#pragma once // WeaselDB Metrics System // // High-performance metrics collection with Prometheus-compatible output. // // DESIGN PRINCIPLES: // - Single-writer semantics: Each metric instance bound to creating thread // - Lock-free operations using atomic storage for doubles // - Full IEEE 754 double precision preservation via bit reinterpretation // - Single global registry: All metrics registered in one global namespace // // CRITICAL THREAD SAFETY CONSTRAINT: // Each metric instance has exactly ONE writer thread (the creating thread). // It is undefined behavior to call inc()/dec()/set()/observe() from a different // thread. // // REGISTRY MODEL: // This implementation uses a single global registry for all metrics, unlike // typical Prometheus client libraries that support multiple registries. // This design choice prioritizes simplicity and performance over flexibility. // // METRIC LIFECYCLE: // Metrics are created once and persist for the application lifetime. There is // no unregistration mechanism - this prevents accidental metric loss and // simplifies the implementation. // // USAGE: // auto counter_family = metric::create_counter("requests_total", "Total // requests"); auto counter = counter_family.create({{"method", "GET"}}); // // Bound to this thread counter.inc(1.0); // ONLY call from creating thread // // auto histogram_family = metric::create_histogram("latency", "Request // latency", {0.1, 0.5, 1.0}); auto histogram = // histogram_family.create({{"endpoint", "/api"}}); // Bound to this thread // histogram.observe(0.25); // ONLY call from creating thread #include #include #include #include #include #include #include "arena_allocator.hpp" namespace metric { // Forward declarations template struct Family; // Callback function type for dynamic metric values // Called during render() to get current metric value // THREAD SAFETY: May be called from arbitrary thread, but serialized by // render() mutex - no need to be thread-safe internally template using MetricCallback = std::function; // Counter: Monotonically increasing metric with single-writer semantics // Use for: request counts, error counts, bytes processed, etc. // // THREAD SAFETY: Each counter instance has exactly ONE writer thread (the one // that created it).
