Issue #8 Histogram Library and Ping Pong Latency functionality

[akorzan]

I added to sockets/latency/latency-count.c the newly implement histogram library.

Logarithmic histogram would be preferable for such an application, but nonetheless a linear histogram is a worthwhile addition.

To create the histogram, simply include the header file found in util/hist.h.

Create and free functions are provided. The functions are rather self explanatory.

/* Creates and returns the histogram data structure */
struct histogram* histogram_create(int min, int max, int num_buckets)

/* Increments the respective bucket in the histogram */
void histogram_inc(struct histogram* hist, int data_point)

/* Prints the histogram to the console */
void histogram_print(struct histogram* hist)

/* Frees the histogram from memory */
void histogram_free(struct histogram* hist)

be sure to update this to deal with the case where a user adds a value that is greater than the last bucket (line 38).

Also, you need to remove your binary file.

Post a comment after you update this.
