The trouble with volatileThe trouble with volatilePosted May 11, 2007 6:16 UTC (Fri) by jzbiciak (✭ supporter ✭, #5246)Parent article: The trouble with volatile
Hiding 'volatile' in the various accessor macros, etc. is entirely different than bare 'volatile' in the code. The statement that "volatile is said to be basically-always-wrong in-kernel" applies to the second case in my opinion. The platform and compiler specific trickery is safely hidden away, and the rest of the kernel "does the right thing" no matter where it runs. This document will keep you busy for awhile. Heavy stuff.
