Allocating and binding a memory object to an image

Images, similarly to buffers, are not created with a bound memory storage. We need to implicitly create a memory object and bind it to the image. We can also use an existing memory object for this purpose.

How to do it...

1. Take the handle of a physical device from which a logical device was created. Store it in a variable of type VkPhysicalDevice named physical_device.
2. Create a variable of type VkPhysicalDeviceMemoryProperties named physical_device_memory_properties.
3. Call vkGetPhysicalDeviceMemoryProperties( physical_device, &physical_device_memory_properties ), for which provide the handle of the physical device and a pointer to the physical_device_memory_properties variable. This call will store memory parameters (number of heaps, their size, and types) of the physical device used for processing submitted operations.
4. Take the handle of a logical device created from the physical device, represented by the physical_device variable. Store the...
