   1 <h2>Counters</h2>
   2
   3         <p>Counters is a Mono API for flexible statistics collection
   4         and is used to track different events inside the JIT.
   5
   6         <p>You would typically register an address with the
   7         <tt>mono_counters_register</tt> routine and increment the
   8         counters from your application as you go.   At the end of the
   9         program you would call mono_counters_dump which will display
  10         all the registered counters.
  11
  12         <p>If you need more complicated counter computation, a
  13         function can be provided instead of an address.  In that case
  14         the <tt>MONO_COUNTER_CALLBACK</tt> flag must be ored in the
  15         type request.
  16
  17         <p>The types that can be rendered are:
  18
  19 <pre>
  20        MONO_COUNTER_INT
  21        MONO_COUNTER_UINT
  22        MONO_COUNTER_WORD
  23        MONO_COUNTER_LONG
  24        MONO_COUNTER_ULONG
  25        MONO_COUNTER_DOUBLE
  26        MONO_COUNTER_STRING
  27 </pre>
  28
  29         <p>To organize the output, you register also a section where
  30         the counter will be displayed, or one of the following values
  31         when you register your counter:
  32
  33 <pre>
  34
  35        MONO_COUNTER_JIT
  36        MONO_COUNTER_GC
  37        MONO_COUNTER_METADATA
  38        MONO_COUNTER_GENERICS
  39        MONO_COUNTER_SECURITY
  40 </pre>
