Allocation user data</h1>
<p>You can annotate allocations with your own information, e.g. for debugging purposes. To do that, fill <a class="el" href="struct_vma_allocation_create_info.html#a8259e85c272683434f4abb4ddddffe19" title="Custom general-purpose pointer that will be stored in VmaAllocation, can be read as VmaAllocationInfo...">VmaAllocationCreateInfo::pUserData</a> field when creating an allocation. It is an opaque <code>void*</code> pointer. You can use it e.g. as a pointer, some handle, index, key, ordinal number or any other value that would associate the allocation with your custom metadata. It is useful to identify appropriate data structures in your engine given <a class="el" href="struct_vma_allocation.html" title="Represents single memory allocation.">VmaAllocation</a>, e.g. when doing <a class="el" href="defragmentation.html">Defragmentation</a>.</p>
