| Enumerator | |
|---|---|
| VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_DEDICATED_MEMORY_BIT | Set this flag if the allocation should have its own memory block. Use it for special, big resources, like fullscreen images used as attachments. You should not use this flag if VmaAllocationCreateInfo::pool is not null. |
| VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_NEVER_ALLOCATE_BIT | Set this flag to only try to allocate from existing If new allocation cannot be placed in any of the existing blocks, allocation fails with You should not use VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_DEDICATED_MEMORY_BIT and VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_NEVER_ALLOCATE_BIT at the same time. It makes no sense. If VmaAllocationCreateInfo::pool is not null, this flag is implied and ignored. |
| VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_MAPPED_BIT | Set this flag to use a memory that will be persistently mapped and retrieve pointer to it. Pointer to mapped memory will be returned through VmaAllocationInfo::pMappedData. It is valid to use this flag for allocation made from memory type that is not You should not use this flag together with VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_CAN_BECOME_LOST_BIT. |
| VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_CAN_BECOME_LOST_BIT | Allocation created with this flag can become lost as a result of another allocation with VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_CAN_MAKE_OTHER_LOST_BIT flag, so you must check it before use. To check if allocation is not lost, call vmaGetAllocationInfo() and check if VmaAllocationInfo::deviceMemory is not For details about supporting lost allocations, see Lost Allocations chapter of User Guide on Main Page. You should not use this flag together with VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_MAPPED_BIT. |
| VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_CAN_MAKE_OTHER_LOST_BIT | While creating allocation using this flag, other allocations that were created with flag VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_CAN_BECOME_LOST_BIT can become lost. For details about supporting lost allocations, see Lost Allocations chapter of User Guide on Main Page. |
| VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_USER_DATA_COPY_STRING_BIT | Set this flag to treat VmaAllocationCreateInfo::pUserData as pointer to a null-terminated string. Instead of copying pointer value, a local copy of the string is made and stored in allocation's |
| VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_UPPER_ADDRESS_BIT | Allocation will be created from upper stack in a double stack pool. This flag is only allowed for custom pools created with VMA_POOL_CREATE_LINEAR_ALGORITHM_BIT flag. |
| VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_DONT_BIND_BIT | Create both buffer/image and allocation, but don't bind them together. It is useful when you want to bind yourself to do some more advanced binding, e.g. using some extensions. The flag is meaningful only with functions that bind by default: vmaCreateBuffer(), vmaCreateImage(). Otherwise it is ignored. |
| VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_WITHIN_BUDGET_BIT | Create allocation only if additional device memory required for it, if any, won't exceed memory budget. Otherwise return |
| VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_STRATEGY_BEST_FIT_BIT | Allocation strategy that chooses smallest possible free range for the allocation. |
| VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_STRATEGY_WORST_FIT_BIT | Allocation strategy that chooses biggest possible free range for the allocation. |
| VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_STRATEGY_FIRST_FIT_BIT | Allocation strategy that chooses first suitable free range for the allocation. "First" doesn't necessarily means the one with smallest offset in memory, but rather the one that is easiest and fastest to find. |
| VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_STRATEGY_MIN_MEMORY_BIT | Allocation strategy that tries to minimize memory usage. |
| VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_STRATEGY_MIN_TIME_BIT | Allocation strategy that tries to minimize allocation time. |
| VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_STRATEGY_MIN_FRAGMENTATION_BIT | Allocation strategy that tries to minimize memory fragmentation. |
| VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_STRATEGY_MASK | A bit mask to extract only |
| VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_FLAG_BITS_MAX_ENUM | |
Flags for created VmaAllocator.
| Enumerator | |
|---|---|
| VMA_ALLOCATOR_CREATE_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_CREATE_KHR_DEDICATED_ALLOCATION_BIT | Enables usage of VK_KHR_dedicated_allocation extension. The flag works only if VmaAllocatorCreateInfo::vulkanApiVersion Using this extension will automatically allocate dedicated blocks of memory for some buffers and images instead of suballocating place for them out of bigger memory blocks (as if you explicitly used VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_DEDICATED_MEMORY_BIT flag) when it is recommended by the driver. It may improve performance on some GPUs. You may set this flag only if you found out that following device extensions are supported, you enabled them while creating Vulkan device passed as VmaAllocatorCreateInfo::device, and you want them to be used internally by this library:
When this flag is set, you can experience following warnings reported by Vulkan validation layer. You can ignore them.
|
| VMA_ALLOCATOR_CREATE_KHR_BIND_MEMORY2_BIT | Enables usage of VK_KHR_bind_memory2 extension. The flag works only if VmaAllocatorCreateInfo::vulkanApiVersion You may set this flag only if you found out that this device extension is supported, you enabled it while creating Vulkan device passed as VmaAllocatorCreateInfo::device, and you want it to be used internally by this library. The extension provides functions |
| VMA_ALLOCATOR_CREATE_EXT_MEMORY_BUDGET_BIT | Enables usage of VK_EXT_memory_budget extension. You may set this flag only if you found out that this device extension is supported, you enabled it while creating Vulkan device passed as VmaAllocatorCreateInfo::device, and you want it to be used internally by this library, along with another instance extension VK_KHR_get_physical_device_properties2, which is required by it (or Vulkan 1.1, where this extension is promoted). The extension provides query for current memory usage and budget, which will probably be more accurate than an estimation used by the library otherwise. |
| VMA_ALLOCATOR_CREATE_AMD_DEVICE_COHERENT_MEMORY_BIT | Enables usage of VK_AMD_device_coherent_memory extension. You may set this flag only if you:
The extension and accompanying device feature provide access to memory types with When the extension is not enabled, such memory types are still enumerated, but their usage is illegal. To protect from this error, if you don't create the allocator with this flag, it will refuse to allocate any memory or create a custom pool in such memory type, returning |
| VMA_ALLOCATOR_CREATE_BUFFER_DEVICE_ADDRESS_BIT | Enables usage of "buffer device address" feature, which allows you to use function You may set this flag only if you:
When this flag is set, you can create buffers with For more information, see documentation chapter Enabling buffer device address. |
| VMA_ALLOCATOR_CREATE_EXT_MEMORY_PRIORITY_BIT | Enables usage of VK_EXT_memory_priority extension in the library. You may set this flag only if you found available and enabled this device extension, along with When this flag is used, VmaAllocationCreateInfo::priority and VmaPoolCreateInfo::priority are used to set priorities of allocated Vulkan memory. Without it, these variables are ignored. A priority must be a floating-point value between 0 and 1, indicating the priority of the allocation relative to other memory allocations. Larger values are higher priority. The granularity of the priorities is implementation-dependent. It is automatically passed to every call to |
| VMA_ALLOCATOR_CREATE_FLAG_BITS_MAX_ENUM | |
Flags to be used in vmaDefragmentationBegin(). None at the moment. Reserved for future use.

