+ * @brief Record the dataset into the index, one source row at a time.
+ *
+ * The index consists of the dataset rows, grouped by their labels (into clusters/lists).
+ * Within each cluster (list), the data is grouped into blocks of `WarpSize` interleaved
+ * vectors. Note, the total index length is slightly larger than the dataset length, because
+ * each cluster is padded by `WarpSize` elements
+ *
+ * CUDA launch grid:
+ *   X dimension must cover the dataset (n_rows), YZ are not used;
+ *   there are no dependencies between threads, hence no constraints on the block size.
+ *
+ * @tparam T      element type.
+ * @tparam IdxT   type of the indices in the source source_vecs
+ * @tparam LabelT label type
+ * @tparam gather_src if false, then we build the index from vectors source_vecs[i,:], otherwise
+ *     we use source_vecs[source_ixs[i],:]. In both cases i=0..n_rows-1.
+ *
+ * @param[in] labels device pointer to the cluster ids for each row [n_rows]
+ * @param[in] source_vecs device pointer to the input data [n_rows, dim]
+ * @param[in] source_ixs device pointer to the input indices [n_rows]
+ * @param[out] list_data_ptrs device pointer to the index data of size [n_lists][index_size, dim]
+ * @param[out] list_index_ptrs device pointer to the source ids corr. to the output [n_lists]
+ * [index_size]
+ * @param[out] list_sizes_ptr device pointer to the cluster sizes [n_lists];
+ *                          it's used as an atomic counter, and must be initialized with zeros.
+ * @param n_rows source length
+ * @param dim the dimensionality of the data
+ * @param veclen size of vectorized loads/stores; must satisfy `dim % veclen == 0`.

-/**
- * @brief Record the dataset into the index, one source row at a time.
- *
- * The index consists of the dataset rows, grouped by their labels (into clusters/lists).
- * Within each cluster (list), the data is grouped into blocks of `WarpSize` interleaved
- * vectors. Note, the total index length is slightly larger than the dataset length, because
- * each cluster is padded by `WarpSize` elements
- *
- * CUDA launch grid:
- *   X dimension must cover the dataset (n_rows), YZ are not used;
- *   there are no dependencies between threads, hence no constraints on the block size.
- *
- * @tparam T      element type.
- * @tparam IdxT   type of the indices in the source source_vecs
- * @tparam LabelT label type
- * @tparam gather_src if false, then we build the index from vectors source_vecs[i,:], otherwise
- *     we use source_vecs[source_ixs[i],:]. In both cases i=0..n_rows-1.
- *
- * @param[in] labels device pointer to the cluster ids for each row [n_rows]
- * @param[in] source_vecs device pointer to the input data [n_rows, dim]
- * @param[in] source_ixs device pointer to the input indices [n_rows]
- * @param[out] list_data_ptrs device pointer to the index data of size [n_lists][index_size, dim]
- * @param[out] list_index_ptrs device pointer to the source ids corr. to the output [n_lists]
- * [index_size]
- * @param[out] list_sizes_ptr device pointer to the cluster sizes [n_lists];
- *                          it's used as an atomic counter, and must be initialized with zeros.
- * @param n_rows source length
- * @param dim the dimensionality of the data
- * @param veclen size of vectorized loads/stores; must satisfy `dim % veclen == 0`.
