True - there is a few cases where volatile can be used (I know too little about security to say if using just volatile is ok from standard POV). I guess you could reformulate my question into - "in most you don't need volatile and many programmers use volatile as atomic despite it does not mean that. Are you sure that your use case is legitimate?". Regards
