UnsafeRawPointer

extension UnsafeRawPointer

  • Returns a new instance of the given type, constructed from the raw memory at the specified offset. The type to be loaded must be a trivial type.

    The memory at this pointer plus offset does not need to be properly aligned for accessing T.
It must be initialized to T or another type that is layout compatible with T.
The returned instance is unassociated  with the value in the memory referenced by this pointer.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public func unalignedLoad<T>(fromByteOffset offset: Int = 0, as type: T.Type) -> T where T : FixedWidthInteger

    Parameters

    offset

    The offset from this pointer, in bytes. offset. The default is zero.
    type

    The type of the instance to create.

    Return Value
