// The following enum should be used only as a constructor argument to indicate
// that the variable has static storage class, and that the constructor should
// do nothing to its state. It indicates to the reader that it is legal to
// declare a static instance of the class, provided the constructor is given
// the base::LINKER_INITIALIZED argument. Normally, it is unsafe to declare a
// static variable that has a constructor or a destructor because invocation
// order is undefined. However, IF the type can be initialized by filling with
// zeroes (which the loader does for static variables), AND the destructor also
// does nothing to the storage, AND there are no virtual methods, then a
// constructor declared as
// explicit MyClass(base::LinkerInitialized x) {}
// and invoked as
// static MyClass my_variable_name(base::LINKER_INITIALIZED);
