Removed C++ APIs and Replacements#

Warning

The APIs listed below have been removed in TensorRT 11.x and will cause compile-time errors if used. Review each entry for its replacement before upgrading.

BuilderFlag::kFP16: Strong typing with ModelOpt AutoCast
BuilderFlag::kINT8: Explicit quantization with Q/DQ nodes
BuilderFlag::kFP8: Explicit quantization with Q/DQ nodes

IAlgorithm, IAlgorithmContext, IAlgorithmIOInfo, IAlgorithmSelector, IAlgorithmVariant: Use editable mode in ITimingCache instead.
IBuilderConfig::setInt8Calibrator(IInt8Calibrator*): Explicit quantization with Q/DQ nodes
IBuilder::platformHasFastFp16(): Removed; use strongly typed networks instead of querying platform FP16 support. Third-party code that links against TensorRT 11.x — including the ONNX Runtime TensorRT Execution Provider — must migrate away from this API. ONNX Runtime 1.27+ supports TensorRT 11.x. Refer to the TensorRT 11.0.0 release notes (Known Issues) and TensorRT 11.1.0 release notes (Fixed Issues).
