pub const fn align_of<T>() -> usize
🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (prelude_future)
Expand description

Returns the ABI-required minimum alignment of a type in bytes.

Every reference to a value of the type T must be a multiple of this number.

This is the alignment used for struct fields. It may be smaller than the preferred alignment.

§Examples

assert_eq!(4, align_of::<i32>());
