// Histogram is an object that aggregates statistics, and can summarize them in
// various forms, including ASCII graphical, HTML, and numerically (as a
// vector of numbers corresponding to each of the aggregating buckets).

// It supports calls to accumulate either time intervals (which are processed
// as integral number of milliseconds), or arbitrary integral units.

// For Histogram (exponential histogram), LinearHistogram and CustomHistogram,
// the minimum for a declared range is 1 (instead of 0), while the maximum is
// (HistogramBase::kSampleType_MAX - 1). However, there will always be underflow
// and overflow buckets added automatically, so a 0 bucket will always exist
// even when a minimum value of 1 is specified.

// Each use of a histogram with the same name will reference the same underlying
// data, so it is safe to record to the same histogram from multiple locations
// in the code. It is a runtime error if all uses of the same histogram do not
// agree exactly in type, bucket size and range.

// For Histogram and LinearHistogram, the maximum for a declared range should
// always be larger (not equal) than minimal range. Zero and
// HistogramBase::kSampleType_MAX are implicitly added as first and last ranges,
// so the smallest legal bucket_count is 3. However CustomHistogram can have
// bucket count as 2 (when you give a custom ranges vector containing only 1
// range).
// For these 3 kinds of histograms, the max bucket count is always
// (Histogram::kBucketCount_MAX - 1).

// The buckets layout of class Histogram is exponential. For example, buckets
// might contain (sequentially) the count of values in the following intervals:
// [0,1), [1,2), [2,4), [4,8), [8,16), [16,32), [32,64), [64,infinity)
// That bucket allocation would actually result from construction of a histogram
// for values between 1 and 64, with 8 buckets, such as:
// Histogram count("some name", 1, 64, 8);
// Note that the underflow bucket [0,1) and the overflow bucket [64,infinity)
// are also counted by the constructor in the user supplied "bucket_count"
// argument.
// The above example has an exponential ratio of 2 (doubling the bucket width
// in each consecutive bucket).  The Histogram class automatically calculates
// the smallest ratio that it can use to construct the number of buckets
// selected in the constructor.  An another example, if you had 50 buckets,
// and millisecond time values from 1 to 10000, then the ratio between
// consecutive bucket widths will be approximately somewhere around the 50th
// root of 10000.  This approach provides very fine grain (narrow) buckets
// at the low end of the histogram scale, but allows the histogram to cover a
// gigantic range with the addition of very few buckets.

// Usually we use macros to define and use a histogram, which are defined in
// base/metrics/histogram_macros.h. Note: Callers should include that header
// directly if they only access the histogram APIs through macros.
//
// Macros use a pattern involving a function static variable, that is a pointer
// to a histogram.  This static is explicitly initialized on any thread
// that detects a uninitialized (NULL) pointer.  The potentially racy
// initialization is not a problem as it is always set to point to the same
// value (i.e., the FactoryGet always returns the same value).  FactoryGet
// is also completely thread safe, which results in a completely thread safe,
// and relatively fast, set of counters.  To avoid races at shutdown, the static
// pointer is NOT deleted, and we leak the histograms at process termination.
