stride(ofValue:)
Returns the number of bytes from the start of one instance of T
to the start of the next when stored in contiguous memory or in an Array<T>
.
static func stride(ofValue value: borrowing T) -> Int
Parameters
- value
A value representative of the type to describe.
Returns
The stride, in bytes, of the given value’s type.
This is the same as the number of bytes moved when an UnsafePointer<T>
instance is incremented. T
may have a lower minimal alignment that trades runtime performance for space efficiency. The result is always positive.
When you have a type instead of an instance, use the MemoryLayout<T>.stride
static property instead.
let x: Int = 100
// Finding the stride of a value's type
let s = MemoryLayout.stride(ofValue: x)
// s == 8
// Finding the stride of a type directly
let t = MemoryLayout<Int>.stride
// t == 8
