pub type NonZeroUsize = NonZero<usize>;Expand description
A usize that is known not to equal zero.
This enables some memory layout optimization.
For example, Option<NonZeroUsize> is the same size as 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:
Aliased Type§
struct NonZeroUsize(/* private fields */);
