Just to quote tree.h:
/* In any expression, decl, or constant, nonzero means it has side effects or
reevaluation of the whole expression could produce a different value.
This is set if any subexpression is a function call, a side effect or a
reference to a volatile variable. In a ..._DECL, this is set only if the
declaration said `volatile'. This will never be set for a constant. */
#define TREE_SIDE_EFFECTS(NODE) \
(NON_TYPE_CHECK (NODE)->base.side_effects_flag)
so if exp is a decl then that's the volatile check.
