I don't agree with the last line. Does it assert that counter_u64_t is
implemented using uint64_t? That is true, but that is internal detail,
that might be changed in future.


Yes, it asserts that counter_u64_t is a 64-bit counter, as the name of the typedef hints at.

From the past experience there has been several cases where someone has changed a field in structure which is exported as a sysctl, and then the sysctls were never updated.
