Detailed Description

Optimized thread-safe counters.

Each vlib_[simple|combined]_counter_main_t consists of a per-thread vector of per-object counters.

The idea is to drastically eliminate atomic operations.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define vlib_counter_len

(

cm

)

vec_len((cm)->maxi)

Obtain the number of simple or combined counters allocated.

A macro which reduces to to vec_len(cm->maxi), the answer in either case.

Parameters

cm	- (vlib_simple_counter_main_t) or (vlib_combined_counter_main_t) the counter collection to interrogate

Returns

vec_len(cm->maxi)

Definition at line 324 of file counter.h.
