11# --------------
12# Determine whether the C/C++ compiler supports the "restrict" keyword
13# introduced in ANSI C99, or an equivalent.  Do nothing if the compiler
14# accepts it.  Otherwise, if the compiler supports an equivalent,
15# define "restrict" to be that.  Here are some variants:
16# - GCC supports both __restrict and __restrict__
17# - older DEC Alpha C compilers support only __restrict
18# - _Restrict is the only spelling accepted by Sun WorkShop 6 update 2 C
19# Otherwise, define "restrict" to be empty.
