  cv-qualifier  ::= const  volatile  cv-qualifier-seq  ::= const  volatile  const volatile  volatile const 

The volatile qualifier can be used with objects and member functions. The volatile qualifier tells the compiler to avoid certain optimizations because the object's value can change in unexpected ways. As a function qualifier, volatile tells the compiler to treat this as a volatile pointer in the member function body.

Example

  volatile  sig_atomic_t interrupted = false;
