\page quick_start Quick start

\section quick_start_project_setup Project setup and initialization

This is a small, standalone C++ library. It consists of a pair of 2 files:
"D3D12MemAlloc.h" header file with public interface and "D3D12MemAlloc.cpp" with
internal implementation. The only external dependencies are WinAPI, Direct3D 12,
and parts of C/C++ standard library (but STL containers, exceptions, or RTTI are
not used).

The library is developed and tested using Microsoft Visual Studio 2019, but it
should work with other compilers as well. It is designed for 64-bit code.

To use the library in your project:

(1.) Copy files `D3D12MemAlloc.cpp`, `%D3D12MemAlloc.h` to your project.

(2.) Make `D3D12MemAlloc.cpp` compiling as part of the project, as C++ code.

(3.) Include library header in each CPP file that needs to use the library.

\code
#include "D3D12MemAlloc.h"
\endcode

(4.) Right after you created `ID3D12Device`, fill D3D12MA::ALLOCATOR_DESC
structure and call function D3D12MA::CreateAllocator to create the main
D3D12MA::Allocator object.

Please note that all symbols of the library are declared inside #D3D12MA namespace.

\code
IDXGIAdapter* adapter = (...)
ID3D12Device* device = (...)

D3D12MA::ALLOCATOR_DESC allocatorDesc = {};
allocatorDesc.pDevice = device;
allocatorDesc.pAdapter = adapter;

D3D12MA::Allocator* allocator;
HRESULT hr = D3D12MA::CreateAllocator(&allocatorDesc, &allocator);
\endcode

(5.) Right before destroying the D3D12 device, destroy the allocator object.

Objects of this library must be destroyed by calling `Release` method.
They are somewhat compatible with COM: they implement `IUnknown` interface with its virtual methods: `AddRef`, `Release`, `QueryInterface`,
and they are reference-counted internally.
You can use smart pointers designed for COM with objects of this library - e.g. `CComPtr` or `Microsoft::WRL::ComPtr`.
The reference counter is thread-safe.
`QueryInterface` method supports only `IUnknown`, as classes of this library don't define their own GUIDs.

\code
allocator->Release();
\endcode


\section quick_start_creating_resources Creating resources

To use the library for creating resources (textures and buffers), call method
D3D12MA::Allocator::CreateResource in the place where you would previously call
`ID3D12Device::CreateCommittedResource`.

The function has similar syntax, but it expects structure D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_DESC
to be passed along with `D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC` and other parameters for created
resource. This structure describes parameters of the desired memory allocation,
including choice of `D3D12_HEAP_TYPE`.

The function returns a new object of type D3D12MA::Allocation.
It represents allocated memory and can be queried for size, offset, `ID3D12Heap`.
It also holds a reference to the `ID3D12Resource`, which can be accessed by calling D3D12MA::Allocation::GetResource().

\code
D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC resourceDesc = {};
resourceDesc.Dimension = D3D12_RESOURCE_DIMENSION_TEXTURE2D;
resourceDesc.Alignment = 0;
resourceDesc.Width = 1024;
resourceDesc.Height = 1024;
resourceDesc.DepthOrArraySize = 1;
resourceDesc.MipLevels = 1;
resourceDesc.Format = DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM;
resourceDesc.SampleDesc.Count = 1;
resourceDesc.SampleDesc.Quality = 0;
resourceDesc.Layout = D3D12_TEXTURE_LAYOUT_UNKNOWN;
resourceDesc.Flags = D3D12_RESOURCE_FLAG_NONE;

D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_DESC allocationDesc = {};
allocationDesc.HeapType = D3D12_HEAP_TYPE_DEFAULT;

D3D12MA::Allocation* allocation;
HRESULT hr = allocator->CreateResource(
    &allocationDesc,
    &resourceDesc,
    D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_COPY_DEST,
    NULL,
    &allocation,
    IID_NULL, NULL);

// Use allocation->GetResource()...
\endcode

You need to release the allocation object when no longer needed.
This will also release the D3D12 resource.

\code
allocation->Release();
\endcode

The advantage of using the allocator instead of creating committed resource, and
the main purpose of this library, is that it can decide to allocate bigger memory
heap internally using `ID3D12Device::CreateHeap` and place multiple resources in
it, at different offsets, using `ID3D12Device::CreatePlacedResource`. The library
manages its own collection of allocated memory blocks (heaps) and remembers which
parts of them are occupied and which parts are free to be used for new resources.

It is important to remember that resources created as placed don't have their memory
initialized to zeros, but may contain garbage data, so they need to be fully initialized
before usage, e.g. using Clear (`ClearRenderTargetView`), Discard (`DiscardResource`),
or copy (`CopyResource`).

The library also automatically handles resource heap tier.
When `D3D12_FEATURE_DATA_D3D12_OPTIONS::ResourceHeapTier` equals `D3D12_RESOURCE_HEAP_TIER_1`,
resources of 3 types: buffers, textures that are render targets or depth-stencil,
and other textures must be kept in separate heaps. When `D3D12_RESOURCE_HEAP_TIER_2`,
they can be kept together. By using this library, you don't need to handle this
manually.


\section quick_start_resource_reference_counting Resource reference counting

`ID3D12Resource` and other interfaces of Direct3D 12 use COM, so they are reference-counted.
Objects of this library are reference-counted as well.
An object of type D3D12MA::Allocation remembers the resource (buffer or texture)
that was created together with this memory allocation
and holds a reference to the `ID3D12Resource` object.
(Note this is a difference to Vulkan Memory Allocator, where a `VmaAllocation` object has no connection
with the buffer or image that was created with it.)
Thus, it is important to manage the resource reference counter properly.

