// FlagSaver
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// A FlagSaver object stores the state of flags in the scope where the FlagSaver
// is defined, allowing modification of those flags within that scope and
// automatic restoration of the flags to their previous state upon leaving the
// scope.
//
// A FlagSaver can be used within tests to temporarily change the test
// environment and restore the test case to its previous state.
//
// Example:
//
//   void MyFunc() {
//    absl::FlagSaver fs;
//    ...
//    absl::SetFlag(FLAGS_myFlag, otherValue);
//    ...
//  } // scope of FlagSaver left, flags return to previous state
//
// This class is thread-safe.
