I'm surprised that, with the restrict keyword, one would see better code gen from Fortran than C. Isn't the lack of aliasing Fortran's primary advantage?
- neutronicus 11y agoLeveraging "restrict" is not a trivial thing to do. If you're a researcher first and a software developer second (which I suspect is true of gp), the last thing you want to do is get into the weeds of inspecting gcc assembly to figure out where you didn't put a "restrict" that you should've.
