17 /**\def __restrict__
18  *\brief Provide functionality similar to C99 \c restrict keyword
19  *
20  * Tell the compiler that a pointer is not aliased. This means that
21  * programmer guarantees that no other pointer will be used to reference
22  * memory that is referenced through the designated pointer unless it
23  * is obivous to the compiler in the relevant function. A typical use
24  * for this is to specify that two pointer arguments to a function will
25  * never be used to reference overlapping memory. For example:
26  *\code
27  * void* memcpy(void* __restrict__ dest, const void* __restrict__ src, size_t len);
28  *\endcode
29  * Says that the memory locations indicated by the \c dest and \c src pointers
30  * will never be used to reference overlapping memory, including offsets up to
31  * \c len.
32  *
33  * Notifying the compiler about lack of pointer aliasing allows it to make
34  * better optimizations. However, the behavior is undefined (and probably
35  * broken in platform-specific ways) if designated pointers are aliased.

49  *\brief Give a hint to the compiler the function is like \c printf
50  *
51  * Tell the compiler that the function involves a printf-style format
52  * string and varargs list. This gives the compiler the opportunity
53  * to warn if the argument types do not match the format string.
54  * This macro should be inluded after the complete function declaration,
55  * but before the closing semi-colon.
56  *
57  *\param START The position of the format string in the argument list, where
58  * the first argument is 1.
59  *\NOTE This macro is designed to be used with member functions of C++ classes,
60  * and therefore explicitly accounts for the implicit \c this pointer
61  * in the argument list. It will not work correctly with static or
62  * non-member functions.
63  *\NOTE This macro assumes that the arguments referenced in the format string
64  * begin immediately after the format string itself.
