Detailed Description

Cycles is a wrapper class for representing cycle counts, i.e.

a relative difference between two points in time, expressed in a number of clock cycles.

The Cycles wrapper class is a type-safe alternative to a typedef, aiming to avoid unintentional mixing of cycles and ticks in the code base.

Note that there is no overloading of the bool operator as the compiler is allowed to turn booleans into integers and this causes a whole range of issues in a handful locations. The solution to this problem would be to use the safe bool idiom, but for now we make do without the test and use the more elaborate comparison > Cycles(0).