<b>The simplest use case</b> is shown in the code snippet above.
When only D3D12MA::Allocation object is obtained from a function call like D3D12MA::Allocator::CreateResource,
it remembers the `ID3D12Resource` that was created with it and holds a reference to it.
The resource can be obtained by calling `allocation->GetResource()`, which doesn't increment the resource
reference counter.
Calling `allocation->Release()` will decrease the resource reference counter, which is = 1 in this case,
so the resource will be released.

<b>Second option</b> is to retrieve a pointer to the resource along with D3D12MA::Allocation.
Last parameters of the resource creation function can be used for this purpose.

\code
D3D12MA::Allocation* allocation;
ID3D12Resource* resource;
HRESULT hr = allocator->CreateResource(
    &allocationDesc,
    &resourceDesc,
    D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_COPY_DEST,
    NULL,
    &allocation,
    IID_PPV_ARGS(&resource));

// Use resource...
\endcode

In this case, returned pointer `resource` is equal to `allocation->GetResource()`,
but the creation function additionally increases resource reference counter for the purpose of returning it from this call
(it actually calls `QueryInterface` internally), so the resource will have the counter = 2.
The resource then need to be released along with the allocation, in this particular order,
to make sure the resource is destroyed before its memory heap can potentially be freed.

\code
resource->Release();
allocation->Release();
\endcode

<b>More advanced use cases</b> are possible when we consider that an D3D12MA::Allocation object can just hold
a reference to any resource.
It can be changed by calling D3D12MA::Allocation::SetResource. This function
releases the old resource and calls `AddRef` on the new one.

Special care must be taken when performing <b>defragmentation</b>.
The new resource created at the destination place should be set as `pass.pMoves[i].pDstTmpAllocation->SetResource(newRes)`,
but it is moved to the source allocation at end of the defragmentation pass,
while the old resource accessible through `pass.pMoves[i].pSrcAllocation->GetResource()` is then released.
For more information, see documentation chapter \ref defragmentation.


\section quick_start_mapping_memory Mapping memory

The process of getting regular CPU-side pointer to the memory of a resource in
Direct3D is called "mapping". There are rules and restrictions to this process,
as described in D3D12 documentation of `ID3D12Resource::Map` method.

Mapping happens on the level of particular resources, not entire memory heaps,
and so it is out of scope of this library. Just as the documentation of the `Map` function says:

- Returned pointer refers to data of particular subresource, not entire memory heap.
- You can map same resource multiple times. It is ref-counted internally.
- Mapping is thread-safe.
- Unmapping is not required before resource destruction.
- Unmapping may not be required before using written data - some heap types on
  some platforms support resources persistently mapped.

When using this library, you can map and use your resources normally without
considering whether they are created as committed resources or placed resources in one large heap.

Example for buffer created and filled in `UPLOAD` heap type:

\code
const UINT64 bufSize = 65536;
const float* bufData = (...);

D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC resourceDesc = {};
resourceDesc.Dimension = D3D12_RESOURCE_DIMENSION_BUFFER;
resourceDesc.Alignment = 0;
resourceDesc.Width = bufSize;
resourceDesc.Height = 1;
resourceDesc.DepthOrArraySize = 1;
resourceDesc.MipLevels = 1;
resourceDesc.Format = DXGI_FORMAT_UNKNOWN;
resourceDesc.SampleDesc.Count = 1;
resourceDesc.SampleDesc.Quality = 0;
resourceDesc.Layout = D3D12_TEXTURE_LAYOUT_ROW_MAJOR;
resourceDesc.Flags = D3D12_RESOURCE_FLAG_NONE;

D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_DESC allocationDesc = {};
allocationDesc.HeapType = D3D12_HEAP_TYPE_UPLOAD;

D3D12Resource* resource;
D3D12MA::Allocation* allocation;
HRESULT hr = allocator->CreateResource(
    &allocationDesc,
    &resourceDesc,
    D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_GENERIC_READ,
    NULL,
    &allocation,
    IID_PPV_ARGS(&resource));

void* mappedPtr;
hr = resource->Map(0, NULL, &mappedPtr);

memcpy(mappedPtr, bufData, bufSize);

resource->Unmap(0, NULL);
\endcode


\page custom_pools Custom memory pools

A "pool" is a collection of memory blocks that share certain properties.
Allocator creates 3 default pools: for `D3D12_HEAP_TYPE_DEFAULT`, `UPLOAD`, `READBACK`.
A default pool automatically grows in size. Size of allocated blocks is also variable and managed automatically.
Typical allocations are created in these pools. You can also create custom pools.

\section custom_pools_usage Usage

To create a custom pool, fill in structure D3D12MA::POOL_DESC and call function D3D12MA::Allocator::CreatePool
to obtain object D3D12MA::Pool. Example:

\code
POOL_DESC poolDesc = {};
poolDesc.HeapProperties.Type = D3D12_HEAP_TYPE_DEFAULT;

Pool* pool;
HRESULT hr = allocator->CreatePool(&poolDesc, &pool);
\endcode

To allocate resources out of a custom pool, only set member D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_DESC::CustomPool.
Example:

\code
ALLOCATION_DESC allocDesc = {};
allocDesc.CustomPool = pool;

D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC resDesc = ...
Allocation* alloc;
hr = allocator->CreateResource(&allocDesc, &resDesc,
    D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_GENERIC_READ, NULL, &alloc, IID_NULL, NULL);
\endcode

All allocations must be released before releasing the pool.
The pool must be released before relasing the allocator.

