* All native linker implementations support a well-defined subset of layouts. More formally,
* a layout {@code L} is supported by a native linker {@code NL} if:
* A native linker only supports function descriptors whose argument/return layouts are
* <em>well-formed</em> layouts. More formally, a layout `L` is well-formed if:
* <ul>
* <li>{@code L} is a value layout {@code V} and {@code V.withoutName()} is a canonical layout</li>
* <li>{@code L} is a value layout and {@code L} is derived from a canonical layout
* {@code C} such that {@code L.byteAlignment() <= C.byteAlignment()}</li>
* <li>{@code L} is a sequence layout {@code S} and all the following conditions hold:
* <ol>
* <li>the alignment constraint of {@code S} is set to its
* <a href="MemoryLayout.html#layout-align">natural alignment</a>, and</li>
* <li>{@code S.elementLayout()} is a layout supported by {@code NL}.</li>
* <li>{@code L.byteAlignment()} is equal to the sequence layout's <em>natural alignment</em>
* , and</li>
* <li>{@code S.elementLayout()} is a well-formed layout.</li>
* </ol>
* </li>
* <li>{@code L} is a group layout {@code G} and all the following conditions hold:
* <ol>
* <li>the alignment constraint of {@code G} is set to its
* <a href="MemoryLayout.html#layout-align">natural alignment</a>;</li>
* <li>the size of {@code G} is a multiple of its alignment constraint;</li>
* <li>each member layout in {@code G.memberLayouts()} is either a padding layout or
* a layout supported by {@code NL}, and</li>
* <li>{@code G} does not contain padding other than what is strictly required to align
* its non-padding layout elements, or to satisfy (2).</li>
* <li>{@code G.byteAlignment()} is equal to the group layout's <em>natural alignment</em></li>
* <li>{@code G.byteSize()} is a multiple of {@code G.byteAlignment()}</li>
* <li>Each member layout in {@code G.memberLayouts()} is either a padding layout or a
* well-formed layout</li>
* <li>Each non-padding member layout {@code E} in {@code G.memberLayouts()} follows an
* optional padding member layout, whose size is the minimum size required to
* align {@code E}</li>
* <li>{@code G} contains an optional trailing padding member layout, whose size is the
* minimum size that satisfies (2)</li>
* </ol>
* </li>
* </ul>
*
* Linker implementations may optionally support additional layouts, such as
* <em>packed</em> struct layouts. A packed struct is a struct in which there is
* at least one member layout {@code L} that has an alignment constraint less strict
* than its natural alignment. This allows to avoid padding between member layouts,
* as well as avoiding padding at the end of the struct layout. For example:
* {@snippet lang = java:
* // No padding between the 2 element layouts:
* MemoryLayout noFieldPadding = MemoryLayout.structLayout(
* ValueLayout.JAVA_INT,
* ValueLayout.JAVA_DOUBLE.withByteAlignment(4));
*
* // No padding at the end of the struct:
* MemoryLayout noTrailingPadding = MemoryLayout.structLayout(
* ValueLayout.JAVA_DOUBLE.withByteAlignment(4),
* ValueLayout.JAVA_INT);
* }
* <p>
* A native linker only supports function descriptors whose argument/return layouts are
* layouts supported by that linker and are not sequence layouts.
* A function descriptor is well-formed if its argument and return layouts are
* well-formed and are not sequence layouts. A native linker is guaranteed to reject
* function descriptors that are not well-formed. However, a native linker can still
* reject well-formed function descriptors, according to platform-specific rules.
* For example, some native linkers may reject <em>packed</em> struct layouts -- struct
* layouts whose member layouts feature relaxed alignment constraints, to avoid
* the insertion of additional padding.
