// develop flags are settable / visible only during development and are constant in the PRODUCT version

// notproduct flags are settable / visible only during development and are not declared in the PRODUCT version
// develop_pd/product_pd flags are the same as develop/product, except that their default values

However, we declare the notproduct flags in a product build anyway:

#ifdef PRODUCT
#define DECLARE_DEVELOPER_FLAG(type, name, value, ...) const type name = value;

AfterJDK-8292590, we will have a non-consistent behavior such that:
[1] Reading the flag works:
if (UseDebuggerErgo) {
[2] But setting the flag will cause a C++ compile error
FLAG_SET_ERGO_IF_DEFAULT(UseDebuggerErgo1, true);
// develop flags are settable / visible only during development and are constant in the PRODUCT version
