`const-type-layout` is a type layout comparison aid, providing a `#[derive]`able `TypeLayout` trait
that reports:
- The type's name, size, and minimum alignment
- The type's structure, i.e. struct vs. union vs. enum
- Each field's name and offset
- Each variant's name and discriminant

Through the auto-implemented `TypeGraphLayout` trait, the deep type layout is also reported as a graph.

This crate heavily builds on the original runtime [type-layout](https://github.com/LPGhatguy/type-layout) crate by Lucien Greathouse.

## Examples

The layout of types is only defined if they're `#[repr(C)]`. This crate works on
non-`#[repr(C)]` types, but their layout is unpredictable.

```rust
use const_type_layout::TypeLayout;

#[derive(TypeLayout)]
#[repr(C)]
struct Foo {
    a: u8,
    b: u32,
}

assert_eq!(
    format!("{:#?}", Foo::TYPE_LAYOUT),
r#"TypeLayoutInfo {
    name: "mycrate::mymodule::Foo",
    size: 8,
    alignment: 4,
    structure: Struct {
        repr: "C",
        fields: [
            Field {
                name: "a",
                offset: Inhabited(
                    0,
                ),
                ty: "u8",
            },
            Field {
                name: "b",
                offset: Inhabited(
                    4,
                ),
                ty: "u32",
            },
        ],
    },
}"#
);
```

Over-aligned types have trailing padding, which can be a source of bugs in some
FFI scenarios:

```rust
use const_type_layout::TypeLayout;

#[derive(TypeLayout)]
#[repr(C, align(128))]
struct OverAligned {
    value: u8,
}

assert_eq!(
    format!("{:#?}", OverAligned::TYPE_LAYOUT),
r#"TypeLayoutInfo {
    name: "mycrate::mymodule::OverAligned",
    size: 128,
    alignment: 128,
    structure: Struct {
        repr: "C,align(128)",
        fields: [
            Field {
                name: "value",
                offset: Inhabited(
                    0,
                ),
                ty: "u8",
            },
        ],
    },
}"#
)
```
