// Provide easy general purpose histogram in a macro, just like stats counters. |
-// The first four macros use 50 buckets. |
+// Most of these macros use 50 buckets, but check the definition for details. |
+// |
+// All of these macros must be called with |name| as a runtime constant --- it |
+// doesn't have to literally be a constant, but it must be the same string on |
+// all calls from a particular call site. If this rule is violated, |
+// STATIC_HISTOGRAM_POINTER_BLOCK will DCHECK, and if DCHECKS are disabled, the |
+// data will be written to the wrong histogram. |
