Problem

doc/doxygen/doxyfile.in is outdated (issue #2666): 7 of the 13 EXCLUDE paths no longer exist:

• @PCL_SOURCE_DIR@/3rdparty (top level, moved long ago)
• @PCL_SOURCE_DIR@/android
• @PCL_SOURCE_DIR@/surface/include/pcl/surface/poisson and .../impl/poisson
• @PCL_SOURCE_DIR@/surface/include/pcl/surface/openNURBS and .../impl/nurbs
• @PCL_SOURCE_DIR@/test/gtest-1.6.0 (the test/ dir itself is already excluded)

Because INPUT recursively parses the whole source tree, the vendored 3rd-party headers that now live in surface/include/pcl/surface/3rdparty/ (opennurbs/, poisson4/) and recognition/include/pcl/recognition/3rdparty/ (metslib/) are being parsed and documented: the published annotated list at pointclouds.org currently includes internal classes such as pcl::poisson::SparseMatrix, pcl::poisson::OctNode and pcl::poisson::Allocator.

Fix

• Drop the 7 dead paths.
• Add the two real 3rd-party header directories to EXCLUDE.
• Keep the still-valid entries (cmake, test, apps, tools, surface/include/pcl/surface/on_nurbs, simulation).

Fixes #2666

Testing

• Verified every removed path is missing and every kept/added path exists on current master.
• Docs-configuration change only; no code affected.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Doxygen documentation now includes content from several previously excluded areas, including third-party, Android, Poisson, NURBS, and openNURBS paths.
  • Documentation continues to exclude tests, apps, tools, simulation, and the specified NURBS include path.

Thanks for removing the non-existing paths, but I think I would rather not add the .../surface/3rdparty and .../recognition/3rdparty paths. That documentation might still be useful to someone.

- Line 134: Add the surface vendored-header directory to the Doxygen exclusions
in the configuration near the simulation entry, so recursive source-root input
does not include its declarations. Do not add a recognition-directory exclusion;
its headers are not selected by the current FILE_PATTERNS.

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #2666 requires an updated Doxygen EXCLUDE configuration. The change removes the seven obsolete entries and keeps the valid entries. It does not add @PCL_SOURCE_DIR@/surface/include/pcl/surface/3rdparty or @PCL_SOURCE_DIR@/recognition/include/pcl/recognition/3rdparty. Both directories contain vendored headers at the reviewed head, so INPUT can still recurse into them.

Resolution

Add both existing third-party directory paths to EXCLUDE in doc/doxygen/doxyfile.in. Verify the resulting list against the source tree.

Exclude the surface vendored headers.

The merge-base did not contain either exact 3rdparty exclusion, so add the surface exclusion instead of restoring it. The surface directory contains matching headers under the recursive source-root input, and Doxygen can include their declarations in the generated documentation. The recognition directory contains only .hh files, which are not selected by the current FILE_PATTERNS, so adding that exclusion is not needed for this configuration.