Flags to be passed as VmaPoolCreateInfo::flags.
| Enumerator | |
|---|---|
| VMA_POOL_CREATE_IGNORE_BUFFER_IMAGE_GRANULARITY_BIT | Use this flag if you always allocate only buffers and linear images or only optimal images out of this pool and so Buffer-Image Granularity can be ignored. This is an optional optimization flag. If you always allocate using vmaCreateBuffer(), vmaCreateImage(), vmaAllocateMemoryForBuffer(), then you don't need to use it because allocator knows exact type of your allocations so it can handle Buffer-Image Granularity in the optimal way. If you also allocate using vmaAllocateMemoryForImage() or vmaAllocateMemory(), exact type of such allocations is not known, so allocator must be conservative in handling Buffer-Image Granularity, which can lead to suboptimal allocation (wasted memory). In that case, if you can make sure you always allocate only buffers and linear images or only optimal images out of this pool, use this flag to make allocator disregard Buffer-Image Granularity and so make allocations faster and more optimal. |
| VMA_POOL_CREATE_LINEAR_ALGORITHM_BIT | Enables alternative, linear allocation algorithm in this pool. Specify this flag to enable linear allocation algorithm, which always creates new allocations after last one and doesn't reuse space from allocations freed in between. It trades memory consumption for simplified algorithm and data structure, which has better performance and uses less memory for metadata. By using this flag, you can achieve behavior of free-at-once, stack, ring buffer, and double stack. For details, see documentation chapter Linear allocation algorithm. When using this flag, you must specify VmaPoolCreateInfo::maxBlockCount == 1 (or 0 for default). |
| VMA_POOL_CREATE_BUDDY_ALGORITHM_BIT | Enables alternative, buddy allocation algorithm in this pool. It operates on a tree of blocks, each having size that is a power of two and a half of its parent's size. Comparing to default algorithm, this one provides faster allocation and deallocation and decreased external fragmentation, at the expense of more memory wasted (internal fragmentation).

