Vl-datatype-size

Computes the number of bits in the datatype.

Signature

(vl-datatype-size x) → (mv err size)

Arguments

x — The datatype to size.
    Guard (vl-datatype-p x).

Returns

err — Type (iff (vl-msg-p err) err).

size — Type (maybe-natp size).

This works for unpacked datatypes as well as packed ones; you should check separately that the datatype is packed if that is what you want. Returns nil without error if given a datatype that has no fixed bit size, e.g. if it contains a real number or has unsized dimensions. We produce an error message if a usertype is not found, if the recursion limit runs out, or if unresolved dimensions are present.
