Statistics Counter Size

Hi all     I have been having a good look around but have not come across the answer to this.     How big can each of the statistics counters go? Are they 32bits in size or more?...

Hi Simon,

 

 

Another poster tested (Click here and found it was somewhere around 2^31.

 

 

You could confirm this by setting a counter to somewhere close to 2^31 and then increment the counter until it flips sign.