You should free the memory using vmaFreeMemory() or vmaFreeMemoryPages().
Word "pages" is just a suggestion to use this function to allocate pieces of memory needed for sparse binding. It is just a general purpose allocation function able to make multiple allocations at once. It may be internally optimized to be more efficient than calling vmaAllocateMemory() allocationCount times.
All allocations are made using same parameters. All of them are created out of the same memory pool and type. If any allocation fails, all allocations already made within this function call are also freed, so that when returned result is not VK_SUCCESS, pAllocation array is always entirely filled with VK_NULL_HANDLE.

| VkResult vmaBindBufferMemory | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |
| VmaAllocation | allocation, | ||
| VkBuffer | buffer | ||

Binds buffer to allocation.
Binds specified buffer to region of memory represented by specified allocation. Gets VkDeviceMemory handle and offset from the allocation. If you want to create a buffer, allocate memory for it and bind them together separately, you should use this function for binding instead of standard vkBindBufferMemory(), because it ensures proper synchronization so that when a VkDeviceMemory object is used by multiple allocations, calls to vkBind*Memory() or vkMapMemory() won't happen from multiple threads simultaneously (which is illegal in Vulkan).
It is recommended to use function vmaCreateBuffer() instead of this one.

| buffer | |
| pNext | A chain of structures to be attached to VkBindBufferMemoryInfoKHR structure used internally. Normally it should be null. |
This function is similar to vmaBindBufferMemory(), but it provides additional parameters.
If pNext is not null, VmaAllocator object must have been created with VMA_ALLOCATOR_CREATE_KHR_BIND_MEMORY2_BIT flag or with VmaAllocatorCreateInfo::vulkanApiVersion >= VK_API_VERSION_1_1. Otherwise the call fails.
| VkResult vmaBindImageMemory | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |
| VmaAllocation | allocation, | ||
| VkImage | image | ||
| ) |
Binds image to allocation.
Binds specified image to region of memory represented by specified allocation. Gets VkDeviceMemory handle and offset from the allocation. If you want to create an image, allocate memory for it and bind them together separately, you should use this function for binding instead of standard vkBindImageMemory(), because it ensures proper synchronization so that when a VkDeviceMemory object is used by multiple allocations, calls to vkBind*Memory() or vkMapMemory() won't happen from multiple threads simultaneously (which is illegal in Vulkan).
It is recommended to use function vmaCreateImage() instead of this one.

| pNext | A chain of structures to be attached to VkBindImageMemoryInfoKHR structure used internally. Normally it should be null. |
This function is similar to vmaBindImageMemory(), but it provides additional parameters.

| virtualBlock | Virtual block. | |
| [out] | ppStatsString | Returned string. |
| detailedMap | Pass VK_FALSE to also list statistics as returned by vmaCalculateVirtualBlockStats(). Pass VK_TRUE to also obtain full list of allocations and free spaces. |
Returned string must be freed using vmaFreeVirtualBlockStatsString().
| void vmaCalculateStats | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |
| VmaStats * | pStats | ||
| ) |
Retrieves statistics from current state of the Allocator.
This function is called "calculate" not "get" because it has to traverse all internal data structures, so it may be quite slow. For faster but more brief statistics suitable to be called every frame or every allocation, use vmaGetBudget().
Note that when using allocator from multiple threads, returned information may immediately become outdated.
| void vmaCalculateVirtualBlockStats | ( | VmaVirtualBlock | virtualBlock, |
| VmaStatInfo * | pStatInfo | ||
| ) |
Calculates and returns statistics about virtual allocations and memory usage in given VmaVirtualBlock.
| VkResult vmaCheckCorruption | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |

