I've verified in a personal project that this code works. I'd like to get a review of it so we can hopefully get this merged! Going to ping @Jasper-Bekkers, hopefully this isn't too much of a hassle. No rush here just want to make sure you see it! |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think on other platforms then we should fail with an error rather then silently failing to create an exportable texture.

The error would occur elsewhere, see lines 843-845

This has been tested by my own project, though no in tree testing is there yet(not sure how I'd add that). Also, the testing is only for vulkan Linux but I suspect it would also work on Windows in its current state.
Based on discussion in #274, also going to ping @Jasper-Bekkers :)
Implementation details: the memory is only allocated with support for exporting it later. The user must manually export the memory later, though this isn't very difficult. Used as a reference was this article from vulkan docs.
