Function align_of

pub const fn align_of<T>() -> usize

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (prelude_2024)

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

use std::mem;

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