Description
This PR implements the
get_alignmentmethod in theBasicTypetrait by utilizing the underlyingType::get_alignmentimplementation.Previously,
get_alignmentwas only available on specific types (likeIntType,StructType) but not accessible via theBasicTypetrait orBasicTypeEnum. This change aligns the behavior withsize_of, allowing generic usage of alignment retrieval.Related Issue
N/A (This fixes a minor missing feature where
get_alignmentwas absent from theBasicTypetrait).How This Has Been Tested
I have verified the changes by running existing tests and adding a specific assertion to the
test_basic_type_enumtest case.cargo test --features "llvm20-1"(passed)tests/all/test_types.rsto ensureBasicTypeEnum::get_alignmentreturns the correct value matching the underlying type.Checklist
