Hi William,

I originally wrote it this way, but I had a doubt since some macros use
the structure members directly.

I can update to use COUNTER_COMP_SIGNAL_U64() instead, that will spare
few lines.

Please let me know what you prefer (I guess your proposal above ?).

Best Regards,
Thanks,
Fabrice
