Well, in theory you are right. In practice, the restrict macro tries to get a spelling that is likely to be accepted by the C++ compiler as well, and the inline case checks for a specific compiler bug: # HP C version B.11.11.04 doesn't allow a typedef as the return value for an # inline function, only builtin types. I can only check B.11.11.20, and it does not seem to have that bug (any more). Cheers, Ralf
