pub const VmaPoolCreateFlagBits_VMA_POOL_CREATE_IGNORE_BUFFER_IMAGE_GRANULARITY_BIT: VmaPoolCreateFlagBits = 2;

\brief 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.
