From 9e7bbfa182767f638ba61dba3518ff78da9f31ff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benno Lossin Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2024 17:41:19 +0200 Subject: rust: alloc: introduce `ArrayLayout` When allocating memory for arrays using allocators, the `Layout::array` function is typically used. It returns a result, since the given size might be too big. However, `Vec` and its iterators store their allocated capacity and thus they already did check that the size is not too big. The `ArrayLayout` type provides this exact behavior, as it can be infallibly converted into a `Layout`. Instead of a `usize` capacity, `Vec` and other similar array-storing types can use `ArrayLayout` instead.
