gpu-allocator = "0.27.0"
This crate provides a fully written in Rust memory allocator for Vulkan, DirectX 12 and Metal.
Windows-rs and winapi
gpu-allocator
recently migrated from winapi to windows-rs but still provides convenient helpers to convert to and from winapi types, enabled when compiling with the public-winapi
crate feature.

The MSRV for this crate and the vulkan
, d3d12
and metal
features is Rust 1.70. Any other features such as the visualizer
(with all the egui
dependencies) may have a higher requirement and are not tested in our CI.
