Although functions like vmaCreateBuffer(), vmaCreateImage(), vmaDestroyBuffer(), vmaDestroyImage() create/destroy an allocation and a buffer/image at once, these are just a shortcut for creating the resource, allocating memory, and binding them together. Defragmentation works on memory allocations only. You must handle the rest manually. Defragmentation is an iterative process that should repreat "passes" as long as related functions return VK_INCOMPLETE not VK_SUCCESS. In each pass:

  1. vmaBeginDefragmentationPass() function call:
  2. Inside the pass, you should:
  3. vmaEndDefragmentationPass() function call:

Unlike in previous iterations of the defragmentation API, there is no list of "movable" allocations passed as a parameter. Defragmentation algorithm tries to move all suitable allocations. You can, however, refuse to move some of them inside a defragmentation pass, by setting pass.pMoves[i].operation to VMA_DEFRAGMENTATION_MOVE_OPERATION_IGNORE. This is not recommended and may result in suboptimal packing of the allocations after defragmentation. If you cannot ensure any allocation can be moved, it is better to keep movable allocations separate in a custom pool.
