Typedef Documentation

PFN_vmaAllocateDeviceMemoryFunction

typedef void(VKAPI_PTR * PFN_vmaAllocateDeviceMemoryFunction) (VmaAllocator allocator, uint32_t memoryType, VkDeviceMemory memory, VkDeviceSize size)

Callback function called after successful vkAllocateMemory.

PFN_vmaFreeDeviceMemoryFunction

typedef void(VKAPI_PTR * PFN_vmaFreeDeviceMemoryFunction) (VmaAllocator allocator, uint32_t memoryType, VkDeviceMemory memory, VkDeviceSize size)

Callback function called before vkFreeMemory.

VmaAllocatorCreateInfo

typedef struct VmaAllocatorCreateInfo VmaAllocatorCreateInfo

Description of a Allocator to be created.

VmaAllocatorFlagBits

typedef enum VmaAllocatorFlagBits VmaAllocatorFlagBits

Flags for created VmaAllocator.

VmaAllocatorFlags

typedef VkFlags VmaAllocatorFlags

VmaDeviceMemoryCallbacks

typedef struct VmaDeviceMemoryCallbacks VmaDeviceMemoryCallbacks

Set of callbacks that the library will call for vkAllocateMemory and vkFreeMemory.

Provided for informative purpose, e.g. to gather statistics about number of allocations or total amount of memory allocated in Vulkan.

VmaStatInfo

typedef struct VmaStatInfo VmaStatInfo

Enumeration Type Documentation

VmaAllocatorFlagBits

enum VmaAllocatorFlagBits

Flags for created VmaAllocator.

Enumerator
VMA_ALLOCATOR_EXTERNALLY_SYNCHRONIZED_BIT	Allocator and all objects created from it will not be synchronized internally, so you must guarantee they are used from only one thread at a time or synchronized externally by you. Using this flag may increase performance because internal mutexes are not used.
VMA_ALLOCATOR_FLAG_BITS_MAX_ENUM

Function Documentation

vmaBuildStatsString()

void vmaBuildStatsString	(	VmaAllocator	allocator,
		char **	ppStatsString,
		VkBool32	detailedMap
	)

Builds and returns statistics as string in JSON format.

Parameters

[out]

ppStatsString

Must be freed using vmaFreeStatsString() function.

vmaCalculateStats()

void vmaCalculateStats	(	VmaAllocator	allocator,
		VmaStats *	pStats
	)

Retrieves statistics from current state of the Allocator.

vmaCreateAllocator()

VkResult vmaCreateAllocator	(	const VmaAllocatorCreateInfo *	pCreateInfo,
		VmaAllocator *	pAllocator
	)

Creates Allocator object.

vmaDestroyAllocator()

void vmaDestroyAllocator

(

VmaAllocator

allocator

)

Destroys allocator object.

vmaFreeStatsString()

void vmaFreeStatsString	(	VmaAllocator	allocator,
		char *	pStatsString
	)

vmaGetMemoryProperties()

void vmaGetMemoryProperties	(	VmaAllocator	allocator,
		const VkPhysicalDeviceMemoryProperties **	ppPhysicalDeviceMemoryProperties
	)

PhysicalDeviceMemoryProperties are fetched from physicalDevice by the allocator. You can access it here, without fetching it again on your own.

vmaGetMemoryTypeProperties()

void vmaGetMemoryTypeProperties	(	VmaAllocator	allocator,
		uint32_t	memoryTypeIndex,
		VkMemoryPropertyFlags *	pFlags
	)

Given Memory Type Index, returns Property Flags of this memory type.

This is just a convenience function. Same information can be obtained using vmaGetMemoryProperties().

vmaGetPhysicalDeviceProperties()

void vmaGetPhysicalDeviceProperties	(	VmaAllocator	allocator,
		const VkPhysicalDeviceProperties **	ppPhysicalDeviceProperties
	)

PhysicalDeviceProperties are fetched from physicalDevice by the allocator. You can access it here, without fetching it again on your own.
