#include <type_traits>

// This is a helper for generating type-safe bitwise operators for flags that
// are defined by an enumeration.  By default, when a bitwise operation is
// performed on two enumerators of an enumeration, the result is the base type
// (int), not a value of the enumeration:
//
// enum SomeEnumOfFlags {
//    ONE = 1,
//    TWO = 2,
//    THREE = 4,
//     // etc.
// };
//
//  SomeEnumOfFlags flags = static_cast<SomeEnumOfFlags>(ONE | TWO);
//
//  By enabling these operators for an enum type:
//
//  DECLARE_FLAGS_ENUM(SomeEnumOfFlags);
//
//  The syntax is simplified to:
//
//  SomeEnumOfFlags flags = ONE | TWO;
//
//  But the following still does not compile without using a cast (as is
//  expected):
//
//  SomeEnumOfFlags flags = ONE | 2;

// This is the macro used to declare that an enum type |ENUM| should have bit-
// wise operators defined for it.
