CounterTools

Indexing

Many hadware values start at 0 (zero) while Julia's indexing is Index 1. To make this distinction clear, CounterTools implements an CounterTools.IndexZero type. The semantics of Integers in CounterTools is thus:

A regular Integer will be interpreted as Index 1.

Therefore, if your system has 8 cpus, these will be numbered 1, 2, ..., 8.

An IndexZero value will be interpreted as literally starting at 0.

Therefore, reference CPU 0 could be referred to as either the Integer 1, or CounterTools.IndexZero(0).

CounterTools.IndexZero — Type

IndexZero

Specify that the value contained should be interpreted as starting at zero (0).

For example,

convert(CounterTools.IndexZero, 1) == CounterTools.IndexZero(0)

CounterTools.value — Function

value(x::IndexZero)

Return the Integer value of x.
