Function get_alignment

Source 
pub fn get_alignment(val: &ValueRef) -> u32
Expand description

Obtain the preferred alignment of the value.

§Details

Retrieves the alignment of a global value in bytes.

This function wraps the LLVMGetAlignment function from the LLVM core library. It returns the alignment requirement of the global value represented by ValueRef, in terms of the number of bytes. Knowing the alignment can be useful for understanding how the global value is laid out in memory and ensuring that it meets the requirements of the target architecture.

§Returns

Returns a u32 representing the alignment of the global value in bytes.
