Detailed Description

Specifies a resource binding operation.

The resource binding model in nicegraf is similar to that of Vulkan. Shaders group their resources into "sets", and individual slot within thosse sets are referred to as "bindings". The main difference in nicegraf is that one does not have to explicitly allocate descriptor pools like in Vulkan. Instead, the application code simply says which set and binding to assign a particular resource to. Internally, some optimization may be performed to avoid redundant binds. For backends that don't have a similar resource binding model (e.g. Metal), a special comment musst be added to the shader code that maps the backend's "native" binding model onto this one. See ngf_shader_stage_info::content for more details on that.