Checks magic number in margins around all allocations in given memory types (in both default and custom pools) in search for corruptions.
| allocator | |
| memoryTypeBits | Bit mask, where each bit set means that a memory type with that index should be checked. |
Corruption detection is enabled only when VMA_DEBUG_DETECT_CORRUPTION macro is defined to nonzero, VMA_DEBUG_MARGIN is defined to nonzero and only for memory types that are HOST_VISIBLE and HOST_COHERENT. For more information, see Corruption detection.
Possible return values:
VK_ERROR_FEATURE_NOT_PRESENT - corruption detection is not enabled for any of specified memory types.VK_SUCCESS - corruption detection has been performed and succeeded.VK_ERROR_UNKNOWN - corruption detection has been performed and found memory corruptions around one of the allocations. VMA_ASSERT is also fired in that case.| VkResult vmaCheckPoolCorruption | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |

Checks magic number in margins around all allocations in given memory pool in search for corruptions.
Corruption detection is enabled only when VMA_DEBUG_DETECT_CORRUPTION macro is defined to nonzero, VMA_DEBUG_MARGIN is defined to nonzero and the pool is created in memory type that is HOST_VISIBLE and HOST_COHERENT. For more information, see Corruption detection.
Possible return values:
VK_ERROR_FEATURE_NOT_PRESENT - corruption detection is not enabled for specified pool.VK_SUCCESS - corruption detection has been performed and succeeded.VK_ERROR_UNKNOWN - corruption detection has been performed and found memory corruptions around one of the allocations. VMA_ASSERT is also fired in that case.| void vmaClearVirtualBlock | ( | VmaVirtualBlock | virtualBlock | ) |
Frees all virtual allocations inside given VmaVirtualBlock.
You must either call this function or free each virtual allocation individually with vmaVirtualFree() before destroying a virtual block. Otherwise, an assert is called.
If you keep pointer to some additional metadata associated with your virtual allocation in its pUserData, don't forget to free it as well.
| VkResult vmaCreateAllocator | ( | const VmaAllocatorCreateInfo * | pCreateInfo, |

| [out] | pBuffer | Buffer that was created. |
| [out] | pAllocation | Allocation that was created. |
| [out] | pAllocationInfo | Optional. Information about allocated memory. It can be later fetched using function vmaGetAllocationInfo(). |
This function automatically:
If any of these operations fail, buffer and allocation are not created, returned value is negative error code, *pBuffer and *pAllocation are null.
If the function succeeded, you must destroy both buffer and allocation when you no longer need them using either convenience function vmaDestroyBuffer() or separately, using vkDestroyBuffer() and vmaFreeMemory().
If VMA_ALLOCATOR_CREATE_KHR_DEDICATED_ALLOCATION_BIT flag was used, VK_KHR_dedicated_allocation extension is used internally to query driver whether it requires or prefers the new buffer to have dedicated allocation. If yes, and if dedicated allocation is possible (VmaAllocationCreateInfo::pool is null and VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_NEVER_ALLOCATE_BIT is not used), it creates dedicated allocation for this buffer, just like when using VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_DEDICATED_MEMORY_BIT.
VkBuffer. Sub-allocation of parts of one large buffer, although recommended as a good practice, is out of scope of this library and could be implemented by the user as a higher-level logic on top of VMA. | VkResult vmaCreateBufferWithAlignment | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |

| VkBuffer * | pBuffer, | ||
| VmaAllocation * | pAllocation, | ||
| VmaAllocationInfo * | pAllocationInfo | ||
| ) |
Creates a buffer with additional minimum alignment.
Similar to vmaCreateBuffer() but provides additional parameter minAlignment which allows to specify custom, minimum alignment to be used when placing the buffer inside a larger memory block, which may be needed e.g. for interop with OpenGL.
| VkResult vmaCreateImage | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |

Function similar to vmaCreateBuffer().
| void vmaCreateLostAllocation | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |
| VmaAllocation * | pAllocation | ||
| ) |
Creates new allocation that is in lost state from the beginning.
It can be useful if you need a dummy, non-null allocation.
You still need to destroy created object using vmaFreeMemory().
Returned allocation is not tied to any specific memory pool or memory type and not bound to any image or buffer. It has size = 0. It cannot be turned into a real, non-empty allocation.
| VkResult vmaCreatePool | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |

| pDefragmentationInfo | Configuration parameters. Optional - pass null to use default values. | |
| [out] | pDefragmentationStats | Statistics returned by the function. Optional - pass null if you don't need this information. |
VK_SUCCESS if completed, negative error code in case of error.This function works by moving allocations to different places (different VkDeviceMemory objects and/or different offsets) in order to optimize memory usage. Only allocations that are in pAllocations array can be moved. All other allocations are considered nonmovable in this call. Basic rules:
VK_MEMORY_PROPERTY_HOST_VISIBLE_BIT and VK_MEMORY_PROPERTY_HOST_COHERENT_BIT flags can be compacted. You may pass other allocations but it makes no sense - these will never be moved.pAllocations array.The function also frees empty VkDeviceMemory blocks.
Warning: This function may be time-consuming, so you shouldn't call it too often (like after every resource creation/destruction). You can call it on special occasions (like when reloading a game level or when you just destroyed a lot of objects). Calling it every frame may be OK, but you should measure that on your platform.

