#141850 - bu what is it good for then?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
OK I see (roughly) HOW it works if a variable is declared volatile, but what is it good for, then?

The common example murmurs something about interrupts, but for them obviously also atomicity is needed - what is the point of splitting these two things?
