+# memoffset #
+
+[![](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/memoffset.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/memoffset)
+
+C-Like `offset_of` functionality for Rust structs.
+
+Introduces the following macros:
+ * `offset_of!` for obtaining the offset of a member of a struct.
+ * `offset_of_tuple!` for obtaining the offset of a member of a tuple. (Requires Rust 1.20+)
+ * `span_of!` for obtaining the range that a field, or fields, span.
+
+`memoffset` works under `no_std` environments.
+
+## Usage ##
+Add the following dependency to your `Cargo.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+memoffset = "0.6"
+```
+
+These versions will compile fine with rustc versions greater or equal to 1.19.
+
+## Examples ##
+```rust
+use memoffset::{offset_of, span_of};
+
+#[repr(C, packed)]
+struct Foo {
+ a: u32,
+ b: u32,
+ c: [u8; 5],
+ d: u32,
+}
+
+fn main() {
+ assert_eq!(offset_of!(Foo, b), 4);
+ assert_eq!(offset_of!(Foo, d), 4+4+5);
+
+ assert_eq!(span_of!(Foo, a), 0..4);
+ assert_eq!(span_of!(Foo, a .. c), 0..8);
+ assert_eq!(span_of!(Foo, a ..= c), 0..13);
+ assert_eq!(span_of!(Foo, ..= d), 0..17);
+ assert_eq!(span_of!(Foo, b ..), 4..17);
+}
+```
+
+## Feature flags ##
+
+### Usage in constants ###
+`memoffset` has **experimental** support for compile-time `offset_of!` on a nightly compiler.
+
+In order to use it, you must enable the `unstable_const` crate feature and several compiler features.
+
+Cargo.toml:
+```toml
+[dependencies.memoffset]
+version = "0.6"
+features = ["unstable_const"]
+```
+
+Your crate root: (`lib.rs`/`main.rs`)
+```rust,ignore
+#![feature(const_ptr_offset_from, const_refs_to_cell)]
+```