\code
alloc->Release();
pool->Release();
\endcode

\section custom_pools_features_and_benefits Features and benefits

While it is recommended to use default pools whenever possible for simplicity and to give the allocator
more opportunities for internal optimizations, custom pools may be useful in following cases:

- To keep some resources separate from others in memory.
- To keep track of memory usage of just a specific group of resources. %Statistics can be queried using
  D3D12MA::Pool::CalculateStatistics.
- To use specific size of a memory block (`ID3D12Heap`). To set it, use member D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::BlockSize.
  When set to 0, the library uses automatically determined, variable block sizes.
- To reserve some minimum amount of memory allocated. To use it, set member D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::MinBlockCount.
- To limit maximum amount of memory allocated. To use it, set member D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::MaxBlockCount.
- To use extended parameters of the D3D12 memory allocation. While resources created from default pools
  can only specify `D3D12_HEAP_TYPE_DEFAULT`, `UPLOAD`, `READBACK`, a custom pool may use non-standard
  `D3D12_HEAP_PROPERTIES` (member D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::HeapProperties) and `D3D12_HEAP_FLAGS`
  (D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::HeapFlags), which is useful e.g. for cross-adapter sharing or UMA
  (see also D3D12MA::Allocator::IsUMA).

New versions of this library support creating **committed allocations in custom pools**.
It is supported only when D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::BlockSize = 0.
To use this feature, set D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_DESC::CustomPool to the pointer to your custom pool and
D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_DESC::Flags to D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_FLAG_COMMITTED. Example:

\code
ALLOCATION_DESC allocDesc = {};
allocDesc.CustomPool = pool;
allocDesc.Flags = ALLOCATION_FLAG_COMMITTED;

D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC resDesc = ...
Allocation* alloc;
ID3D12Resource* res;
hr = allocator->CreateResource(&allocDesc, &resDesc,
    D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_GENERIC_READ, NULL, &alloc, IID_PPV_ARGS(&res));
\endcode

This feature may seem unnecessary, but creating committed allocations from custom pools may be useful
in some cases, e.g. to have separate memory usage statistics for some group of resources or to use
extended allocation parameters, like custom `D3D12_HEAP_PROPERTIES`, which are available only in custom pools.


\page defragmentation Defragmentation

Interleaved allocations and deallocations of many objects of varying size can
cause fragmentation over time, which can lead to a situation where the library is unable
to find a continuous range of free memory for a new allocation despite there is
enough free space, just scattered across many small free ranges between existing
allocations.

To mitigate this problem, you can use defragmentation feature.
It doesn't happen automatically though and needs your cooperation,
because %D3D12MA is a low level library that only allocates memory.
It cannot recreate buffers and textures in a new place as it doesn't remember the contents of `D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC` structure.
It cannot copy their contents as it doesn't record any commands to a command list.

Example:

\code
D3D12MA::DEFRAGMENTATION_DESC defragDesc = {};
defragDesc.Flags = D3D12MA::DEFRAGMENTATION_FLAG_ALGORITHM_FAST;

D3D12MA::DefragmentationContext* defragCtx;
allocator->BeginDefragmentation(&defragDesc, &defragCtx);

for(;;)
{
    D3D12MA::DEFRAGMENTATION_PASS_MOVE_INFO pass;
    HRESULT hr = defragCtx->BeginPass(&pass);
    if(hr == S_OK)
        break;
    else if(hr != S_FALSE)
        // Handle error...

    for(UINT i = 0; i < pass.MoveCount; ++i)
    {
        // Inspect pass.pMoves[i].pSrcAllocation, identify what buffer/texture it represents.
        MyEngineResourceData* resData = (MyEngineResourceData*)pMoves[i].pSrcAllocation->GetPrivateData();
            
        // Recreate this buffer/texture as placed at pass.pMoves[i].pDstTmpAllocation.
        D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC resDesc = ...
        ID3D12Resource* newRes;
        hr = device->CreatePlacedResource(
            pass.pMoves[i].pDstTmpAllocation->GetHeap(),
            pass.pMoves[i].pDstTmpAllocation->GetOffset(), &resDesc,
            D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_COPY_DEST, NULL, IID_PPV_ARGS(&newRes));
        // Check hr...

        // Store new resource in the pDstTmpAllocation.
        pass.pMoves[i].pDstTmpAllocation->SetResource(newRes);

        // Copy its content to the new place.
        cmdList->CopyResource(
            pass.pMoves[i].pDstTmpAllocation->GetResource(),
            pass.pMoves[i].pSrcAllocation->GetResource());
    }
        
    // Make sure the copy commands finished executing.
    cmdQueue->ExecuteCommandLists(...);
    // ...
    WaitForSingleObject(fenceEvent, INFINITE);

    // Update appropriate descriptors to point to the new places...
        
    hr = defragCtx->EndPass(&pass);
    if(hr == S_OK)
        break;
    else if(hr != S_FALSE)
        // Handle error...
}

defragCtx->Release();
\endcode

Although functions like D3D12MA::Allocator::CreateResource()
create an allocation and a buffer/texture at once, these are just a shortcut for
allocating memory and creating a placed resource.
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 `S_FALSE` not `S_OK`.
In each pass:

1. D3D12MA::DefragmentationContext::BeginPass() function call:
   - Calculates and returns the list of allocations to be moved in this pass.
     Note this can be a time-consuming process.
   - Reserves destination memory for them by creating temporary destination allocations
     that you can query for their `ID3D12Heap` + offset using methods like D3D12MA::Allocation::GetHeap().
2. Inside the pass, **you should**:
   - Inspect the returned list of allocations to be moved.
   - Create new buffers/textures as placed at the returned destination temporary allocations.
   - Copy data from source to destination resources if necessary.
   - Store the pointer to the new resource in the temporary destination allocation.
3. D3D12MA::DefragmentationContext::EndPass() function call:
   - Frees the source memory reserved for the allocations that are moved.
   - Modifies source D3D12MA::Allocation objects that are moved to point to the destination reserved memory
     and destination resource, while source resource is released.
   - Frees `ID3D12Heap` blocks that became empty.

