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

mono_counters_dump (int section_mask, FILE *outfile)
Parameters
section_mask: The sections to dump counters foroutfile: a FILE to dump the results to
Remarks
	 
	 Displays the counts of all the enabled counters registered. 
  
 
    mono_counters_enable
    void
mono_counters_enable (int section_mask)
Parameters
section_mask: a mask listing the sections that will be displayed
Remarks
	 
	 This is used to track which counters will be displayed.
