\section debugging_memory_usage_leak_detection Leak detection features
|
||||
|
||||
At allocation and allocator destruction time VMA checks for unfreed and unmapped blocks using
|
||||
`VMA_ASSERT_LEAK()`. This macro defaults to an assertion, triggering a typically fatal error in Debug
|
||||
builds, and doing nothing in Release builds. You can provide your own definition of `VMA_ASSERT_LEAK()`
|
||||
to change this behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
At memory block destruction time VMA lists out all unfreed allocations using the `VMA_LEAK_LOG_FORMAT()`
|
||||
macro, which defaults to `VMA_DEBUG_LOG_FORMAT`, which in turn defaults to a no-op.
|
||||
If you're having trouble with leaks - for example, the aforementioned assertion triggers, but you don't
|
||||
quite know \em why -, overriding this macro to print out the the leaking blocks, combined with assigning
|
||||
individual names to allocations using vmaSetAllocationName(), can greatly aid in fixing them.

|

|
||||
VMA provides some features that help with interoperability with other graphics APIs, e.g. OpenGL.
