    end

layout(*spec) click to toggle source

@return [StructLayout] @overload layout

    @return [StructLayout]
    Get struct layout.

@overload layout(*spec)

    @param [Array<Symbol, Integer>,Array(Hash)] spec
    @return [StructLayout]
    Create struct layout from +spec+.
    @example Creating a layout from an array +spec+
      class MyStruct < Struct
        layout :field1, :int,
               :field2, :pointer,
               :field3, :string
      end
    @example Creating a layout from an array +spec+ with offset
      class MyStructWithOffset < Struct
        layout :field1, :int,
               :field2, :pointer, 6,  # set offset to 6 for this field
               :field3, :string
      end
    @example Creating a layout from a hash +spec+ (Ruby 1.9 only)
      class MyStructFromHash < Struct
        layout :field1 => :int,
               :field2 => :pointer,
               :field3 => :string
      end
    @example Creating a layout with pointers to functions
      class MyFunctionTable < Struct
        layout :function1, callback([:int, :int], :int),
               :function2, callback([:pointer], :void),
               :field3, :string
      end
    @note Creating a layout from a hash +spec+ is supported only for Ruby 1.9.

      else
        array_layout(builder, spec)
