Method BitSizeOf

BitSizeOf(ITypeRef)

Returns the number of bits necessary to hold the specified type.

Declaration

public ulong BitSizeOf(ITypeRef typeRef)

Parameters

ITypeRef

typeRef

Type to retrieve the size of

Returns

UInt64

Size of the type in bits

Remarks

This method determines the bit size of a type (e.g. the minimum number of bits required to represent any value of the given type.) This is distinct from the storage and stack size due to various target alignment requirements.
