ACX_C_RESTRICT
1.1.1.1 (2001/07/26) C_Support @ ac-archive-0.5.39
Steven G. Johnson <stevenj@alum.mit.edu>
This macro determines whether the C compiler supports the "restrict" keyword introduced in ANSI C99, or an equivalent. Does nothing if the compiler accepts the keyword. Otherwise, if the compiler supports an equivalent (like gcc's __restrict__) defines "restrict" to be that. Otherwise, defines "restrict" to be empty.
