I believe __restrict, and __builtin_prefetch/__builtin_assume are compiler extensions, not part of the C++ language as is, and different compilers implement (or don't) these differently.

The rust compiler actually has similar things, but they're not available in stable builds. I suppose there are some issues if principle why not to include them in stable. E.g: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/intrinsics/fn.prefetch_read_da...

Maybe some time in the future good acceptable abstractions will be conceived for them.. Perhaps using just using nightly builds for HPC is not that far out, though.
