Answer / selvakumar vedhachalam

It is nothing but telling to compiler that this variable
will change its value at anytime by means of anything and
compiler should not make any assumption about this variable.

Normally compiler will assume that some variable will be
constant during runtime. This may lead error in checking a
registor value repeatedly. Because the register value may
be changed by anything. So for these kind of variables
should be declared 'volatile' and it be checked each time
appears in the code with out any assumption.

It is nothing but telling to compiler that this variable
will change its value at anytime by hard or outside the
controll of the program and compiler should not make any
assumption or optimize about this variable.

Answer / deep

consider this outside main()

int i=10;
int j = i + 10;

here smart compilers always replace the i in the second
statement with 10, when we use volatile keyword this will be
avoided and always there is a check of the i variable ,
before initialising it..
So the optimisation here is avoided

Both 1 and 2 comments are correct.
Just simplifying this
"Recompute\Refresh every time when ever the volatile is
found."

compiler should not make any assumption about this variable.

Answer / s.m.faisal

volatile reduces the optimization .optimization means compiler should not make out that the variable has not changed its value so it reads the value directly from the register.
So while using volatile keyword compiler will directly access the variable from the memory not from the register bcz the value of the variable can be changed outside or inside the program.

Answer / lingaraj a

The programmer just give inform to compiler the value of
variable will change at any time without any action being by
program. The change will be made by hardware or external source.

Answer / justin arokiaraj.r

Volatile is used for direct memory access.it can be updated by both hardware and software .so unused volatile will not be optimized in compilation
.

Answer / greg

Volatile is a storage class that indicates that the
compiler should not perform any optimization on the
variable.

Write the following function in C. stripos — Find position of first occurrence of a case- insensitive string int stripos ( char* haystack, char* needle, int offset ) Returns the numeric position of the first occurrence of needle in the haystack string. Note that the needle may be a string of one or more characters. If needle is not found, stripos() will return -1. The function should not make use of any C library function calls.
