Subject: [9fans] 6c + volatile
Date: Thu,  8 Dec 2011 11:45:06 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <34a064cc312969c65a8ee1c2eb77d9df@brasstown.quanstro.net> (raw)

magic was declared alternately as an int, volatile int and int volatile.
(because i always get that backwards.) in all cases, the assembly was this:

main+0x168 0x0020039d	MOVL	magic(SB),CX
main+0x16f 0x002003a4	CMPL	CX,$0x1
main+0x172 0x002003a7	JNE	main+0x16f(SB)

perhaps i'm not reading the standard correctly, but i would have expected

vloop:
	MOVL	magic(SB), CX
	CMPL	CX, $1
	JNE	vloop

instead.  obviously, this doesn't happen when magic is an int*.
