// Macros for allowing WebRTC clients (e.g. Chrome) to gather and aggregate
// statistics.
//
// Histogram for counters.
// RTC_HISTOGRAM_COUNTS(name, sample, min, max, bucket_count);
//
// Histogram for enumerators.
// The boundary should be above the max enumerator sample.
// RTC_HISTOGRAM_ENUMERATION(name, sample, boundary);
//
//
// The macros use the methods HistogramFactoryGetCounts,
// HistogramFactoryGetEnumeration and HistogramAdd.
//
// Therefore, WebRTC clients must either:
//
// - provide implementations of
//   Histogram* webrtc::metrics::HistogramFactoryGetCounts(
//       const std::string& name, int sample, int min, int max,
//       int bucket_count);
//   Histogram* webrtc::metrics::HistogramFactoryGetEnumeration(
//       const std::string& name, int sample, int boundary);
//   void webrtc::metrics::HistogramAdd(
//       Histogram* histogram_pointer, const std::string& name, int sample);
//
// - or link with the default implementations (i.e.
//   system_wrappers/system_wrappers.gyp:metrics_default).
//
//
// Example usage:
//
// RTC_HISTOGRAM_COUNTS("WebRTC.Video.NacksSent", nacks_sent, 1, 100000, 100);
//
// enum Types {
//   kTypeX,
//   kTypeY,
//   kBoundary,
// };
//
// RTC_HISTOGRAM_ENUMERATION("WebRTC.Types", kTypeX, kBoundary);


// Macros for adding samples to a named histogram.
//
// NOTE: this is a temporary solution.
// The aim is to mimic the behaviour in Chromium's src/base/metrics/histograms.h
// However as atomics are not supported in webrtc, this is for now a modified
// and temporary solution. Note that the histogram is constructed/found for
// each call. Therefore, for now only use this implementation for metrics
// that do not need to be updated frequently.
// TODO(asapersson): Change implementation when atomics are supported.
// Also consider changing string to const char* when switching to atomics.

// Histogram for counters.
