(all of this doesn't matter - the bug is in the compiler's parser)
>Description:
Consider the next 2 code fragments:

FIRST:
	int * __restrict p;

SECOND:
	typedef int * pint;
	pint __restrict p;

 I think they both should compile in the same way,
but that's not the case. The c++ compiler rejects the second one
with error `two or more data types in declaration of `p''

 The c compiler does the right thing - makes no difference
between both fragments (exept, of course, that the second
one defines one extra symbol - `pint')

see the description (it's simple enough, really)
