VKALLOCATIONCALLBACK(3)

NAME
VkAllocationCallbacks - Structure containing callback function pointers for memory allocation.

C SPECIFICATION

Allocators are provided by the application as a pointer to a VkAllocationCallbacks structure:

    typedef struct VkAllocationCallbacks {
        void*                                   pUserData;
        PFN_vkAllocationFunction                pfnAllocation;
        PFN_vkReallocationFunction              pfnReallocation;
        PFN_vkFreeFunction                      pfnFree;
        PFN_vkInternalAllocationNotification    pfnInternalAllocation;
        PFN_vkInternalFreeNotification          pfnInternalFree;
    } VkAllocationCallbacks;

MEMBERS

    • pUserData is a value to be interpreted by the implementation of the callbacks. When any of the callbacks in VkAllocationCallbacks are called, the Vulkan implementation will pass this value as the first parameter to the callback. This value can vary each time an allocator is passed into a command, even when the same object takes an allocator in multiple commands.

    • pfnAllocation is a pointer to an application-defined memory allocation function of type PFN_vkAllocationFunction.

    • pfnReallocation is a pointer to an application-defined memory reallocation function of type PFN_vkReallocationFunction.

    • pfnFree is a pointer to an application-defined memory free function of type PFN_vkFreeFunction.

    • pfnInternalAllocation is a pointer to an application-defined function that is called by the implementation when the implementation makes internal allocations, and it is of type PFN_vkInternalAllocationNotification.

    • pfnInternalFree is a pointer to an application-defined function that is called by the implementation when the implementation frees internal allocations, and it is of type PFN_vkInternalFreeNotification.

DESCRIPTION

VALID USAGE

    • pfnAllocation must be a pointer to a valid user-defined PFN_vkAllocationFunction

    • pfnReallocation must be a pointer to a valid user-defined PFN_vkReallocationFunction

    • pfnFree must be a pointer to a valid user-defined PFN_vkFreeFunction

    • If either of pfnInternalAllocation or pfnInternalFree is not NULL, both must be valid callbacks
