4
5 C-Like `offset_of` functionality for Rust structs.
6
7 Introduces the following macros:
8 * `offset_of!` for obtaining the offset of a member of a struct.
9 * `offset_of_tuple!` for obtaining the offset of a member of a tuple. (Requires Rust 1.20+)
10 * `span_of!` for obtaining the range that a field, or fields, span.
11
12 `memoffset` works under `no_std` environments.
13
14 ## Usage ##
15 Add the following dependency to your `Cargo.toml`:
16
17 ```toml
18 [dependencies]
19 memoffset = "0.6"
20 ```
21
22 These versions will compile fine with rustc versions greater or equal to 1.19.
23
24 ## Examples ##
25 ```rust
26 use memoffset::{offset_of, span_of};
27
28 #[repr(C, packed)]
29 struct Foo {
30 a: u32,
31 b: u32,
32 c: [u8; 5],
33 d: u32,
34 }
35
36 fn main() {
37 assert_eq!(offset_of!(Foo, b), 4);
38 assert_eq!(offset_of!(Foo, d), 4+4+5);
39
40 assert_eq!(span_of!(Foo, a), 0..4);
41 assert_eq!(span_of!(Foo, a .. c), 0..8);
42 assert_eq!(span_of!(Foo, a ..= c), 0..13);
43 assert_eq!(span_of!(Foo, ..= d), 0..17);
44 assert_eq!(span_of!(Foo, b ..), 4..17);
45 }
46 ```

48 ## Feature flags ##
49
50 ### Usage in constants ###
51 `memoffset` has **experimental** support for compile-time `offset_of!` on a nightly compiler.
52
53 In order to use it, you must enable the `unstable_const` crate feature and several compiler features.
54
55 Cargo.toml:
56 ```toml
57 [dependencies.memoffset]
58 version = "0.6"
59 features = ["unstable_const"]
60 ```
61
62 Your crate root: (`lib.rs`/`main.rs`)
63 ```rust,ignore
64 #![feature(const_ptr_offset_from, const_refs_to_cell)]
65 ```