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 D3D12MA::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.

Inside a pass, for each allocation that should be moved:

- You should copy its data from the source to the destination place by calling e.g. `CopyResource()`.
  - You need to make sure these commands finished executing before the source buffers/textures are released by D3D12MA::DefragmentationContext::EndPass().
- If a resource doesn't contain any meaningful data, e.g. it is a transient render-target texture to be cleared,
  filled, and used temporarily in each rendering frame, you can just recreate this texture
  without copying its data.
- If the resource is in `D3D12_HEAP_TYPE_READBACK` memory, you can copy its data on the CPU
  using `memcpy()`.
- If you cannot move the allocation, you can set `pass.pMoves[i].Operation` to D3D12MA::DEFRAGMENTATION_MOVE_OPERATION_IGNORE.
  This will cancel the move.
  - D3D12MA::DefragmentationContext::EndPass() will then free the destination memory
    not the source memory of the allocation, leaving it unchanged.
- If you decide the allocation is unimportant and can be destroyed instead of moved (e.g. it wasn't used for long time),
  you can set `pass.pMoves[i].Operation` to D3D12MA::DEFRAGMENTATION_MOVE_OPERATION_DESTROY.
  - D3D12MA::DefragmentationContext::EndPass() will then free both source and destination memory, and will destroy the source D3D12MA::Allocation object.

You can defragment a specific custom pool by calling D3D12MA::Pool::BeginDefragmentation
or all the default pools by calling D3D12MA::Allocator::BeginDefragmentation (like in the example above).

Defragmentation is always performed in each pool separately.
Allocations are never moved between different heap types.
The size of the destination memory reserved for a moved allocation is the same as the original one.
Alignment of an allocation as it was determined using `GetResourceAllocationInfo()` is also respected after defragmentation.
Buffers/textures should be recreated with the same `D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC` parameters as the original ones.

You can perform the defragmentation incrementally to limit the number of allocations and bytes to be moved
in each pass, e.g. to call it in sync with render frames and not to experience too big hitches.
See members: D3D12MA::DEFRAGMENTATION_DESC::MaxBytesPerPass, D3D12MA::DEFRAGMENTATION_DESC::MaxAllocationsPerPass.

<b>Thread safety:</b>
It is safe to perform the defragmentation asynchronously to render frames and other Direct3D 12 and %D3D12MA
usage, possibly from multiple threads, with the exception that allocations
returned in D3D12MA::DEFRAGMENTATION_PASS_MOVE_INFO::pMoves shouldn't be released until the defragmentation pass is ended.
During the call to D3D12MA::DefragmentationContext::BeginPass(), any operations on the memory pool
affected by the defragmentation are blocked by a mutex.

What it means in practice is that you shouldn't free any allocations from the defragmented pool
since the moment a call to `BeginPass` begins. Otherwise, a thread performing the `allocation->Release()`
would block for the time `BeginPass` executes and then free the allocation when it finishes, while the allocation
could have ended up on the list of allocations to move.
A solution to freeing allocations during defragmentation is to find such allocation on the list
`pass.pMoves[i]` and set its operation to D3D12MA::DEFRAGMENTATION_MOVE_OPERATION_DESTROY instead of
calling `allocation->Release()`, or simply deferring the release to the time after defragmentation finished.

<b>Mapping</b> is out of scope of this library and so it is not preserved after an allocation is moved during defragmentation.
You need to map the new resource yourself if needed.

\note Defragmentation is not supported in custom pools created with D3D12MA::POOL_FLAG_ALGORITHM_LINEAR.


\page statistics Statistics

This library contains several functions that return information about its internal state,
especially the amount of memory allocated from D3D12.

\section statistics_numeric_statistics Numeric statistics

If you need to obtain basic statistics about memory usage per memory segment group, together with current budget,
you can call function D3D12MA::Allocator::GetBudget() and inspect structure D3D12MA::Budget.
This is useful to keep track of memory usage and stay withing budget.
Example:

\code
D3D12MA::Budget localBudget;
allocator->GetBudget(&localBudget, NULL);

printf("My GPU memory currently has %u allocations taking %llu B,\n",
    localBudget.Statistics.AllocationCount,
    localBudget.Statistics.AllocationBytes);
printf("allocated out of %u D3D12 memory heaps taking %llu B,\n",
    localBudget.Statistics.BlockCount,
    localBudget.Statistics.BlockBytes);
printf("D3D12 reports total usage %llu B with budget %llu B.\n",
    localBudget.UsageBytes,
    localBudget.BudgetBytes);
\endcode

You can query for more detailed statistics per heap type, memory segment group, and totals,
including minimum and maximum allocation size and unused range size,
by calling function D3D12MA::Allocator::CalculateStatistics() and inspecting structure D3D12MA::TotalStatistics.
This function is slower though, as it has to traverse all the internal data structures,
so it should be used only for debugging purposes.

