// Define the type id and initialize with a non-zero value.
// Initializing with a zero value means the variable can end up in either the
// .data or the .bss section. This can lead to multiple definition linker errors
// when some object files are compiled with a compiler that puts the variable
// into .data but they are linked to object files from a different compiler that
// put the variable into .bss. To prevent this issue from happening, initialize
// the variable with a non-zero value, which forces it to land in .data (because
// .bss is zero-initialized).
