== Vertex Attributes
Vertex shaders can: define input variables, which receive _vertex attribute_
data transferred from one or more sname:VkBuffer(s) by drawing commands.
Vertex shader input variables are bound to buffers via an indirect binding
where the vertex shader associates a _vertex input attribute_ number with
each variable, vertex input attributes are associated to _vertex input
bindings_ on a per-pipeline basis, and vertex input bindings are associated
with specific buffers on a per-draw basis via the
fname:vkCmdBindVertexBuffers command.
Vertex input attribute and vertex input binding descriptions also contain
format information controlling how data is extracted from buffer memory and
converted to the format expected by the vertex shader.
There are sname:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::pname:maxVertexInputAttributes
number of vertex input attributes and
sname:VkPhysicalDeviceLimits::pname:maxVertexInputBindings number of vertex
input bindings (each referred to by zero-based indices), where there are at
least as many vertex input attributes as there are vertex input bindings.
Applications can: store multiple vertex input attributes interleaved in a
single buffer, and use a single vertex input binding to access those
attributes.
In GLSL, vertex shaders associate input variables with a vertex input
attribute number using the code:location layout qualifier.
The code:component layout qualifier associates components of a vertex shader
input variable with components of a vertex input attribute.
.GLSL example
[source,glsl]
---------------------------------------------------
// Assign location M to variableName
layout (location=M, component=2) in vec2 variableName;
// Assign locations [N,N+L) to the array elements of variableNameArray
layout (location=N) in vec4 variableNameArray[L];
---------------------------------------------------
In SPIR-V, vertex shaders associate input variables with a vertex input
attribute number using the code:Location decoration.
The code:Component decoration associates components of a vertex shader input
variable with components of a vertex input attribute.
The code:Location and code:Component decorations are specified via the
code:OpDecorate instruction.

[[fxvertex-attrib-location]]
=== Attribute Location and Component Assignment
Vertex shaders allow code:Location and code:Component decorations on input
variable declarations.
The code:Location decoration specifies which vertex input attribute is used
to read and interpret the data that a variable will consume.
The code:Component decoration allows the location to be more finely
specified for scalars and vectors, down to the individual components within
a location that are consumed.
The components within a location are 0, 1, 2, and 3.
A variable starting at component N will consume components N, N+1, N+2, ...
up through its size.
For single precision types, it is invalid if the sequence of components gets
larger than 3.
When a vertex shader input variable declared using a scalar or vector 32-bit
data type is assigned a location, its value(s) are taken from the components
of the input attribute specified with the corresponding
sname:VkVertexInputAttributeDescription::pname:location.
The components used depend on the type of variable and the code:Component
decoration specified in the variable declaration, as identified in
<<fxvertex-attrib-components>>.
Any 32-bit scalar or vector input will consume a single location.
For 32-bit data types, missing components are filled in with default values
as described <<fxvertex-input-extraction,below>>.

|====
Components indicated by "`o`" are available for use by other input variables
which are sourced from the same attribute, and if used, are either filled
with the corresponding component from the input format (if present), or the
default value.
When a vertex shader input variable declared using a 32-bit floating point
matrix type is assigned a location _i_, its values are taken from
consecutive input attributes starting with the corresponding
sname:VkVertexInputAttributeDescription::pname:location.
Such matrices are treated as an array of column vectors with values taken
from the input attributes identified in <<fxvertex-attrib-matrix>>.
The sname:VkVertexInputAttributeDescription::pname:format must: be specified
with a elink:VkFormat that corresponds to the appropriate type of column
vector.
The code:Component decoration must: not be used with matrix types.

|====
Components indicated by "`o`" are available for use by other input variables
which are sourced from the same attribute, and if used, are either filled
with the corresponding component from the input (if present), or the default
value.
When a vertex shader input variable declared using a scalar or vector 64-bit
data type is assigned a location _i_, its values are taken from consecutive
input attributes starting with the corresponding
sname:VkVertexInputAttributeDescription::pname:location.
The locations and components used depend on the type of variable and the
code:Component decoration specified in the variable declaration, as
identified in <<fxvertex-attrib-double>>.
For 64-bit data types, no default attribute values are provided.
Input variables must: not use more components than provided by the
attribute.
Input attributes which have one- or two-component 64-bit formats will
consume a single location.
Input attributes which have three- or four-component 64-bit formats will
consume two consecutive locations.
A 64-bit scalar data type will consume two components, and a 64-bit
two-component vector data type will consume all four components available
within a location.
A three- or four-component 64-bit data type must: not specify a component.
A three-component 64-bit data type will consume all four components of the
first location and components 0 and 1 of the second location.
This leaves components 2 and 3 available for other component-qualified
declarations.
A four-component 64-bit data type will consume all four components of the
first location and all four components of the second location.
It is invalid for a scalar or two-component 64-bit data type to specify a
component of 1 or 3.

Components indicated by "`o`" are available for use by other input variables
which are sourced from the same attribute.
Components indicated by "`-`" are not available for input variables as there
are no default values provided for 64-bit data types, and there is no data
provided by the input format.
When a vertex shader input variable declared using a 64-bit floating-point
matrix type is assigned a location _i_, its values are taken from
consecutive input attribute locations.
Such matrices are treated as an array of column vectors with values taken
from the input attributes as shown in <<fxvertex-attrib-double>>.
Each column vector starts at the location immediately following the last
location of the previous column vector.
The number of attributes and components assigned to each matrix is
determined by the matrix dimensions and ranges from two to eight locations.
When a vertex shader input variable declared using an array type is assigned
a location, its values are taken from consecutive input attributes starting
with the corresponding
sname:VkVertexInputAttributeDescription::pname:location.
The number of attributes and components assigned to each element are
determined according to the data type of the array elements and
code:Component decoration (if any) specified in the declaration of the
array, as described above.
Each element of the array, in order, is assigned to consecutive locations,
but all at the same specified component within each location.
Only input variables declared with the data types and component decorations
as specified above are supported.
_Location aliasing_ is causing two variables to have the same location
number.
_Component aliasing_ is assigning the same (or overlapping) component number
for two location aliases.
Location aliasing is allowed only if it does not cause component aliasing.
Further, when location aliasing, the aliases sharing the location must: all
have the same SPIR-V floating-point component type or all have the same
width integer-type components.

base type of the format; the base type of the format must: match the base
type of the input variable in the shader.
If pname:format is a packed format, `attribAddress` must: be a multiple of
the size in bytes of the whole attribute data type as described in
<<formats-packed,Packed Formats>>.
Otherwise, `attribAddress` must: be a multiple of the size in bytes of the
component type indicated by pname:format (see <<formats,Formats>>).
If the format does not include G, B, or A components, then those are filled
with [eq]#(0,0,1)# as needed (using either 1.0f or integer 1 based on the
format) for attributes that are not 64-bit data types.
The number of components in the vertex shader input variable need not
exactly match the number of components in the format.
If the vertex shader has fewer components, the extra components are
discarded.
