Static Methodswift 6.0.3Swift

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