You can query for statistics of a custom pool using function D3D12MA::Pool::GetStatistics()
or D3D12MA::Pool::CalculateStatistics().

You can query for information about a specific allocation using functions of the D3D12MA::Allocation class,
e.g. `GetSize()`, `GetOffset()`, `GetHeap()`.

\section statistics_json_dump JSON dump

You can dump internal state of the allocator to a string in JSON format using function D3D12MA::Allocator::BuildStatsString().
The result is guaranteed to be correct JSON.
It uses Windows Unicode (UTF-16) encoding.
Any strings provided by user (see D3D12MA::Allocation::SetName())
are copied as-is and properly escaped for JSON.
It must be freed using function D3D12MA::Allocator::FreeStatsString().

The format of this JSON string is not part of official documentation of the library,
but it will not change in backward-incompatible way without increasing library major version number
and appropriate mention in changelog.

The JSON string contains all the data that can be obtained using D3D12MA::Allocator::CalculateStatistics().
It can also contain detailed map of allocated memory blocks and their regions -
free and occupied by allocations.
This allows e.g. to visualize the memory or assess fragmentation.


\page resource_aliasing Resource aliasing (overlap)

New explicit graphics APIs (Vulkan and Direct3D 12), thanks to manual memory
management, give an opportunity to alias (overlap) multiple resources in the
same region of memory - a feature not available in the old APIs (Direct3D 11, OpenGL).
It can be useful to save video memory, but it must be used with caution.

For example, if you know the flow of your whole render frame in advance, you
are going to use some intermediate textures or buffers only during a small range of render passes,
and you know these ranges don't overlap in time, you can create these resources in
the same place in memory, even if they have completely different parameters (width, height, format etc.).

![Resource aliasing (overlap)](../gfx/Aliasing.png)

Such scenario is possible using D3D12MA, but you need to create your resources
using special function D3D12MA::Allocator::CreateAliasingResource.
Before that, you need to allocate memory with parameters calculated using formula:

- allocation size = max(size of each resource)
- allocation alignment = max(alignment of each resource)

Following example shows two different textures created in the same place in memory,
allocated to fit largest of them.

\code
D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC resDesc1 = {};
resDesc1.Dimension = D3D12_RESOURCE_DIMENSION_TEXTURE2D;
resDesc1.Alignment = 0;
resDesc1.Width = 1920;
resDesc1.Height = 1080;
resDesc1.DepthOrArraySize = 1;
resDesc1.MipLevels = 1;
resDesc1.Format = DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM;
resDesc1.SampleDesc.Count = 1;
resDesc1.SampleDesc.Quality = 0;
resDesc1.Layout = D3D12_TEXTURE_LAYOUT_UNKNOWN;
resDesc1.Flags = D3D12_RESOURCE_FLAG_ALLOW_RENDER_TARGET | D3D12_RESOURCE_FLAG_ALLOW_UNORDERED_ACCESS;

D3D12_RESOURCE_DESC resDesc2 = {};
resDesc2.Dimension = D3D12_RESOURCE_DIMENSION_TEXTURE2D;
resDesc2.Alignment = 0;
resDesc2.Width = 1024;
resDesc2.Height = 1024;
resDesc2.DepthOrArraySize = 1;
resDesc2.MipLevels = 0;
resDesc2.Format = DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM;
resDesc2.SampleDesc.Count = 1;
resDesc2.SampleDesc.Quality = 0;
resDesc2.Layout = D3D12_TEXTURE_LAYOUT_UNKNOWN;
resDesc2.Flags = D3D12_RESOURCE_FLAG_ALLOW_RENDER_TARGET;

const D3D12_RESOURCE_ALLOCATION_INFO allocInfo1 =
    device->GetResourceAllocationInfo(0, 1, &resDesc1);
const D3D12_RESOURCE_ALLOCATION_INFO allocInfo2 =
    device->GetResourceAllocationInfo(0, 1, &resDesc2);

D3D12_RESOURCE_ALLOCATION_INFO finalAllocInfo = {};
finalAllocInfo.Alignment = std::max(allocInfo1.Alignment, allocInfo2.Alignment);
finalAllocInfo.SizeInBytes = std::max(allocInfo1.SizeInBytes, allocInfo2.SizeInBytes);

D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_DESC allocDesc = {};
allocDesc.HeapType = D3D12_HEAP_TYPE_DEFAULT;
allocDesc.ExtraHeapFlags = D3D12_HEAP_FLAG_ALLOW_ONLY_RT_DS_TEXTURES;

D3D12MA::Allocation* alloc;
hr = allocator->AllocateMemory(&allocDesc, &finalAllocInfo, &alloc);
assert(alloc != NULL && alloc->GetHeap() != NULL);

ID3D12Resource* res1;
hr = allocator->CreateAliasingResource(
    alloc,
    0, // AllocationLocalOffset
    &resDesc1,
    D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_COMMON,
    NULL, // pOptimizedClearValue
    IID_PPV_ARGS(&res1));

ID3D12Resource* res2;
hr = allocator->CreateAliasingResource(
    alloc,
    0, // AllocationLocalOffset
    &resDesc2,
    D3D12_RESOURCE_STATE_COMMON,
    NULL, // pOptimizedClearValue
    IID_PPV_ARGS(&res2));

// You can use res1 and res2, but not at the same time!

res2->Release();
res1->Release();
alloc->Release();
\endcode

Remember that using resouces that alias in memory requires proper synchronization.
You need to issue a special barrier of type `D3D12_RESOURCE_BARRIER_TYPE_ALIASING`.
You also need to treat a resource after aliasing as uninitialized - containing garbage data.
For example, if you use `res1` and then want to use `res2`, you need to first initialize `res2`
using either Clear, Discard, or Copy to the entire resource.

