    79  	// Implementation note: this function would be faster and simpler
    80  	// if we could just zero out the entire counter array, but for the
    81  	// moment we go through and zero out just the slots in the array
    82  	// corresponding to the counter values. We do this to avoid the
    83  	// following bad scenario: suppose that a user builds their Go
    84  	// program with "-cover", and that program has a function (call it
    85  	// main.XYZ) that invokes ClearCounters:
    86  	//
    87  	//     func XYZ() {
    88  	//       ... do some stuff ...
    89  	//       coverage.ClearCounters()
    90  	//       if someCondition {   <<--- HERE
    91  	//         ...
    92  	//       }
    93  	//     }
    94  	//
    95  	// At the point where ClearCounters executes, main.XYZ has not yet
    96  	// finished running, thus as soon as the call returns the line
    97  	// marked "HERE" above will trigger the writing of a non-zero
    98  	// value into main.XYZ's counter slab. However since we've just
    99  	// finished clearing the entire counter segment, we will have lost
   100  	// the values in the prolog portion of main.XYZ's counter slab
   101  	// (nctrs, pkgid, funcid). This means that later on at the end of
   102  	// program execution as we walk through the entire counter array
   103  	// for the program looking for executed functions, we'll zoom past
   104  	// main.XYZ's prolog (which was zero'd) and hit the non-zero
   105  	// counter value corresponding to the "HERE" block, which will
   106  	// then be interpreted as the start of another live function.
   107  	// Things will go downhill from there.
   108  	//
   109  	// This same scenario is also a potential risk if the program is
   110  	// running on an architecture that permits reordering of
   111  	// writes/stores, since the inconsistency described above could
   112  	// arise here. Example scenario:
   113  	//
   114  	//     func ABC() {
   115  	//       ...                    // prolog
   116  	//       if alwaysTrue() {
   117  	//         XYZ()                // counter update here
   118  	//       }
   119  	//     }
   120  	//
   121  	// In the instrumented version of ABC, the prolog of the function
   122  	// will contain a series of stores to the initial portion of the
   123  	// counter array to write number-of-counters, pkgid, funcid. Later
   124  	// in the function there is also a store to increment a counter
   125  	// for the block containing the call to XYZ(). If the CPU is
   126  	// allowed to reorder stores and decides to issue the XYZ store
   127  	// before the prolog stores, this could be observable as an
   128  	// inconsistency similar to the one above. Hence the requirement
   129  	// for atomic counter mode: according to package atomic docs,
   130  	// "...operations that happen in a specific order on one thread,
   131  	// will always be observed to happen in exactly that order by
   132  	// another thread". Thus we can be sure that there will be no
   133  	// inconsistency when reading the counter array from the thread
   134  	// running ClearCounters.
