namespace base {
// A wrapper that makes it easy to create an object of type T with static
// storage duration that:
// - is only constructed on first access
// - never invokes the destructor
// in order to satisfy the styleguide ban on global constructors and
// destructors.
//
// Runtime constant example:
// const std::string& GetLineSeparator() {
// // Forwards to std::string(size_t, char, const Allocator&) constructor.
// static const base::NoDestructor<std::string> s(5, '-');
// return *s;
// }
//
// More complex initialization with a lambda:
// const std::string& GetSessionNonce() {
// static const base::NoDestructor<std::string> nonce([] {
// std::string s(16);
// crypto::RandString(s.data(), s.size());
// return s;
// }());
// return *nonce;
// }
//
// NoDestructor<T> stores the object inline, so it also avoids a pointer
// indirection and a malloc. Also note that since C++11 static local variable
// initialization is thread-safe and so is this pattern. Code should prefer to
// use NoDestructor<T> over:
// - A function scoped static T* or T& that is dynamically initialized.
// - A global base::LazyInstance<T>.
//
// Note that since the destructor is never run, this *will* leak memory if used
// as a stack or member variable. Furthermore, a NoDestructor<T> should never
// have global scope as that may require a static initializer.
