Align Data

Simply increase the alignment of any statics or include_bytes!.

Examples

When including raw data through include_bytes! it is often used to directly interpret as structured data however it does not align the included bytes according to the structured data's alignment.

This crate fixes this oversight:

use align_data::{include_aligned, Align4K};

static ALIGNED: &[u8] = include_aligned!(Align4K, "lib.rs");
assert_eq!(ALIGNED.as_ptr() as usize % 0x1000, 0);

The value of any constant expression can be forced to the given alignment:

use align_data::{aligned, Align16};

let five = aligned!(Align16, i32, 5);
assert_eq!(five as *const _ as usize % 0x10, 0);
