compiling with MSVC

[rlatowicz]

Hi Keith,
Thanks for sharing your library.

Changing the define at the bottom of statslib_options.hpp,
from:
#define __stats_pointer_settings__ __restrict__

to:
#define __stats_pointer_settings__ __restrict

will make the library compatible with MSVC as well as GCC/Clang.

Thanks again,
Rafael.

Hi @rlatowicz

Let me know if the new version works for you.

stats/include/misc/statslib_options.hpp

Lines 136 to 144 in eb11e2d

	#ifndef __stats_pointer_settings__
	#if defined(__clang__) || defined(__GNUC__)
	#define __stats_pointer_settings__ __restrict__
	#elif defined (_MSC_VER)
	#define __stats_pointer_settings__ __restrict
	#else
	#define __stats_pointer_settings__
	#endif
	#endif

That's great.

I wasn't as clear as I could have been.
GCC & Clang are happy with either,
__restrict__
or
__restrict

See here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Restricted-Pointers.html

So using,
__restrict

will work with GCC, Clang & MSVC.
No need to differentiate.

Thanks again.
Greatly appreciated.

Hmm. I've experienced different behavior with Clang in the past, but perhaps this is not longer the case. I'll leave it as-is for now but thanks for alerting me to this!
