/// @code
/// // Default alignment (16)
/// IntegerLiteral *Ex = new (Context) IntegerLiteral(arguments);
/// // Specific alignment
/// IntegerLiteral *Ex2 = new (Context, 8) IntegerLiteral(arguments);
/// @endcode

/// deallocated using an explicit destructor call followed by
/// @c Context.Deallocate(Ptr).
///
/// @param Bytes The number of bytes to allocate. Calculated by the compiler.
/// @param C The ASTContext that provides the allocator.
/// @param Alignment The alignment of the allocated memory (if the underlying
