This is a tricky case, since the underlying memory pointed to by the pointer is
non-volatile.  In other words, the compiler knows that "s" is non volatile,
even though the pointer type is "volatile int *".

The C99 standard (5.1.2.3) says that "accessing a volatile object" is a
side-effect.  The C++ standard ([basic.intro]), however, says that "accessing
an object designated by a volatile lvalue" is a side-effect.   In this case, I
would think the object to be non-volatile, but the lvalue to be volatile.  

How confusing!
