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. #ifndef BASE_METRICS_HISTOGRAM_H_ #define BASE_METRICS_HISTOGRAM_H_ #include #include #include #include #include #include #include "base/base_export.h" #include "base/compiler_specific.h" #include "base/containers/span.h" #include "base/gtest_prod_util.h" #include "base/logging.h" #include "base/macros.h" #include "base/metrics/bucket_ranges.h" #include "base/metrics/histogram_base.h" #include "base/metrics/histogram_samples.h" #include "base/strings/string_piece.h" #include "base/time/time.h" namespace base { class BooleanHistogram; class CustomHistogram; class DelayedPersistentAllocation; class Histogram; class HistogramTest; class LinearHistogram; class Pickle; class PickleIterator; class SampleVector; class SampleVectorBase; class BASE_EXPORT Histogram : public HistogramBase { public: // Initialize maximum number of buckets in histograms as 16,384. static const uint32_t kBucketCount_MAX; typedef std::vector Counts; ~Histogram() override; //---------------------------------------------------------------------------- // For a valid histogram, input should follow these restrictions: // minimum > 0 (if a minimum below 1 is specified, it will implicitly be // normalized up to 1) // maximum > minimum // buckets > 2 [minimum buckets needed: underflow, overflow and the range] // Additionally, // buckets <= (maximum - minimum + 2) - this is to ensure that we don't have // more buckets than the range of numbers; having more buckets than 1 per // value in the range would be nonsensical. static HistogramBase* FactoryGet(const std::string& name, Sample minimum, Sample maximum, uint32_t bucket_count, int32_t flags); static HistogramBase* FactoryTimeGet(const std::string& name, base::TimeDelta minimum, base::TimeDelta maximum, uint32_t bucket_count, int32_t flags); static HistogramBase* FactoryMicrosecondsTimeGet(const std::string& name, base::TimeDelta minimum, base::TimeDelta maximum, uint32_t bucket_count, int32_t flags); // Overloads of the above functions that take a const char* |name| param, to // avoid code bloat from the std::string constructor being inlined into call // sites. static HistogramBase* FactoryGet(const char* name, Sample minimum, Sample maximum, uint32_t bucket_count, int32_t flags); static HistogramBase* FactoryTimeGet(const char* name, base::TimeDelta minimum, base::TimeDelta maximum, uint32_t bucket_count, int32_t flags); static HistogramBase* FactoryMicrosecondsTimeGet(const char* name, base::TimeDelta minimum, base::TimeDelta maximum, uint32_t bucket_count, int32_t flags); // Create a histogram using data in persistent storage. static std::unique_ptr PersistentCreate( const char* name, Sample minimum, Sample maximum, const BucketRanges* ranges, const DelayedPersistentAllocation& counts, const DelayedPersistentAllocation& logged_counts, HistogramSamples::Metadata* meta, HistogramSamples::Metadata* logged_meta); static void InitializeBucketRanges(Sample minimum, Sample maximum, BucketRanges* ranges); // This constant if for FindCorruption.
