it seems overloading on __restrict__ is not possible. I.e. GCC complains about: void foo(float *__restrict__ mem) const; void foo(float *mem) const; This, to me, seems to have a very valid use case. Also the AIX C++ compiler docs ( http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/comphelp/v7v91/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.vacpp7a.doc%2Flanguage%2Fref%2Fclrc03restrict_type_qualifier.htm) specify "The __restrict__ qualifier also affects parameter type specifications for overloaded functions in the same way as a cv-qualifier, thereby affecting the overload set."
Please read this page more carefully. void foo(float *const mem) const; void foo(float *mem) const; fails. void foo(float *__restrict__* mem) const; void foo(float **mem) const; works. -- Marc Glisse
