| alignment | Non-negative integer or 'implicit'
A non-negative number that gives the alignment required for the beginning of the item. If alignment is required then the size of the AlignmentFill grammar region will be non-zero if the item must be aligned to a boundary. ‘implicit' specifies that the natural alignment for the representation type is used. See the table of implicit alignments Table 11 Implicit Alignment in bits If alignment is 'implicit' then alignmentUnits is ignored. Values are usually 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 to match memory word alignment boundaries, 4096 to match page alignment boundaries. However, any non-negative integer power of 2 is allowed.
