The *size* of a value is the offset in bytes between successive elements in an array with that item type including alignment padding. The size of a value is always a multiple of its alignment. Note that some types are zero-sized; 0 is considered a multiple of any alignment (for example, on some platforms, the type `[u16; 0]` has size 0 and alignment 2). The size of a value can be checked with the [`size_of_val`] function.

r[layout.properties.sized]
Types where all values have the same size and alignment, and both are known at compile time, implement the [`Sized`] trait and can be checked with the [`size_of`] and [`align_of`] functions. Types that are not [`Sized`] are known as [dynamically sized types]. Since all values of a `Sized` type share the same size and alignment, we refer to those shared values as the size of the type and the alignment of the type respectively.

The size of a `Sized` type is guaranteed not to exceed `isize::MAX`.
