------- Comment #6 from acahalan at gmail dot com 2006-02-22 03:28 ------- Yes, char pointers are special. I'd like a non-special char pointer.
I often know that a char pointer will never alias non-char data, but can not prove that it obeys all the complicated rules for __restrict. For non-char pointers the attribute would be useless unless -fno-strict-aliasing is in effect. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26372
