Custom memory pools

If you allocate from custom memory pool, all the ways of specifying memory requirements described above are not applicable and the aforementioned members of VmaAllocationCreateInfo structure are ignored. Memory type is selected explicitly when creating the pool and then used to make all the allocations from that pool. For further details, see Custom memory pools.

You can combine these two methods by specifying non-zero maxGpu* as well as maxCpu* parameters. The library automatically chooses best method to defragment each memory pool.

You may try not to block your entire program to wait until defragmentation finishes, but do it in the background, as long as you carefully fullfill requirements described in function vmaDefragmentationBegin().
