#[repr(transparent)]
pub struct Alignment(_);
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ptr_alignment_type #102070)
Expand description

A type storing a usize which is a power of two, and thus represents a possible alignment in the rust abstract machine.

Note that particularly large alignments, while representable in this type, are likely not to be supported by actual allocators and linkers.

Implementations

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ptr_alignment_type #102070)

The smallest possible alignment, 1.

All addresses are always aligned at least this much.

Examples
#![feature(ptr_alignment_type)]
use std::ptr::Alignment;

assert_eq!(Alignment::MIN.as_usize(), 1);
Run
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ptr_alignment_type #102070)

Returns the alignment for a type.

This provides the same numerical value as mem::align_of, but in an Alignment instead of a `usize.

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ptr_alignment_type #102070)

Creates an Alignment from a usize, or returns None if it’s not a power of two.

Note that 0 is not a power of two, nor a valid alignment.

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ptr_alignment_type #102070)

Creates an Alignment from a power-of-two usize.

Safety

align must be a power of two.

Equivalently, it must be 1 << exp for some exp in 0..usize::BITS. It must not be zero.

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ptr_alignment_type #102070)

Returns the alignment as a usize

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ptr_alignment_type #102070)

Returns the alignment as a NonZeroUsize

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (ptr_alignment_type #102070)

Returns the base-2 logarithm of the alignment.

This is always exact, as self represents a power of two.

Examples
#![feature(ptr_alignment_type)]
use std::ptr::Alignment;

assert_eq!(Alignment::of::<u8>().log2(), 0);
assert_eq!(Alignment::new(1024).unwrap().log2(), 10);
Run
