The alignment of the store operation.

####  <a id="typeparam-T"></a>T

## Parameters

## Remarks
When targeting SPIRV, this function maps to an <span class='code'>OpStore</span> instruction with the <span class='code'>Aligned</span> memory operand.
The functions maps to normal store operation on other targets.
