<p>Each individual type in the C <a href="compatible_type.html" title="c/language/type">type system</a> has several <i>qualified</i> versions of that type, corresponding to one, two, or all three of the <a href="const.html" title="c/language/const">const</a>, <i>volatile</i>, and, for pointers to object types, <a href="restrict.html" title="c/language/restrict">restrict</a> qualifiers. This page describes the effects of the <i>volatile</i> qualifier.
</p><p>Every access (both read and write) made through an lvalue expression of volatile-qualified type is considered an observable side effect for the purpose of optimization and is evaluated strictly according to the rules of the abstract machine (that is, all writes are completed at some time before the next sequence point). This means that within a single thread of execution, volatile accesses cannot be reordered relative to other visible side effects or optimized out.
</p><p>A cast of a non-volatile value to a volatile type has no effect. To access a non-volatile object using volatile semantics, its address must be cast to a pointer-to-volatile and then the access must be made through that pointer.
</p><p>Any attempt to read or write to an object whose type is volatile-qualified through a non-volatile lvalue results in undefined behavior:
