> This patch adds a new lint warning category, namely `-Xlint:restricted` to enable warnings on restricted method calls.
> 
> The patch is relatively straightforward: javac marks methods that are marked with the `@Restricted` annotation with a corresponding internal flag. This is done both in `Annotate` when compiling JDK from source, and in `ClassReader` when JDK classfiles are read. When calls to methods marked with the special flag are found, a new warning is issued.
> 
> While there are some similarities between this new warning and the preview API warnings, the compiler does *not* emit a mandatory note when a compilation unit is found to have one or more restricted method calls. In other words, this is just a plain lint warning.
> 
> The output from javac looks as follows:
> 
> 
> Foo.java:6: warning: [restricted] MemorySegment.reinterpret(long) is a restricted method.
>       Arena.ofAuto().allocate(10).reinterpret(100);
>                                  ^
>   (Restricted methods are unsafe, and, if used incorrectly, they might crash the JVM or result in memory corruption)
