Asking to read it by a volatile read does not change the nature of "foo" - the compiler can still implement it as a compile-time constant.
But since I am accessing the data through the pointer and the pointer qualifies the data as volatile, shouldn't the compiler avoid this kind of optimization for reads through the pointer?
It still is a regression from GCC45, however it might be considered a feature instead of a bug as I already mentioned to Ian.
