Struct vulkano::memory::DeviceMemory

pub struct DeviceMemory { /* fields omitted */ }

Represents memory that has been allocated.

The destructor of DeviceMemory automatically frees the memory.

Example

use vulkano::memory::DeviceMemory;

let mem_ty = device.physical_device().memory_types().next().unwrap();

// Allocates 1KB of memory.
let memory = DeviceMemory::alloc(device.clone(), mem_ty, 1024).unwrap();

Implementations

impl DeviceMemory

pub fn alloc(
    device: Arc<Device>,
    memory_type: MemoryType<'_>,
    size: usize
) -> Result<DeviceMemory, DeviceMemoryAllocError>

Allocates a chunk of memory from the device.

Some platforms may have a limit on the maximum size of a single allocation. For example, certain systems may fail to create allocations with a size greater than or equal to 4GB.

Panic

• Panics if size is 0.
• Panics if memory_type doesn't belong to the same physical device as device.

pub fn dedicated_alloc(
    device: Arc<Device>,
    memory_type: MemoryType<'_>,
    size: usize,
    resource: DedicatedAlloc<'_>
) -> Result<DeviceMemory, DeviceMemoryAllocError>

Same as alloc, but allows specifying a resource that will be bound to the memory.

If a buffer or an image is specified in resource, then the returned memory must not be bound to a different buffer or image.

If the VK_KHR_dedicated_allocation extension is enabled on the device, then it will be used by this method. Otherwise the resource parameter will be ignored.

pub fn alloc_and_map(
    device: Arc<Device>,
    memory_type: MemoryType<'_>,
    size: usize
) -> Result<MappedDeviceMemory, DeviceMemoryAllocError>

Allocates a chunk of memory and maps it.

Panic

• Panics if memory_type doesn't belong to the same physical device as device.
• Panics if the memory type is not host-visible.

pub fn dedicated_alloc_and_map(
    device: Arc<Device>,
    memory_type: MemoryType<'_>,
    size: usize,
    resource: DedicatedAlloc<'_>
) -> Result<MappedDeviceMemory, DeviceMemoryAllocError>

Equivalent of dedicated_alloc for alloc_and_map.

pub fn memory_type(&self) -> MemoryType<'_>

Returns the memory type this chunk was allocated on.

pub fn size(&self) -> usize

Returns the size in bytes of that memory chunk.
