------- Comment #1 from pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org 2009-08-18 07:22 ------- Wait a second are you saying: volatile char * p_name
and p_name disappears? Well that is because p_name is no longer volatile but what it points to is. I don't think this is a bug in GCC but rather a misunderstanding on how qualifiers apply to types. If you use a typedef for char*, does it disappear? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41097
