Syntax
public sealed class DataLayoutRemarks
There is a distinction between various sizes and alignment for a given type that are target dependent.
The following table illustrates the differences in sizes and their meaning for a sample set of types.
| Type | SizeInBits | StoreSizeInBits | AbiSizeInBits |
|---|---|---|---|
| i1 | 1 | 8 | 8 |
| i8 | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| i19 | 19 | 24 | 32 |
| i32 | 32 | 32 | 32 |
| i10 | 100 | 104 | 128 |
| i128 | 128 | 128 | 128 |
| Float | 32 | 32 | 32 |
| Double | 64 | 64 | 64 |
| X86_FP80 | 80 | 80 | 96 |
note
The allocation size depends on the alignment, and thus on the target. The values in the example table are for x86-32-linux.
| Property | Definition |
|---|---|
| SizeInBits | Minimum number of bits needed to represent the full range of values for the type |
| StoreSizeInBits | Minimum number of bits needed to actually store a single value of the type |
| AbiSizeInBits | Total number of bits used to store a value in a sequence, including any alignment padding |
The allocation size determines the total size of each entry in a sequence so that the "next" element is computed by adding the size to the start address of the current element.
Properties
| Endianess | Gets the byte ordering for this target |
