# 1.0.0[−][src]Function std::mem::align_of

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

Returns the ABI-required minimum alignment of a type.

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>());Run

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g. `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
