from whatever i have read in books and online i understand it is to retains value of a variable which can be changed by some thing beyond the scope of programmer. No, it's the opposite of that! It tells the compiler not to retain the value of a variable - because it is likely to be changed by some thing not visible to the compiler. Key examples are variables that are modified by interrupts, and memory-mapped IO. |
