Volatile is Necessary

[John Myers]

Is R. Stallman's reading of the ANSI draft wrong, or isn't it
necessary to declare automatic variables as 'volatile' in order to
guarantee that their values will be preseved across a setjmp/longjmp?
(as otherwise they could be placed in registers)

If RMS is right, then the committee botched setjmp/longjmp.
