;
//   void SomeMethod() {
//     my_instance.Get().SomeMethod();  // MyClass::SomeMethod()
//
//     MyClass* ptr = my_instance.Pointer();
//     ptr->DoDoDo();  // MyClass::DoDoDo
//   }
//
// Additionally you can override the way your instance is constructed by
// providing your own trait:
// Example usage:
//   struct MyCreateTrait {
//     static void Construct(MyClass* allocated_ptr) {
//       new (allocated_ptr) MyClass(/* extra parameters... */);
//     }
//   };
//   static LazyInstance<MyClass, MyCreateTrait>::type my_instance =
//      LAZY_INSTANCE_INITIALIZER;
//
// WARNINGS:
// - This implementation of LazyInstance is NOT THREAD-SAFE by default. See
//   ThreadSafeInitOnceTrait declared below for that.
// - Lazy initialization comes with a cost. Make sure that you don't use it on
//   critical path. Consider adding your initialization code to a function
//   which is explicitly called once.
//
// Notes for advanced users:
// LazyInstance can actually be used in two different ways:
//
// - "Static mode" which is the default mode since it is the most efficient
//   (no extra heap allocation). In this mode, the instance is statically
//   allocated (stored in the global data section at compile time).
//   The macro LAZY_STATIC_INSTANCE_INITIALIZER (= LAZY_INSTANCE_INITIALIZER)
//   must be used to initialize static lazy instances.
//
// - "Dynamic mode". In this mode, the instance is dynamically allocated and
//   constructed (using new) by default. This mode is useful if you have to
//   deal with some code already allocating the instance for you (e.g.
//   OS::Mutex() which returns a new private OS-dependent subclass of Mutex).
//   The macro LAZY_DYNAMIC_INSTANCE_INITIALIZER must be used to initialize
//   dynamic lazy instances.
