I'm aware of the restrict keyword, though its usage is not typical. It enables an optimization that fortran has by default, that was my point.

And yes, I already said that packages like blas have had massive amounts of work put into them and have lasting power.

I didn't downvote you, if that's what you were hinting at, however your phrasing was more likely to be interpreted as "C can't do that" as opposed to "C doesn't default to that".

It seems we agree, after all.

I believe we do.
