This function is only used in ompi_spc.c and is hence declared as static.
Remove its prototype from the header file in order to silence compiler warnings who will typically consider ompi_spc_get_count() as a declared but not defined function.

This code is the implementation of Software-base Performance Counters as described in the paper 'Using Software-Base Performance Counters to Expose Low-Level Open MPI Performance Information' in EuroMPI/USA '17 (http://icl.cs.utk.edu/news_pub/submissions/software-performance-counters.pdf). More practical usage information can be found here: https://github.com/davideberius/ompi/wiki/How-to-Use-Software-Based-Performance-Counters-(SPCs)-in-Open-MPI.
All software events functions are put in macros that become no-ops when SOFTWARE_EVENTS_ENABLE is not defined. The internal timer units have been changed to cycles to avoid division operations which was a large source of overhead as discussed in the paper. Added a --with-spc configure option to enable SPCs in the Open MPI build. This defines SOFTWARE_EVENTS_ENABLE. Added an MCA parameter, mpi_spc_enable, for turning on specific counters. Added an MCA parameter, mpi_spc_dump_enabled, for turning on and off dumping SPC counters in MPI_Finalize. Added an SPC test and example.
