<p>Tries to change allocation's size without moving or reallocating it. You can both shrink and grow allocation size. When growing, it succeeds only when the allocation belongs to a memory block with enough free space after it.</p>

<li>Calling this function on allocation that is in lost state fails with result <code>VK_ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILED_EXT</code>.</li>
<li>Calling this function with <code>newSize</code> same as current allocation size does nothing and returns <code>VK_SUCCESS</code>.</li>
<li>Resizing dedicated allocations, as well as allocations created in pools that use linear or buddy algorithm, is not supported. The function returns <code>VK_ERROR_FEATURE_NOT_PRESENT</code> in such cases. Support may be added in the future. </li>
<p>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 <code>pUserData</code>. 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.</p>
<p>If the flag was not used, the value of pointer <code>pUserData</code> is just copied to allocation's <code>pUserData</code>. 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. </p>
