restrict关键字在C语言中用于指针声明，告知编译器该指针是访问其所指向对象的唯一方式，避免别名问题，从而可能提高优化效率。使用时需确保不违反条件，否则可能导致未定义行为。restrict不被C++支持，是C语言特有的类型限定符。

usage:
	restrict keyword is mainly used in pointer declarations as a type qualifier for pointers.

It doesn’t add any new functionality. 
	It is only a way for programmer to inform about an optimization that compiler can make.
	When we use restrict with a pointer ptr, it tells the compiler that ptr is the only way to access the object pointed by it
	in other words, there’s no other pointer pointing to the same object 
	i.e. restrict keyword specifies that a particular pointer argument does not alias any other 
	and the compiler doesn’t need to add any additional checks.
	
note:
	If a programmer uses restrict keyword and violate the above condition, the result is undefined behavior.
restrict is not supported by C++.
	It is a C only keyword.
