<li>Support for sparse binding and sparse residency. You can still use these features (when supported by the device) with VMA. You just need to do it yourself.

<li>Data transfer - issuing commands that transfer data between buffers or images, any usage of <code>VkCommandList</code> or <code>VkQueue</code> and related synchronization is responsibility of the user.</li>
<li>Allocations for imported/exported external memory. They tend to require explicit memory type index and dedicated allocation anyway, so they don't interact with main features of this library.

<li>Recreation of buffers and images. Although the library has functions for buffer and image creation (<a class="el" href="vk__mem__alloc_8h.html#ac72ee55598617e8eecca384e746bab51">vmaCreateBuffer()</a>, <a class="el" href="vk__mem__alloc_8h.html#a02a94f25679275851a53e82eacbcfc73" title="Function similar to vmaCreateBuffer(). ">vmaCreateImage()</a>), you need to recreate these objects yourself after defragmentation.
