vkMapMemory - Map a memory object into application address space.
C Specification
---------------
// refBegin vkMapMemory Map a memory object into application address space.
2016-02-16 09:53:44 +00:00
To retrieve a host virtual address pointer to a region of a mappable memory
object, call:

include::../protos/vkMapMemory.txt[]
2016-02-16 09:53:44 +00:00
Parameters
----------
2016-02-16 09:53:44 +00:00
* pname:device is the logical device that owns the memory.
* pname:memory is the sname:VkDeviceMemory object to be mapped.
* pname:offset is a zero-based byte offset from the beginning of the
memory object.
* pname:size is the size of the memory range to map, or
ename:VK_WHOLE_SIZE to map from pname:offset to the end of the
allocation.
* pname:flags is reserved for future use.
* pname:ppData points to a pointer in which is returned a host-accessible
pointer to the beginning of the mapped range. This pointer minus
pname:offset must: be aligned to at least
sname:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::pname:minMemoryMapAlignment.

Description
-----------
It is an application error to call fname:vkMapMemory on a memory object that
is already mapped.
[[memory-device-hostaccess-hazards]]
fname:vkMapMemory does not check whether the device memory is currently in
use before returning the host-accessible pointer. The application
must: guarantee that any previously submitted command that writes to this
range has completed before the host reads from or writes to that
range, and that any previously submitted command that reads from that
range has completed before the host writes to that region (see
<<synchronization-fences-devicewrites, here>>
for details on fulfilling such a guarantee). If the device memory was
allocated without the ename:VK_MEMORY_PROPERTY_HOST_COHERENT_BIT set,
these guarantees must: be made for an extended range: the application
must: round down the start of the range to the nearest multiple of
sname:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::pname:nonCoherentAtomSize, and round the end
of the range up to the nearest multiple of
sname:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::pname:nonCoherentAtomSize.
While a range of device memory is mapped for host access, the application
is responsible for synchronizing both device and host access to that memory
range.
[NOTE]
.Note
====
It is important for the application developer to become meticulously
familiar with all of the mechanisms described in the chapter on
<<synchronization, Synchronization and Cache Control>> as they are crucial
to maintaining memory access ordering.

Change log for July 15, 2016 Vulkan 1.0.21 spec update: * Bump API patch number and header version number to 21 for this update. Github Issues: * Clarify how <<features-supported-sample-counts,sample count queries>> relate to the limits in slink:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits. (public issue 185). * Clarify in the <<interfaces-iointerfaces,Shader Input and Output Interfaces>> section that shader output variables have undefined values until the shader writes to them (public issue 240). * Specify the implicit value of image parameters that cannot be set in slink:VkSwapchainCreateInfo::pname:flags, pname:imageType, pname:mipLevels, pname:samples, pname:tiling, and pname:initialLayout (public issue 243). * Make use of code:NULL and code:VK_NULL_HANDLE consistent in the VK_KHR_swapchain extension (public issue 276). Internal Issues: * Clarify that presenting an image to a display surface swapchain applies the display surface's mode, and that destroying a display surface swapchain may reset the display's mode, in the VK_KHR_display_swapchain extension (internal issue 247). * Better describe what a slink:VkSurfaceKHR is, and that creating one does not set a mode, in the VK_KHR_display extension. This is a round-about way of pointing out that mode setting is not covered by the extension, but rather is performed as a side effect of presentation (internal issue 247). * Add more valid usage statements to flink:vkQueuePresentKHR command when the VK_KHR_display_swapchain extension is present (internal issue 247). * Add more includes to the VK_KHR_swapchain extension to better document interactions with VK_KHR_display_swapchain (internal issue 247). * Clarify restrictions on location aliasing in the <<fxvertex,Fixed-Function Vertex Processing>> section (internal issue 370). * Add mathematical description of blitting to flink:vkCmdBlitImage, and link it to the <<textures,Image Operations>> chapter. Use mathematical notation for ranges of texel coordinates in the <<textures,Image Operations>> chapter. Fixed miscellaneous validity statements for flink:vkCmdBlit and slink:VkImageBlit (internal issue 382). Other Commits: * Added a valid usage rule to flink:VkGraphicsPipelineCreateInfo that the ename:VK_PRIMITIVE_TOPOLOGY_PATCH_LIST topology must only be used when tessellation shaders are used. * Expand the style guide into a formal "Procedures and Conventions" document. Add a API Naming Conventions section, move most of the API Specification Appendix C (Layers and Extensions) content into the new document, and define the resulting procedures as mandatory (where relevant). This more clearly separates use vs. specification of Vulkan APIs. * Update vk_platform.h to handle 32-bit ARMv8 binaries. * Various minor cleanups to the Makefile and build process.