| [out] | pStats | Optional. Statistics of defragmentation. You can pass null if you are not interested in this information. |
| [out] | pContext | Context object that must be passed to vmaDefragmentationEnd() to finish defragmentation. |
VK_SUCCESS and *pContext == null if defragmentation finished within this function call. VK_NOT_READY and *pContext != null if defragmentation has been started and you need to call vmaDefragmentationEnd() to finish it. Negative value in case of error.Use this function instead of old, deprecated vmaDefragment().
Warning! Between the call to vmaDefragmentationBegin() and vmaDefragmentationEnd():
pInfo->pAllocations or any allocations that belong to pools passed as pInfo->pPools, including calling vmaGetAllocationInfo(), vmaTouchAllocation(), or access their data.pStats and pInfo->pAllocationsChanged are undefined. They become valid after call to vmaDefragmentationEnd().pInfo->commandBuffer is not null, you must submit that command buffer and make sure it finished execution before calling vmaDefragmentationEnd().For more information and important limitations regarding defragmentation, see documentation chapter: Defragmentation.

Destroys VmaPool object and frees Vulkan device memory.
| void vmaDestroyVirtualBlock | ( | VmaVirtualBlock | virtualBlock | ) |
Destroys VmaVirtualBlock object.
Please note that you should consciously handle virtual allocations that could remain unfreed in the block. You should either free them individually using vmaVirtualFree() or call vmaClearVirtualBlock() if you are sure this is what you want. If you do neither, an assert is called.
If you keep pointers to some additional metadata associated with your virtual allocations in their pUserData, don't forget to free them.

Frees memory and destroys multiple allocations.
Word "pages" is just a suggestion to use this function to free pieces of memory used for sparse binding. It is just a general purpose function to free memory and destroy allocations made using e.g. vmaAllocateMemory(), vmaAllocateMemoryPages() and other functions. It may be internally optimized to be more efficient than calling vmaFreeMemory() allocationCount times.
Allocations in pAllocations array can come from any memory pools and types. Passing VK_NULL_HANDLE as elements of pAllocations array is valid. Such entries are just skipped.

Returns current information about specified allocation and atomically marks it as used in current frame.
Current paramteres of given allocation are returned in pAllocationInfo.
This function also atomically "touches" allocation - marks it as used in current frame, just like vmaTouchAllocation(). If the allocation is in lost state, pAllocationInfo->deviceMemory == VK_NULL_HANDLE.
Although this function uses atomics and doesn't lock any mutex, so it should be quite efficient, you can avoid calling it too often.

