I'm currently using a lot of pointers to perform heavy computation
Has D the equivalent for C's restrict ? More generally, how does D
cope with the aliasing of pointers ? I think it's crucial for the
code optimizer.
My recollection of reading the spec is that a D compiler is allowed to
optimise by assuming no pointer aliasing. But I can't remember at the
moment where I read this.
But in the absence of this, you can use contracts to guard against at
least the simplest forms of aliasing.
