1. Volatile is a global variable. No: volatile may equally be applied to local variables. 2. takes 1 byte of instruction No: Volatile may be applied to any variable of any size, and does not affect the size. 3. Compiler cannot optimise the variable. Not exactly: It's only apparently redundant accesses that are affected. 4. type casting is not allowed. Eh?? 5. Value can be modified by ports, Hardware, interrupts,serial ports only. No: volatile places no restriction on what can modify the value. 6. Always allocated in Heap memory. No: not true at all. 7. Permanent memory location is allocated for it. No: volatile does not affect the storage allocated Note that your statement 7 contradicts your statement 6! |
