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