That's true, but what qualifies as an "access" to an object that is type qualified with the 'volatile' keyword is _implementation_ defined, meaning the behavior is defined by the compiler and not this new architecture you're proposing 'volatile' is appropriate for. That's pure C99. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
