        <pre>This:

int foo() {
    int * const restrict * restrict f = 0;
    int * const * b = 0;
    f = b;
        b = f;

    f = b;
    b = f;

    return 0;

produces (godbolt: <a href="https://godbolt.org/z/gvUZfc">https://godbolt.org/z/gvUZfc</a>) these warnings:

---

I'm not sure how "incompatible" these pointers really are, but I expect a
restrict pointer to implicitly coerce to a non-restrict one at least. Like, in
this example:

int foo() {
    int * const * f = 0;
    int * * b = 0;
    f = b;

    return 0;
}

no warnings are produced.</pre>
