#[repr(C)]
pub struct AlignAs<B: ?Sized, T> { pub _align: [T; 0], pub bytes: B, }
Expand description

A hack to align a smaller type B with a bigger type T.

The usual use of this is with B = [u8] and T = u32. That is, it permits aligning a sequence of bytes on a 4-byte boundary. This is useful in contexts where one wants to embed a serialized dense DFA into a Rust a program while guaranteeing the alignment required for the DFA.

See dense::DFA::from_bytes for an example of how to use this type.

Fields§

§_align: [T; 0]

A zero-sized field indicating the alignment we want.

§bytes: B

A possibly non-sized field containing a sequence of bytes.
