Since C99 so 15 years, which is older than ffmpeg.

What I meant is how long is it supported by compilers. I know its by GCC, but I think it's not by MSCV. Is it possible to compile ffmpeg with MSVC? But ok, one could use it and just #define it away for crappy compilers.

According to MSDN, Visual C++ has supported the equivalent __restrict keyword since at least 2005 [1], and according to the ffmpeg documentation [2], "FFmpeg can be built with MSVC 2012 or earlier using a C99-to-C89 conversion utility and wrapper, or with MSVC 2013 and ICL natively."
