/**
 * cogl_attribute_new:
 * @attribute_buffer: The #CoglAttributeBuffer containing the actual
 *                    attribute data
 * @name: The name of the attribute (used to reference it from GLSL)
 * @stride: The number of bytes to jump to get to the next attribute
 *          value for the next vertex. (Usually
 *          <literal>sizeof (MyVertex)</literal>)
 * @offset: The byte offset from the start of @attribute_buffer for
 *          the first attribute value. (Usually
 *          <literal>offsetof (MyVertex, component0)</literal>
 * @components: The number of components (e.g. 4 for an rgba color or
 *              3 for and (x,y,z) position)
 * @type: FIXME
 *
 * Describes the layout for a list of vertex attribute values (For
 * example, a list of texture coordinates or colors).
 *
 * The @name is used to access the attribute inside a GLSL vertex
 * shader and there are some special names you should use if they are
 * applicable:
 *  <itemizedlist>
 *    <listitem>"cogl_position_in" (used for vertex positions)</listitem>
 *    <listitem>"cogl_color_in" (used for vertex colors)</listitem>
 *    <listitem>"cogl_tex_coord0_in", "cogl_tex_coord1", ...
 * (used for vertex texture coordinates)</listitem>
 *    <listitem>"cogl_normal_in" (used for vertex normals)</listitem>
 *  </itemizedlist>
 *
 * The attribute values corresponding to different vertices can either
 * be tightly packed or interleaved with other attribute values. For
 * example it's common to define a structure for a single vertex like:
 * |[
 * typedef struct
 * {
 *   float x, y, z; /<!-- -->* position attribute *<!-- -->/
 *   float s, t; /<!-- -->* texture coordinate attribute *<!-- -->/
 * } MyVertex;
 * ]|
 *
 * And then create an array of vertex data something like:
 * |[
 * MyVertex vertices[100] = { .... }
 * ]|
 *
 * In this case, to describe either the position or texture coordinate
 * attribute you have to move <literal>sizeof (MyVertex)</literal> bytes to
 * move from one vertex to the next.  This is called the attribute
 * @stride. If you weren't interleving attributes and you instead had
 * a packed array of float x, y pairs then the attribute stride would
 * be <literal>(2 * sizeof (float))</literal>. So the @stride is the number of
 * bytes to move to find the attribute value of the next vertex.
 *
 * Normally a list of attributes starts at the beginning of an array.
 * So for the <literal>MyVertex</literal> example above the @offset is the
 * offset inside the <literal>MyVertex</literal> structure to the first
 * component of the attribute. For the texture coordinate attribute
 * the offset would be <literal>offsetof (MyVertex, s)</literal> or instead of
 * using the offsetof macro you could use <literal>sizeof (float) *
 * 3</literal>.  If you've divided your @array into blocks of non-interleved
 * attributes then you will need to calculate the @offset as the number of
 * bytes in blocks preceding the attribute you're describing.
 *
 * An attribute often has more than one component. For example a color
 * is often comprised of 4 red, green, blue and alpha @components, and a
 * position may be comprised of 2 x and y @components. You should aim
 * to keep the number of components to a minimum as more components
 * means more data needs to be mapped into the GPU which can be a
 * bottlneck when dealing with a large number of vertices.
 *
 * Finally you need to specify the component data type. Here you
 * should aim to use the smallest type that meets your precision
 * requirements. Again the larger the type then more data needs to be
 * mapped into the GPU which can be a bottlneck when dealing with
 * a large number of vertices.
 *
 * Returns: A newly allocated #CoglAttribute describing the
 *          layout for a list of attribute values stored in @array.
 *
 * Since: 1.4
 * Stability: Unstable
