I was not commenting on any part of the message that I didn't quote. :)
Kyle's claim about things like cache's and registers is wrong, not even
sort-of right. The standard talks about only in terms of sequence points,
and volatile limits what can be done in terms of sequence points. So
extern volatile char* p;
int i, j;
i = *p;
j = *p;
The standard says that the compiler may not treat this as
j = i = *p;
*and that's all it says.*
