Interface PaddingLayout

All Superinterfaces:

MemoryLayout

public sealed interface PaddingLayout
extends MemoryLayout

A padding layout. A padding layout specifies the size of extra space which is typically not accessed by applications, and is typically used for aligning member layouts around word boundaries.

Implementation Requirements:

Implementing classes are immutable, thread-safe and value-based.
