5 // A StatsTable is a table of statistics.  It can be used across multiple
6 // processes and threads, maintaining cheap statistics counters without
7 // locking.
8 //
9 // The goal is to make it very cheap and easy for developers to add
10 // counters to code, without having to build one-off utilities or mechanisms
11 // to track the counters, and also to allow a single "view" to display
12 // the contents of all counters.
13 //
14 // To achieve this, StatsTable creates a shared memory segment to store
15 // the data for the counters.  Upon creation, it has a specific size
16 // which governs the maximum number of counters and concurrent
17 // threads/processes which can use it.
