      <para>Marks a location in the memory store as volatile.</para>
    </summary>
    <remarks>
      <para>
        <see cref="T:System.Runtime.CompilerServices.IsVolatile" /> is a class used only in custom modifiers of method signatures to indicate that a location in the memory store (see "The Memory Store" in Partition I) is "volatile".</para>
      <para>When used as a required modifier, any compiler that successfully imports metadata that describes a memory location as "volatile" is required to use <see langword="volatile." /> 
prefixed instructions to access such locations. Examples of such locations are volatile fields, volatile targets of pointers, and volatile elements of arrays.</para>
      <block subset="none" type="note">
        <para>For most languages, it is recommended that the notion of "volatile" be attached to locations using language syntax instead of custom modifiers.</para>
        <para>The types in 
   <see langword="System.Runtime.CompilerServices" /> are intended primarily for use by
      compilers, not application programmers. They allow compilers to easily
      implement certain language features that are not directly visible to
      programmers.</para>
      </block>
      <para>For more information on custom modifiers, see
   Partition II of the CLI Specification.</para>
