 		 #152086 - Not an Absolute....
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Never is a strong word that is false in this context. You can indeed know the cycle count simply by compiling the code and measuring the result. Such measurements can be done with an oscilloscope, disassembly of the executable code, or looking an an assembly listing from the compiler output.

The fact that the cycle count may be different with different compiler options, compiler versions, compiler vendors, code changes and so forth is another subject.