Additional considerations:

- D3D12 also allows to interpret contents of memory between aliasing resources consistently in some cases,
  which is called "data inheritance". For details, see
  Microsoft documentation chapter "Memory Aliasing and Data Inheritance".
- You can create more complex layout where different textures and buffers are bound
  at different offsets inside one large allocation. For example, one can imagine
  a big texture used in some render passes, aliasing with a set of many small buffers
  used in some further passes. To bind a resource at non-zero offset of an allocation,
  call D3D12MA::Allocator::CreateAliasingResource with appropriate value of `AllocationLocalOffset` parameter.
- Resources of the three categories: buffers, textures with `RENDER_TARGET` or `DEPTH_STENCIL` flags, and all other textures,
  can be placed in the same memory only when `allocator->GetD3D12Options().ResourceHeapTier >= D3D12_RESOURCE_HEAP_TIER_2`.
  Otherwise they must be placed in different memory heap types, and thus aliasing them is not possible.


\page linear_algorithm Linear allocation algorithm

Each D3D12 memory block managed by this library has accompanying metadata that
keeps track of used and unused regions. By default, the metadata structure and
algorithm tries to find best place for new allocations among free regions to
optimize memory usage. This way you can allocate and free objects in any order.

![Default allocation algorithm](../gfx/Linear_allocator_1_algo_default.png)

Sometimes there is a need to use simpler, linear allocation algorithm. You can
create custom pool that uses such algorithm by adding flag
D3D12MA::POOL_FLAG_ALGORITHM_LINEAR to D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::Flags while creating
D3D12MA::Pool object. Then an alternative metadata management is used. It always
creates new allocations after last one and doesn't reuse free regions after
allocations freed in the middle. It results in better allocation performance and
less memory consumed by metadata.

![Linear allocation algorithm](../gfx/Linear_allocator_2_algo_linear.png)

With this one flag, you can create a custom pool that can be used in many ways:
free-at-once, stack, double stack, and ring buffer. See below for details.
You don't need to specify explicitly which of these options you are going to use - it is detected automatically.

\section linear_algorithm_free_at_once Free-at-once

In a pool that uses linear algorithm, you still need to free all the allocations
individually by calling `allocation->Release()`. You can free
them in any order. New allocations are always made after last one - free space
in the middle is not reused. However, when you release all the allocation and
the pool becomes empty, allocation starts from the beginning again. This way you
can use linear algorithm to speed up creation of allocations that you are going
to release all at once.

![Free-at-once](../gfx/Linear_allocator_3_free_at_once.png)

This mode is also available for pools created with D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::MaxBlockCount
value that allows multiple memory blocks.

\section linear_algorithm_stack Stack

When you free an allocation that was created last, its space can be reused.
Thanks to this, if you always release allocations in the order opposite to their
creation (LIFO - Last In First Out), you can achieve behavior of a stack.

![Stack](../gfx/Linear_allocator_4_stack.png)

This mode is also available for pools created with D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::MaxBlockCount
value that allows multiple memory blocks.

\section linear_algorithm_double_stack Double stack

The space reserved by a custom pool with linear algorithm may be used by two
stacks:

- First, default one, growing up from offset 0.
- Second, "upper" one, growing down from the end towards lower offsets.

To make allocation from the upper stack, add flag D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_FLAG_UPPER_ADDRESS
to D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_DESC::Flags.

![Double stack](../gfx/Linear_allocator_7_double_stack.png)

Double stack is available only in pools with one memory block -
D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::MaxBlockCount must be 1. Otherwise behavior is undefined.

When the two stacks' ends meet so there is not enough space between them for a
new allocation, such allocation fails with usual `E_OUTOFMEMORY` error.

\section linear_algorithm_ring_buffer Ring buffer

When you free some allocations from the beginning and there is not enough free space
for a new one at the end of a pool, allocator's "cursor" wraps around to the
beginning and starts allocation there. Thanks to this, if you always release
allocations in the same order as you created them (FIFO - First In First Out),
you can achieve behavior of a ring buffer / queue.

![Ring buffer](../gfx/Linear_allocator_5_ring_buffer.png)

Ring buffer is available only in pools with one memory block -
D3D12MA::POOL_DESC::MaxBlockCount must be 1. Otherwise behavior is undefined.

\section linear_algorithm_additional_considerations Additional considerations

Linear algorithm can also be used with \ref virtual_allocator.
See flag D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_BLOCK_FLAG_ALGORITHM_LINEAR.


\page virtual_allocator Virtual allocator

As an extra feature, the core allocation algorithm of the library is exposed through a simple and convenient API of "virtual allocator".
It doesn't allocate any real GPU memory. It just keeps track of used and free regions of a "virtual block".
You can use it to allocate your own memory or other objects, even completely unrelated to D3D12.
A common use case is sub-allocation of pieces of one large GPU buffer.

\section virtual_allocator_creating_virtual_block Creating virtual block

To use this functionality, there is no main "allocator" object.
You don't need to have D3D12MA::Allocator object created.
All you need to do is to create a separate D3D12MA::VirtualBlock object for each block of memory you want to be managed by the allocator:

-# Fill in D3D12MA::ALLOCATOR_DESC structure.
-# Call D3D12MA::CreateVirtualBlock. Get new D3D12MA::VirtualBlock object.

