Counters
	
	Counters is a Mono API for flexible statistics collection
	and is used to track different events inside the JIT.
        
You would typically register an address with the
        
mono_counters_register routine and increment the
        counters from your application as you go.   At the end of the
        program you would call mono_counters_dump which will display
        all the registered counters.
	
If you need more complicated counter computation, a
        function can be provided instead of an address.  In that case
        the 
MONO_COUNTER_CALLBACK flag must be ored in the
        type request. 
	
The types that can be rendered are:
		
       MONO_COUNTER_INT
       MONO_COUNTER_UINT
       MONO_COUNTER_WORD
       MONO_COUNTER_LONG
       MONO_COUNTER_ULONG
       MONO_COUNTER_DOUBLE
       MONO_COUNTER_STRING
	
	To organize the output, you register also a section where
	the counter will be displayed, or one of the following values
	when you register your counter:
       MONO_COUNTER_JIT
       MONO_COUNTER_GC
       MONO_COUNTER_METADATA
       MONO_COUNTER_GENERICS
       MONO_COUNTER_SECURITY
	
    mono_counters_dump
    
        
        
            
            Syntax
            void
mono_counters_dump (int section_mask, FILE *outfile)
            
            Parameters
            | section_mask | The sections to dump counters for | 
| outfile | a FILE to dump the results to; NULLwill default to g_print | 
             Description
             
 Displays the counts of all the enabled counters registered. 
 To filter by variance, you can OR one or more variance with the specific section you want.
 Use MONO_COUNTER_SECTION_MASK to dump all categories of a specific variance.
         
     
  
    mono_counters_enable
    
        
        
            
            Syntax
            void
mono_counters_enable (int section_mask)
            
            Parameters
            | sectionmask | a mask listing the sections that will be displayed | 
             Description
             
 This is used to track which counters will be displayed.
