Type Alias std::num::NonZeroUsize
1.28.0 · source · pub type NonZeroUsize = NonZero<usize>;Expand description
An integer that is known not to equal zero.
This enables some memory layout optimization.
For example, Option<NonZeroUsize> is the same size as usize:
use std::mem::size_of;
assert_eq!(size_of::<Option<core::num::NonZeroUsize>>(), size_of::<usize>());§Layout
NonZeroUsize is guaranteed to have the same layout and bit validity as usize
with the exception that 0 is not a valid instance.
Option<NonZeroUsize> is guaranteed to be compatible with usize,
including in FFI.
Thanks to the null pointer optimization,
NonZeroUsize and Option<NonZeroUsize>
are guaranteed to have the same size and alignment:
