Use of 'volatile' on RISC ULTRIX C compiler

[Martin C. Fong]

How does the 'volatile' keyword affect the declarations below:

	volatile int * a;
	int volatile * b;
	int * volatile c;

All three statements are legal under the RISC ULTRIX C compiler.

Most of the documentation I have (including DEC's) does not elaborate
enough (for me anyway) on how the 'volatile' declaration should be
used.


Thanks.
