Crate global_counter

This crate implements global, thread-safe counters.

Concerning performance, the general ranking is, from fastest to slowest:

• Flushing primitive counters
• Approximate primitive counters
• Exact primitive atomic counters
• Generic counter

Don’t forget to make your own benchmarks, as those are very specific to the computing system in general and, in this case, to the OS in specific.

Modules

• generic
  This module contains a global, generic counter and the accompanying Inc trait.
• primitive
  This module contains global counters for primitive integer types.

Macros

• global_counter
  Creates a new global, generic counter, starting from the given value.
• global_default_counter
