rucc_types/
layout.rs

1//! How large a type is and what it has to be aligned to, computed from the target description.
2//!
3//! Design: `spec/07-types-and-semantics.md` section 7.1 and `spec/18-package-layout.md`
4//! section 18.2, which is the rule that none of this may be a `#[cfg]`.
5//!
6//! Every number here comes out of [`TargetInfo`] rather than out of the host. That is not
7//! pedantry: `long` is four bytes on Windows and eight on Linux, `long double` is eight bytes
8//! on Apple and sixteen on SysV x86-64, and a cross compiler that asks its own platform gets
9//! both of them wrong. The widths were checked against GCC 13 on x86-64 Linux and against
10//! clang on AArch64 Darwin rather than recalled.
11//!
12//! [`integer_info`] is here for the same reason and answers a neighbouring question: not how
13//! large the object is but how wide the value in it is, which is not the same number for `bool`
14//! or for a `_BitInt` and is what folding a constant depends on.
15//!
16//! Records are the one thing not computed here. Their layout depends on their members, on
17//! bit-field packing and on attributes, so it is computed by whoever walks the members and
18//! recorded with [`Types::complete_record`](crate::Types::complete_record); this module reads
19//! it back.

398/// it, so the size is the byte count rounded up to a power of two and the alignment is the
399/// size. Above that the psABIs treat it as an array of a granule instead, and the granule is
400/// not the same everywhere: it is 64 bits on x86-64 and RISC-V and 128 on AArch64, which is
401/// why `_BitInt(65)` is sixteen bytes aligned to eight on the first and sixteen bytes aligned
402/// to sixteen on the second. Measured with clang 18 on x86-64 Linux and clang on AArch64
403/// Darwin, including the cases above 128 bits where the size keeps growing by a granule.

420/// a sixteen byte structure is aligned to eight and `_Atomic` of it is aligned to sixteen, and
421/// a type system that treated the two as one type would silently disagree with itself about
