You need to issue a memory barrier to make sure commands that use <code>img1</code> and <code>img2</code> don't overlap on GPU timeline. You also need to treat a resource after aliasing as uninitialized - containing garbage data. For example, if you use <code>img1</code> and then want to use <code>img2</code>, you need to issue an image memory barrier for <code>img2</code> with <code>oldLayout</code> = <code>VK_IMAGE_LAYOUT_UNDEFINED</code>.</p>

If #VMA_ALLOCATOR_CREATE_KHR_DEDICATED_ALLOCATION_BIT flag was used,
VK_KHR_dedicated_allocation extension is used internally to query driver whether
it requires or prefers the new buffer to have dedicated allocation. If yes,
and if dedicated allocation is possible (VmaAllocationCreateInfo::pool is null
and #VMA_ALLOCATION_CREATE_NEVER_ALLOCATE_BIT is not used), it creates dedicated