Example:

\code
D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_BLOCK_DESC blockDesc = {};
blockDesc.Size = 1048576; // 1 MB

D3D12MA::VirtualBlock *block;
HRESULT hr = CreateVirtualBlock(&blockDesc, &block);
\endcode

\section virtual_allocator_making_virtual_allocations Making virtual allocations

D3D12MA::VirtualBlock object contains internal data structure that keeps track of free and occupied regions
using the same code as the main D3D12 memory allocator.
A single allocation is identified by a lightweight structure D3D12MA::VirtualAllocation.
You will also likely want to know the offset at which the allocation was made in the block.

In order to make an allocation:

-# Fill in D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_ALLOCATION_DESC structure.
-# Call D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::Allocate. Get new D3D12MA::VirtualAllocation value that identifies the allocation.

Example:

\code
D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_ALLOCATION_DESC allocDesc = {};
allocDesc.Size = 4096; // 4 KB

D3D12MA::VirtualAllocation alloc;
UINT64 allocOffset;
hr = block->Allocate(&allocDesc, &alloc, &allocOffset);
if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
    // Use the 4 KB of your memory starting at allocOffset.
}
else
{
    // Allocation failed - no space for it could be found. Handle this error!
}
\endcode

\section virtual_allocator_deallocation Deallocation

When no longer needed, an allocation can be freed by calling D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::FreeAllocation.

When whole block is no longer needed, the block object can be released by calling `block->Release()`.
All allocations must be freed before the block is destroyed, which is checked internally by an assert.
However, if you don't want to call `block->FreeAllocation` for each allocation, you can use D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::Clear to free them all at once -
a feature not available in normal D3D12 memory allocator.

Example:

\code
block->FreeAllocation(alloc);
block->Release();
\endcode

\section virtual_allocator_allocation_parameters Allocation parameters

You can attach a custom pointer to each allocation by using D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::SetAllocationPrivateData.
Its default value is `NULL`.
It can be used to store any data that needs to be associated with that allocation - e.g. an index, a handle, or a pointer to some
larger data structure containing more information. Example:

\code
struct CustomAllocData
{
    std::string m_AllocName;
};
CustomAllocData* allocData = new CustomAllocData();
allocData->m_AllocName = "My allocation 1";
block->SetAllocationPrivateData(alloc, allocData);
\endcode

The pointer can later be fetched, along with allocation offset and size, by passing the allocation handle to function
D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::GetAllocationInfo and inspecting returned structure D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_ALLOCATION_INFO.
If you allocated a new object to be used as the custom pointer, don't forget to delete that object before freeing the allocation!
Example:

\code
VIRTUAL_ALLOCATION_INFO allocInfo;
block->GetAllocationInfo(alloc, &allocInfo);
delete (CustomAllocData*)allocInfo.pPrivateData;

block->FreeAllocation(alloc);
\endcode

\section virtual_allocator_alignment_and_units Alignment and units

It feels natural to express sizes and offsets in bytes.
If an offset of an allocation needs to be aligned to a multiply of some number (e.g. 4 bytes), you can fill optional member
D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_ALLOCATION_DESC::Alignment to request it. Example:

\code
D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_ALLOCATION_DESC allocDesc = {};
allocDesc.Size = 4096; // 4 KB
allocDesc.Alignment = 4; // Returned offset must be a multiply of 4 B

D3D12MA::VirtualAllocation alloc;
UINT64 allocOffset;
hr = block->Allocate(&allocDesc, &alloc, &allocOffset);
\endcode

Alignments of different allocations made from one block may vary.
However, if all alignments and sizes are always multiply of some size e.g. 4 B or `sizeof(MyDataStruct)`,
you can express all sizes, alignments, and offsets in multiples of that size instead of individual bytes.
It might be more convenient, but you need to make sure to use this new unit consistently in all the places:

- D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_BLOCK_DESC::Size
- D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_ALLOCATION_DESC::Size and D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_ALLOCATION_DESC::Alignment
- Using offset returned by D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::Allocate and D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_ALLOCATION_INFO::Offset

\section virtual_allocator_statistics Statistics

You can obtain brief statistics of a virtual block using D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::GetStatistics().
The function fills structure D3D12MA::Statistics - same as used by the normal D3D12 memory allocator.
Example:

\code
D3D12MA::Statistics stats;
block->GetStatistics(&stats);
printf("My virtual block has %llu bytes used by %u virtual allocations\n",
    stats.AllocationBytes, stats.AllocationCount);
\endcode

More detailed statistics can be obtained using function D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::CalculateStatistics(),
but they are slower to calculate.

You can also request a full list of allocations and free regions as a string in JSON format by calling
D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::BuildStatsString.
Returned string must be later freed using D3D12MA::VirtualBlock::FreeStatsString.
The format of this string may differ from the one returned by the main D3D12 allocator, but it is similar.

\section virtual_allocator_additional_considerations Additional considerations

Alternative, linear algorithm can be used with virtual allocator - see flag
D3D12MA::VIRTUAL_BLOCK_FLAG_ALGORITHM_LINEAR and documentation: \ref linear_algorithm.

Note that the "virtual allocator" functionality is implemented on a level of individual memory blocks.
Keeping track of a whole collection of blocks, allocating new ones when out of free space,
deleting empty ones, and deciding which one to try first for a new allocation must be implemented by the user.


\page configuration Configuration

Please check file `D3D12MemAlloc.cpp` lines between "Configuration Begin" and
"Configuration End" to find macros that you can define to change the behavior of
the library, primarily for debugging purposes.

