</div><!-- fragment --><p >Remember that using resouces that alias in memory requires proper synchronization. You need to issue a special barrier of type <code>D3D12_RESOURCE_BARRIER_TYPE_ALIASING</code>. You also need to treat a resource after aliasing as uninitialized - containing garbage data. For example, if you use <code>res1</code> and then want to use <code>res2</code>, you need to first initialize <code>res2</code> using either Clear, Discard, or Copy to the entire resource.</p>
<p >Additional considerations:</p>
<ul>
<li>D3D12 also allows to interpret contents of memory between aliasing resources consistently in some cases, which is called "data inheritance". For details, see Microsoft documentation, chapter <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3d12/memory-aliasing-and-data-inheritance">Memory Aliasing and Data Inheritance</a>.</li>
<li>D3D12 also allows to interpret contents of memory between aliasing resources consistently in some cases, which is called "data inheritance". For details, see Microsoft documentation chapter "Memory Aliasing and Data Inheritance".</li>
<li>You can create more complex layout where different textures and buffers are bound at different offsets inside one large allocation. For example, one can imagine a big texture used in some render passes, aliasing with a set of many small buffers used in some further passes. To bind a resource at non-zero offset of an allocation, call <a class="el" href="class_d3_d12_m_a_1_1_allocator.html#ab45536f92410aedb7be44ea36b1b4717" title="Creates a new resource in place of an existing allocation. This is useful for memory aliasing.">D3D12MA::Allocator::CreateAliasingResource</a> with appropriate value of <code>AllocationLocalOffset</code> parameter.</li>
<li>Resources of the three categories: buffers, textures with <code>RENDER_TARGET</code> or <code>DEPTH_STENCIL</code> flags, and all other textures, can be placed in the same memory only when <code>allocator-&gt;GetD3D12Options().ResourceHeapTier &gt;= D3D12_RESOURCE_HEAP_TIER_2</code>. Otherwise they must be placed in different memory heap types, and thus aliasing them is not possible. </li>

The process of getting regular CPU-side pointer to the memory of a resource in
Direct3D is called "mapping". There are rules and restrictions to this process,

Mapping happens on the level of particular resources, not entire memory heaps,
and so it is out of scope of this library. Just as the linked documentation says:

- D3D12 also allows to interpret contents of memory between aliasing resources consistently in some cases,
which is called "data inheritance". For details, see

- You can create more complex layout where different textures and buffers are bound
at different offsets inside one large allocation. For example, one can imagine
a big texture used in some render passes, aliasing with a set of many small buffers
