<a name="index-restricted-this-pointer"></a>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>As with the C front end, G++ understands the C99 feature of restricted pointers,
|
||
|
|
specified with the <code>__restrict__</code>, or <code>__restrict</code> type
|
||
|
|
qualifier. Because you cannot compile C++ by specifying the <samp>-std=c99</samp>
|
||
|
|
language flag, <code>restrict</code> is not a keyword in C++.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In addition to allowing restricted pointers, you can specify restricted
|
||
|
|
references, which indicate that the reference is not aliased in the local
|
||
|
|
context.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
||
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">void fn (int *__restrict__ rptr, int &__restrict__ rref)
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
/* <span class="roman">…</span> */
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
</pre></div>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>In the body of <code>fn</code>, <var>rptr</var> points to an unaliased integer and
|
||
|
|
<var>rref</var> refers to a (different) unaliased integer.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You may also specify whether a member function’s <var>this</var> pointer is
|
||
|
|
unaliased by using <code>__restrict__</code> as a member function qualifier.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
||
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">void T::fn () __restrict__
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
/* <span class="roman">…</span> */
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
</pre></div>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Within the body of <code>T::fn</code>, <var>this</var> has the effective
|
||
|
|
definition <code>T *__restrict__ const this</code>. Notice that the
|
||
|
|
interpretation of a <code>__restrict__</code> member function qualifier is
|
||
|
|
different to that of <code>const</code> or <code>volatile</code> qualifier, in that it
|
||
|
|
is applied to the pointer rather than the object. This is consistent with
|
||
|
|
other compilers that implement restricted pointers.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>As with all outermost parameter qualifiers, <code>__restrict__</code> is
|
||
|
|
ignored in function definition matching. This means you only need to
|
||
|
|
specify <code>__restrict__</code> in a function definition, rather than
|
||
|
|
in a function prototype as well.

||
|
