Pointers to Vulkan functions</h1>
<p>There are multiple ways to import pointers to Vulkan functions in the library. In the simplest case you don't need to do anything. If the compilation or linking of your program or the initialization of the <a class="el" href="struct_vma_allocator.html" title="Represents main object of this library initialized.">VmaAllocator</a> doesn't work for you, you can try to reconfigure it.</p>
<p>First, the allocator tries to fetch pointers to Vulkan functions linked statically, like this:</p>

<p>Remember that using resources that alias in memory requires proper synchronization. You need to issue a memory barrier to make sure commands that use <code>img1</code> and <code>img2</code> don't overlap on GPU timeline. You also need to treat a resource after aliasing as uninitialized - containing garbage data. For example, if you use <code>img1</code> and then want to use <code>img2</code>, you need to issue an image memory barrier for <code>img2</code> with <code>oldLayout</code> = <code>VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED</code>.</p>

before each include of this file or change directly in this file to provide
your own implementation of basic facilities like assert, `min()` and `max()` functions,
mutex, atomic etc.
The library uses its own implementation of containers by default, but you can switch to using
STL containers instead.
For example, define `VMA_ASSERT(expr)` before including the library to provide
custom implementation of the assertion, compatible with your project.
By default it is defined to standard C `assert(expr)` in `_DEBUG` configuration
and empty otherwise.
Similarly, you can define `VMA_LEAK_LOG_FORMAT` macro to enable printing of leaked (unfreed) allocations,
including their names and other parameters. Example:
\code
#define VMA_LEAK_LOG_FORMAT(format, ...) do { \
printf((format), __VA_ARGS__); \
printf("\n"); \
} while(false)
