How do I resolve "Inout expression creates a temporary pointer" issue in Swift 5.2?

Question

How do i resolve this issue when i calling CTParagraphStyleSetting function in swift 5.2?

function myFunction() {
    var alignment: CTTextAlignment = .left
    var settings = CTParagraphStyleSetting(spec: .alignment, 
                                           valueSize: 1, 
                                           value: &alignment)
}

issue:
Inout expression creates a temporary pointer, but argument 'value' should 
be a pointer that outlives the call to 'init(spec:valueSize:value:)'

you can write it like this:

let alignment: CTTextAlignment = .left
let settings: CTParagraphStyleSetting = withUnsafeBytes(of: alignment) { alignment in
    CTParagraphStyleSetting(
        spec: .alignment, 
        valueSize: 1, 
        value: alignment.baseAddress!
    )
}
