+<p><tt>__builtin_readcyclecounter</tt> is used to access the cycle counter
+register (or a similar low-latency, high-accuracy clock) on those targets that
+support it.

+
+<p><b>Example of Use:</b></p>
+
+<pre>
+unsigned long long t0 = __builtin_readcyclecounter();
+do_something();
+unsigned long long t1 = __builtin_readcyclecounter();
+unsigned long long cycles_to_do_something = t1 - t0; // assuming no overflow
+</pre>
+
+<p><b>Description:</b></p>
+
+<p>The __builtin_readcyclecounter() builtin returns the cycle counter value,
+which may be either global or process/thread-specific depending on the target.
+As the backing counters often overflow quickly (on the order of
+seconds) this should only be used for timing small intervals. When not
+supported by the target, the return value is always zero. This builtin
+takes no arguments and produces an unsigned long long result.
