Fix Doxygen documentation build error in onnxruntime_c_api.h by nieubank · Pull Request #27083 · microsoft/onnxruntime

@nieubank

The OrtExternalResourceImporter types added in #26828 were wrapped in a Doxygen group block, but this section of the file is already within an existing Global group scope (opened at line 289, closed at end of file). This caused Doxygen to fail with:

  error: Refusing to add group Global to itself

Remove the redundant group markers since the new types correctly inherit the existing Global group context. Verified locally with Doxygen 1.16.1.

@nieubank

Fixes multiple Doxygen errors introduced by recent API additions that
cause the nightly documentation build to fail with WARN_AS_ERROR=YES.

Root causes by PR:

PR #26828 (c54be3c - OrtExternalResourceImporter API for D3D12):
- Incorrect \param names for ORT_CLASS_RELEASE macros: the macro
  expands to use 'input' as the parameter name, but docs used
  'importer' and 'handle'

PR #26927 (1ed8fd9 - Control flow kernels API):
- Used ::CreateLoopKernel() and ::CreateScanKernel() syntax which
  Doxygen cannot resolve as links

PR #26971 (3874516 - CreateEnvWithOptions API):
- Used ::SetSessionLogSeverityLevel() and ::RunOptionsSetRunLogSeverityLevel()
  syntax which Doxygen cannot resolve
- Used <ep_name> in documentation which Doxygen interprets as HTML tag
- Used incorrect \param[out] name 'out' instead of 'config_entries'

Fixes:
- Qualify method references with struct name (e.g., OrtApi::Method)
- Escape angle brackets as \<ep_name\>
- Use 'input' as param name for ORT_CLASS_RELEASE documentation
- Use actual param name 'config_entries' for GetEnvConfigEntries

Verified locally with Doxygen 1.9.8 (matches CI configuration).

# Fix Doxygen documentation build errors from recent PRs

Fixes multiple Doxygen errors introduced by recent API additions that
cause the nightly documentation build to fail (`WARN_AS_ERROR=YES`).

## Summary by PR

| PR | Issues |
|----|--------|
| **#26828** (c54be3c) - OrtExternalResourceImporter API for D3D12 |
Duplicate Doxygen group, incorrect `\param` names for
`ORT_CLASS_RELEASE` macros |
| **#26927** (1ed8fd9) - Control flow kernels API | `::Method()` syntax
unresolvable by Doxygen |
| **#26971** (3874516) - CreateEnvWithOptions API | `::Method()`
syntax, `<ep_name>` HTML interpretation, incorrect param name |

## Technical Details

### `ORT_CLASS_RELEASE` Macro Issue

The `ORT_CLASS_RELEASE(X)` macro at line 164 expands to:
```cpp
void(ORT_API_CALL * Release##X)(_Frees_ptr_opt_ Ort##X * input)
```

The parameter is always named `input`, but the documentation in PR
#26828 used semantic names like `importer` and `handle`. Doxygen
validates `\param` names against actual parameter names in the expanded
code.

### Doxygen Link Resolution

Doxygen 1.9.8 cannot resolve `::MethodName()` as a link to a method. The
correct syntax is to qualify with the struct name: `OrtApi::MethodName`.

## Testing

Verified locally with Doxygen 1.9.8 (matches CI configuration).

# Fix Doxygen documentation build errors from recent PRs

Fixes multiple Doxygen errors introduced by recent API additions that

## Summary by PR

| PR | Issues |
|----|--------|
| **microsoft#26828** (c54be3c) - OrtExternalResourceImporter API for D3D12 |
Duplicate Doxygen group, incorrect `\param` names for
`ORT_CLASS_RELEASE` macros |
| **microsoft#26927** (1ed8fd9) - Control flow kernels API | `::Method()` syntax
unresolvable by Doxygen |
| **microsoft#26971** (3874516) - CreateEnvWithOptions API | `::Method()`
syntax, `<ep_name>` HTML interpretation, incorrect param name |

## Technical Details

### `ORT_CLASS_RELEASE` Macro Issue

The `ORT_CLASS_RELEASE(X)` macro at line 164 expands to:
```cpp
void(ORT_API_CALL * Release##X)(_Frees_ptr_opt_ Ort##X * input)
```

The parameter is always named `input`, but the documentation in PR
microsoft#26828 used semantic names like `importer` and `handle`. Doxygen
validates `\param` names against actual parameter names in the expanded
code.

### Doxygen Link Resolution

Doxygen 1.9.8 cannot resolve `::MethodName()` as a link to a method. The
correct syntax is to qualify with the struct name: `OrtApi::MethodName`.

## Testing

Verified locally with Doxygen 1.9.8 (matches CI configuration).
