# Generates a C++ header file that contains a list of values under a specific variant
# or enum. The list can be used for ensuring that values in C++ are in sync with the
# histogram file. The header file provides a function to check if a value in is the list.
#
# Parameters:
#   input_xml_file: Input file that contains the allow list. This should be a
#     .xml file under path //tools/metrics/histograms/ or its subfolders.
#
#   namespace:
#     C++ namespace in which the generated code should be scoped.
#
#   tag:
#     XML tag that contains the values. Should be either "variant" or "enum".
#
#   allow_list_name:
#     Name of the variant or enum list in the histogram file.
#
#   output_file:
#     Name of the generated file to be used for checking if a value exists in the list.
