MSVC: Type "VmaAllocation_T" not defined about vulkanmemoryallocator

This is not correct. offset parameter is relative to the beginning of the allocation, so you should pass 0. I updated documentation to make it even more clear:

Fixed, I made a mistake in my code.

What was the mistake and how did you fix it? I'm having the same issue.

Possibly you try to create an object of type VmaAllocation_T by value, not by pointer like VmaAllocation_T*, which is equivalent to VmaAllocation. You should always use it by pointer and treat it like an opaque pointer. Do not try to peek inside for member variables or functions.

Yup, that's what I'm doing.

vmaInvalidateAllocation(*volume.allocator, volume.volumeAllocation, volume.volumeAllocation->GetOffset(), volume.volumeAllocation->GetSize());

Switched it over to VmaAllocationInfo/vmaGetAllocationInfo fixed it.

VmaAllocationInfo info;
vmaGetAllocationInfo(*volume.allocator, volume.volumeAllocation, &info);
vmaInvalidateAllocation(*volume.allocator, volume.volumeAllocation, info.offset, info.size);

Offtopic Query: Since I can't find any reference on how to properly call vmaInvalidateAllocation, is that the correct usage? Should I be passing the offset and size from the allocation?
