pub struct Layout { /* private fields */ }Expand description
Layout of a block of memory.
An instance of Layout describes a particular layout of memory.
You build a Layout up as an input to give to an allocator.
All layouts have an associated size and a power-of-two alignment.
(Note that layouts are not required to have non-zero size,
even though GlobalAlloc requires that all memory requests
be non-zero in size. A caller must either ensure that conditions
like this are met, use specific allocators with looser
requirements, or use the more lenient Allocator interface.)
Implementations
1.28.0 (const: 1.50.0) · sourcepub const fn from_size_align(
size: usize,
align: usize
) -> Result<Self, LayoutError>
pub const fn from_size_align(
size: usize,
align: usize
) -> Result<Self, LayoutError>
Constructs a Layout from a given size and align,
or returns LayoutError if any of the following conditions
are not met:
-
alignmust not be zero, -
alignmust be a power of two, -
size, when rounded up to the nearest multiple ofalign, must not overflow (i.e., the rounded value must be less than or equal tousize::MAX).
1.28.0 (const: 1.36.0) · sourcepub const unsafe fn from_size_align_unchecked(size: usize, align: usize) -> Self
pub const unsafe fn from_size_align_unchecked(size: usize, align: usize) -> Self
Creates a layout, bypassing all checks.
Safety
This function is unsafe as it does not verify the preconditions from
Layout::from_size_align.
The minimum size in bytes for a memory block of this layout.
The minimum byte alignment for a memory block of this layout.
Constructs a Layout suitable for holding a value of type T.
Produces layout describing a record that could be used to
allocate backing structure for T (which could be a trait
or other unsized type like a slice).
Produces layout describing a record that could be used to
allocate backing structure for T (which could be a trait
or other unsized type like a slice).
Safety
This function is only safe to call if the following conditions hold:
- If
TisSized, this function is always safe to call. - If the unsized tail of
Tis:- a slice, then the length of the slice tail must be an initialized
integer, and the size of the entire value
(dynamic tail length + statically sized prefix) must fit in
isize. - a trait object, then the vtable part of the pointer must point
to a valid vtable for the type
Tacquired by an unsizing coercion, and the size of the entire value (dynamic tail length + statically sized prefix) must fit inisize. - an (unstable) extern type, then this function is always safe to
call, but may panic or otherwise return the wrong value, as the
extern type’s layout is not known. This is the same behavior as
Layout::for_valueon a reference to an extern type tail. - otherwise, it is conservatively not allowed to call this function.
- a slice, then the length of the slice tail must be an initialized
integer, and the size of the entire value
(dynamic tail length + statically sized prefix) must fit in
Creates a NonNull that is dangling, but well-aligned for this Layout.
Note that the pointer value may potentially represent a valid pointer, which means this must not be used as a “not yet initialized” sentinel value. Types that lazily allocate must track initialization by some other means.
Creates a layout describing the record that can hold a value
of the same layout as self, but that also is aligned to
alignment align (measured in bytes).
If self already meets the prescribed alignment, then returns
self.
Note that this method does not add any padding to the overall
size, regardless of whether the returned layout has a different
alignment. In other words, if K has size 16, K.align_to(32)
will still have size 16.
Returns an error if the combination of self.size() and the given
align violates the conditions listed in Layout::from_size_align.
Returns the amount of padding we must insert after self
to ensure that the following address will satisfy align
(measured in bytes).
e.g., if self.size() is 9, then self.padding_needed_for(4)
returns 3, because that is the minimum number of bytes of
padding required to get a 4-aligned address (assuming that the
corresponding memory block starts at a 4-aligned address).
The return value of this function has no meaning if align is
not a power-of-two.
Note that the utility of the returned value requires align
to be less than or equal to the alignment of the starting
address for the whole allocated block of memory. One way to
satisfy this constraint is to ensure align <= self.align().
Creates a layout by rounding the size of this layout up to a multiple of the layout’s alignment.
This is equivalent to adding the result of padding_needed_for
to the layout’s current size.
Creates a layout describing the record for n instances of
self, with a suitable amount of padding between each to
ensure that each instance is given its requested size and
alignment. On success, returns (k, offs) where k is the
layout of the array and offs is the distance between the start
of each element in the array.
On arithmetic overflow, returns LayoutError.
Creates a layout describing the record for self followed by
next, including any necessary padding to ensure that next
will be properly aligned, but no trailing padding.
In order to match C representation layout repr(C), you should
call pad_to_align after extending the layout with all fields.
(There is no way to match the default Rust representation
layout repr(Rust), as it is unspecified.)
Note that the alignment of the resulting layout will be the maximum of
those of self and next, in order to ensure alignment of both parts.
Returns Ok((k, offset)), where k is layout of the concatenated
record and offset is the relative location, in bytes, of the
start of the next embedded within the concatenated record
(assuming that the record itself starts at offset 0).
On arithmetic overflow, returns LayoutError.
Examples
To calculate the layout of a #[repr(C)] structure and the offsets of
the fields from its fields’ layouts:
pub fn repr_c(fields: &[Layout]) -> Result<(Layout, Vec<usize>), LayoutError> {
let mut offsets = Vec::new();
let mut layout = Layout::from_size_align(0, 1)?;
for &field in fields {
let (new_layout, offset) = layout.extend(field)?;
layout = new_layout;
offsets.push(offset);
}
// Remember to finalize with `pad_to_align`!
Ok((layout.pad_to_align(), offsets))
}Creates a layout describing the record for n instances of
self, with no padding between each instance.
Note that, unlike repeat, repeat_packed does not guarantee
that the repeated instances of self will be properly
aligned, even if a given instance of self is properly
aligned. In other words, if the layout returned by
repeat_packed is used to allocate an array, it is not
guaranteed that all elements in the array will be properly
aligned.
On arithmetic overflow, returns LayoutError.
Creates a layout describing the record for self followed by
next with no additional padding between the two. Since no
padding is inserted, the alignment of next is irrelevant,
and is not incorporated at all into the resulting layout.
On arithmetic overflow, returns LayoutError.
Creates a layout describing the record for a [T; n].
On arithmetic overflow, returns LayoutError.
