#141843 - what's exactly the value of volatile, then?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
It does not ensure atomicity, apparently... Is there any example to show that in less than - as you mention - a lot of techtalk in C99 which I wouldn't understand anyway?

Or, putting the question in other way, is there any method to ensure atomicity "automatically", at least in cases where the "read only once in C statement" (whatever it means) applies?
