Detailed Description​

class chronon::Counter;

Counter - Per-instance counter declared as a unit member.

Each unit instance has its own counter with separate values:

  • Counter names include the unit's hierarchical path (e.g., "cpu0.alu0.ops")
  • Fast increment path (~2-3ns) via direct context access

Usage:

class ALU : public TickableUnit, public ObservableUnit {
    Counter ops_{this, "ops", "Operations executed"};
    Counter stalls_{this, "stalls", "Stall cycles"};

    void tick() override {
        ++ops_;          // Fast: ~2-3ns
        stalls_ += 5;    // Add 5
    }
};

Output (CSV):

cycle,unit_name,counter_name,value
10000,cpu0.alu0,ops,2500
10000,cpu0.alu1,ops,2400
10000,cpu1.alu0,ops,2550