| VmaAllocatorInfo * | pAllocatorInfo | ||
| ) |
Returns information about existing VmaAllocator object - handle to Vulkan device etc.
It might be useful if you want to keep just the VmaAllocator handle and fetch other required handles to VkPhysicalDevice, VkDevice etc. every time using this function.
| void vmaGetBudget | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |
| VmaBudget * | pBudget | ||
| ) |
Retrieves information about current memory budget for all memory heaps.
| allocator | ||
| [out] | pBudget | Must point to array with number of elements at least equal to number of memory heaps in physical device used. |
This function is called "get" not "calculate" because it is very fast, suitable to be called every frame or every allocation. For more detailed statistics use vmaCalculateStats().
Note that when using allocator from multiple threads, returned information may immediately become outdated.
| 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.
| 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().
| 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.
| void vmaGetPoolName | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |
| VmaPool | pool, | ||
| const char ** | ppName | ||
| ) |
Retrieves name of a custom pool.
After the call ppName is either null or points to an internally-owned null-terminated string containing name of the pool that was previously set. The pointer becomes invalid when the pool is destroyed or its name is changed using vmaSetPoolName().
| void vmaGetPoolStats | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |
| VmaPool | pool, | ||
| VmaPoolStats * | pPoolStats | ||
| ) |
Retrieves statistics of existing VmaPool object.
| allocator | Allocator object. | |
| pool | Pool object. | |
| [out] | pPoolStats | Statistics of specified pool. |
| void vmaGetVirtualAllocationInfo | ( | VmaVirtualBlock | virtualBlock, |
| VkDeviceSize | offset, | ||
| VmaVirtualAllocationInfo * | pVirtualAllocInfo | ||
| ) |
Returns information about a specific virtual allocation within a virtual block, like its size and pUserData pointer.
| VkResult vmaInvalidateAllocation | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |
| VmaAllocation | allocation, | ||
| VkDeviceSize | offset, | ||
| VkDeviceSize | size | ||
| ) |
Invalidates memory of given allocation.
Calls vkInvalidateMappedMemoryRanges() for memory associated with given range of given allocation. It needs to be called before reading from a mapped memory for memory types that are not HOST_COHERENT. Map operation doesn't do that automatically.
offset must be relative to the beginning of allocation.size can be VK_WHOLE_SIZE. It means all memory from offset the the end of given allocation.offset and size don't have to be aligned. They are internally rounded down/up to multiply of nonCoherentAtomSize.size is 0, this call is ignored.allocation belongs to is not HOST_VISIBLE or it is HOST_COHERENT, this call is ignored.Warning! offset and size are relative to the contents of given allocation. If you mean whole allocation, you can pass 0 and VK_WHOLE_SIZE, respectively. Do not pass allocation's offset as offset!!!
This function returns the VkResult from vkInvalidateMappedMemoryRanges if it is called, otherwise VK_SUCCESS.
| VkResult vmaInvalidateAllocations | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |
| uint32_t | allocationCount, | ||
| const VmaAllocation * | allocations, | ||
| const VkDeviceSize * | offsets, | ||
| const VkDeviceSize * | sizes | ||
| ) |
Invalidates memory of given set of allocations.
Calls vkInvalidateMappedMemoryRanges() for memory associated with given ranges of given allocations. For more information, see documentation of vmaInvalidateAllocation().
| allocator | |
| allocationCount | |
| allocations | |
| offsets | If not null, it must point to an array of offsets of regions to flush, relative to the beginning of respective allocations. Null means all ofsets are zero. |
| sizes | If not null, it must point to an array of sizes of regions to flush in respective allocations. Null means VK_WHOLE_SIZE for all allocations. |
This function returns the VkResult from vkInvalidateMappedMemoryRanges if it is called, otherwise VK_SUCCESS.
| VkBool32 vmaIsVirtualBlockEmpty | ( | VmaVirtualBlock | virtualBlock | ) |
Returns true of the VmaVirtualBlock is empty - contains 0 virtual allocations and has all its space available for new allocations.
| void vmaMakePoolAllocationsLost | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |
| VmaPool | pool, | ||
| size_t * | pLostAllocationCount | ||
| ) |
Marks all allocations in given pool as lost if they are not used in current frame or VmaPoolCreateInfo::frameInUseCount back from now.
| allocator | Allocator object. | |
| pool | Pool. | |
| [out] | pLostAllocationCount | Number of allocations marked as lost. Optional - pass null if you don't need this information. |
| VkResult vmaMapMemory | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |
| VmaAllocation | allocation, | ||
| void ** | ppData | ||
| ) |
Maps memory represented by given allocation and returns pointer to it.
Maps memory represented by given allocation to make it accessible to CPU code. When succeeded, *ppData contains pointer to first byte of this memory. If the allocation is part of bigger VkDeviceMemory block, the pointer is correctly offsetted to the beginning of region assigned to this particular allocation.
