## Detailed Description

The vertex input layout is defined by the collections of QRhiVertexInputBinding and QRhiVertexInputAttribute.

As an example, let's assume that we have a single buffer with 3 component vertex positions and 2 component UV coordinates interleaved (`x`, `y`, `z`, `u`, `v`), that the position and UV are expected at input locations 0 and 1 by the vertex shader, and that the vertex buffer will be bound at binding point 0 using setVertexInput() later on:

     QRhiVertexInputLayout inputLayout;
     inputLayout.setBindings({
         { 5 * sizeof(float) }
     });
     inputLayout.setAttributes({
         { 0, 0, QRhiVertexInputAttribute::Float3, 0 },
         { 0, 1, QRhiVertexInputAttribute::Float2, 3 * sizeof(float) }
     });

Note: This is a RHI API with limited compatibility guarantees, see QRhi for details.
