Yes, exactly: compat.h redefines restrict as __restrict, but only for VS 2005 and older. Unfortunately this also changes __declspec(restrict) to __declspec(__restrict) which results in compilation errors.

A possible solution is to ensure that compat.h is always the last (there are no other header files after it). But it's much simpler to remove this redefinition.
