# Data Representation in Rust
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Low-level programming cares a lot about data layout. It's a big deal. It also
|
|
|
|
|
pervasively influences the rest of the language, so we're going to start by
|
|
|
|
|
digging into how data is represented in Rust.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This chapter is ideally in agreement with, and rendered redundant by,
|
|
|
|
|
the [Type Layout section of the Reference][ref-type-layout]. When this
|
|
|
|
|
book was first written, the reference was in complete disrepair, and the
|
|
|
|
|
Rustonomicon was attempting to serve as a partial replacement for the reference.
|
|
|
|
|
This is no longer the case, so this whole chapter can ideally be deleted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We'll keep this chapter around for a bit longer, but ideally you should be
|
|
|
|
|
contributing any new facts or improvements to the Reference instead.
