------- Comment #1 from burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org 2006-11-03 17:03 ------- A good introduction into restricted can be found at http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/articles/cc_restrict.html
Maybe this is something for the array implementation in gfortran? I don't fully understand how the data part of arrays are used, but I would assume they are pointers where the "restricted" part is not given. As Fortran requires "target" for arrays to which a pointer may point, it should be easy to add "restricted" in the non-target case; according to the article it helps the compiler quit a bit to optimize - as "const" does. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29697