\section custom_memory_allocator Custom CPU memory allocator

If you use custom allocator for CPU memory rather than default C++ operator `new`
and `delete` or `malloc` and `free` functions, you can make this library using
your allocator as well by filling structure D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_CALLBACKS and
passing it as optional member D3D12MA::ALLOCATOR_DESC::pAllocationCallbacks.
Functions pointed there will be used by the library to make any CPU-side
allocations. Example:

\code
#include <malloc.h>

void* CustomAllocate(size_t Size, size_t Alignment, void* pPrivateData)
{
    void* memory = _aligned_malloc(Size, Alignment);
    // Your extra bookkeeping here...
    return memory;
}

void CustomFree(void* pMemory, void* pPrivateData)
{
    // Your extra bookkeeping here...
    _aligned_free(pMemory);
}

(...)

D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_CALLBACKS allocationCallbacks = {};
allocationCallbacks.pAllocate = &CustomAllocate;
allocationCallbacks.pFree = &CustomFree;

D3D12MA::ALLOCATOR_DESC allocatorDesc = {};
allocatorDesc.pDevice = device;
allocatorDesc.pAdapter = adapter;
allocatorDesc.pAllocationCallbacks = &allocationCallbacks;

D3D12MA::Allocator* allocator;
HRESULT hr = D3D12MA::CreateAllocator(&allocatorDesc, &allocator);
\endcode


\section debug_margins Debug margins

By default, allocations are laid out in memory blocks next to each other if possible
(considering required alignment returned by `ID3D12Device::GetResourceAllocationInfo`).

![Allocations without margin](../gfx/Margins_1.png)

Define macro `D3D12MA_DEBUG_MARGIN` to some non-zero value (e.g. 16) inside "D3D12MemAlloc.cpp"
to enforce specified number of bytes as a margin after every allocation.

![Allocations with margin](../gfx/Margins_2.png)

If your bug goes away after enabling margins, it means it may be caused by memory
being overwritten outside of allocation boundaries. It is not 100% certain though.
Change in application behavior may also be caused by different order and distribution
of allocations across memory blocks after margins are applied.

Margins work with all memory heap types.

Margin is applied only to placed allocations made out of memory heaps and not to committed
allocations, which have their own, implicit memory heap of specific size.
It is thus not applied to allocations made using D3D12MA::ALLOCATION_FLAG_COMMITTED flag
or those automatically decided to put into committed allocations, e.g. due to its large size.

Margins appear in [JSON dump](@ref statistics_json_dump) as part of free space.

Note that enabling margins increases memory usage and fragmentation.

Margins do not apply to \ref virtual_allocator.


\page general_considerations General considerations

\section general_considerations_thread_safety Thread safety

- The library has no global state, so separate D3D12MA::Allocator objects can be used independently.
  In typical applications there should be no need to create multiple such objects though - one per `ID3D12Device` is enough.
- All calls to methods of D3D12MA::Allocator class are safe to be made from multiple
  threads simultaneously because they are synchronized internally when needed.
- When the allocator is created with D3D12MA::ALLOCATOR_FLAG_SINGLETHREADED,
  calls to methods of D3D12MA::Allocator class must be made from a single thread or synchronized by the user.
  Using this flag may improve performance.
- D3D12MA::VirtualBlock is not safe to be used from multiple threads simultaneously.

\section general_considerations_versioning_and_compatibility Versioning and compatibility

The library uses [**Semantic Versioning**](https://semver.org/),
which means version numbers follow convention: Major.Minor.Patch (e.g. 2.3.0), where:

- Incremented Patch version means a release is backward- and forward-compatible,
  introducing only some internal improvements, bug fixes, optimizations etc.
  or changes that are out of scope of the official API described in this documentation.
- Incremented Minor version means a release is backward-compatible,
  so existing code that uses the library should continue to work, while some new
  symbols could have been added: new structures, functions, new values in existing
  enums and bit flags, new structure members, but not new function parameters.
- Incrementing Major version means a release could break some backward compatibility.

All changes between official releases are documented in file "CHANGELOG.md".

\warning Backward compatiblity is considered on the level of C++ source code, not binary linkage.
Adding new members to existing structures is treated as backward compatible if initializing
the new members to binary zero results in the old behavior.
You should always fully initialize all library structures to zeros and not rely on their
exact binary size.

\section general_considerations_features_not_supported Features not supported

Features deliberately excluded from the scope of this library:

- **Descriptor allocation.** Although also called "heaps", objects that represent
  descriptors are separate part of the D3D12 API from buffers and textures.
  You can still use \ref virtual_allocator to manage descriptors and their ranges inside a descriptor heap.
- **Support for reserved (tiled) resources.** We don't recommend using them.
- Support for `ID3D12Device::Evict` and `MakeResident`. We don't recommend using them.
  You can call them on the D3D12 objects manually.
  Plese keep in mind, however, that eviction happens on the level of entire `ID3D12Heap` memory blocks
  and not individual buffers or textures which may be placed inside them.
- **Handling CPU memory allocation failures.** When dynamically creating small C++
  objects in CPU memory (not the GPU memory), allocation failures are not
  handled gracefully, because that would complicate code significantly and
  is usually not needed in desktop PC applications anyway.
  Success of an allocation is just checked with an assert.
- **Code free of any compiler warnings.**
  There are many preprocessor macros that make some variables unused, function parameters unreferenced,
  or conditional expressions constant in some configurations.
  The code of this library should not be bigger or more complicated just to silence these warnings.
  It is recommended to disable such warnings instead.
- This is a C++ library. **Bindings or ports to any other programming languages** are welcome as external projects but
  are not going to be included into this repository.
