withByteAlignment

UnionLayout withByteAlignment(long byteAlignment)

Returns a memory layout with the same characteristics as this layout, but with the given alignment constraint (in bytes).

Specified by:

withByteAlignment in interface GroupLayout

Specified by:

withByteAlignment in interface MemoryLayout

Parameters:

byteAlignment - the layout alignment constraint, expressed in bytes

Returns:

a memory layout with the same characteristics as this layout, but with the given alignment constraint (in bytes)
