AuxCounters

[Henri Tremblay]

Ok. That was my understanding so far.

Then, I don't understand how it's calculated. Lets say I use OPERATIONS and
Throughput (per second). And I increment once the counter. I will get the
number of time the counter was incremented per second? And then the average
time is what? 1/throughput?

Now, for my original question. Will it be crazy to have a way to split
executions according to an enum returned by the benchmarked method? By
crazy I mean impossible. Or a boolean.

Thanks,
Henri
