/// LLVM_MARK_AS_BITMASK_ENUM lets you opt in an individual enum type so you can
/// perform bitwise operations on it without putting static_cast everywhere.
///
/// \code
/// enum MyEnum {
/// E1 = 1, E2 = 2, E3 = 4, E4 = 8,
/// LLVM_MARK_AS_BITMASK_ENUM(/* LargestValue = */ E4)
/// };
///
/// void Foo() {
/// MyEnum A = (E1 | E2) & E3 ^ ~E4; // Look, ma: No static_cast!
/// }
/// \endcode
///
/// Normally when you do a bitwise operation on an enum value, you get back an
/// instance of the underlying type (e.g. int). But using this macro, bitwise
/// ops on your enum will return you back instances of the enum. This is
/// particularly useful for enums which represent a combination of flags.
///
/// The parameter to LLVM_MARK_AS_BITMASK_ENUM should be the largest individual
/// value in your enum.
///
/// All of the enum's values must be non-negative.
/// LLVM_ENABLE_BITMASK_ENUMS_IN_NAMESPACE() pulls the operator overloads used
/// by LLVM_MARK_AS_BITMASK_ENUM into the current namespace.
///
/// Suppose you have an enum foo::bar::MyEnum. Before using
/// LLVM_MARK_AS_BITMASK_ENUM on MyEnum, you must put
/// LLVM_ENABLE_BITMASK_ENUMS_IN_NAMESPACE() somewhere inside namespace foo or
/// namespace foo::bar. This allows the relevant operator overloads to be found
/// by ADL.
///
/// You don't need to use this macro in namespace llvm; it's done at the bottom
/// of this file.
