 * @brief ROCTx API interface for AMD code annotation and profiling
 *
 * @mainpage ROCTx API Specification
 *
 * @section introduction Introduction
 * ROCTx is a comprehensive library that implements the AMD code annotation API. It provides
 * essential functionality for:
 * - Event annotation and marking
 * - Code range tracking and management
 * - Profiler control and customization
 * - Thread and device naming capabilities
 *
 * Key features:
 * - Nested range tracking with push/pop functionality
 * - Process-wide range management
 * - Thread-specific and global profiler control
 * - Device and stream naming support
 * - HSA agent and HIP device management
 *
 * The API is divided into several main components:
 * 1. Markers - For single event annotations
 * 2. Ranges - For tracking code execution spans
 * 3. Profiler Control - For managing profiling tool behavior
 * 4. Naming Utilities - For labeling threads, devices, and streams
 *
 * Thread Safety:
 * - Range operations are thread-local and thread-safe
 * - Marking operations are thread-safe
 * - Profiler control operations are process-wide
 *
 * Integration:
 * - Compatible with HIP runtime
 * - Supports HSA (Heterogeneous System Architecture)
 * - Provides both C and C++ interfaces
 *
 * Performance Considerations:
 * - Minimal overhead for marking and range operations
 * - Thread-local storage for efficient range stacking
 * - Lightweight profiler control mechanisms
 *
 * @note All string parameters must be null-terminated
 * @warning Proper nesting of range push/pop operations is user's responsibility

 * ranges. The API provides functions to push and pop ranges from the stack.
 * The API also provides functions to start and stop ranges, which are
 * process-wide. Each range is assigned a unique ID, which can be used to
 * identify the range when stopping it.
