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

/**\def PRINT_FORMAT(start)
 *\brief Give a hint to the compiler the function is like \c printf
 *
 * Tell the compiler that the function involves a printf-style format
 * string and varargs list.  This gives the compiler the opportunity
 * to warn if the argument types do not match the format string.
 * This macro should be inluded after the complete function declaration,
 * but before the closing semi-colon.
 *
 *\param START The position of the format string in the argument list, where
 *             the first argument is 1.
 *\NOTE This macro is designed to be used with member functions of C++ classes,
 *      and therefore explicitly accounts for the implicit \c this pointer
 *      in the argument list.  It will not work correctly with static or
 *      non-member functions.
 *\NOTE This macro assumes that the arguments referenced in the format string
 *      begin immediately after the format string itself.