Mapping is internally reference-counted and synchronized, so despite raw Vulkan function vkMapMemory() cannot be used to map same block of VkDeviceMemory multiple times simultaneously, it is safe to call this function on allocations assigned to the same memory block. Actual Vulkan memory will be mapped on first mapping and unmapped on last unmapping.
If the function succeeded, you must call vmaUnmapMemory() to unmap the allocation when mapping is no longer needed or before freeing the allocation, at the latest.
It also safe to call this function multiple times on the same allocation. You must call vmaUnmapMemory() same number of times as you called vmaMapMemory().
It is also safe to call this function on allocation created with VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_MAPPED_BIT flag. Its memory stays mapped all the time. You must still call vmaUnmapMemory() same number of times as you called vmaMapMemory(). You must not call vmaUnmapMemory() additional time to free the "0-th" mapping made automatically due to VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_MAPPED_BIT flag.
This function fails when used on allocation made in memory type that is not HOST_VISIBLE.
This function always fails when called for allocation that was created with VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_CAN_BECOME_LOST_BIT flag. Such allocations cannot be mapped.
This function doesn't automatically flush or invalidate caches. If the allocation is made from a memory types that is not HOST_COHERENT, you also need to use vmaInvalidateAllocation() / vmaFlushAllocation(), as required by Vulkan specification.
| void vmaSetAllocationUserData | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |
| VmaAllocation | allocation, | ||
| void * | pUserData | ||
| ) |
Sets pUserData in given allocation to new value.
If the allocation was created with VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_USER_DATA_COPY_STRING_BIT, pUserData must be either null, or pointer to a null-terminated string. The function makes local copy of the string and sets it as allocation's pUserData. String passed as pUserData doesn't need to be valid for whole lifetime of the allocation - you can free it after this call. String previously pointed by allocation's pUserData is freed from memory.
If the flag was not used, the value of pointer pUserData is just copied to allocation's pUserData. It is opaque, so you can use it however you want - e.g. as a pointer, ordinal number or some handle to you own data.
| void vmaSetCurrentFrameIndex | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |
| uint32_t | frameIndex | ||
| ) |
Sets index of the current frame.
This function must be used if you make allocations with VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_CAN_BECOME_LOST_BIT and VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_CAN_MAKE_OTHER_LOST_BIT flags to inform the allocator when a new frame begins. Allocations queried using vmaGetAllocationInfo() cannot become lost in the current frame.
| void vmaSetPoolName | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |
| VmaPool | pool, | ||
| const char * | pName | ||
| ) |
Sets name of a custom pool.
pName can be either null or pointer to a null-terminated string with new name for the pool. Function makes internal copy of the string, so it can be changed or freed immediately after this call.
| void vmaSetVirtualAllocationUserData | ( | VmaVirtualBlock | virtualBlock, |
| VkDeviceSize | offset, | ||
| void * | pUserData | ||
| ) |
Changes custom pointer associated with given virtual allocation.
| VkBool32 vmaTouchAllocation | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |
| VmaAllocation | allocation | ||
| ) |
Returns VK_TRUE if allocation is not lost and atomically marks it as used in current frame.
If the allocation has been created with VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_CAN_BECOME_LOST_BIT flag, this function returns VK_TRUE if it is not in lost state, so it can still be used. It then also atomically "touches" the allocation - marks it as used in current frame, so that you can be sure it won't become lost in current frame or next frameInUseCount frames.
If the allocation is in lost state, the function returns VK_FALSE. Memory of such allocation, as well as buffer or image bound to it, should not be used. Lost allocation and the buffer/image still need to be destroyed.
If the allocation has been created without VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_CAN_BECOME_LOST_BIT flag, this function always returns VK_TRUE.
| void vmaUnmapMemory | ( | VmaAllocator | allocator, |
| VmaAllocation | allocation | ||
| ) |
Unmaps memory represented by given allocation, mapped previously using vmaMapMemory().
For details, see description of vmaMapMemory().
This function doesn't automatically flush or invalidate caches. If the allocation is made from a memory types that is not HOST_COHERENT, you also need to use vmaInvalidateAllocation() / vmaFlushAllocation(), as required by Vulkan specification.
| VkResult vmaVirtualAllocate | ( | VmaVirtualBlock | virtualBlock, |
| const VmaVirtualAllocationCreateInfo * | pCreateInfo, | ||
| VkDeviceSize * | pOffset | ||
| ) |
Allocates new virtual allocation inside given VmaVirtualBlock.
There is no handle type for a virtual allocation. Virtual allocations within a specific virtual block are uniquely identified by their offsets.
If the allocation fails due to not enough free space available, VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY is returned, despite the function doesn't ever allocate actual GPU memory.
| void vmaVirtualFree | ( | VmaVirtualBlock | virtualBlock, |
| VkDeviceSize | offset | ||
| ) |
Frees virtual allocation inside given VmaVirtualBlock.
