Hello,
At least in GCC 4.2.1, it prints out "restrict" in gimple format so that
I can track how restrict is passed along optimizations. But it
disapprears in GCC 4.3.0

Could you elaborate a little bit more? Which function/structure should I
look at? I tried to grep restrict/alias/.., no much clue. Thanks.

How not?
If we don't know, we can't fix them :)

You mean the dependence analysis used by the scheduler?
That stuff is in sched-deps.c
At the RTL level, restrict ends up being transformed into a different
alias set.
At the tree level, restrict info is not used very much right now.
