SizeOfType

The size in bytes of a type.

Declaration

Syntax

SizeOfType(ttype arg, ttype type, expr? value)

Arguments

Argument

Description

arg

the type being measured.

type

the type of the expression.

value

the compile time value of the expression, when the frontend could fold it; nil otherwise.

Return values

The value of the expression.

Description

c_sizeof(x), and the size an allocation needs. The operand is a type, not an expression, because nothing is read: the answer depends only on the type.

Examples

(SizeOfType
  :arg (Integer
    :kind 4
  )
  :type (Integer
    :kind 8
  )
  :value nil
)
